how can you NOT like Saemon? sure, he's a low-down, double-crossing, self-absorbed good-for-nothing scoundrel, but so is Han Solo, and everybody loves him! he even makes it up to you in the end, provided you were forgiving and didn't kill him. the more i think about it, the more i realize he IS like Han Solo. (minus the Mauser made into a blaster, of course) it's people like Saemon that make BGII a great experience; because he's a real person, not some cardboard bad guy like Irenicus.
As for you, Telchar of Nogrod, you have betrayed the eternal Roleplaying Perspective, and thus the entire idea of Baldur's Gate! Hang your head in shame! Paladins are forgiving above all else, and do not believe in revenge! I hope your memory is erased and an ogre mage uses your cds to clean up his cow dung! All false and evil acts catch up to you, ESPECIALLY when you cross the Roleplaying Perspective!
(kinda scary, huh?
