Thalantyr....i hate you man

Arutha_Crydee

So i thought it would be cool to kill one of the golems that Thalantyr couldnt see for some nice xp. well uh that didnt go over so well. Now he always tries to kill me when i enter high hedge. So i went and picked up Melicamp in hopes that it would trigger him to talk to me. No such luck. Any ideas?

Algernon Cloak?

Arutha_Crydee

what is the algernon cloak and where can i get it? sounds new to me. I have sold so many magic items to Thal and recently discovered that i should have held on to a few of them

lolien

Now he is really angry with you. Maybe a charm spell helps, but not sure. I suggest you to search for another goods-selling Archmage.

Edit: double ninjaed

Arutha_Crydee

Damn! I just tried dire charm on him and he saved vs it. You think if I keep reloading I'll eventually get him?

lolien

Try casting doom first.

Metalloman

If you go to the Friendly Arm Inn Feldepost Inn there's Algernon. Pickpocket him (save first!!!) and you'll get the Cloak.

Basically is a better version of the Nymph Cloak. +2 CHA and daily charm.


NON-EDIT: I've not edited this post because of @Elminster, obviously, but for uhm... a typo, yes! A typo.

Arutha_Crydee

so i charmed him. but he just keeps saying the same line over and over. not one ive heard out of him before either. and never an option to respond to him

@CrevsDaak‌

Arutha_Crydee

this is what he says while charmed

Arutha_Crydee

at this point i might just kill him for the xp lmao

Arutha_Crydee

I went and got the cloak, threw it on my charname and went for it. charm worked perfect but he still says the same thing lol. dammit i sold him my cloak of whispers amongst other things lmao

Metalloman

or just wait for @CrevsDaak‌

Arutha_Crydee

Sorry, i was going back home from school

I'll need your saved game (fastest and easiest way to do this), you can find it in Documents/Baldur's Gate Enhaced Edition/save. The save is omposed by the whole 000000000##-savedgamename folder, so zip/rar the one that has Thalantyr hostile, and upload it to the forums with the 'Attach a file' option under the comment box.

What is happening here is that the Charmed dialog triggers, instead of the Neutral dialog lines.

Best moment to kill the Golems is when you first enter, before talking to Thalantyr, they'll be hostile and he won't get angry.

FYI you mean the Feldpost Inn

Only thing I don't like about Thalantyr is that you have to go through all this dialogue all over again each time you want to buy something from him.

Arutha_Crydee

this is my main save file right here

CrevsDaak

Here I changed their thieving skills & made thalantyr neutral again

Arutha_Crydee

oh sweet! thanks dude!

Remember to always kill the golems first! He won't hold it against you, and its easy enough to RP justify "blundering" into them by accident.

Arutha_Crydee

did you put any extra points or just move what was there around?

did you use a special program to do it?

Yes, I added lots of points for Coran and Imoen, I wanted to make it quickly

Arutha_Crydee said:

Yes, I used NearInfinity, which is an editor for the Infinity Engine (Icewind Dale, Planescape Torment) in general, it uses Java to run/written in Java, but it's definitely not user-friendly

You can use EEKeeper, which is a saved-games, character and creature file editor for BG(2):EE, it's completely user-friendly, very easy to use, and most of what you would like and know how to edit is there

CHARM TALKING WORKS??!!!!!!!
I though the ee's didn't do that!

If you are asking if you can charm someone in BGEE and then talk to them then the answer is yes. Works just like the original BG1.

Yes It does.i thought the bg2 engine broke that.

Thalantyr: "MELICAMP!, I, I, HAHA! I never loved you."

Am I missing something with the whole charm thing? I just brutally slaughter everything that crosses my path...

It did but they fixed it so in BGEE it should work fine. Though in the case of BG2EE it won't have any unique charm dialogue as far as I know you can still talk to charmed NPC's (I've never checked).
