The thing is, the only things different is the quests you will have to do in order to advance onto the assault upon the crypt. It will still end up the same ending as the Shadow Thieves; An attack upon the vampyrs.

Would you want to make a new ending for another group? I mean, you wouldnt want to do the same again would you?

Shadow Thieves - Assault the Vampyr Crypts
The Vampyr Guild - Assault the Shadow Thieves HQ
New Group - Assault New Target

Kestrel,

I've never played the Bodhi path, but it seems to me that it is critical to the main plot to have Bodhi involved in this part of the story, either by siding with her or against her. If you have no knowledge of her, it may greatly change the nature of the initial encounter with the elves after you return from the Underdark. You wouldn't have the same intuitive knowledge that Bodhi was probably in possession of the Lanthorn.

Oh, I suppose that one could include info on the Lanthorn into one of Irenicus' diary scrolls. But what if you haven't picked up that scroll?


Yes, I suppose that it's entirely possible to come up with different groups that might willingly get you out to Brynnlaw in exchange for some service. But trying to avoid including Bodhi in that story messes with BG2's base plotline.
