    I installed the multiple strongholds mod after I had completed the D'arnise Keep quest. Is there a way to go back and take over that stronghold? (I'm a sorcerer).

    I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that, aside from perhaps messing with variables, you're out of luck for the Keep.

    No, you can't get the keep if you finished it before you installed the mod. You should however, be able to get all the remaining strongholds. All things considered, the D'Arnise keep isn't the most exciting stronghold anyway. There are a lot of things to do, but very little in the way of experience and items, and if you take the "good" path through the keep, you actually end up spending more money than you make.

    Yeah, but I'm CN and want to stick it to the Roevalls (out of friendship with Nalia and desire to cause havoc). What happens if I trash the Roevall estate in the Government district?

    (and what are good strongholds? They all seem kind of wimpy)

    Ok, I give up, where did you get the strongholds mod from? I've searched the sorcerors place "games" section and the pocket plane & I can't find mention of it.

    I forget the url, it's the weimer guy. www.weidu.com or www.weidu.de, or do a google search on Baldur's Gate + Weidu or + Weimer.

    It has lots of cool mods--Solaufein, Valen, Kelsey, Ease of Play (the best mod ever--unlimited potion/gem/weapon stacking, plus lots of other little useful things).

    Oh right, it's actually part of the ease of use mod, not a seperate one.

    Cheers

    SPOILER


    Actually, sticking it to the Roenalls at the end of the stronghold related quests is the "good" path. If you have Nalia in your party you most definitely will be visiting the Roenalls in the Government district, whether you intend to or not.

    Well, but what about randomly showing up at their house and stealing stuff?

    I don't think you can get into the house other than by doing the quest. When you go to enter the house you get a message saying something about either "the lock being unpickable" or "the door is barred from the other side" or something like that. I'm pretty sure you just can't go in an steal stuff.
