AxC's Kavar's Extended Choices

This mod allows players who take General Vaklu’s route on Onderon to complete the questline without having to kill Master Kavar. This can be achieved (or failed) through various dialogue paths, exploring different topics such as proving General Vaklu to be the best choice for Onderon, convincing Kavar that he is fighting a battle he cannot win, guilt-tripping him, and more. The main focus of the mod is to add more interactions with Kavar, who was a mentor and a friend to the Exile — a connection that was scarcely explored in the vanilla game. It also adds complexity to Onderonian politics, allowing the player to shape Onderon's future without the necessity of killing a Jedi. Additionally, this mod allows players who initially sided with Vaklu to betray him and switch sides at the last possible moment.

In newest update, you also have the option to imprison Talia instead of outright executing her.


Key Features:

Spare Master Kavar and meet him later on Dantooine, without following the “light” path on Onderon.
Change sides after sparring with Master Kavar, keeping Queen Talia on the throne.
End Kavar’s life prematurely, skipping his third-phase fight.
Multiple ways to persuade Kavar, allowing you to roleplay your character in various ways.
Regardless of how you dealt with Kavar, you can now convince Vaklu to spare Talia.



Notes:

The mod is unvoiced. After careful consideration, I decided against using voice cloning or synthesizing due to the controversial attitudes toward such practices.
If you decide to join Talia after sparring with Kavar, there will be no reward from the Queen after completing the storyline — you did ransack her city, after all!
Some dialogue paths will require you to have neutral or light alignment to succeed. Force Persuasion requires you to have the "Dominate Mind" ability; otherwise, it will fail.



Bugs:

There is a known issue, possibly unrelated to this mod, where during the final fight against Vaklu, the General refuses to defend himself. Many players have reported this problem, which can interfere with the mod’s thematic elements. Unfortunately, I am unsure of the cause or how to fix it, so any help would be appreciated.
The Master of the Palace quest will still state Kavar died alongside Talia, even if your spared them on Vaklu's path. Will be fixed in the future.
