I'm glad we can avoid fighting all the kobolds in the Mountain pass

[Nyaria]

The amount of ways you can either sneak around them or just avoid them entirely is nice. Just a buncha silly little lizards dancing and drinking, no evidence they've done anything except move into a dead monastery and started drinking the wine abandoned there.

They are such goofy little fellas. Still sad Dragonborn don't get any dialogue options with them.

Are you sure you put it on the right place? :D

It worked for me, 3 ceremonial weapons + 1 random sh*t.

Yup, it's the one for the mace.

I sadly had to fight them. But I stashed away 4 of the barrels that contain kobolds at camp and I'm happy to report that if I place them in camp and break them the Kobolds still spawn :D
So I have a few pickled kobolds to break out when I need one :P

I hit them, in melee, with fiery weapons.

You don't need the ceremonial weapons to get the relic. You just need to be able to destroy the relic's defenses before time runs out.

Then you can go back and clean up the kobolds. Because why not?

those cute kobolds will go on to grow in number, and start to brutally murder the farmers nearby if left uncheked.

only good kobolds are dead kobolds. Literally. Vermin-type creatures.

Why go through all that trouble of destroying the relic's defenses.

What farmers? They're wedged between an abandoned village and the land of shadow-nope. xD

This is why i wish it was possible to play as a KOBOLD as then you could just talk to them, and maybe they would give you some wine. Or at least not see your party as a threat

Because it takes like 3 minutes instead of going around and collecting a bunch of crap.

Kobolds tend to at least have a slightly higher opinion of dragonborn than most other races. :P

There's a few kobolds later in the game you can chat to, and get some dragonborn dialogue options with. Now I just wish I could make my small spite lizard and murder every gnome in sight.

Depends on the Kobolds, as the majority of them worships Tiamat, and those stab you to death without much talking, Larian saw the race name and made assumptions. Dragonborns have near to null connections to actual dragons.

Actually Kobolds have their own god and dragonborns were possibly created by dragons to be slaves but a certainty that they were enslaved by dragons for a long time. Near null is a stretch, they have alot of connections to actual dragons, well the ones on Abeir anyway.

People like you are why fantasy worlds are a mess. You kill kobolds on sight like any other vermin. I guess it's fun when they kill innocent people and such, but heck they seem fun.

Look, ever since Deekin people have a soft-spot for the tiny wanna-be dragons. They tend to overlook the fact that until MC came along Deekin was bullied and abused on the regular for being too "Soft" and "Weird", and was spared only because Tymofarr smelled the draconic potential in him or something and made him a personal plaything. Deekin was atypical, not the norm. And that's what made him special.

Honestly the fact kobolds are often depicted as Tiamat worshippers is such a shame, the Kobold Pantheon is pretty good, not everything has to revolved around Tiamat.

But if you worship Tiamat, she transforms you into an Abishai once you die.

For those who don't know, the Abishai are a unique hierarchy of Draconic Devils.

Kurtulmak has words with that assumption. But yeah, its not uncommon for kobolds to also send a few prayers to the different dragon gods. But dragonborn aren't related to dragons, they were made BY dragons, which at least makes them somewhat better than, say, human or elves in the correct dragon centric world view.

In their first, original depiction, Dragonborn were people who underwent a transformation ritual to become paladins of Bahamut. As long as they maintained his ideals, they got to keep their draconic forms. But if they broke their tenets and fell, they went back to being whatever race they were before.

Obviously this lore has been retconned, but it's still cool to know.
