RedSocialKnight Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Has anybody tried playing the Lady Aelys quest as a priest of Skaen? Are there different paths to resolution, can you talk to the mobs in the tunnel, etc? DID YOU KNOW: *Missing String* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ell Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I haven't, but I doubt that there would be any alternative paths in the beta. I was very disappointed with the Skaen dungeon by the way. It's difficult to enjoy the mechanistic process of clearing the dungeon of "cloned" temple guards who don't even try to talk to you before attacking.

It's difficult to enjoy the mechanistic process of clearing the dungeon of "cloned" temple guards who don't even try to talk with you before attacking. Their are at least 3 ways to get to the temple, 2-3 ways to get through the temple and 5 or more ways to solve the problem, one of them is class specific.

Ell Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Is there any way to avoid fighting the guards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvanpyxie Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Just ran it through, can confirm cultists still attack you on sight which makes sense since they wouldn't be able to identify a fellow worshiper anyway, but during your encounter with the Cult Leader Wymund you have unique dialogue options relating to the Quiet Slave (AKA Skaen.) Chosen dialogue options are obviously cruel, because Skaen is a bastard. Edited August 26, 2014 by Sylvanpyxie 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSocialKnight Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Just ran it through, can confirm [...] you have unique dialogue options Excellent to know. Hopefully this is an indication that there will be similar unique options for other classes/backgrounds/etc at other areas in the game.

Sensuki Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Would be nice to have some ambient dialogue from the Cultists or something. The Icewind Dale games kind of didn't include this, but in the BG games, usually there would be a dialogue before combat. In BG1 it was because there was no ambient dialogue, so a guy would run up to you and talk and be like "You're not supposed to be here!". In the consecutive IE games, this type of stuff was switched to ambient dialogue. Would be nice to either have some VO'd "Intruders!" or just some ambient dialogue about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeJunta Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 As an aside, I'm digging Skaen. A nasty god with understandable reasons for the nastiness, and cultists with similarly understandable reasons for following him. As a good Communist I had to side with them in the end too, of course; couldn't side with the parasitic class under any circumstances. Not your usual Ancient Evil. I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress. Find it here: www.brikoleur.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had only completed that quest as a cipher so I didn't even realize that the option to "delve in" yourself was a cipher-only option. Makes sense in retrospect.

Skie Nightfall Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I was surprised Wymund didn't mind all the dead priests or me checking his locked chest after we finished our dialogue without killing each other. ✔ Certified Bat Food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
