What reputation does Imoen leave?

Remove all ads!

I have 6 reputation points. If I steal, I fight the guards and im down to 1. She leaves. But it's too annoying fighting the guards everywhere.

Also, what can I do to lower my reputation? With out killing some random. My character is evil, but he's not a serial killer.

Ive gotten as far as the bandit camp. I chose to join them, not fight. I tried searching, but there doesn't seem to be a thread about it.

 

IIRC, good NPCs will leave if your reputation goes below 5, while evil NPCs will leave if your reputation goes above 18. Neutral NPCs will leave if your reputation goes below 3.

I'd recommend downloading "NearInfinity". Some of the 2DA files might help you figure things out about some of the mechanics, especially the "REPUTATI.2DA" and "HAPPY.2DA".

Alternately, or maybe supplementary look on this site for some explanations of the 2DA files.

Honestly, I think reputation is implemented rather poorly in IE games. For a while there, I worked on a mod that would make playing an evil character more enjoyable. For example, you wouldn't lose reputation for killing someone without witnesses and reputation score wouldn't affect companions in such an arbitrary way. Unfortunately, I lost interest along the way and never finished it.

These days, I just use a modified HAPPY file to ensure that companions don't leave, even if your reputation score doesn't match their alignment.

 

According to the Mastering Melee and Magic Guide with BGEE:

• Good party members with break (leave) on a reputation of 1 or 2
• Neutral party members with break on a reputation of 1
• Evil party members with break on a reputation of 19 or 20

To keep Imoen from breaking you need at least a reputation of 3 (or change her alignment in EEKeeper).

To lower your reputation you can add a drow to the party(-2 for each). You can also just be a jerk in some of the quests -- for example at FAI you get a quest to find a woman's ring (Jolee?) if you demand a reward or keep it you get -1 to reputation. There are a lot of places where this kind of thing happens.

 

To be more precise, most companions are scripted to leave the party when their happiness score drops under -290. As you can see from the HAPPY table that was pasted by SlickRCBD, that happens at reputation 2 for good alignment, reputation 1 for neutral alignment, and at reputation 19 for evil characters. Modifying that file can remove that behavior.

Sorry, I thought it was something like -160. It's been a while since I looked into it. As in at least a decade. Hard to believe I first played over 20 years ago.

 

After the OGL fiasco, Paizo created a new open license (ORC) for licensing their books going forward. In their remastered Pathfinder 2E books, they have taken the chance to remove some of the more dated things, like the traditional alignment system.
