<p>One of the flaws of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (KotOR 2) I believe everyone, regardless of how much you like the game (or not), will agree on, is that the Handmaiden, real name Brianna, will only join your party if you play as a male Jedi Exile. The idea of a potential party member only joins you based on your player character's gender already makes little to no sense to begin with, and it does not help that Star Wars Legends, the old Star Wars Expanded Universe, established that both Brianna the Handmaiden and Mical the Disciple join the female Exile's crew.</p> <p>One of the flaws of <cite>Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords</cite> (<cite>KotOR 2</cite>) I believe everyone, regardless of how much you like the game (or not), will agree on, is that the Handmaiden, real name Brianna, will only join your party if you play as a male Jedi Exile.
