The amazing invisible atton!

Ok I landed on the telos jedi academy, and it got to the movie where kreia and atton are locked up in force cages. Kreia was talking to atton and atton was replying, but atton was not there. Either atton is sum kind of magic man, or I just had another stupid glitch in the game. Has anyone else had this glitch before.

Yup. Had exactly the same thing a few weeks ago. Just weird. Nothing bad happened, though it looked a little weird. Didn't had it the first time though.

Just spawns in the wrong place, it happened to me and I found him outside the door up and alive, whereas he should be waking up I believe! Crazy but harmless that one

yeah... after they're all locked up it seems that THE Handmaiden has been fooling around with Atton as he has seemingly spawned a few paces away from her.

Whats cool is that you can talk to him when he's there without having to listen to Kreia's prattle.

Had that one too and when i rearranged my party he was suddenly there again. Perhaps it's an Echani side effect.

Sometimes Atton shows up in another room. He escaped from the prison and went to find you, and got beat down by the ice queens. That happened the very first time I played the game. It has not happened since. I am not sure what triggers it. Could very well be an obscure dialog option, but I do know it's supposed to happen.

The situation you describe is the result of Atton being on the floor of his cage, sitting down. He's outside the angle of the camera. I agree this could have been done better, but oh well.

Sorry, What Where When?

He was supposed to be outside of the room?
and whats with the camera angle thing?
What has him sitting in his cage got to do with being out of the room?
I am confused.

Because the sequence is done with live game animation (as opposed to a prerecorded video) sometimes odd things happen. Characters wind up in slightly different positions, etc. Well, what happens here is Atton is standing or sitting outside the viewing angle due to one of these quirks. In addition, there is a scripted game sequence where, after this, Atton shows up outside in the main reception area, after being beat down by the ice queens. This does not always happen. I believe it to be attached to a particular dialog sequence but I do not know for sure. Either way, you'll find him either in his cell or in the reception room.
