    It is still worth it though. You get schematics for Potion of Paralysis and a fate point while doing the quest.

    I belive Chris Beddos has included the half ogre quest finale in his Car Arcanum mod.

    It's in a crate in a locked building in the docks of tarant.

    More specifically, the one with the jammed doors that you have to dynamite (or beat with an axe) to open. Be prepared for a nasty fight if you aren't high level.

    I don't know about Chris's Car Arcanum having a conclusion to the half-ogre quest, but I am definitely extending it substantially in my new mod. Still, if you play it the way you've done it in the past, you will probably miss the new parts, so be forewarned. I hope to have my mod ready by sometime this summer.

    I hope I'm not remembering things wrong, but isn't there a way in there through the sewers? Removes the problem of having too bomb/disintegrate a door, which may not be all too tolerated by those omnipresent guards.

    Oh, and I would personally never axe a door. My standard process if I have to break something open is to remove the weapons of all my followers and then let them handle it. Fists can be healed but weapons cost money to fix and can get permanently broken. :/

    Axes don't get damaged on doors and chests. Other weapons (except arcane ones, which are also exempt) do, but not axes.

    You are remembering wrong, Dark Elf. The only way into that particular warehouse is through the doors. One set of doors is jammed and the other set is locked and can be picked, but is really hard to do so most people will use dynamite or beat them down. Also, labyrinthian, you are wrong about axes not getting damaged on doors and chests because only pyrotechnic axes don't get damaged on them. I've had Virgil and Magnus ruin too many axes if I don't stop them from attacking those doors in time. I usually use a chakram on the doors because throwing weapons are also immune to that damage.

    normal axes are not damaging on wooden objects, only on metal.

    Well, the doors at that warehouse are metal.

    Use the Power Axe that you find in the Black Mountain Clan. "It slices, it dices, it Juliannes!!".

    There isnt a way into that warehouse through the sewers.

    And according to the walkthrough, that depressing end to the Half Ogre quest is the way it finishes in the official campaign. It pissed me off too. I reloaded, dumped my party members outside and then sliced and diced that smug little gnome punk!!
