Whilst in the thieves maze I happen to stumble on Winksi Perforate (or whatever he's called). Since he's an evil mage and dying anyway Jaheira decided to put him out of his misery by perforating him a bit more (geddit?). I was hoping for some exp and useful loot - instead I lose 10 reputation points!! That seems way over the top to me - after all he is a baddie.

It's Winski Perorate IIRC. And I find it very agitating that you cannot kill him without suffering a rep loss. It seems that now, after Sarevok discarded him, he isn't evil anymore (must have been Sarevok's influence [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] ).

What alignment is he anyway? Also why should your rep drop when there is no-one there to see you do it?

This is probably the stupidest Reputation problem is the whole damn game. I've never done a Detect Evil to determine his alignment, but Winski Peorate is a known accomplice of a known homicidal despot. And, if you do kill him, there's not a single witness present. What the hell gives?

On the bright side, by the time you enter the Thieves' Maze, Reputation is now utterly worthless to you (unless you're a Paladin, a Ranger, or need to keep Good & Neutral people in the party).

He is considered to be an innocent. And you get no XP for killing him.

yeh I just came across that too (as I finished the game again yesterday). its a pretty gay penalty, and I reloaded for the principle of the matter, but i guess it wouldnt have mattered either way for me

There are always the gods to witness your evil deeds ;) . As long as the priests are able to listen - they will know too.

I totally agree. You won't believe what happened to me. I killed some innocent commoners on the street of Baldur's Gate and I lost my reputation. Now it's 1, and I'm a fallen paladin. Is this some kind of bug or what??? :D
