Hmm...
Slight Problem. I may have killed her every time. Actually, I did kill her every time. That sword was just too tempting.

The joy of CRPGs. No matter how many games you kill an NPC in (hello, Captain Morgan), that NPC can still appear in the next game.

We may also see Father Michael again from Book I and find out more about his treachery.

That's true - I hadn't thought about him. And what about the man he tried to have us poison? What ever happened to him?

I thought that guy died anyway soon after from the flesh-eating disease, but maybe not.

Wow, very cool thought - and one that makes a lot of sense.

Also, I just finished my seventh play-through of Book II. This build was a Ranger with some Divination buffing and Alchemy. She was by far my most successful warrior - she sliced through the Taurax like they were wimps.

So, as I was wrapping up the scene in Talushorn, I was thinking about Book III. There is one point where "you" are told that there is more to you than you know. That is obviously a set-up for Book III. Since you don't seem to be part Orakur, there is some sort of history yet to be revealed. Such fun!

[sarcasm]I don't know - I think being part Orakur would really help the plot advance...[/sarcasm]

You're thinking of Brudo.

No we won't. Don't you remember 'Treachery', CB's fanfic?

I'd definitely love to know how you came by that space in the underground repository in B1. It's such an interesting location, particularly since the guy running it was a goblin. It would be cool to encounter another repository (maybe a branch office) in B3, and thereby learn a bit more about it.

It would also be nice to learn more about that guy that hired you to kill Lilith, what his relationship was to her, and why he was after her sword.

When the beam of energy hits the Crux of Fire could there be the possibility that you were sent back or forward in time? Or do you remain in the current timestream? Dead characters could come back depending on this answer.

And, some more thoughts about the four Crux since they seem to be at the center of the story. You have one, the "One" has another and two are elsewhere. It would seem to me that your quests in Book III are going to be based on finding the other two. That's going to take a bunch of traveling and fighting. Can't wait.........

I mean Erubor, not Korren. Whoops.

That's too bad, Jedi_Learner. For that, you will have to cut down the tallest tree in Tanglewood Forest...with a herring.

Another thought with the whole time situation:

If I recall correctly, The "One" destroys the Crux of Fire at the end of Book II. If he does that, but we get sent back in time, does that mean that the Crux of Fire was never destroyed?, or rather, hasn't been destroyed yet?

At the end of Book II you are hurled into a jungle still clutching the Crux of Fire and nothing else.
