    I killed the guy who ultimately gets Anomen kicked out of the Order of the Radiant Heart. I totally forgot about that side plot, but I was rudely reminded of it. Keldorn wastes him and I'm without a cleric. I already saved Viconia and didn't have the space to add to the party, so I didn't take her into the fold.

    Is she floating around anywhere or have I lost her forever? Could she be in the Underdark somewhere?

    What sucks is that I finally built Anomen into a pretty decent NPC.

    I mean must Keldorn open his mouth for no reason and annoy Anomen?

    Is there a mod that fixes this plot so I can keep both in the party w/o killing each other?

    ...however, Keldon will also fight her. Good luck.

    You can install the "Happy Mod" which is in G3's tweakpacks. Alternatively, get Aerie, Jaheira, or Cernd.

    Keldorn will give a "warning" before attacking Viconia. The timing of the warning (as well as the subsequent attack) is entirely random, so it's possible to get to the end and never have it happen. Alternatively you could save often and reload the game if the warning dialogue (or the attack) does occur.

    Hint: I've found that by simply keeping the character portraits away from each other, they tend to talk a lot less - probably because they're not nearby most of the time. I managed to get to post-Spellhold without Aerie and Korgan fighting this way, despite them having some arguments.

    Yep, he just killed Viconia. I mean the guy's a psychopath in Paladin's clothing. If he wasn't such a good fighter. Oh well off the get the happy mod.

    I'll have to find the happy mod. I already modded Aerie to be just a mage, but listening to her dialog is just so painful.

    I just wanna Crom Fayer his arse. Ok, I did and now I feel better.

    Thanks I found the mod on their site, but it seems to come packaged wit ha lot of game unbalancing tweeks along with it. Hopefully, I can just parse the ones I need out as I don't want bottomless bags of holding or 9,999 quivers of arrows.

    Eh. It's not necessarily unbalancing; but I thought of it like that at first. However, not having to manage inventory is really a great help - and I believe it's justifiable: I want to spend my time killing monsters, not shifting stuff around and putting on worthless rings just to make an extra slot in my backpack. But, each to their own!

    Viconia does seem to bring out the worst in other NPCs, most of the time through no fault of hers. Keldorn is as goody-two-shoes as you can get but reveals nasty and unwarranted racism against Viconia. She can cause Valygar (Valygar! of all people!) to attack and kill her, though in only one particular circumstance (and in this case, she does provoke him). She'll even turn the entire city on you in Waukeen's promenade, without doing anything other than being there: the elf-hater (in the NW corner IIRC) will attack if he sees her, and if you defend yourself the guard will attack you.

    Actually that doesn't turn the whole city on you: we killed that guard and another of his buddies, but everyone else was fine with it. :p

    Each component is installable on its own, so no worries - just say "[N]o" to all the stuff you don't want, and add in the one you do want.
    The good news about BG2 modding is most mods come with a-la-carte options, via WeiDU.

    Thanks. It worked out well. Now if I can just find a hack to allow be to get to the underwater city that I skipped.

    Save your game on occasion and just restart if the Viccy-Keldorn argument starts. I admit I had to restart from a save once or twice but I got the 2 of them together through spellhold, the underdark, and so on.

    Sidenote: I'd be sooooooo pissed off if I hadn't completed this game and saw this thread title.
