Okay, so I just recruited Kagain as a frontline fighter since I ditched Minsc and Dynaheir. First fight he's participating in, a cave bear jumps out of the woods at High Hedge and attacks. Kagain is at it, but gets mauled badly. CHARNAME as a cleric heals him, heals him again, the bear lands another left-right-uppercut combo on Kagain, who panicks. Nobody there to raise his morale (I should have brought Garrick), but the bear is brought down by the power of Helm and Rasaads Wakizashi.
Guess what happens next? Kagain pulls an XCOM on me, loses his shit and attacks Rasaad. I start running in circles, hoping he'll pull himself together, and looking for "Hold Person" spells. Of course, I got none. Montaron and CHARNAME run after him with bare fists, trying to knock him unconscious. They manage to do so, unfortunately Rasaad tries to defend himself as well... and you know that special thing about monk fists.
Needless to say, Kagain had to be carried out with his feet forward. I'm playing a minimum reload game, so I carry him to the Morningsong Temple to revive him because, hey, at least he tried. Plus he's a funny guy, and although he's evil, Rasaad felt sorry about his fist slipping. Those Lathander guys must've seen me coming, however, because Raise Dead suddenly cost 200 gold coins. It was only half that a few days ago when Imoen bought the farm. Still, what's an honorable CHARNAME to do...
I gave Kagain a chainmail shirt as a present and a heartfelt 'sorry' from Rasaad, and dumped him right back in his shop. Sorry, Kagain, it just didn't work out for us. I hope he won't get jealous at Ajantis.
Long story short, did anyone ever experience this in vanilla BG or the EE? I didn't, and I'm wondering whether Beamdog put panicky NPCs attacking you in as a new feature, maybe even a nod to the also-revived XCOM. 'twas fun either way, though.
