    [​IMG] Another mystery I need solved.

    In the Bridge district, there is a noble man and woman near the temple of Helm. They have bodyguards and mention that they are waiting for someone.

    Who is this couple? Who are they waiting for? Or is it nothing at all to worry about?

    [​IMG] They're just scenery to imply life goes on around the main character without being anything epic. :roll:

    I was wondering about that too. I just figured they were part of a side story that didn't get completed before the final release.

    Does the Unfinished Business mod add anything to the encounter, or complete the story? I haven't tried that mod yet...

    I tried UB, but it does not add such a quest to the couple. Nor does any mod I know. I think they are just part of the scenery too! :) Which is not a bad thing, yes?

    :whoa: But... it's all about the PC! People can't go around in this game having lives of their own! The PC must influence them in some way. :p

    I wondered if UB did anything about them, but I'll take Silverstar's word.

    I've tried it two or three times and I've always gotten a scroll of simulacrum. If it is random then that's some coincidence.

    [And this couldn't be asked in a PM because it has so much relevance to the topic at hand?] -dmc

    yes to both.


    I think the whole thing with these people is a nice feature in the game. not everthing has to do with the time of troubles and the events that follow.
