Can't send Nalia home from Spellhold *Spoilers*

Post by Majorman »

My patience (and persistence) were finally rewarded as I made my way to Spellhold. Well... almost. I had Imoen join the party, but I had to dump someone. Apparently, that was Nalia, since she is much like an Imoen-clone (even stats-wise). But now I can't send her home! Whenever I kick her out of my party, she says that she'll wait for me just where I left her (I can not send her to the Copper Coronet)! And, what is even worse, she is left at the lowest dungeon level in Spellhold. Now, from a role-playing point I can not leave her in that awful place. After all, she's helped me a lot to get to Imoen and, as a paladin, I'll never forgive myself leaving her in imprisoned. So, what should I do? Should I use CLUA Commands to teleport her to the Coronet (I hope there are other options)? Should I return to my old savegame waaay back when I arrived to Brynnlaw and drop her (though leaving her in a town ruled by pirates and pimps sounds pretty bad eitheir)?

P.S. And speaking about Imoen, should I use an editor to raise her XPs? She's almost one million XPs behind, but I don't want to dump her because of roleplaying reasons (yeah, I aligned with thieves and murderers just to find her and now when I know she's my sister with drained soul there's no way I'm leaving her behind), but I'm also reluctant to cheat.

Well, leaving Nalia in Brynnlaw is better than leaving her in Spellhold (for some reasons yet unknown to you...maybe).

As for Imoen's 1,000,000 xp deficit... 1,000,000xp isn't a whole lot in the grand scheme of things...

Imoen is supposed to be behind in XP. After all, while she was being tortured you were out fighting monsters and stuff.

Leave Nalia there. She sucks anyway.

OK, Nalia isn't exactly my favourite NPC either, because I dislike her personality. However, the OP did say he is role-playing a paladin..... so I don't think that is an option ;)

Personally, I'd go back to my Brynnlaw save. Once you've went through that section and you know the quest paths, it won't really take that long to redo. If, as a paladin, you are worried about her welfare, just make sure she has everything she needs in her inventory so that she can fend off pirates and the like.

Restarting is a valid Paladin option?

I know leaving Nalia isn't the perfect rp option, but neither is sending Imoen away. The fact that the game allows only Imoen to return home (which is basically impossible) shouldn't be a factor. I look at it this way: You HAVE to leave one there... who do you choose?

If you don't want to choose one, you can always leave them both just to be fair :)
The problem is that the people with the most ridiculous ideas are always the people who are most certain of them.
