Poor Torin

[rodizi]

I was just wondering, poor Torin just stands around outside Erathsmedor's cave trying to shoot him down because he thinks his dad was killed by him, not knowing that all along, his dad died a valiant death trying to escape from the Boogre prison. Is there any way to set him straight? I tried going back to him to free him from his delusion but he refuses to understand that he's wrong and tells me I'm talking nonsense. Is he a lost cause?

Alas, no!

There have been many players that have wanted to do that exact same thing, really bring a quest to a close, but the game isn't set up to handle it. They may have originally planned to make this possible but since the game was rushed to market and a number of plans were abandoned, we'll never know for certain what the game would have been like if it had been completed as originally planned.

Torin is a classic example of the "passive agreesion syndrome". He spends all his days with a friendly smile and curteous maners only to suddenly erupt in horrible violence, like running around killing harmless dragons or walking salad bowls LOL!

Just for fun, we did kill off poor Torin to put him out of his misery (and to get his enchanted bow); he wasn't much of a samurai. He got scared after the first blow! Needless to say, it was so pathetic that I reloaded, sparing him his virtual life. How sad (although I don't know what's sadder, his reaction to being struck or the fact that I'm empathetic to an NPC). LOL!

I considered killing him when he wouldn't take my dragon arrow. Was the enchanted bow worth killing him for. His stupidity has had me annoyed with him a couple of times now & I could possibly be talked into murder if it payed well enough.

[rodizi]

Well, he certainly doesn't put up a fight and he doesn't play a role anywhere else. I say, go for it!

Torin's bow is Enchant + 1, Hit + 3. It can not be blessed or enchanted. The only reason I keep it is to make arrows.(BTW..The last Quiver of 50, sold for 102,456,250)

The only reason I have it, is because he was a victim of 'Friendly Fire'.

After finishing Cet, in my first 'Fast Track' game. I decided to take a victory lap around the Gael Serran. When I got to the ramp ledge of Dragon Spire, every beast in the mid-lands was waiting there for me.
So my Valkyrie cast 'Firestorm', 'Icestorm', 'Meteorstorm' and so on. Everything was screaming, the mantraps were passing that nasty gas, and the worgurs were growling in pain.
When everything was dead, I went down to pick through the treasures they had droped. ( in other words I picked through their droppings) As I was rumaging, I spotted something shiney and long, on the ground.
"Hmmm, that looks interesting. I wonder what it is?" ..."It's a Bow, I wonder who......Ooops, sorry Torin." I wasn't going to give up all those points, just because he was fool enough to stand in the middle of a battle field. Besides, how did I know it wasn't those mean old mantraps, that did him in?

Now every time I see him, he says
"Hello again, friends..."
"Have you learned any more, since the last time we talked..."
"Please, tell me..."
and I think to myself...Stay away from mantraps, Torin.....They Will ...hunt...you...down...

And no matter how many times you rudely leave while he's in mid sentence, "Sayonara". Poor guy.

LOL Packrat --

The slogan for W&WII should be "They... will... hunt... you... down..."
