Ophyllis Ending (Spoiler Alert)

in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
This is only a minor issue really, but did anyone else find it odd that Ophyllis turns up at the Siege all stabbed and dying, with a sword to repay you after you yelled at him the last time you saw him (which is what I did), but when you suggest Viconia heal him she she says she's not wasting a heal spell on him?!!! Viconia, you will heal who I tell you to heal dammit! And regardless I had M'Khiin in my party and a load of potions. It just feels like a blatant guilt trip, like I made the 'wrong' decision for being angry he lost ALL my money. That was a hell of a lot of money to lose Ophyllis. I refuse to be guilt tripped on this!

Anyway, not a huge issue, but still.

    The same happens if you aren't angry at all at him - so no guilt there, just empathy for poor, obsessive-compulsive Ophyllis :)

    Personally I felt this was one of the funniest quests in the game (at least for evil players). Every time he pops up it's "where's my money? Where the bloody hell is my money. Ophyllis, I wasn't aware you were suicidal, since you've once again shown up without my money." And then finally he gets a sword through the lung, and he's so hell-bent on paying you back, he offers it to you, and you can just say "meh, it'll do" and yank the thing out of him. Was immensely satisfying.


    And then in the final few areas of the game:

    you finally find a chest containing all your gold and a note from him saying "hey, sorry about your money, you might not remember me but I really wanted to pay you back, plus a little interest!


    So good.

    What a strange man(!) Personally I was happy with that gold statue but just couldn't resist yelling at him.

    I'm more baffled by the no healing thing, I had a cleric and a shaman! Then I could have sent him off to get me more money...

    Also, there seemed to be only the yelling options thru-ought, or the 'you've done really well, consider the debt paid you poor man' options. I mean, if it were me, I'd have been way more passive aggressive.

    The only good part about the Ophyllis quest:
    Apart from his dramatic death scene
    Is finding the chest with your gold in it. Ophyllis had lost around 150,000 gold for me and opening a random chest to see 3 VERY LARGE stacks of gold caused me to make a sound I dare not make again.

    yeah, that cash is really going to kickstart my shopping spree at the beginning of bg2.
    oh wait...

    Hello friends. If you have not read the item description of the sword you receive from this quest I would highly recommend you do so now.
