Having some troubles here

Post by fatcow15 »

Ok, I have Korgan on my time, and he is chaotic evil. My reputation is sky rocketing, and he doesnt like it (its 18). I want him to stay because he's a really good NPC, don't you think, better than Mazzy is. So how do i lower my reputation without having to kill someone. For those evil parties, how do you manage to keep your reputation low.

Find a store you don't use to by stuff from and steal from it and get caught. Don't kill no one there. The best way is to send one person in to do this. REMEMBER once you do this you can not buy nothing else there.

Another option is (the one that I use), if you haven't done the D'Arnise hold quest, then when you do be mean to Daleson, (tell him to start running etc.), you will lose 4 rep. pts.

Mazzy is also the best in the game with shortbows. I'd keep her around.

I guess it depends on the alignment of your character. If you're evil, keep Korgan. If you're good, keep Mazzy. If neutral, well.. your pick.

Whats the problem? You have a chaotic evil fighter in your party but you don't want to kill anyone. You need to decide which side of the fence your on. Just go ahead and kill someone. You lose 4 rep. points and it will make Korgan happy. Kill a beggar no one else will even care.

Killing an innocent civilian at rep 18+ will lower it by 9 points, not 4 ...

Anyway, I agree with Hex92, you need to decide what side of the fence you are on. Either you are good, and therefore should hate having Korgan around. Or you are evil, and then what do you care about the life of a few civilians? Just kill them in an uncrowded area ...

Toughest is when you're neutral. Indeed, in that case, best thing you can do is steal and get caught red handed (don't kill the merchant, and don't expect to ever buy from him again), or turn into the Slayer. Either of these will permanently drop your reputation by 2.

A temporary solution is to take Viconia in your party if you haven't already. Taking her in drops your reputation by 2 points as well. Note however, that kicking her out again will GAIN you those 2 points again.

Mazzy is a great fighter, as is Korgan. The fact that he doesn't stop hitting on her (even tries some poetry) makes it even more fun to have them both in your party. What's your problem with killing people? You don't have to do it - just imagine Korgan getting angry while alone in some shop or bar or whatever. Actually, I could even imagine a good character having Korgan around - "At least he won't do as much harm while with me". Also, can a paladin like Keldorn accept him (and even complement him), why shouldn't your character? Just another way to see things...

i agree that you should decide how you want to play, if you want to be good and have a high reputation then kick korgan out and get Mazzy, if you dont then kill some one or be nasty from now on, one way is to swindle the mayor of the umar hill out of all his money, MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I did this when i played as an evil barbarian.

Pick some locks in poulated rooms - the gaurds will be called. After running off you should lose one point of rep for beeing seen.

If you are in the Drow Traven Chapter 5, go upstairs and pay 100gp.

It will lower your reputation by 1 and you can pay as much as you want.

I think its better for you to see what you get when you pay, but its funny if you ask me. Image
