Odd Global Variables

Post by Slayer296 »

Okay, I was looking through the Global Variables using SK when i noticed 2 that caught my eye. Specifically, they are:

Name Value
AerieTransform 2
JaheiraTraitor 1

If anyone can tell me I'd be very impressed. THanks. :)

AerieTransform - I belive that it is variable that is checked to determine whether Aerie has her normal skin or ogre skin.

JaheiraTraitor - I saw this variable in her script files but I still don't know what does it mean - maybe Jaheira betrays you if your reputation is low enough during Harper quests - I heard also that she betrays you if you do not want to do druid quests in Trademeet - but as I said before I'm not certain about this matter.
So sayeh

Hmn, as I went on a killing spree in Athkatla during the Harper quest(got my rep to about 2 or 3), Jaheira didn't leave or anything like that...

Jaheira traitor could be referring to the point where she 'betrays' the Harpers by siding with you (during Dermin's second visit IIRC )

@Brink : It could be that. In one of dialogues "Harpers" even claims that she is traitor but I checked Dialog.tlk and found there diary entry - something like "Jaheira betrayed me (PC)" and it was connected with trademeet quests - I will try to find exact dialogue when I have the time.
So sayeh

Somewhere here was posted about: Jahera leaves your side and fights against you if you engage some NPC you're supposed never to fight. Not sure, but, IMHO, Drizz might be one of them.
One thing i know for sure: it happens if you start fight Harpers in Harpers' Hideout at your first visit here, for example, if you are caught pickpocketing or if you attack any Harper. She is loyal Harper at first place, after all.

Well, during my second play through the first part of the game, I killed the spirits on the first floor, Jaheira didn't do anything, nor did anyone below. No idea what the consequenses are for doing that, but I'll see. At least it was fun killing them :cool:

P.S.: I might want to mention the 9000 exp I got for every one of them, and besides them having a fear attack, they're pretty harmless :D

Let you try to *pickpocket* and *be caught* on the ground floor, then we'll see, those shadows do no count, i know.

P.S. Sorry, forgot English apporach on floor counting :)

Hey, I never said anything against that, just that the harper spirits don't seem to affect anything in the game, at least not as far as I have played until now ;)

Jaheira was really pissed off when I poisoned the druid grove.
I think she actually attacked me, I reloaded immediately, so I'm not sure but that might be it.

FYI, JaheiraTraitor is a global that gets set when Jaheira sides with you against Galvarey.

Manveru - Check dialog JAGALVAR; that's where it's set.
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.
