Ctrl-K weirdness

Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs · 07-05-2002, 01:55 PM

Many of you know how to use Ctrl-Q to add members to your party. However, the opposite of Ctrl-Q is Ctrl-K, which ususally only is a time-saver to use instead of the Records screen. Simple, huh?

Well, not really. You can actually kick your main character out of the party. You then have no main character, and can use a party of 6 NPCs. I'm not sure what this does to the game except for short periods of time. What happens when the game makes a [CHARNAME] or [PRO_HIMHER] reference? what happens in dream sequences? if these questions are answered and there turn out to be no problems, i will play my next party with no PC. fun, huh?

I got an idea for roleplay if it works. After rescuing Imoen, the usual PC decides he/she has had enough and decides to go somewhere secluded and hide.

Imoen becomes the main character now, in a quest to save her soul.

Man, that IS weird. And once you've booted yourself, can you recruit yourself again? Funky.

Very peculiar. If you boot yourself out of your own party, that means that you can't die, right? And if you can't die, you can't lose. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, in theory, couldn't you die if all the party members died, cuz u can't do anything if that happens.

You can't win either... That and the fact your game will probably crash in no time.
