Reptation?

Post by Michthom43 »

Just started playing Icewind Dale I. And I have a question. Somehow, after killing the head gal (snake lady X... something) and coming back into Kuldahar (where there were these cat-like monsters) some townspeople got killed. Now my reputation is down the tubes, and all the townspeople want to attack me.

How do I raise my reputation? I read in the manual that you can go to a temple and donate gold. However the people in the temple want to attack me also.

Do I have to load a previous version of the game and re-kill the snake gal, then come back into town and make sure no townies are killed in the skirmish, or can I do something else. Unfortunately I had already saved the game before I realised what had happened...

Thanks!

What's not clear from your remarks is whether your party actually killed the townspeople. If they did, then I'd suggest you go back to s a saved game before that battle. Of course, I've never trained to wait them out in another area, sleeping for a week or a month to see if memory of the event fades.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

That's the problem - I didn't think that my party had killed any townspeople, but everyone was fighting those cat things and the townspeople were all around. I must have if they are all against me now right?

Damn - and it took me a while to kill the snake lady!

Thanks for your help! :)

This happened to me when one of my mages cast an area effect spell that injured a townsperson. Thankfully I had saved beforehand so just reloaded.

The same thing once happened to me with a stray lightning bolt. :D
