[(BG1) Inconsistency] Bastard Sword +1/+3 v Shapeshifters

Balquo

Current:
Kondar (SW1H03) is a unique bastard sword, but it's available from Aldeth Sashenstar and also in a random container(2) in a random house in ar1006.

Expected:
There should only be one Kondar. I'd suggest swapping the one in ar1006 with a generic bastard sword +1.

Cuv

I agree... there can be only one!

Bhryaen

Note that you can also get two by pickpocketing him while helping him in the woods, then finding him in BG City and getting another... ;-) Ah, another exploit I really shouldn't point out...

Balquo

@Bhryaen Aye, that is something that should be fixed too. Another thread or maybe it is fine to leave it here?

Bhryaen

@Balquo
*wince* You're right... I'll make one... lol I'm being atomic!

Lunever

But to change a bastard sword +1 with a special ability vs. a bastard sword +1 is boring. Let it be a bastard sword +1 with a special ability or a katana +1.

CamDawg

Yeah, there are potentially four Kondars available--Cloakwood, pickpocket outside the Merchant's Consurtium, pickpocket inside the Merchant's Consortium, and then in ar1006.

This will make Kondar exclusive to the first meeting, and swap the ar1006 sword for a +1 Jon Snow.

This also appears to be a duplicate of this thread.

CamDawg

Argh, I'm an idiot. Ignore my fix above--for some reason I was thinking Aldeth gave you Kondar in Cloakwood, which is definitely incorrect.

And be warned of the line break in the inlined file again.

checking this one now

Potentially fixed - You should only be able to get one Kondar now

Avenger_teambg

confirmed fixed - i guess
So, there is no aldeth.bcs
And the sword is equipped, so effectively unstealable
Note, that after aldeth gave you his only sword, he will be barehanded.

Tanthalas

Confirmed Fixed:

Kondar couldn't be pickpocketed from Aldeth no matter where you encountered him.
AR1006 now has a Bastard Sword +1 instead of the Kondar.

@Avenger_teambg
Do you think that Aldeth becoming unarmed is an issue?

Avenger_teambg

@Tanthalas I don't know, i'm unfamiliar of his appearances and when it is possible to take his sword, etc.
Actually, if you see him sword-less later it would be a nice touch, because you can be sure it is the same guy. With all those dopplegangers it is good to know But again, i'm not familiar with his appearances, i have played this game too long ago (and replays never went past Cloakwood)

Tanthalas

@Avenger_teambg
I don't think he appears again after we do his quest. He just stays inside the Merchants Consortium.

Tanthalas

I'm moving this one to Confirmed Fixed.

Though we should check in the next build if this stays true after the other quest fixes are added.
