in General Discussion (Spoiler Warning!)
how did they possibly think it would be acceptable to have some elven tit teleport to me and just take the items i took off drizzt after a hard fight and i can't even defend myself against it! I hate it when baldurs gate lets some random assholes just take things out of my inventory without you being able to do ANYTHING! "uh yeah hi there guys if you could hold still for a second and let me take off that suit of armor you are wearing that would be great" makes perfect sense -.- why in all the fucks does this game not want me to keep these items which aren't even that great... it just pisses me off that these things happen at all! grah

p.s.: i don't give a fuck about drizzt! i've never read a single story about him so i couldn't care less what happened to him! stop force feeding me this shit!
rant end! god damn it!

    It usually helps to shapeshift into a Mindflayer and then sucking his brain out. Or you could just overwrite C6harp.bcs with a blank .txt file to remove Harpell's scripted immortality from him.

    i think it's because baldurs gate is true to FR and story-telling etc that it forces this one you. Drizzt is an FR stalwart with powerful friends...someone's gonna notice if he's killed and yeah, they'll probably want his stuff back. just my thoughts, o'course

    If you do not mind mods, the BG2 Tweak pack actually contains an option to remove him so if you kill Drizzt and his friends, he wont appear to take the items away.

    I wanted to play a drow due to BG2 and other sources that have made me interested in the idea. Every single other person playing immediately suspected I was playing D'rizzt. Bah!

    You shouldnt have rolled a ranger with scimitar proficiencies.

    @op Its a good reminder that there are always people more powerful then you.

    Malavon from Icewind Dale 1, and to a lesser extent, Nym from Icewind Dale 2, are the most memorable drow characters after Viconia and Drizzt. Soulafein as an npc mod was interesting, and the dimension door as an special ability was very flavourful. The party consisted of an elven female fighter/mage Wirbelwind in SoA, I soloed all the way to Underdark, picked up Soulafein and in ToB recruited Sarevok and Viconia...

    If I have understood the terms of the licence regarding new content, some new trials could be introduced in the form of avengers. Think, for example, Koshi in the secret compound - just what kind of peers he could have, whom would be zealous to get the Celestial Fury back? And another such scenario could involve the dragon scale armors - a draconic vengeance should cause a sudden shock to anyone wearing red/shadow/white/blue dragon scale armor.

    It really doesn't make sense in bg2.
    The items are notably mediocre by that stage in the game anyway.

    Maybe the great Terminsel is next! O.O

    I simply kill Melchor him every time he appears. I honestly dont mind him showing up, but it gets boring after the nth time.

    It was a drow. Drow are evil. Makes perfect sense he'd attack.

    Oh, no. Not this old trope again. :(

    It's an elephant. Elephants are Pink. Oh, wait....

    I hear you, it's annoying that you work so hard to get those items only to have them taken away.

    Even so, let's try to keep the language to a PG-13 level. We all know that teenagers have foul mouths, but I'd like to at least make the effort to pretend, for the sake of the parents. :)

    (It's also in the site rules, which you can read here)

    Umm, uhh, uhm... Infravision-reputationsystem-SkieSilvershield-WizardSlayer-faketalk. *runs away, covering mouth*

    How come no one complains about not being able to kill Elminster and steal his hat? Poor Melchor :(

    That's because they know that neither charname nor any of the characters in their party could pull off wearing it. Too stylish!
    *looks at Edwin* Are you suuuuuure about that, Mr. E?

    Yeah, but a thousand years later I'd kick your arse!

    I like this Harpell's style.
    A nice feature for those on the "narcissistic outburst" side.
