He's benevolent, so attacking him triggers the hivemind to kill you. Plus they're pretty tough.

I know that "attacking" him triggers the hivemind. What I'm hoping is that there's a way to make him hostile without calling in the hivemind. Like, I think if you have a vampire in a town, and stab them in the brain, the hivemind swarms you, but not if you denounce them as a night creature. But you can't do that to SPOILERmen.

The giant steel scorpion twisted into humanoid form associated with war and destruction distinctly points out that it is not in fact a night creature, and you are a racist.

Figures. I finally get a VOMIT SPOILERman.. I wanted to experience the pleasure of punching a SPOILERman and causing it to explode.

of course, I couldn't actually connect with the stupid thing the one time I tried, and my stupid companions perforated my lungs. D:

I would just ignore the quest until such time as you become a slaughtering machine. Then kill your way to another civilization and set up shop there.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Friendly creatures I think are always immune to throwing. I've at least never perforated the lungs of a teammate and activated the hive mind that way. Also....

You mean the one other civilization, right?

just mod yourself dragon fire or Kite some enemies over to assassinate the guy. there no limits to just walking a bandit leader and his marry men over to the god if you have the speed and skills to do so. or better yet walk out side light a tree toss one flamable item under the tree then throw the item back to the god.
some rumor about needing a high observer skill to see past his guise. though taking orders from a deity sounds much better than some royalty.
