Is it worth resurrecting Valygar?

    AFAIK, speaking to some one special in Waukeen's promenade with Viccy can prove to be disastrous. But I do not know about Government District. Can you give us some hints, The Shaman?

    Who would Viconia have to speak to in Waukeen's Promenade to get this reaction?

    And I had to resurrect Valygar again after he got killed in the fight with Balor in the Underdark.

    I'm not sure it's happened in my games, but iirc it was the "golddigger" female NPC around the center of the district - she has a name, but I don't remember what it was. She's the one that hints to Keldorn he might be cuckolded, and that has a word or two with Nalia if you have her in the party. She was somewhere in the lower terraces, if I remember correctly - the same one on which the Firecam estate is.

    Okay, let me say this again. Valygar will come to blows with NOONE in an unmodded game. He doesn't like Edwin or Viconia, and one of the Valygar-Edwin banters sounds like there's going to be a fight, but nothing happens.

    Regarding Viconia and Waukeen's Promenade, there's an elf-hater named Elmin Bergas (or something like that) near the northwest exit. If you speak with him with Viconia in your party, he goes berserk. And then if you kill him, your rep drops as if you'd killed an innocent because that's what he's flagged as. There are naturally ways around it, like letting the nearby guard take care of him, but it's better to leave him alone unless you really fancy getting rid of the racist pr*ck.

    Funny. I killed the guy because he attacked Viconia, and nothing happened to my reputation. I did have many mods at that time, but still, none of the readme files stated anything about that part of the game.

    I think Baldurdash removes the Innocent flag from the guy, which might explain why your rep didn't drop.

    There's no fix I can find in Baldurdash concerning Belmin Gergas, the elf hater.

    I remember the Waukeen guy now. When he turned red, the guard went after him and I let the guard get in the first shot before going in for the kill. I had no rep penalty, but I didn't have any Baldurdash fix, so I can only assume that it was either my trying to calm the racist down or letting the guard hit him first that allowed me to kill him without penalty.

    Interesting observation about letting the guard get started first. I generally just avoid this guy, or let the guards do the dirty work, as I generally play good parties and don't want to risk the reputation hit... not to mention having guards and merchants go hostile on me.

    Hmm, I always ended up with a Rep hit from killing him.
