quiet everyone! if the modders find out the'll fix it! never tell things like that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> now they'll go looking for it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> but it hought that that one was already 'fixed'. however, i do think i know who it is, but you should be still able to get the money by killing the person, due to autoloot.

i'll send you a PM with the answer to your guestion.

All the quest characters have their money set by QUEST_CHAR_MONEY in InternalSettings.h. I'm sure certain modders would like to see this set at 5,000. I prefer the stock game amount of 1,000,000 myself.

Getting that particular character's money is a fun quest. You not only have to kill him to get his money, but you have to get away too. I always thought that the million was a nice windfall for someone willing to take a chance and do a bit of work at the start of the game. And a really nice surprise for a beginning player.

And I leave it number at 1,000,000. A million doesn't go very far when you're trying to raise your reputation by giving to the church. Nor does it raise your fame a lot when you divide the loot. Sure, you can buy any weapons and armor you want, and can buy any ship available. But you still have to find weapons, armor and ships.

The *real* windfall comes from capturing the three French ships guarding Oxbay, then sacking the fort. It's worth about 20 million total. Divide the loot after that and you get to be Scourge of the Archipelago, still 2 ranks down from the max fame. For 20 million. You know, a million doesn't buy much fame. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Anyone know how to kill the other character that appears in that quest? I've never been able to do it.

well, if it is the person i think you mean, you can do it via dialogue. just be aggressive. i'm pretty sure that it hurts your reputation though.
