In the Redmption old version that you are going to play Irenicus can only join you inside the Throne of Blood after Melissan summons him to fight you - and he will only offer to do so if you have a slot in the party for him. The Solar will warn you if you go inside with all 6 party members.
You can use any
ToB-Ascension save I think. In order to convince Irenicus you need to be of non-evil align. If you get him, you cannot get Bodhi.
Also, right now I am working on the mod that will give PC a chance to get Irenicus for entire
ToB - like Sarevok. But it is not finished yet. My approximate time of release is end of Summer.
Check the Redemption- Longer Road forum for that mod.
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.
