*Spoilers* Nok-Nok Quest

[Whitman1855]

So what happens overall if you're lawful good and let him build his little Goblin commune? What does it affect negitivly? Does it affect approval with other companions etc?

[LordSerion]

It may affect his ending but I am not certain

[Bob of Mage]

I haven't noticed any major fallout. I mean there was the odd time when one of my other followers seemed to say they disapproved if they were in my party, but that was it.

Jhod gets pretty sarcastic about Nok-Nok in general, and Ekun clearly can't stand him. They won't quit their jobs or anything; they just make snide remarks.

In Season of the Bloom, your confrontation with unhappy townsfolk is a little more difficult if you've let the goblins hang around...but you're probably already past that point when Nok-Nok starts building stuff.

Overall, do whatever your character likes with Nok-Nok. Early bugs where he (or the giant that followed him back to Oleg's place) caused unresolvable problems are long-since fixed; his impact both on your kingdom and on your party cohesion will be minor.

I've only ever convinced him to be a jester, so I missed out on his totem quests, I just don't want his quests to mess with the Valerie romance. It's hard to take his chaotic evil alignmeant seriously. lol He's more chaotic neutral imo.

In my last run before I quite because of bugs, I played neutral good all the way in terms of overall kingdom, yet still supported him whenever possible. Spurred him to become a "hero"

The only negative was Jhod complaining, but Jhod is the Pepperidge farm of priests so his complaints on that occasions were meaningless to me since the goblins are actually mostly harmless once you help Nok Nok become their chief.

Plus they do unlock the goblin lair building which is one of the very few ways to improve espionage which you absolutely need to improve as much as possible before reaching Pitax.

Jhod is such an ass, lol, he's done more evil in the game than Nok-Nok lol, e.g. banishing a bunch of silent monks just because he doesn't understand their religon. lol

Yeah at first I liked him, but after a while his closed mindedness got on my nerves.

Teaching Nok-Nok to be a hero was the most genuinely heartwarming moment of the game. Jhod is useless, and Ekun is a genocidal serial killer who would be Lawful Evil in any sane universe; they can both pound sand.

I overall didn't have a problem with him that much, he was my high priest as in my mind he's the only viable option, Harrim is out and Tsanna is definitely out. He strikes me as very conservative and provincial but overall a good guy. If you read his resolutions when on kingdom missions, he tries to talk it out, avoid bloodshed and solve things peacefully. Erastil is a lawful good god.

But he's basically like that uncle who always wants you to go to church, wear a tie and clean up.

It's grating but I can work with it. A lot of the cults he suggests to banish when he asks to talk to you are actually evil cults in Pathfinder lore (Speakers of the depths being the big one he tells you about, which you can grind their idols to dust) he might not know and it might just be his conservatism talking but he is right (if for the wrong reasons)

I brought Ekundayo on Nok-Nok quests and I don't remember him reacting very strongly at all(do note, his problem is with trolls in specific). I think he might have had some sort of "Seriously" reaction to shrine of Lamashtu, but otherwise didn't really care.

Anyhoo, funny thing about Harrim if he is high priest: At final rank up event when advisor tells you the overall results of all previous choices, he was like "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? People are actually living happily here and not embracing the inevitable end!" :D

Anyway, yeah, Harrim promotes religious freedom, but he also thinks "Maybe those cultists are doing human sacrifice for good cosmic cause?". Also Speakers of the Depths are CN, but they are also SUPER insane. Like Protean religion is basically "CHAOS CHAOS RANDOMNESS END OF ORDER AND LAWS OF PHYSICS". Worshipping deity from plane that grinds all other planes into entropic maelstrom(hehe get it) isn't probably a good thing for most people :D
