HI All,

I have searched through the forums and came up emtpy. The other night I finished up BGII SoA, dug out my old ToB c/d and installed it

I didnt notice at first, but somewhere my alignment switched from Neutral Good to Neutral Evil

So, after many reloads, I tracked it down to this: When using the Tears of Bhaal to get to Irenicus in Hell, after the third one, is when my alignment switches. Is this normal?

What thats madness

Realy you couldnt find nuttn'. Well any ways assumming teres not some miscommunication youre allighnment changed in hell when you put in the last tear of baahl. If you have Shadowkeeper you can change your allighnment back, but you have to go to affects.

Duh..lol

After a little bit more research, I found some ideas. I ended up going back and not taking the sword from the djinni (backrazor i think..mind is blank now).

It worked just fine.

As for using Shadowkeeper, I dont really see the point. The game is pretty bug free, so using that to 'get around' mysteries of the game is no fun to me. Killing the djinni and keeping the sword had its consequences, they simply didnt manifest until I used that Tear.

This is actually the only part of the game where your aligment can change...... so if at anypoint you find that it has changed.... this is where it happened...

LOL
It's been a while since someone asked this.

But yes, taking blackrazor shifts your alignment.

Just to clarify, taking ANY of the evil choices in Hell will change your alignment to evil, not just Blackrazor. Since I've only ever played evils, I never noticed untill the topic came up on the boards

Though, really, shouldn't doing all GOOD choices switch evil to good? Revolting thought, but at least an arguable point

I agree. Evidently the story was written with the assumption that the party would be good, so the test is really to see whether they will fall from grace or not. I think there should have been 4 tests, rather than 5: 2 for L/C and 2 for G/E. Two of the same responses would then force that alignment where differing responses on the same axis would default to N.

You can keep blackrazor without your alignment changing. Give the sword to the genie as normal then pickpocket him for it afterwards. Your journal will record that you freed the genie by giving him the sword and your alignment will not change.
