Ok, I am playing the quest of the Great Sigil Stone. I was wondering, If Jauffre and Baurus have to die. I made it back through the large gate and they were lying dead. When I ask some of the NPC'S None have to option to talk about them. So do they have to die? is it part of the story? If not I am going to load my save and re-do that part. ASAP on anyone who could answer my question, I don't wanna move ahead further into the story if those characters aren't scripted to die. I like them both they are good NPC's.

No, they were not supposed to die. You can only continue if you reload.

Well, this is certainly awkward, as i've clearly been misinformed on the entire ending of the main quest... every time that they've died then I've reloaded.

I certainly feel stupid now.

nah the only time you have to worry about that is near the end of the main quest or when escorting Martin

Beth Soft have made NPC's needed for the main quest "essential" meaning they won't die until they aren't needed anymore (anyone with a crown as an icon when talking) At the beginning of the MQ, you will see them on everyone involved, then as you progress they begin to be removed, hence why Baurus and Jaufree are killable

Well do they still have new topics for conversation? If not I won't re-do.
