I never really liked Xzar's quest in BGII, or rather its outcome. While looking for mods that would offer me some alternatives, I found even more than one, so which one would you recommend?
Of course, I'm looking for a solution which doesn't get Xzar killed or at least allows you to seek revenge on Harpers for using you ;)

I usually have SimDing0's Quest Pack installed, which has a "Alternative Xzar/Harpers Plot" Component. In it, you can either tell the Harpers you're working for Xzar and help them in their assassination scheme or you can decide to betray the Harpers and tell Xzar of the "canary" plot.
The mod's readme can be found here.
Enjoy! :)

Thank you, this one sounds good :) I shall use it for my next run.

Nice one. For all that he's evil, I feel sorry for poor old Xzar. He is amusing, after all.
Would be nice if you could resurrect Monty, too.

Of course, you do get revenge on the Harpers anyway, so long as you have Jaheira with you...

But it's not immediate ;) I've already tried this part of the quest pack and I'm satisfied :D But you have to do something ugly to Jaheira if you want to go through this...

It always annoys me that the harper assassin runs off before you can kill her. I've got in a good few blows beforehand, mind you... (I guess killing her is possible but I usually find I get this quest early when I've only 1 or 2 NPCs along and am still low level).

I managed to kill her once, but it wasn't the option programmers had predicted, so I couldn't even talk to Xzar later or anything ;/ With quest pack, she is killed, the rest of harpers may be slaughtered and Montaron resurrected... or, knowing Xzar, turned into one of his creations.

I am with Egon Ruuda. Where do I find the real monty if I don't have TDD installed?


Low hung brow, dazed look on your face..... It appears that you are correct, my friend. You are indeed a complete imbecile.

When you open chest (x 1495 y 500) at 2nd Floor of Harper's Hold (AR0309) it fires script MONTBODY.BCS:

 

IF
    Dead("Lyros")
    Global("BodyCreation","AR0309",0)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        SetGlobal("BodyCreation","AR0309",1)
        CreateItem("MISC5U",0,0,0)
END

IF
    GlobalGT("D0Harpers","GLOBAL",5)
    Global("BodyCreation","AR0309",0)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        SetGlobal("BodyCreation","AR0309",1)
        CreateItem("D0MISC5U",0,0,0)
END

So Xzar must be dead or global D0Harpers must be 6 or more.

 

Never tried D0Questpack alternate solution:

Spoiler

So i don't know how it goes.

 

But if you don't have TDD installed why do you need Montaron's Body, are you some kind of body collector. :P
