Well. SixOfSpades, most what you said is true. Only not the part about gorion.

2 easy ways to kill him. First one, in single player, make sure you have some monster summoning spells ready, or the staff would be better. Summon some monsters and kill some random people. You do this till everyone in candlekeep will turn hostile(If you dont do this the first bolt will kill you). Now, you go towards gorion with your monsters. Summone some more, and if aviable. protection from fear. Let your beasties walk in front. Now the lighting bolt that he vast will not go to main PC, but to the first in his line of sight. Now, just summon newmonsters when your old ones are dead. He will kill himself, cuase the lighting bolts bounce on walls and stuff. If not, dont waste your spells on him, then your just dead.

Second way, multiplayer, much more easier then the single player option, but again. you need alot of monsters. Just like before, let them attack first, then add your fighters or paladins bythem. Now he will first every beast he saw, and then you. So you have to kill him before that. Let your rangers (if any) pummle him with arrows. Your thief can try to backstab him. Cleric and driuds are only usefull for aiding spells and monster summoning. Mages are useless (wand of monster summoning could be usefull though)
Every bolt he fires at your friends are also instant deaths, if I recall correctly.

summoned monsters(archer types) can disrupt him very easily.

<font color="cyan">But whats the point?

You're all cheating to do this anyway....If you did it in SP no cheats, then yeah, id be impressed...but... [img]graemlins/bricks.gif[/img] </font>

Mainly, I'm just curious. For me it's just an experiment to see how the game runs if you start it that way. Just another variation on how to play the game to try to keep things interesting.

But this is my guess:

You cant get out of Candlekeep, as Gorion is dead.

If you use the move area cheat, the game would run as normal.</font>

So, I killed Gorion- very anticlimactic. I had been importing a .chr file over and over to test it out before I convert it to a .cre file to make an NPC and got bored and decided to try this. It really wasn't too exciting, all things considered, though.

And, Lavinda? Chill out a little on the 'cheating' thing. This is just experimentation. Obviously, the game doesn't continue correctly unless you then use the QA console to move to the next area. And, the state file doesn't remember that you killed Gorion or any other actions such as that while in the prologue. It's just a matter of people being bored and messing around. I don't think people are 'bragging' about this- it is sharing information about a curiosity.

While using Near Infinity, I noted that Thethoril has an AC of -20 and his save vs. numbers are all 1 and his resistence is listed as 100% for everything. His lore, however, is only 10! I think he's just a figure head. Where's the real Thethoril? Maybe he was kidnapped.

Hmmm.....I must indeed have a different version. Then again, I never did really play with using summons on him, even in my Evil game. Oh, well....
