Anyway, despite being so awesome, he really got the short end of the stick when it came to BioWare's treatment of him. Despite being the coolest Tiefling Bard around, he barely gets any spotlight beyond getting himself captured twice. I'm gonna change that, if not for the players of the mod, but for myself.

Aim

To show everyone how awesome Haer 'Dalis is, of course.

Ideas

1)A Friendship Track for both genders. This could give CHARNAME a chance to convince Haer 'Dalis to make a shift to a Good alignment. (might have to talk to JPS about stuff for his Haer 'Dalis romance on this one)

2) A few Haer 'Dalis-specific encounters. Isn't HD supposed to be a wanted man? Some bounty hunters and people of the like should come after him, I say.

3) If Haer 'Dalis is unhappy with the way CHARNAME treats him during the Friendship (ie; if the Friendship is cut off), he will attempt to stop him from killing Irenicus. This was inspired by the UB topics of Imoen being released on Suldanessalar in Slayer form, and HD stopping CHARNAME from killing her. 


DISCUSSION THREAD:

Kae:

I definately think that some bounty hunters etc coming to get him are a brilliant idea.

How about a way to clear his name? Bribery is always good.. wink And how about a meetup in ToB with Haer's old troupe? Reunions are good smile



Tameon:

Reunions are good! However, for what reasons would they be in Tethyr? Ohhh, I got a good idea! Maybe they could be plane walking and accidentally stumble on the Pocket Plane!

Perhaps they could follow an escaping bounty hunter into another plane, which could take them to where they're coming from? That way, they could go to the headguy and bribe him to stop sending people after Haer 'Dalis? Or would the idea of a "head bounty hunter" be too cheesy, ala K-Z and the head slaver?



Kae:

Can't we just assasinate someone?

I think you should have to bribe several people. Several hard to find people,



Tameon:

But why would they be in Amn if the bounty hunters aren't of the Prime Material plane?



theacefes:

In NWN and Morrowind, you have to go through a lot of ppl to get an info out of anyone...that was oneof the things that disappointed me in BG was how easy talking to ppl was.



Kae:

Who said they had to be in Amn? wink And who said you actually had to MEET them? There are other methods of communication in the Realms, aren't there?

I just think the whole killing someone thing is a bit cheesy. Bribery is a complicated process, and if you are found out perhaps your reputation could suffer. So you would have to handle it carefully, avoid contact with the person(s) being bribed.



Tameon:

Sorry if this seems dense, but care to suggest how one would bribe with someone who they cannot meet? Confused



Kae:

A wealthy person never does things himself - he has lackeys and underlings to do that for him. Imps who can carry letters, talking to underlings, there are many ways to bribe someone you never meet.

Umm.. yeah. I'll stop suggesting impossible things now Razz



Moongaze:

That's more true than impossible, though. It'd be interesting to deal with this mystery high-authority person.



Feuille:

True, true!



Aside from the quest - I don't think HD would be good. It just doesn't seem in his character to me...



Arconian:

I agree with Feuille, HD is just too...unstable to become a good guy. Too fascinated with doom and destruction if you ask me smile



Feuille:

Yeah - and as *chaotic* as that is, I don't know how *good* it can be either.



Tameon:

Yeah, you're probably right. I wasn't all that sure about the alignment change. So, Haer 'Dalis will stay Chaotic Neutral, then.
