This is actually one of the best written quests, because it requires almost opposite approaches.Dumb as a rock (king wasn’t the one holding the kid) and preying on the weak because you can’t hang with the strong.
I was utterly surprised that I do not have to give up my precious alignment for some pesky urchin.Count Shimmerglow admits that he feasts on fear, and he finds the fear of the child most delicious. So a player can deny him his food by consistent good actions in the village, and during the final confrontation he does not have enough strength to harm Tig; or the player can instill fear into the whole village and bring Kagar as dessert. Then the Count is so glad that he gives up the child voluntarily; and the lizards remain to suffer.
It’s spectacular. If they could have kept that up the whole game the positive ratings would be 15% higher.
