well i actually had a question about it, thats why i posted... i was trying to figure out what to do with the key. i remember in the guidelines it said not to post a new post if there is already a thread dealing with what i was after , so i searched for ' odd looking key ' and this is the only thread that came up. there was info, but not quite an answer , so i posted a reply instead of a duplicate post. really just wanted to know what to do with the key, you say it was incorporated with tactics... i can assume that means it still doesnt unlock anything, but thats really just an assumption... so there is still someone who wants to know... and its me, thats the only reason for my post.

It's alright, BlackPeter. If the subject of your question hasn't been dealt with for a long time, you can safely post a new thread.

You won't be able to find what the Odd Looking Key unlocks because you've already used it. You mentioned the treasure the the Vampires and Efreeti were guarding? That container cannot be opened (with Improved North Forest installed) without the key carried by the followers of Cyric on the same map.

Question: once a thread has been "necromanced" so to speak, is it wrong to continue posting in it? The only reason is, Ive always wondered what on earth the purpose of the "broken sword" or whatever it is that one of Illyich's chronies is carrying is. Can anyone answer these two Q's?

Thanks in advance [img]smile.gif[/img]

The broken sword is a relic of the iron shortage in the Baldur's Gate region... your first major mission in BG1 is to solve the iron crisis. Basically, the iron was tainted, so swords, armor, whatever was always breaking... hence the broken sword. Really annoying to have your only sword break in the middle of a fight with Kobolds (once upon a time, they were a formidible enemy[sort of]).

Thanks lancer.....

Does anyone know about the thread necromancy question I posted earlier?

well if i understand it right, it's not ok to continue posting. if its a old thread , i guess i was supposed to just make a new one.
this act of ressurecting someones year old question is unholy and i'll make sure not to do it again. thanks though folks for understanding and answering.
