Assassin imported from SOA lost the x7 backstab multiplier

Post by chriscmore »

I imported my l23 assassin that had a very handy x7 multiplier into ToB, and it got knocked down to x5. I loaded the patch (which BioWare lists as addressing the "incorrect assassin backstab math"), didn't fix it. I tried to Shadow Keep fix it, couldn't fix it. I tried pocket plane and then return, didn't fix it. When I advanced to l24, it didn't get fixed.

Any suggestions?

I'm thinking of ShadowKeeping my strength up a point or two (now 18) to compensate...

Thanks in advance...

Cheers

What ToB installed when you're assassin had x7 backstab?
If not, try leveling him up one time
I do not have the touch, nor do I have the power.

You can fix this with ShadowKeeper. Open up both the SoA saved game (the one you imported from) and the ToB saved game. Make sure your character record is showing in both saved games (you see your character portrait). Now click on the affects tab for that character in both saved games. Scroll down the affects list in the SoA game and highlight effect 0x0107. Click on Copy. Now click anywhere in the affects list of the ToB game, and click Paste, twice (you need to add it two times). Save the ToB game - your assassin will have the X7 backstab back.

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.
