Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Killing of NPCs

I'm guessing low affinity will affect how the story progresses, and the overall ending.

Kinda like the influence system in KOTOR 2.

Huuhuhuuhu....

This reminds me when I screwed myself roughly 9 years ago when I released that Ghost in that big ass wood down south (where the elves roam and such).

It scared me enough to flee north into the other zone (oh it was called the Dark Forest I believe). When I returned I found ALL of the NPC lying in a puddle of their own blood.

--> greatest glitch ever.

The ghost that is freed if you pull the sword in the stone? That's not a glitch, he kills everyone if you don't put the sword back.

That was one of the things I absolutely LOVED with Divinity 1 : It gave you lessons.

There are always 2 sides. I hope that they will have this kind of "teaching" in he new game as well.

Not "the lesser of 2 evils" (I really hate that !!!), but rather "what you do will have consequences".

I had the same feeling with the quest where you had to make/find a cure/potion for the people that were quarantined. Only 2 potions but 3 people to save. The amount of people that were asking how to save all 3.

Mhm, isn't that a bit too harsh? If you don't have an extra game saved you're pretty much screwed lol.

To me this is an examople of "the lesser evil". There's no winners, rthere, so to say.

The Sword In The Stone, however, teaches you a lesson of ... greed, for example.

No essential NPCs get killed by the ghost in the Dark Forest; you would just miss out on a couple minor side quests and a few NPCs to talk to if you don't return the Fake Excalibur (screenshot: Sword from the Stone, 56KB).

No, that's another lesson - always have a backup save. Always.


I'm sorry, but how is this a lesson of greed? Sword does not belongs to anyone, there is no greed factor plays the role if you pick it up (just like if you pick up anything from the ground). Nonsense.

But if you did steal it from some family that being protected by family spirit...

Hm, the web comic "The Noob Comic" just had a great strip about the greed issue

Pity about the sword in the stone, really, it's probably the best sword in the game.

You can wait until you are done with the elves in the Dark Forest and the guy looking for the vase before taking the sword.

I thought the Legendary Sword the most powerful one, no? Especially on higher level.
