So keldorn betrays you for an evil little drow (drizzt). Any other place he betrays you?
I am going to kill the silver dragon will he protest to this to?

Bad time to stand up. Drizzt is both drow and while a hero has a checkered past. Besides keldorn will in the end probably help the rebirth of bhaal by staying loyal. So i actually get why fights with his charname friend and leader even when it might be butchering. Alot of baddies go down.
I have to ask: what checkered past are you referring to? I haven't read the Drizzt books in many years, but from what I remember he's always an objectively Good character. A bit tortured by his past, but he never lets that force him to commit evil. Him being Drow might cause a younger, dumber paladin like Ajantis might attack him, but a veteran like Keldorn who actually knows who Drizzt is would absolutely never dream of fighting him.
A game this big and complex can't represent perfect RP reactions for every character in every scenario, but Keldorn defending Drizzt and attacking Viconia seems perfectly reasonable to me.
Yessss yessss, let the hate flow. :P
Like a nazi landing in america killing civilians, military and so on. Then refusing to kill a little girl. Getting banned and then he wanders the usa and becomes a warrior of justice in canada.
And yet keldorn would accept (complains but does not betray you or the others) if you kill a member of his own order.
I dont buy it. Keldorn would not have betrayed charname if he was killing baddies en masse.
If memory serves, he did mutilate the woman's corpse a bit to hide the girl from the rest of the Drow, but that seems justifiable to save the child. The woman was already dead.
The game is a decade old. Keldorn not reacting to you attacking his own order is an oversight, not something to base his motivations on.
My first play through with him, I thought I would try to do the fake metal ore for the sculptor scam. Well Keldorn called me out on it and ruined the ploy. I was so shamed that an NPC was more righteous than me! I've loved Keldorn ever since. Very well written character. I take him along whenever I can.
Oh, I know, for the powergaming superweapon? Honestly if I was designing the game, I'd make the alignment restrictions even more stringent. No evil character should be able to recruit Keldorn under any circumstances. The moment you commit an act that results in reputation loss, the obviously Good characters like Keldorn should at least leave the party, or attack you if the act was particularly heinous.
One cannot negotiate with evil! There is only one solution, which Minsc put into words better than anyone:
"EVIL, MEET MY SWORD! SWORD, MEET EVIL!!!!"
I dunno what you are talking about. If you mean that you killed Ajantis and his company, that was because they were under an illusion... and Keldorn has dialogue in that scene that explains this.
I'm really not sure if you are trolling or just misremembering.
Plus, even if these completely and utterly false statements were true in some alternate universe, Keldorn would have no information about Drizzt's upbringing, only what he has done since on the surface. Which means as far as my favorite NPC ever is concerned, Drizzt is a hero.
Keldorns ending is also flawless.
I like that he says stop but i cant remember if he also liked the silver dragon.
And it sounds as if misinformed about drizzt.
But i do like to kill him, esp when i roll dwarf. Ohhh a drow kill kill
Okay, definitely trolling... and quite well I may add
edit: misread "dong" which should have meant "don't"
I could make Aerie, one of the most altruistic characters in the game, commit utterly despicable acts, and retain her in the party by bribing churches, but I don't, because I recognise that it's 'bad design', which is partly implemented to give players a chance to play a bit more of a nuanced alignment, without worrying about suddenly having half the party turn on him for a petty theft.
But I recognise that Aerie would not actually do anything like murder a random child, and being able to do so mechanically does not reflect on her personality. Same applies to Keldorn. The Devs clearly implemented a few 'key decision points' in the game where a clear moral decision does make a decisive difference to your relationship with the NPC. Refusing to help Minsc rescue Dyanheir is one of them, attacking Drizzt in Keldorn's company is another.
A real issue is Nalia not responding if you kill her aunt. This is just weird.
Just no. You have not done what i am talking about. He is fine with it. Did it yesterday
Keldorn is fine with war and bloodbaths, he will accept alot and it makes sense charname is worth it.
