Wow never expected such a debate. The NPC killing in the Divinity: Sword of Lies offered hardly an xp and caused more problems quest wise. Some NPCs that you kill pretty much end your game so it is best to not save when doing such things. It was more like just something fun to do. Especially casting hell spikes on the NPCs that cannot move.
Then you get the NPCs that can really kick your ass....
That's untrue. I killed everyone in Divinity and still beat the game. Some NPC's like Zandalor cannot be killed due to their importance to the plot. They are even immune to the poison cloud spell. Also killing merchants means that you can loot their entire shop.
Was it possible to kill the Patriarch?
Yes. I killed him in my first playthrough:

Did you get anything for it?
You get 30,000 EXP.
Was it possible to kill the Patriarch?
Yes, it was possible, I believe with Poisonous Cloud, not sure.
But he give you something (Quest/Skill) for the Main story in DD, so best not kil him before you get what you need
Once I killed him by accident, but after that never again.
You get the Ghost Skill from him but you can level up in that skill without learning it from him anyway which makes him rather irrelevant. By the way, how can you kill him by accident? He has a large HP pool and it takes numerous casts of the poison cloud spell to kill him...
Oh wait...I'm speaking to Jorom - Joram's evil twin - aren't I? When you mean "accident" you mean "on purpose" right?
