Cruel things you do to NPCs

Kurona

Here we record the noteworthy acts of douchebaggery we decided to inflict on our virtual minions

In my current run Neera just finished massacring her entire camp. If you kill Hayes without taking Neera in your party, when she joins the cutscene to open the camp doors still fires. Telana is of course hostile but Neera, possibly under the effects of some shroom given by Zaviak, didn't recognize her and happily helped me kill her as well as everything else.

Unfortunately Zaviak died before telling me what kind of shroom that was, so I abandoned Neera near his corpse out of spite. Hopefully, once her drug-induced hallucination fades, she will remember everything and weep in horror.

Your turn now, please share the stories of your depravity!

I may have, on occasion, in the past, killed Khalid and removed him from the party just to keep Jaheira... ... ..

I'm a better person now.

speaking about that, I would go the opposite route, and just for the lols, I would have Khalid attack jaheira and waste her, and then drop jaheira from the party and pick up branwen, because lets be honest, in the vanilla bg1 druid spells didn't stand a chance against protection from evil 10's stackable AC and saving throw bonus

gotta powergame is right @SirBatince

There was a thread like this already... somewhere.

But my favorite thing to do is cast barkskin on Willow Aspen Maple.

I always feel terrible for rejecting imoen when she tries to join the party underneath spellhold

JumboWheat01

I (apparently) lead Neera on, making her think I have the hots for her, when really, all I'm doing is just trying to be nice, friendly, and learn a bit about her. I keep putting her down (metaphorically,) much to her dislike.

Come to think of it, I have a tendency to do that to a lot of potential romance partners no matter the game, even if I blatantly state to their face that I fancy someone else. Why does nice instantly translate to bow-chicka-wow-wow?

Unequip and take Yoshi's weapons and armor and dual him into Mage right before going to Spellhod.
The idea is not mine, but I find it nasty.

Transform yourself into a Mind Flyer and drain Edwin's INT each time he calls you monkey.

Save Viconia from who want to burn her alive and then kill her yourself with fireballs.

Dual Valygar into a mage.

Take Keldorn into the party and then go into the Order's building and gate demons until every pally is dead.

Take Imoen in the party in the Asilum and when you are in the Drow city erase all the spells that she know and equip her with the cursed bracers that lower DEX.
Then drop her telling her "wait me here".

I suppose there was the time my ethically-challenged party gave Rasaad that ring that turned him into a zombie and then Vic gave him a scroll to reverse the effect, but it turned out to be cursed scroll of petrification instead. We all had a good laugh and the Statue of Rasaad stands til this day as a monument to the stupidity of ever trusting a Drow.

{Rassad, What an Idiot!}

PK2748

I do that to Eldoth a lot. He deserves to be a monument to his own vile behavior

Most times in bg2 I usually just kill Valygar, and use his dead body to enter the planar sphere, just for the sake of expediency

MagpieRandoms

I haven't done it myself, but I know there's an option to dump Aerie after she tells you

she's pregnant with your child.

Damn that's cold.

Well, I have gathered all avalable npc's in lower cloakqood mines once.

Something I like to do when I feel especially theatrical: The Tale of Captain Brage: BG2 Reconstruction. Starring Keldorn Firecam in the role of the good captain.

The steps.

1. Acquire Cursed Sword of Berserking from Smaeluv Orcslicer.
2. Give it to Keldorn.
3. Have tea in the Firecam Estate.
4. Accidentally summon something and make it hostile.
5. Cackle madly while Keldorn is overcome by the cursed blade and butchers his wife and daughters.
6. Pet your cat familiar and go back to your secret volcano lair.

jesterdesu

Some really harsh stuff here. Makes me realise I've never done anything actually evil in this game.

I do kill anybody I find hurting or arranging hurt to animals, such as the "noble" guy who wants you to kill a polar bear in BG1 and Wilson's captors... I feel that's justified though.

