I'm far more worried about the differentiation between companions than I am balance implications, though balance isn't an entirely irrelevant factor. My main concern is making sure that some companions do have access to talents which are unique, and keeping Crush & Enlightenment wholly locked to the Exile is critical for me. I would be okay with being able to train Atton with Precognition, as his Echani training does make him predisposed to already having some basic understanding of it, as well as the Disciple actually (since Kreia praises him so much for his insight), but nobody else.

I'm not strongly wedded to training Precog, Crush, Enlightenment, though I think you are overestimating their power in the hands of companions (mostly for precog). Due to the distribution of equipment, and lack of the player crystal, followers are unlikely to get the obscenely high simultaneous Dex and Wis values that the player can get to. I think you are really overhyping Handmaiden's shock as well. "{A little confused}You are already doing it. " "If you do not know you are doing it, then training will make you a dangerous opponent indeed. " "Perhaps it is your connection to the Force that allows such things, but I do not think so. " There isn't anything in the dialogue or in the power description that implies Battle Precog is a super unique trait. Maybe not one possessed by all Jedi, but I don't see why combatants in a war wouldn't have it. You could make a strong argument for Atton having access to it flavourwise, and arguments could certainly be made for Bao-dur and Visas as well. Enlightenment is strong, but largely a late game convenience option. Crush may be too powerful though. They also aren't available normally anyway, another mod would have to give the player access to them before the Enclave.

v1.2.4 of the project has been released on GitHub in the releases section. https://github.com/Thor110/Expanded-Galaxy-Main Main Patch Notes - Quite a number of changes, all relatively small. Port Patch Notes - A lot of changes and the inclusion of a custom launcher which I have been holding back for a while now. Brotherhood Patch Notes - Not many changes, this is just a release to keep it in line with the other parts of the project, this still remains largely a proof of concept that porting other mods is fairly easy and requires little work. It's worth noting that Brotherhood still isn't fully tested. I have been holding back this latest release for a little while now, it's still far from perfect but the new launcher makes things a little more fancy!   Also, a reminder, that my current goal is to finalise the creation of this foundational framework for expanding the games before adding in new content. My next step is to finish writing the Save Importer and Save Converter into the launcher, which will allow users to import saves from KotOR1 to use in the port and import completed game saves from KotOR1 to effect the choices you can make in KotOR2. From there I can finally begin to think about laying out the additional content for the new worlds in both games. As well as creating an overhaul portion of the project that updates the games visuals, models and textures.   Extra Notes :   Thor110

I'd really like to know why I don't get notifications of responses sometimes... This I have no problems with. Here I have some issues though. Like you get annoyed when the game gives level-up powers for free, I get annoyed when the game gives you something pointless for free--Affect Mind and Dominate Mind are insulting to me simply because it's a waste of time for them to be given when they do nothing. I'm not so wedded to getting rid of them that I'd rage if they were kept in, but I would certainly prefer removing them. Force Sight, Breath Control and Beast Trick are fine. Battle Precognition, Crush and Enlightenment are a no-go for me, though--there need to be things that keep the companions (and the player) feeling unique. Force Sight is shown to be relatively easy to teach, but Battle Precognition is something that the Echani train their entire lives on and is simply not easy to pick up in a short period, which is precisely why the Handmaiden is so incredulous when she realizes the Exile is doing it subconsciously. As for Crush and Enlightenment, they are far too overpowered, them being unique to the Exile aside; giving them out to companions would just make the balance even worse for, IMO, no benefit in terms of flavor.

Realistically that would be up to the user who gave it to you to post it then, otherwise you'd have to consult with everyone, I would make the same argument but for the sake of simplicity I said no as I presumed using a modded APK would require the OBB files to be released with them. Perhaps find the origin of the file and go from there.
