Capt Massacre Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi, If that's the correct place to put it, here's a request: In BG1, at Beregost, at Feldepost's inn, the first time you come in, there's a guy 'Marl' who provokes you. If you're smart, you can talk him out of the fight and get 900 (ch)easy xp. But if there's a fight, he's very good, but unarmed, he can only knock you out, never kill. But you can. I think you should lose 1 reputation point for killing an unarmed man, no matter how bothersome he was. (Of course, the same goes for Noober.) Link to comment
Creepin Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Afair Marls starts fight first, without being provoked. It's self-defence for a party, so there's no reason for reputation loss in this case. Link to comment
Dakk Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Afair Marls starts fight first, without being provoked. It's self-defence for a party, so there's no reason for reputation loss in this case. Correct. The only change to that encounter (by Fixpack?) is that if you kill Marl after a friendly resolution you get a rep. hit. Which is as it should be. Link to comment
Capt Massacre Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Really, I'm disappointed by this kind of answers. Another reasonable request I made (removing cheesy immunity to level drain from berserkers) was totally ignored too. You leave me no choice but to 'mod' myself to get what I want, and that's what I'm gonna do! Link to comment

And even if it is, by your arbitration, should tweakpackers volunteer to make the change for you? Nay I say - if you want rep loss for fighting an defensive battle, mod it yourself. Link to comment
Lollorian Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Well, afaict, Marl's encounter is unavoidable, so wouldn't your idea mean an unavoidable rep loss?? (unless you for some reason decided to avoid Feldepost's entirely ... bye bye charisma cloak ) Might I suggest (if you do make a mod out of it) that you implement some sort of option to avoid the fight. I think some mod already adds an option (BG1NPC??) but I didn't get it in my last playthrough, probably cause of a high charisma requirement or somesuch Link to comment
Dakk Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just AFAIK the encounter has always been avoidable... Get four (4) consecutive answers right and he'll be all weepy and apologetic. Link to comment
Lollorian Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 What the ..? I seriously have no clue why I posted like that (and to think I usually follow DanS' walkthough!) Point taken though. Thanks! Link to comment
berelinde Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Well, Lollorian, you're party right. If you have BG1 NPC installed and have Montaron in the party when you encounter Marl, Montaron will pick a fight with him. Don't remember if you get a reputation hit if that happens. Link to comment
Lollorian Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Woah! That's exactly what's been happening! (another kudos to the BG1NPC team ) Link to comment
