Irenicus is an interesting character because of his past and his actual present .
Remember chapter 7 ? Hell? Tests? Tears of Bhaal?
Irenicus probably had his own tests , and I would like to ask him "how was it" . The demons treated him badly for stealing Bhaal's essence? Did he choose one of the "good choices" ? Irenicus embraced the Slayer , or the Slayer embraced Irenicus?

That sounds fantastically interesting.
I sure will keep it in mind when writing future dialogs - thanks!
Freedom cannot be equated with goodness, virtue, or perfection. Freedom has its own unique self-contained nature; freedom is freedom ? not universal goodness. Any confusion or deliberate equalization of freedom with goodness and excellence is in itself negation of freedom, and acceptance of the path of restraint and enforcement.

Wow! That is one of those thoughts you kind of take for granted...you know Irenicus had to pass his own tests, but it was just one of those semi-comprehend things
LOL that was alot of BG2, I got so tired of so much script that I just clicked through it fast and didnt read...a product of playing for way too long at a time!

Regarding Irenicus' tests in hell, will any reference be made to Weimer's tactics Mod, which dramatically changes the final Shadows of Amn battle with Irenicus by allowing him to sunder himself into several different forms to reflect the tests he passed in hell.

@Venomblade
I liked the idea of the Sundering, but as with many of Weimer's mods, I think he focused too much on the final product and as a result, the implementation and overall practicality of the improved battle was poor. If we could improve the dialogues and take out Irenicus' little sleep cloud BS, then I'm all for it... but otherwise, I think it should be avoided.
Then again, I'm a purist who hated most of Tactics and sees Ease-of-Use as blasphemous cheating... so I might be a bit on the biased side. Just my two cents.
