Weird things occur after a single Slayer change

Remove all ads!

I posted this already in BG2:SoA forum but as I learned there installation of ToB is the cause of this. So maybe you know something more about the problem and how to fix it perhaps (if it's really a problem and not just soething added for the annoyment of players).

I have Edwin in my party and after my rep reached 19 he had a speech about lost opportunities a few times and finally quit. So I loaded earlier savegame changed into slayer to lose two rep points and quickly (in the same or the very next round) changed back to my half-elf form. Even though I still got 'your control is slipping message' but it did not bother me much. What did is the fact that now everytime I quit a party required area flames arise around my character for a moment. I quit/loaded etc. but it didn't cease. Is something wrong?


I checked with ShadowKeeper and two new variables showed up that were not present in my earlier saves. They're SLAYER10 and SLAYERDEATH. I think SLAYERDEATH shows up only after I change to slayer of my own will and the number variable present by it refers to how many times I changed. As for SLAYER10 I think it doesn't depend on whether you become Slayer of your own will and I always had 0 variable by it.

 

I had those flames too.. me thinks those were just neat

 

Those flames really get on my nerves, too. They aren't only cosmetic, however. I'm pretty sure they cancel any polymorph type effects on you, too. I tested this with the Cloak of the Sewer (or whatever the cloak is that allows you to turn into trolls, jellies, etc), and sure enough, when I went to leave an area, I was instantly turned back into human form. This isn't really much to worry about (how often do you leave an area in a polymorphed form?), but it annoys me nevertheless.

 

oh yeah!! Finally i know the reason to those annoying flames. They get to my nerves too

I thought it was something caused by adalon's polymorph+some item i was wearing. So, this means that after the drow polymorph plot ends, you won't see those flames.

Hmm maybe it is corrected in the patch ? (left that game and started a new one with the patch)

 

is it big blue flames? if so, that was my fave part of loading the game! it was so funny seeing them appear in a puff of blue smoke!

 

No, that's not them. They're orange / red flames, like one of the effects that Irenicus hits you with while you're in your cell at the very beginning. I agree - those restoration type blue flames look cool - having certain effects on the party will cause that effect to happen when you load.
