    As far as I could tell, there are 2 solutions...

    1. Side with the Orcs (evil)
    2. Side with the law, and convince the orcs to come out of the factory, envoking their deaths (good?)

    Is there not a third option? (Other than leaving the problem be) I dunno....Causing the death of all the orcs seemed kinda barbaric to be the "good" option.

    I never found another way either. I though about killing the cops first and then letting the orcs out, but that doesn't make sense.

    When you say "Siding with the Orcs" which you view as evil, do you mean killing the humans or helping Damon thingy (the leader) to slip away?

    I wouldn't say helping him slip away is evil, since it closes the whole thing without bloodshed any is quit an anti-racism gesture.

    If you've never had this option, it may be due to low IN or persuasion.

    The councilman. I kind of found out about it accidently, because I didn't notice Wheeler (he looks too much like the other guards). I went straight to the councilman and just tried to say what I thought he wanted to hear (I use this tactic a lot :smile: )

    you officially get the quest from either the councilman BAbcock or Wheeler when they give you the keys to the warehouse...talking to them does not officially give you the quest...especially with the councilman who requires 3-4 points of persuasion before he gives it to you....












    <spoilers>
    to side with the orcs...you have to talk to the leader of the orcs and tell him to escape (this is the good quest) :smile:

    I can't remember what the trigger for the quest is exactly, but I think it is either going to Caladon or Quintara.

    In other words, it doesn't matter how long you wait, the quest won't appear until you come back from the right town.

    I'm not sure the paper-boy is even a trigger. I know it says he is on the TA quest walkthroughs, but I'm not convinced. Reading the paper can't hurt, but I wouldn't bother trying to read it 'at the right time' or anything.

    Just walk past the front of the factory whenever you're in town, and if there's a crowd there start talking to people.
