You'd think HK-47 with his emphasis on function and not wanton slaughter would aprove of cunning. Or maybe that's another reason why Telos factory level was cut. Maybe it was due to dissonance between the HK's character in the rest of the game.
When does this happened in the game? Does this take place after helping that ill guy in the refugee sector who thinks he has the plague? I always cure him to get light side points
yeah basically you can ask him to kill himself instead to prevent spreading the disease. Doing this and then causing the mother to sell herself to be with her daughter is the fastest (but obviously dark sided) way to break the spirit of the leader of the refugees and thus grab attention of the exchange, leading to the end game of nar shaddaa in mere minutes. Oh and another cunning praise will happen if you talk to the leader of the refugees to give up and trigger the end game of nar shaddaa. fun fact: doing this on a light sided play through (tho honestly at this point it'd be more neutral light side come to think about it because it's not light sided to ever tell people to kill themselves) will still lead to having Mira and not killing ol' Zez the Master there, but Zez will be pissed at you initially and lie he will chase after Mira, but not actually do it like on a DS playthrough and will quickly forgive you, as if the game isn't programmed properly to smoothly handle a light sided character doing such a horrible thing. Source is I recently played the game again and saw it happen myself with TSLRCM lmao.
