Of course the status could all change (except for the dead characters) during the course of the game.

to the DS allignment: apprenticeship to the Sith Lord seems too big to be thrown into right at the beginning. my suggestion (as i stated in another thread) is that you start as apprentice to the Sith Master of an enclave of a sith planet (a.k.a. you're Uthar's Yuthura on Korriban)

to LS allignment: all characters alive is a maybe. if you're going back to KotOR 1 as well, then Juhani (as much as i want her dead without the dark side points) is kind of iffy. it depends on whether or not you managed to persuade her. also ties into DS by how if you went Sith Lord or Savior in 1. If you went as Sith Lord, it obviously doesn't matter, since Juhani would be dead whether you redeemed her or not. As a Savior though, it's a bit circumstantial.

long explanations to the problem, but really only 1 problem for each. overall, you've got a good idea. it's actually what i was thinking (mostly) to be honest.
