Questions on weird little kids/old men/whatever

Post by Fatale »

Okay, here are two kids I can't figure out:

Anybody know what's the point of Frennedan? What's his problem when you refuse to let him join your party (after you free him from the glass room) out of the Irenicus dungeon into the Promenade? I was forced to kill him because I mistrusted him. Was he meant to live?

And what's with Delon? Even after you return from Umar Hills, you can't tell him the crisis is over and his village is saved. He just enters another journal entry to check out the deaths at Umar Hills again.

Besides the weird kids, how come darkness only comes after Hour 21? Is it just me or is it the nature of Amn?

You can assume Delon simply returns to his village--but I know, it would have been kinda nice if you'd actually seen Delon after saving the place.

As to Frennedan, he's just a particularly articulate if typically less-than-bright example of the Undead; that's all. He's somehow arrived at the conclusion that he can use his shapeshifting abilities to manipulate you emotionally into gaining your party's trust, but he's unaware that a succession of such shapes, shifted to in your presence, really doesn't do a whole lot for his credibility. ;)
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.

Actually, Delon never leaves the spot where you first meet him all throughout the game. In my case, he came up to me outside the Temple of Helm at the Temples District. He was standing there next to a guard every single time I went for a visit, and every single time I spoke to him, Minsc will get all excited to go check the Umar Hills again.

If I get to kill the Shadow Dragon again the second time, I wouldn't quite mind, but when I reach Umar Hills, everything was a-okay.

That makes Delon the official "[removed] Number Two", eh? ;)

shhhh, don't tell, but frennedan is actually a doppleganger. one of your dialog options says "i've had enough of dopplegangers!" which is refering to BG1. there are more dopplegangers in durlag's tower than there are raisins in a box of raisin bran.
