Her stats are the same as Clara's so long as she's wearing Dragomir's Cloak, which she has to do in order to walk around in sunlight. The only time you can take it off safely would be in the Underdark.
I'll not be getting the EEs for a bit (platform issues/linux dammit) but I'm already planning my next BG playthrough. What's the conclusion regarding Hexxat? Good character? Interesting story? Powerful? Do her particular issues cause loads of micro-management? A good romance option? Can her alignment actually shift or was that just a rumour?
If she's worth it I'll build my next character around her. Thanks in advance.
I liked the story, but the way Hexxat is used is a major disappointment. I don't know why one would want to micromanage cursed items or want even so see so many red stats all the game on a character. The least thing Baldur's Gate need is more micromanagement.
Thanks to EE Keeper there is a way to mod this stupid behavior out. Why does Baldur's Gate 2 hate the pure thief so much?
I want to change Hexxat portrait by overriding the original with another of my own. Anyone of you knows the file name of the portrait? Any help would be really appreciated!
getting a bug in the tomb with the monks, after we have the item, Hexxat constantly (and I mean she overrides move and skill commands) pesters me to leave, I can't walk anywhere, can't loot she just cycles thru half a dozen phrases constantly pulling me into dialogue
Well, I've got an idea for your first dlc companion then.
Faxxat/Clara. Make a way to free her from her enthrallment, and continue on from there. To be fair to everyone, since Hexxat is the only thief and is evil, she should be turned into a neutral or good thief, probably neutral. It would also make the people happy that were upset by the plot twist. I know I wasn't very happy with it, because I don't want a vampire in my party.
Well, I'm actually working on it. As I said earlier. You can support the project by uh... Giving me tons of hurray ! Yaaay !
Whoops, I wasn't paying much attention to previous posts. I see it now, so... uh.... Hurray! Yaaay! ...And you only get one of those from me, so enjoy it. Savor it, like a fine wine. ...or something like that. :P
Can someone tell if Lady Hexxat can stay with a party REP>18 ? ^^
I'm asking because in BG1EE, Shar-Teel was like that..as long as you beat her initially, if i am correct^ (or here.. 'help' her in her goal..and she is targeting smthg in TOB too, so could be a little the same i guess..able to stay to the end even with goodie REP20 party..but for other ultimate reasons of course here..^)...
The rest, i don't care too much..evil can be used and tricked too at his own game, perfectly knowing it too, after all..^ ..could be interesting to see that too with an Hexxat apparently (of course, maybe not with a Keldorn&co in the same team, k^) ... // ^^
Oops, forget it /Shar-Teel BG1EE dudette; they finally decided to fix that in v1.2 apparently (she can no more stay with REP>18 even with her 'deal' -&Viconia-same*))- and she disappears suddenly too now..after 1 year like that, supaa^))..)... lol, sometimes we no more know if those things are bugs or new features here ^^ *))
anyway, could be interesting / that Hexxat all the same.. question stays..though now, the answer to expect seems to be much more traditional then, ok..^^ pity, pity..*)
Quick question, I'm loving Hexxat. I just finished her first quest and I was blown away, now I'm way more excited about this character.
But does anyone have access to her portrait? I'd love to do a little tweaking to it. Nothing major cause I love the portrait but I'd mostly just like to reverse it.
I am thoroughly confused as to why people are so upset about Hexxat being a vampire. I am playing an Evil Sorceror and my god I am loving her with Dorn, Korgan, and Viconia so far. Almost every major encounter is either underground or indoors, so the Cloak thing is a moot point. I mean I would like a straight oriented romance option, but eh, the ones available are already good, especially Viconias, I might reroll as a woman at some point but yeah. I love Hexxat
Hexxat's romance conversations are not starting for me. I am playing a neutral evil female elven dragon disciple, and I have finished the first part of Cabrina's quest (the claw). I opened up my savegame with EE Keeper and see hexxatlovetalks and hexxatromanceactive both at 1 but there's no timer variable. Is this because the Dorn romance is also active?

If you choose to use the cloak, you will get punished by game mechanic. If you choose not to, you will get nonetheless punished for yor choose, again, by game mechanic. As if there were no other vampire effects that would not lead at least to contant micromanagement.
@Flauschig: There's no "punishment". When you use the Cloak, her stats are exactly the same as Clara's - if you were fine with that when you met her at the Copper Coronet, guess what, you should still be fine with that.
What it does mean is when you get to the Underdark (traditionally where most players swap Yoshimo out for Imoen), you can remove that cloak and let her run wild.
After the tomb, I asked her to stay with me, she agreed. Is there something else I'm supposed to do or just wait? I looked around the Copper Coronet, but can't find anyone whose name starts with an "L" to talk to.
Comments
I kinda prefer the first Hexxat and for roleplay reasons wouldn't mind having her old stats. (I had Safana in BG:EE rather than Imoen for example)
If not, perhaps its possible to play the game through with the old one and not do her questline? Or will she get mad and leave eventually?
If she's worth it I'll build my next character around her. Thanks in advance.
I think changing the soundset however is a bit beyond me and I don't want to end up messing up my game.
