Pangaea666: I understand that this is one item that can be transferred into BG2, and I assume that is still the case when playing with BGT. However, getting it is part of a quest. I've done that, but it seems impossible to keep the darn thing while completing the quest. The chap that gets it vanishes into thin air before you can blink. Is there a way, or must I simply not go back to him with it, or maybe kill him on site?
Hickory: You don't have to do the quest if you don't want to. You can... *cough*... stumble upon the helmet and just take it.
The XP whore in me shudders in disbelief and soulcrushing horror, but I guess that's the only solution.
(Okay, we went back and killed the guy, he didn't seem very nice anyway).
A different issue, is that Firebead seems to have got a bit of a walking problem. Went looking through Beregost because I remember there was a guy *somewhere* wanting a book, and finally found him. But he kind of twitches around a bit, walking towards us, but without initiating dialogue, and I can't initiate it with him either. Either doing it so late has caused an issue, or something else is messed up somewhere.
GeistSR: You'd have to kill him extremely quickly. Surround him with fighters, use wands, potions of fire breath - anything to drop him fast.
It doesn't work, at least not in BGT. The game autopauses when those 'friends' of his show up, I order all of us to attack him (need to force attack as default action is talk), but the instant I unpause the game he simply vanishes into thin air on the spot. I'm guessing there has been a script change so it's now impossible to kill him to get the helmet.
So instead I decided to attack him without dialogue. Bit odd his friends didn't show up, but he died and we retained the helmet.
