WTF... super high reputation to despised somehow

[jamesc70]

Before killing the bandits at their camp, my rep was high (always did the right thing).

Now my rep is despised somehow all of a sudden, after doing Durtag and a few areas. I never did anything evil, but there were NO warnings like you usually see when it goes up and down. Get attacked in every town.

I reload chap 4 start, and I'm despised there also, when I know for certain my rep was good and high then, because it was the last time I checked it.

Was going to finish BG1 then play BG2, but I'm done with these games now. Between bugs and crap like this, it simply kills any wish I have to play.

I'm certain there will be a BG3... please make it oustandingly clear, not lost in text window possibly, when rep changes... grrr.

Reputation change is accompanied with a specific sound, too, not only the message in the log.

Durlag's Tower and other areas with citizens/commoners bear a risk of killing them in friendly fire. You wouldn't be the first player who killed someone innocent accidentally.

Also, you can easily up your reputation by donating in the temple. It's a part of the game - killing an innocent by an AoE spell can lower the reputation but you can bring it back in temples.

Guessing you accidentally killed some civilians in a large battle as well. It's pretty easy to do especially if you're in a town. The only reason I noticed was that all my companions started leaving my party; somehow I missed the sound.

I don't think we'll ever see a BG3. Bioware has long since moved on to their own IPs. They're not doing anything in the DnD ruleset anymore, and I can't say I really blame them.

If it's a bug you can EEkeeper it I think ;)

Killing Drizzt auto-despised you, also, I think...

Yeah, Keeper can fix this, whether its a bug or if some innocent got caught in a little "friendly" fire.

EE Keeper is godly! I just wish more of the old mods would work, like Edwin Romance in BG 2 and the extended storey where you get Irenicus into your party...

I hate when you lose reputation for defending youself against hostiles. Generally why I dont have any respect for public opinion.

Yeah my evil party with a whopping rep of 6 was exploring the city of BG when some Harper guy just up and attacks me (what idiot attacks 6 armed people with only a dagger...). After his swift demise my rep drops to 4. Then I walk into a bar and some paladin guy attacks me. Again, being 1 on 6, that ends fast, but now my rep is a 1 and I can't move without flaming fist squads lining up to see who I can kill next.

Come on, we might be murderous scoundrels, but we were just minding our business when we were unprovokingly attacked. Given the fact that apparently everyone, everywhere knows when we kill some random person 4 towns away (drones, obviously), you think they would be a little more careful around us...

[EmotionallyBroken]

Just like real life, kill a cop defending youself and suddenly you're a national criminal.

[red255]

yeah, except you can donate to church to fix it in this game.

its not too bad. is kind of silly that you lose 10 Rep per cop and they all know it was you even with no witnesses, but you get 1 or 2 rep winning a war or something saving a city, and lose 10 for killing a hostile cop.
