[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9574282, member: 42856"] What? I expected a comforting tale of "We can't be sure, to be honest, but, Carr, you're our only hope" with lots of eyelid batting from Dalris. OK, I half-expected we'd die horribly as well. Why does he erase our spellbook? Out of spite? What's the potential positive outcome of doing that to someone who (1) is [I]still[/I] Landor's son and might become the next archmage to rival the gods in power? (2) might [I]still[/I] be, even if a coward, your only hope once Dalris and Beldon both get zapped by the Sceptre self-defence mechanism -- give Landor some credit that his alterations might actually function as expected (3) who would certainly, after such a jerk move, go to his uncle and tell him about their attack plans (4) even if not particularly irked, would go to the College Arcane to resume his wizardly education. I understand it's a "YOUR QUEST ENDS HERE" section, but there is no reason not to hop down to Freton (where you're sent) and knock at the door of Beldon's Academy. Oh, and BTW, is there a victory path if you shun Thayne and get to the academy, and open the door immediately, to finish the game satisfactorily without ever meeting Dalris? Let's hope the spells used by Landor cares about genetics and not legality. Because Beldon is Landor's brother-in-law, so should something happen to Carr, Beldon would become his heir and probably become able to open the door and fondle the sceptre as much as we wants. At this point, he isn't even close to unlock the door to Landor's appartment anyway. [/QUOTE]
