    Okay.. okay. I give.

    I also admit NEVER having used Detect Evil or Know Alignment in any game by any character!

    Those have to be two of the most useless spells I can think of in that I have completed every game I started without ever having used/needed them.

    Just my opinion... No offense intended or taken by anything said previously.

    Play a paladin sometime. Then you'll see the worth of those spells. (-:

    For the most part, no, they're not the best spells in the stack. They're very useful for settling arguments like "Is so-and-so evil," though. *grin*

    In general I do agree with the individualists here. Sure, there can be a good vampire, a good drow, and a good orc. Why not? There are evil elves, right?

    But it's not too hard to learn that Bodhi is not one such woman, any more than Phaere is. (-:

    Yep, detect evil is a useful spell/ability. Ever since first game of BG1 (how many years ago...2?)that I was a paladin, I found good uses for that ability.

    [​IMG] This spell s a very good way to spy on enemies on a specific map, it is more than likely that the big baddies WILL be evil and thus shown in the message box.

    just out of interest... did anyone NOT realise that bodhi and her lot were vampires? i always thought that it was funny the way the game hinted at it, ie; "hmm a large swimming pool of blood, how strange."

    Ever since I saw my first vampire (Ulvalyl), I had already known how they looked at what they could do. The hint on "I am already dead, thief" and the messages on level drain got me to the conclusion that she's a vampire at once...(Yup, I've been through games where you wouldn't know a vampire from a dancing banana mascot)

    But back to the other topic, In a game where elves can fly, humans can cast magic, thousands of dimensions exist and where arcane lore is infinite... yes, some vampires are good. You could say they had their hunger for blood healed somewhere, but couldn't get the vampirism reversed.
