    Check this out. And remember about "search" feature. Especially that you did post in that thread.

    Point is it was already thorooughly discussed in a thread you even replied to yourself. And since you didn't specify what, if any, problem you have with a recipe given there I take it you could just use that recipe w/o making new topic about the same thing.

    Damn, a real topic-digger you are, eh?

    Nothing's bad with new topics in general. This case was special and you have all the reasons as to why it is so listed above.

    But he wants a non violent way to do it, like dropping the Baneful Guantlets or the Diseased Leather armour next to Bates & waiting for him to put it on & die. You can do it with the invisibility ring, but then you have to find an invisible corpse to get the ring back.

    Dragoon ...
    If we discount from your "Total Posts" all the posts you have put reminding someone about the FAQ's and the SEARCH feature, would you still be a Technological Marvel?

    It gets rid of the current owner without your PC getting the rep of Bates' killer.

    That would be about 5-10 posts less afaik. Besides I mentioned search feature because backstabber started a new thread about the very same issue (with really detailed answers given) which was already thoroughly discussed so it is very easy to find it AND he had his very own posts in that old thread. That's what bothered me. If he had not posted there I'd simply give him that link giving up mentioning search feature this time.

    As for reminding of FAQ I do that only when someone asks how to quote, write bold, italic etc. because it's explained very clearly there so why bother writing it again.



    I meant how does it give you "Mansion owner" (or whatever it says) notice in yuor logbook. That's how you become a real owner. Not that it makes any difference as to what extent you can use the mansion.

    I think the pooint of the mansion is to get Bates' journal without killing the guards.

    if you have bates kill himself with baneful guantlets or some other such item, buy the mansion, and then resurrect him do you still get the his mansion?

    the only reason i see to do this is to make sure tarant doesnt fall into chaos at the end of the game, but still

    Whats the point of not making Tarant fall into kaos at the end of the game, its fun. I suppose your idea would work but it might still fall into kaos.
