After 300 days my main char is an enemy

Garrin · 04-06-2002, 11:48 AM

Well, I'm sure this has been addressed before. After
much futile searching, I can't figgure out a way to get around this feature...is it possible? Is it supposed to happen?

Can anyone help me?

Garrin,

I'm no sure exactly what you me that your main character is "an enemy" - but I'll take a wild guess that you mean that townspeople are going hostile on him. If that's the case, then its likely that your reputation has fallen to a very low level. When that happens, townspeople and other will have a very low opinion of you and you won't be well received. Also, the town guards may attack on you sight.

If you have an earlier save game, check your rep and if its low, try reloading and make some substantial donations to the churches scattered about town. That will boost your rep up and avoid the problems.

Another possibility is that you have been casting magic in town and have been attacked by the cowled wizards. You can buy a "license" to cast magic at the government building.

Hi there, welcome to IronWorks.

But what exactly do you mean? Did your player character just turn hostile, or are you talking about that cutscene where he/she turns into the Slayer? That wierd-looking reddish-brown demon-like thing?

EDIT: Hmmm, talk about different interpretations of a few words...

Aha well,

He turns hostile and the group (if auto attack is flagged) start attacking.
What will happen is the day before 300 (or so) I'll have the party rest. When they awake, the main char is hostile. It dosen't matter where we rest. He's not turning into the Slayer...I loose control over him...he's got the little 'confused' (or dominated) icon in the picture.

It seems to me like there's a 300 day limit, and if you don't finish the game in that time, it gets finished for you

I don't recall ever taking more than 300 in-game days to finish, but that seems a bit unlikely to me. He got confused just like that, you say? Out of the blue? Hmmm, I've never heard of anything like that happening, maybe it's the result of some unfinished quest or so, that has a time limit. I don't think the game itself has a time limit.

Luvian · 04-06-2002, 12:09 PM

There is only one way to find out. Someone should go ingame and sleep 300 days.

Garrin · 04-06-2002, 12:14 PM

Ok, I just went in-game and checked a few things.

Fist off, the date is 296, 6th hour.
Anytime my party rests after that, the main character goes hostile and uncontrolable. He's not the slayer, at all, just my main char. I'm trying to do some charm person or somesuch on him, but it's not working because of spell resistances

The reason it took soo long was I had had a problem with obtaining the sphere for my mage. Spent alot of time resting, hoping for a certain NPC to appear. But there are not any open quests left (other than the one I'm on).
So I'm stumped.

Quite possible that there is time limit. Maybe its class related. Or maybe not. WHo know's, but i'm stumped.

J'aran · 04-06-2002, 12:27 PM

Well, I'm not quite stumped. At least, not yet.

What you could try is: unequip all his items, cast Remove Curse, Heal, Restoration and, just for the heck of it, Dispel Magic on him before resting.

Also, you could use ShadowKeeper to see if there's anything in your .cha-file that doesn't belong there, but I can't provide you with instructions for that though, we'll need someone with a more extensive knowledge of hacking the game files for that.

Third, it could be a bug. I don't know which patch(es) you have installed, but if you don't have the latest, you could try downloading and installing that.

Status report:

I can manage to gain control of him with Domination...but only temporarily. Remove Curse, Restoration, etc do nothing to prevent the lack of control once domination runs out.

I'm leary of using a character editor, but if all else fails, I suppose I'll have to.

The patches are up to date, it was the first thing I checked. :/
