Giving the Sword of chaos +2 to Savevok HELP!!!

Daniel · 01-24-2002, 09:23 PM

Im kind of new to forums so I hope this works.

I was recently playing SOA again and I had the thought "what would happen If I equiped the Sword Of Choas +2 on Sarevok", so I kept the sword in my Inventory until TOB and gave it to him when he joined my party and somthing strange happened. As soon as I left his inventory screen he initiated dialogue with me but there was no Text, when I ended the conversation It said I had gained a new Item so I checked him inventory and his sword had been changed but right clicking on the weapon brings up a blank screen instead of a description.

Does anyone know what the dialogue with Sarevok Says and what the stats for the weapon are? and why can I not see Them is it a bug with the game?

Any help would be appreciated

Yes sword is a plain two handed sword with no description although when you hit with it it drains 3 HP instead of 1 this is the only difference I can notice Cya.

P.S I wonder if it might be somthing to do with assension I've recently installed it.

P.P.S Thanx for the help anyway.

That may have something to do with it - it shouldn't, but who knows.

Since it's got a whole bunch of new dialogue, Ascension comes with a new dialog.tlk file (which is where all text in the game is stored, including item descriptions). So if you've got mods installed that have modified or replaced your dialog.tlk files funny things can happen. Try uninstalling it and seeing what happens.

This is what you should have seen as a description:

Sarevok's Sword of Chaos
The blade of Sarevok, brother of , used in the battle they fought in faraway Baldur's Gate. prevailed, destroying Sarevok's plans and rescuing the Sword Coast from the brink of war. Now Sarevok has joined with 's cause and his blade has been restored to him. Sarevok describes the weapon as a Deathbringer blade and has restored some of the weapon's old power. Without his Bhaalspawn essence to channel through the sword, however, it cannot achieve the power it once had. Still, however, it is a formidable weapon...and one that Sarevok warns would become increasingly difficult to wield in the hands of one who was not a Deathbringer, if they could use it at all.

STATISTICS:

Abilities: each hit drains one to five hit points from the target and transfers it to the wielder. This will not heal beyond the wielder's maximum.

The blade also grants +10% Magic Resistance while wielded.

Right, cuz that has never happened to me. Sarevok joined me and I gave him his sword and nothing happened.
Strange.

I always wondered if you equipped every "item of Balduran" on a character if anything Diablo like ever happpens. Getting a complete set would give you extra abilities than the sum of each separate part??? Dunno. Anybody?

TIA

Not AFAIK, but I've tossed around the idea of creating a custom weapon set that does just that.
