So most everyone here is familiar with Viconia DeVir, former priestess of Lolth that you save from certain death... or not.
From a gaming perspective, I save her because it nets me an early Plate in BG1 and is generally a cheap way to gain XP in both 1 and 2. But what about why my character would save her? Or neglects to save her, at any rate.
So let's play a little game, shall we? Post an alignment and a justification for saving Viconia, as well as a justification for not saving Viconia. Don't worry if someone else picked the alignment you wanted, just go with it!
I'll start with Neutral Neutral.
SAVE: She is a drow, murder is in her nurture.
DON'T SAVE: She is a drow, murder is in her nature.
