Shame on you for killing Maria!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />
Question:
Are you role playing as a good person or a bad person?
If you are playing a good person your best bet is to reload before you killed Maria and read/listen to what she has to say.
There's a lot more to this quest than what Malcolm tells you.
(If you've spoke with Malcolm)
If you're role playing as a baddie...then you reap what you sow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />
