Is there any way of telling Torin what happened to his father?

Nope. One of the "downfalls" of the game...NPC's never recognize when you've finished a major quest. To be crude, it's like peeing in a dark pair of pants...gives you a warm feeling, but nobody notices much. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

I feel it is my duty to warn you that people can sometimes smell what they cannot see.

No, you can't really tell him what happened to his father. However, you can reunite him with his father... he will be immensely grateful and he will "give" you a magnificient bow should you succeed. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