In Nashkel:

1. Locate Noober.
2. Speak to him.
3. For each of his questions, move slowly towards Nashkel inn.
4. When he asks his last question, you should be in front of the tavern.
5. Noober speaks to you for the last time, and then leaves the map - entering Nashkel Inn instead of just disappearing.

Result: Noober can now annoy the entire town with his stoopid questions, instead of being left in an empty field.

That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for Noober.

I like the BGII options where you can have a npc totally disgraced before dropping them or killing them. This goes for Anomen and Keldorn of course. It always gives me a reason to recruit them into my evil party. Thank you BGII for evil dialogue options.

It can also go for Jahiera too. Amu romanced her and did that whole long quest after Galvary. Eventually he picked a fight with Drizzt, causing Jahiera to abandon the party. He found her again outside the Galvary estate. I would like to say he stripped her down naked and cursed her, that would actually be cruel, but no he just killed her.

FinnTheHuman

Has anyone ever forgone the Nalia stronghold and just given her up to Isaeah?

Otherguy

I can't even be evil in computer games. I've never done anything even remotely evil to any good or neutral NPC in the BG series. I can't even turn down Nalia from taking the fighter stronghold when I am a FMT or FM even though I would much rather have the sphere. And if I do the sphere first I can't bring myself to have the apprentices create a reaching ring or staff of power since I feel bad if I get them killed..

The worst thing I have done might have been to not do Keldorns personal quest, because if I complete it he would never be able to stay in the party.

Kurona

So I picked up Dorn with the purpose of ruining his life, not that he really needs help for that but heh.

The plan: being real nice, perhaps even submissive, to him and making him patron-free in order to lull him into a false sense of security. Then sacrifice him in Hell during the trial of Selfishness. Death by betrayal, nothing worse for our self-styled "super evil badass".

I'm going to enjoy this.

FinnTheHuman

@Kurona... just .... wow. And I have the feeling you've only just begun.

The price of being an a*****e to the rest of Nashkel.

SirBatince

Is selling Pomab his own equipment stolen from his room a cruel thing?

I think we've all been cruel there.

During some of my first BG1 playings, I used to change the colour scheme of NPCs I didn't want to something drab, like browns and greys. Then kill them. Their dark and sad coloured corpses forever on the ground.

After my awful betrayal of Dorn, and being influenced by the latest Danganronpa 3 episodes, I decided to inflict terrible emotional pain on people who trust me unconditionally. Doing this in real life is a bit inconvenient but fortunately video game exist. Some deliberation later, I picked Saerileth as an ideal test subject.

Saerileth has lots of qualities making her enticing for the sake of ultimate asshattery:
- She's very gullible, due to having the emotional maturity of a 12 years old
- She's fanatical in, well, pretty much everything
- Her creators insist that even when she dies she still wins, but fortunately there's a loophole to prevent this

So here's the step-by-step plan to completely ruin her life (it's actually pretty simple):
1. Romance her (not that it's difficult)
2. Reach chapter 6 and go to Watcher's Keep for her quest
3. Assuage her doubts about her mission and have her banish Kesevar. She will then lose her status of Chosen of Tyr and feel absolutely miserable
4. When she leaves to redeem herself, kill her to make sure it never happens
5. With EEKeeper, switch your alignment to Chaotic Evil because you really deserve it at this point

And with that, a holy Chosen of Tyr died miserably alone and abandoned by her god. Gonna stop this playthrough now since it was a speed run just to do this.

Kinda want to make Viconia suffer now, but that's a bit harder.

@chimaera I am sorry but I refuse to consider Mutamin an artist. He blatantly violates the intellectual property of others. Everyone knows he doesn't make his statues himself but in fact ruthlessly exploits inoffensive critters while stealing the credit for their creations.

That being said, if the traveling sorceress made her statues herself, then I have no complaint.

Mutamin is your basic rockery gnome. If you wish to view true sculpted heroes cast in stone, visit my store atop Durlag's Tower! I asure you, once you visit, you'll find it hard to leave!
