I swear I've tried putting it in the party inventory and it didn't help, but I'll try it again when I get home.

thanks

well, the other lady wasn't pissed at me when I first entered the town, so I must've done something to piss her off. I've been going over everything I done, and I might've figured it out. when I explored the HLL building there were a group of guards patrolling the halls. they went down the right hall (towards the commander) so I went left (thinking I was being sneaky) and got the stuff out of the lockers. as I was leaving the locker room the guards came around the corner and I thought I was going to get surprised so I hit the combat button and proceeded to kill them. it now occurs to me that they might not have been hostile. was I not supposed to kill them?<hr></blockquote>

Nope. You were not. Once you get into the HLL building, you can loot those lockers to your heart's content, and nobody will do anything. it's sort-of like a Bee colony. It's hard to get in, but once you are inside, everyone just assumes you belong there, and you can do whatever you please as long as you don't attack anyone.

not the party inventory.

a chest in a room, off your person.

make sure you have talked to Tramain, too.

Maybe they are mad because you killed their guards.

No, the guards are not hostile. You can take everything in the locker. Lol, you killed off the police!

Maybe if you go to the tower and kill the mechanical guard, floating eye thing it will get better? Have you done that yet?

If you killed Elvis (HLL Guards) in the HLL building, you are screwed. Take a look at your faction rating in your journal with the Higardi. I bet they are none to happy with you. You also probably got a message when you killed one of the HLL guys stating your faction rating with XXX has dropped. The only solution I see is for you to load a save game prior to this nasty incident.

As for Marten's Badge, I have had zero problem carrying it my party inventory. Everyone in town still talks to me and I only got the one weird look when I talked to Tramain.

Hope this helps.

It had to be kiling the guards.
I still have the badge in my party's inventory and I get no hassles.

I don't know how you guys did that, but even after I used it, I tried getting rid of Marten's ID and I got a message of "On second thought, you decide you may need that" and it wouldn't let me drop it.

I quit doing it after that and just hauled it around in my party's inventory for the rest of the game. Never had a problem with the Higardi.

Saz,
You can click on it in your inventory screen, click on the arrow to exit the inventory screen and put it in a chest.
:D

You can do this with all the stuff the game will not allow you to just drop as far as I know.

Except apparently Vi's accursed Mace... :rolleyes: I can get rid of it if I persist, and uickly give it to another member and then eventually drop it or whatever... But then, aside from having to listen to Vi go through her "dont touch that" bit over and over... and over again to ad nauseum, I wonder if maybe there's some special reason why she wants it so bad, that instead of keeping it just to annoy the player and take up a precious item slot, there might actually be some use for it later on... How, if I might ask, did you handle this?

I think it has to be the guards as well. No one has ever said anything about the ID to me other than the guy that says that it won't make you popular. I think that is just 'fluff'. However killing guards... nothing fluff about that.
