Valeero: deserter or hero?

[Domi]

I'm musing over Valeero's backstory: she left her assignment in Luskan to join PC. There are a few choices I can play with when Valeero meets NWN forces: she was betrayed by her acolyte and pronounced a deserter; she is hailed as a hero and allowed to stay with the PC as her assignment; depending on PC's alignment she is either hero or deserter; that last can be either direct (ie good PC - Valeero is a hero; evil PC - Valeero is a deserter) or inverse (ie good PC - Valeero is a deserter). Cheers.

I like the alignment based idea, as it is doubtful that the militia would understand why a supposedly good cleric of Lathander is working for a villainous PC.

Alignment is a good basis, but is there a way to track the way that quests are resolved? So if the player did things in a Ten-towns friendly manner (or can one just not help doing that?), that information could get back to the militia, and they consider that Valeero is a hero, still working for the towns. If the player took other paths, then she might be despised as a deserter.

I don't think there is a Reputatioin tracker in IWD2, but I can do a check for key characters being dead or alive by the end of Ch2 (ie Emma Moonblade, Kaitlin, Braston etc) + Globals that set Targos hostile to check if PC left a trail of bodies behind him.

Fascinating. I'd have to cast my vote behind Bigrob on this idea. It would make her story seem that much more dynamic.
