If you already have enough influence to make bao dur gray or dark you can't tell those guys to jump down the center pit and he'll say "that was a good thing, I'm glad to see that kindness still exists in the Galaxy" or something like that, I just did it a couple days ago.

If you want to give Bao-Dur 2 weapon fighting, you can simply choose the dialogue option “I want to teach you some fighting techniques” (or something along those lines) on the Ebon Hawk!

There isn't much point to giving Bao Dur a lot of influence in the vanilla game, but I still did it because I wanna let him know his help is appreciated, especially when he helped me get a lot more money for the Atmospheric Sensors and helped me build my swank-ass Lightsaber!

I played years ago and if you're dark side you can still convert Bao with negative influence. 3 or 4 bouts of negative influence will have the same effect (conversion to jedi) as positive influence. Bao converts and gains a dark side alignment.

Last run through I had Bao-Dur and Kreia in my party, and I was experimenting with different options, and I got influence with him.

Great advice as usual my dude Gaming your Way and KOTOR 1&2 I love it and am always here for it !

Hardest part of Bao-dur is trying to gain influence with him as a dark sider, it is possible, but he is a bit of a goodie two shoes so you will have to take some light side hits.

That last point for gaining influence I never really tried before. Might have to try that one next time I play kotor 2.

I always saw Bao-Dur as one of my favorite characters.
If you level him to 10 and then the rest as a guardian.
I'm able to heal him like the rest of the party...I dont know I really like the character.

Yes general

I have done all bao dur influence gains except for the hydrospanner and onderon riot incident and he still wont become a jedi. I can seemingly only ask him for shields

If you use the character crystal resonance shard Mod. Give that to Bao-Dur and he can have the force power buffs through ForceChain even when wearing restrictive armor.
