Leyton (official character thread)

Maybe he'll give us a puzzle where we have to corral 17 grabbits using 5 pieces of rope.

As for whether he'll betray us, Bioware defectors tend to stay -- er... defected. They might return to their place of origin, but tend to be faithful to the protagonist during the game (e.g., Legion, Miranda, Sten, Dorian, Zevran -- ok, maybe Zev isn't the best example). Although this may just apply to companions/squaddies. It'll be interesting to find out.

I felt the same way, Coldy.  I didn't know him well enough to vouch for him and say that he should be allowed to stay; also, my responsibility to the Fort out-weighed whatever relational status I may have had with him or Nadira.  So I convinced Tassyn to allow him to work for her.  Plus, as much as I may have begun to like him when we talked....Like you, Coldy, when I first triggered him it did creep me out, and after that I just felt like I couldn't really trust him, and I wouldn't have wanted something bad to happen in the Fort because I said he should stay.  And as much as I may have liked Nadira, given that she was a spy by trade and had been influenced by her association with Leyton, I didn't like having the two of them in such close proximity to each other.  I also felt that it would be best for her to be as far away from Leyton's influence as possible, so I told her she had to leave the Fort.

I'm just curious (and worried) that the choices I make such as this....well, I'm wondering if there are any consequences and/or far-reaching implications and outcomes that impact the rest of the game.  (Does the choice you make in NPC interactions like this really make a difference?   Or is it simply a binary choice with no real outcome?)    I guess we'll have to wait and see....
