I also want to make sure that the player, no matter how good they are at sneaking, will be forced to confront Blair. How do we do this? Easy, we script it. We will also design the quest so that you will have to kill Blair to move on to the next stage. We can also do this through scripts. | I also want to make sure that the player, no matter how good they are at sneaking, will be forced to confront Blair. How do we do this? Easy, we script it.
