Crazy question - Does it exist?

I've read some walk-throughs and they note some places where you lose it, but none on where you gain it. And I've found nothing in the game screens stating what my party reputation is.

Any help here?

[Andyr]

It exists (Rangers and Paladins can Fall) but IIRC nothing else changes it, and it is not visible to the party.

So, aside from Falling, I'm pretty sure nothing affects it.

You gain it and you loose, all over the game. The reputation and quest XP system in IWD is more ballanced than in BG2. Also, in IWD, there are many checks for your stats when you receive or report quests.

Thanks, Vlad.

Any idea if there's an in-game way to check it? As I said earlier, I don't see any reference to reputation on any of the screens... Having to exit the game and check it with Dale Keeper just doesn't have much appeal.

I don't think there's in-game way to check your rep.
If you're so inclined, you could perhaps write a simple player script that will DisplayStringHead your current rep when assigned to a char though

Well, as I'm playing IWD only in BG2 environment I cannot help you with the interface of IWD. In BG2, it is not a problem.

its on your record sheet under proficiencies with your THAC0 and lore

Right, in the IwDEE and IWDinBG2, cause it's surely not the Number of Attacks you indicate it to be:

This is from the original game, as there, it's not shown anywhere, which is what grogerson's original post was about.

As to how it effects the game, you get a strait cheaper equipment if it's high enough and to my memory, there is only a few quest rewards that give reputation, so much so that as your start reputation is 10 by default, it's cheapest to buy the reputation by donating to the temples. Fun fact, the original in game tables(reputati.2da) do not tell you that you would be able to do this either, as they show that the amount sum would be zero, but I am sure can.

In any save game folder, party Reputation is at offset 54h in your Icewind.gam file.

It is found also in the individual Cre files for each party member at offset 44h.

Yeah, with a hex editor... it's not like everyone of us has them. And yes, the NearInfinity is one, but that not the same as the game itself. And were you to go and change it in the hex editor, what would happen if say one had 20 and all the others had it as 8 ?

Not you being difficult again...

Just alter all six embedded Cre files, as well as the Gam file.
