how do i trigger Canderous's sidequest? is it the same guy as Jahuni's?

Has anyone avoid the hunting hofge until you brought HK-47?

Is it worth it to take Bastila to Manaan?

Answer 1: Simply talk to Canderous enough times, ask him about his past, and so on. The quest should eventually be triggered. And no, I don't recall anything about Canderous' and Juhani's sidequests being related.

Answer 2: I'm not sure what you mean by this question.

Answer 3: To be frank, I don't think it's worth it to take yourself to Manaan in the first place. But since you have to go there eventually, then yes. Bastila is arguably among the three most powerful party members available, so having her escort you around could be mandatory, depending on the difficulty level.

Has anyone avoid the hunting hofge until you brought HK-47?

Lovely grammar you've got there. Do you mean, "Does anyone avoid the hunting lodge until you've bought HK-47"? "Has anyone avoided the hunting lodge until you bought HK-47?"...

is it the same guy as Jahuni's?
Nope. Juhani's quest-guy is a Twi-lek. Canderous's an humna, ex-mandalorian. And the quests aren't related.

Canderous's an humna, ex-mandalorian.
Where do you find this guy? I think I may have missed him during my play-through; I thought you just talked to Canderous himself and that was it....

Lovely grammar you've got there. Do you mean, "Does anyone avoid the hunting lodge until you've bought HK-47"? "Has anyone avoided the hunting lodge until you bought HK-47?"...

oops my bad i should double checked:P

i meant have you ever gotten HK-47 before going into the hodge. if you take him in there talk to Gurke the exchange is pretty funny. If you go down the DS choices Gurke calls you a meatbag. I cann't remember if it was just on DS.
