Hexxat for Good-aligned Team

Illustair

Would I still be able to enjoy Hexxat as a permanent team member if my character has good alignment and dialogue choices are mostly for the good? Please answer with bare minimum spoilers. I don't mind spoilers for this question though - will I be able to change her alignment via in-game choices?

Erinne

I don't think Hexxat will leave if you make good choices during quests. However a number of good-aligned characters will have conflicts with her, so your options are going to be limited. Also, I'm not sure how you'd be able to justify taking her along RP-wise if you're good-aligned given some of the things she admits to doing. AFAIK changing her alignment is not possible.

Yeah I wanted to take her but she fights with almost everyone I think. Rather, they fight with her. From what I hear of her in ToB, it would be really hard to justify bringing her.

GamingFreak

yeah, Hexxat is a good thief but really if you want a thief that doesn't get into fights just go with Jan Jansen. Sure he's multi-classed and takes longer to level up, but he still gets the job done (AND STILL GETS SPIKE TRAPS!)

I find it kind of funny, I have a play through were I have played with hexxat quite a bit ( I think she is level 16 or so) and all the banter I see, you would never suspect that she was evil, she seems to be very calm and caring, or at least in my opinion that is what I have seen so far

Hexxat, as mentioned, has conflicts with most of the good-aligned NPCs, so playing a "good-aligned party" with her is going to end up with a pretty restricted roster. On the other hand, she doesn't appear to have any conflicts with the neutral NPCs, so she might fit in well with a neutral party.

What alignment is your party? I find that in evil parties she seems quite nice, but her evilness comes out more with good parties.

If you mean she cheerfully agrees when the others suggest a bloodbath, then yes, she's nice in evil parties.

Haha! Indeed! I was thinking more about the fact that she basically eats peasants while you sleep, which the Good characters like Aerie try to confront her about while the Evil ones just don't give much of a f*** and let her get on with it without comment. XD

All Evil-aligned NPCs seem far more evil when mixed with good parties as there is alot more conflict, and you also can compare them at the moment.

Disregarding RP reasons and just looking at conflicts

Hexxat has conflicts with Anomen, Keldorn, Mazzy, Aerie (in TOB, i think), and maybe Valygar? Not sure on that.

So you can bring Minsc, Nalia, Imoen, Jaheira (ok I know she's "true neutral" but let's be real if this was 3rd edition she'd be Neutral Good), and I'm probably forgetting others.

toshiro

As compared to who Viconia, who bad mouths everyone, especially if she sees them as a romantic rival.

SpiffyMcBang

Using Hexxat in a good party isn't optimal for two reasons. One is the number of potential conflicts. Two is that you miss out on watching her completely backhand Korgan, Dorn, and/or Edwin if you have any of them in your party with her.

Illustair

I was hoping someone would say that you can use charisma, should it be exceptionally high, to keep her in check.

DMC

I am running a bard game right now, true neutral with Hexxat as my thief. Rest of the party is Yoshimo, Cernd, Jaheira, and Neera. Nobody seems to have any conflicts at all with her, and her convo pop-ups are all mellow and calm, rather affable really. I also have a 22 Charisma so that might be smoothing things over without my really realizing it. But yea, the moment I tried adding any of the stuffy-good characters even for a brief time, it was not happy cause they all demanded "either she goes or I go" and I so I have populated the Copper Coronet with a lot of out of work adventurers.

Deltharis

There are various degrees of conflict. Keldorn immediately upon joining whines about vampire in the party, so he is totally out I guess. Mazzy broke after maany adventures, and when she did I just went to her house and hired her back (we shall see how long it lasts). Aerie for now keeps her opinions to herself.

In some cases, like with Mazzy (and maybe Valygar), a high Charisma can change 'fight to the death' into 'Mazzy peaceably leaves' but you still have to choose between them, its just they don't kill each other.

@DMC: Hexxat is most definitely Affably Evil.

And really she should fight all them as well. The moment she starts talking about sneaking out and eating peasants, it makes all those characters seem weak not to take any notice and act oblivious. So far, it's only Aerie she makes that revelation to, so I think that conflict should be removed, or changed so that Aerie is less sure what Hexxat gets up to and only delivers a verbal warning in ToB.

And as for Valygar, they will argue. In that case, it depends what dialogue you choose whether they fight, or he just leaves, or he seems to just let it go on one of them.

Rogol

Does she have a certain reputation threshold for leaving your party?

Jalily

She leaves at 19-20, just like other evil NPCs.

toshiro

First thing is never let your rep get to 19, and it is possible. As to conflicts no worse than kheldorn and viconia where they come to blows, or anal retentive (anemon) tries to kill aerie when he falls his knighthood test, which is why I only keep kheldon long enough to reunite his with his wife, and treat anemon like he has the bubonic plague.

Aliard1806

is there any mode to let hexxat in party without conflicts with other charachters??with or without cheats or eekeeper? i read other topic but i didn't see any solution! :C
