    Okay, first question - in the description for the Troll Offspring background, it says you have to fend off attacks by holy men. Is this actually implemented in the game?

    2.) I understand there is a way to drag the corpses of people you have killed into less obvious areas. How do you do this?

    and which characters are voiced besides Virgil and Magnus?

    Thanks in advance.

    Really? I didn't know this... interesting point. I s'pose it would be nice to remove the pile of corpses from the street my half-ogre made... Yeah, does anyone know how to do this?

    IIRC you click on them while holding alt. You have to be right next to them too.

    No, thank goodness.

    Stand next to the corpse, or anny inaimate object that can be moved & Alt <click>. This works for draging things that are caught under things as well.

    Wait & see. You won't find all of them in one game, I bet.

    Thanks for the replies - I actually wanted holy men to come and try and take on my half-orc marauder. He's so much fun, always taking the violent options in dialog.

    As much fun as you'd have in your imagination dragging bodies around and pretending to be stealthy, I feel I have to tell the truth here.
    You don't need to hide bodies. Nobody freaks out seeing a body on patrol. Drag is just used if you want to search a body that's had another one fall on top of it.

    Actually, the guards always attack me when I'm right to the corpse I've slaughtered, but not if I'm far from it.

    And about the voices... besides those nutcase mentioned there're:

    Geoffrey Tarellond-Ashe; in the Ashbury cemetery.
    Torian Kel; in the Derian-Ka Temple.
    Gar; at H.T. Parnell's in Tarant.
    Frankiln Payne; in his house in Black Root.
    And Kan Hua, Elder Joachim, Kerghan the Necromancer, Min Gorad, Simeon Tor... but none of them are NPC.

    When does Frank appear? I have been all through Blackroot and have never found him! He is the famous poacher guy right?

    Payne is an adventurer, not a common poacher. Check his house before you go off to look for Nasrudin's final resting place.

    I have NO idea what you just wrote, but I'll trust it was an excellent argument for required registration. :/

    Xybyte, Your signature should be: You have now attempted to read a quality message brought to you by Xybyte. I think he meant: Not long until they'll Spam either.

    You know what annoys me even more than their atrocious gravedigging. The fact they're gravedigging such stupid topics with such stupid responses. Come on! If you're going to be an ass and gravedig at least be a smartass and do it right, not a friggin dumbass saying how you like Frank Payne's accent.

    Well, perhaps we should change the title of the thread to "How NOT to behave at the House of Lords forum", mark that really stupid post in red, and make it a sticky so newbies know that's WRONG. :D
