Talk:Marek and Lothander/@comment-68.168.174.211-20190726030101

I just finished the quest. I pickpocked both the geas cure (after paying to meet the lady who has it and agreeing to get the book for her, which I never did obviously) and Marek's half of the antidote. I did so after giving Lothander the geas cure scroll, at the place he tells you Marek most likely is. The 'finished' journal entry reads "I managed with the use of trickery to obtain the antidote from Marek. I believe it best ot avoid him in case he realizes what happened."

Now, while I think this is very cool, I also can't help but feel it is very silly. It's not like fighting him is some challenge, even by the game's fairly easy standards. One guy, doesn't appear to be anything special about him. Maybe my party of four is overleveled, but I kind of imagine most party's would tear through him with ease.

Does make me consider trying the game again with one character, avoiding combat as much as I can... but then, if I played the game through with all the ideas the game inspires, well... :)
