Drizzt consequences for killing / letting the monsters kill him

[FluffyGuy]

" kill Drizzt. This is extremely difficult, and will reduce party's reputation. It will also have consequences if the character gets imported into Baldur's Gate II."
What are the consequences if I import this character and do I still have the consequences if I didn't do the killing like I let the monsters killed him because I wasn't powerful enough to kill him

In my game I lost Imoen when I killed him. I did one good deed then she let me kill him lol. This was 100 years ago though. I was always only as evil as she let me be

Not sure if this qualifies as spoiler, but, just in case:

When you find Drizzt later in BG2 Chapter 6 as random encounter, you will have to fight him... he will remember you from BG1 and the fact that you attacked him and so he will attack you with all his companions, AFAIK with no possible way to avoid that by dialogue (but I might be wrong though!) and he's, all of them are, pretty boosted there... it's a very hard fight, from what I heard.

I never killed Drizzt myself so I don't know... always play ~good characters so no reason to attack him. But if you're curious, there's probably videos on YT of that encounter.

Besides, if you manage to kill him, you'll then have to deal with a different kind of hassle later :/ Malchor Harpell[forums.beamdog.com]

The monsters you summoned? lol

If you meant the monsters around him, could you explain your strategy for getting themm to do this? I remember this fight being the most difficult fight in the game without cheesing.

Hmm... good question, I don't honestly know what'd happen then :/

EDIT: BTW, How did the Gnolls managed to be able to kill him? :P He normally ploughs through them like a lawnmower :D

This is what im saying. I forgot about the enemies before befcause I spent so long trying to figure out how to kill him lol. I thought of him as the cliche "optional hardest boss"

Im playing the first time in 10+ years with a scimitar feat from the start just for his loot and the BG2 encounter lol

if you get close enough to "spawn" the monsters around him but not him and walk away, they will kill with 20 crits* then i took his stuff, never got the box to say yes or no to helping ( or if evil you can say you will help the monsters)

Well, apparently, if I'm reading the dialogue files correctly (and I'm not an expert mind you) it seems that even if the game thinks you killed him, there's a way to deescalate the enmity through dialog, as long as you take the correct dialogue options...

In any case there's a single global variable that controls whether he remembers you killed him or not:

Global("BG1DrizztItem","GLOBAL",1)

So you could just set it to 0 using the console when you start your BG2 game if you want to correct your "mistake" :)

I think that's set to 1 IF you take his stuff and not if you killed him... so if you took his Scimitars, chances are you'd marked as having killed him.

It is not that complicated. Drizzt in BG2 will only attack you if you carry his items (hence the global variable - note that it is not easy to import his items into BG2, it certainly doesnt happen automatically in singleplayer, you need multiplayer or a custom party character) or if you taunt him to attack you. It doesnt matter what you did in BG1 at all.

He will also attack you if you create an elf ranger named drizzt and have a bad rep. I believe the global is set when you import a character with drizzts items in your inventory at game start.

Seriously? That's hilarious.
