Keldorn went mad after i raised him from dead

marilith

On my current SCS-Insane playthrough i formed party consisting of me, human blackguard, Keldorn, Valygar, Wilson and Aerie. Right now we are on mission to save Haer'Dalis and in that goal we decided to take out Reijek in Bridge District for some xp. It was a fierce, tough battle and Keldorn died gloriously, afterward i raised him in nearby temple. Soon after we rested at Five Flagonns Inn, he went mad and started talking, like i was clicking on him all time, turning on me.

What can i do?

Besides, what do you think of abusing eekeeper, like giving yourself million gold and all the best equipment, can it be justified?

Hard to say what has caused the Keldorn issue, have you completed his quest? Off the top of my head all i could think would cause problems are reputation dropping too low or his quest not being completed/started within a certain time frame, although i am not sure if his quests have time limits.

As for EE Keeper it's entirely down to you, the game is played for fun so if you want to play with unlimited cash and the best items, then have at it! Personally i give myself a bag of holding and perhaps a +1 weapon, occasionally i'll give myself some gold if i am not playing a thief and cannot be bothered to steal everything using Yoshimo, Clara, Jan or Nalia. It's also fun to play LoB + SCS solo, i'll usually add in some kits for multi-class toons when i do that, can't beat the Kensai/Assassin/Wild Mage version of the FMT hehe.

He realized you were a blackguard?

Sure it can. "I want to cheat and my desire to cheat is its own justification." That's what it comes down to.

If somebody wants to play the game that way, fine. But what would be the point?

Depends on what how you want to play the game. Most of the time I grab a bag of holding and a custom version of boots of speed (weaker one) for conveniency everytime I start a game.

Well, if SCS on insane can be tough, so can I, and in that way I can justify cheating through eekeeper.

Why Wilson got so low dexterity when he's a bear, I mean bears are dexterous and resilient animals. He should have damage resistance too! Also, he should move faster, you can't outrun bears!

Can I make Blackguard/Mage via eekeeper? It would be cool

Unfortunately not, the best you could do is to make a Fighter/Mage then add in the Blackguard abilities manually, you would have to update them as you level up, i haven't tried but i am pretty sure turn undead would not be possible to add, at least without some programming/mod-making experience, also it wouldn't have the Paladin XP tables, so you'd level faster since Fighters require 10% less then Paladins/rangers.

Doesn't matter. Blackguard is more powerful than fighter/mage anyway.

What you are describing is called the "stutter bug". It means that a dialogue is trying to trigger, but the game can't find the file. It is usually caused by some kind of mod incompatibility or corrupted mod file. The bugged out character will keep turning toward your main character trying to initiate its crashed dialogue file over and over in a continuous loop. That makes the character stop moving, and pretty much makes the character unusable.

I've managed to fix it before, but I don't remember exactly how I did it. Sometimes it's the character's personal quest timer trying and failing to kick in, so if you haven't taken Keldorn to talk to Maria, doing so might fix his problem. I fixed it once in Minsc by taking him to see the mayor of Imnesvale, and I fixed it once in Aerie by taking her to talk to Quayle and then to the Five Flagons.

You might also want to make sure you don't have too many mods installed, and maybe reinstall your game with fewer mods. The more mods you have, the more likely a character will get broken with the stutter bug.

Keldorn's dying likely has something to do with it. I've experienced and also read about several cases where either a death and resurrection or the character having been stoned can break the character's dialogue files. If you have an acceptable save from before the character died that can also probably fix it if you're willing to reload.

Thanks for helpful explanation. I guessed that it was stutter but didn't know for sure.

I have earlier save, but i think i'm way past now in my blackguard path to bother...
