Brax's secret identity...

Seems like Brax occasionally moonlights as Lord Dredmor! Proof: http://s101.photobucket.com/albums/m64/sunaseth/Wat/?action=view&current=imscared-1.png

I killed him and proceeded to win the game. As it turns out, the enemy wasn't an evil overlord so much as it was capitalism.

 

Can confirm Brax having a secret identity, though I cannot say if killing him wins the game. I'm on permadeath and I do want to win

EDIT: Build wasn't all that viable anymore and I wanted something, so I decided to go ahead and bust Dredbraxens head...
You do in fact win the game.

Ok ok I've calmed down now

 

lol, it's true! I use "Five-Finger Discount", kill him and my game over.
I think this is a problem only for those characters who have taken skill "Burglary".

Well I found a red dragon on the ice level earlier and the big blues have all had their names changed it seems, I figured that was just part of the update since I recall it being particularly icy-sounding.

I'd go back on that save to check, but since I killed not-Brax I only get the 'congraturation' screen and can't go back into that particular save! Feel a bit cheated, honestly, but what're ya gonna do eh? I'm running a new character for the hell of it.

Oh, I also noticed a trap hitting something named Big Red but I couldn't find it, so it must've been off in the dungeon somewhere. And I did get the 'Accidents happen' achievement on Steam from pissing Braxmor off, too... and then I got the achievement for beating the game, too, naturally.

All in all it made me chuckle, but I didn't notice too much weirdness besides that, and have no way to check.

 

I do have burglary in that skill set...
EDIT:
Burglary, Vampirism, Unarmed Combat, Assasination, Berserker, Fungal Arts, Archaelogy.
Also, the save still exists after killing Braxmor, are you supposed to keep the save after killing the real Dredmor?

 

Shit, I took burglary too, I should've mentioned that. Should I mention the rest of my skills there? Probably, let's boot up the game to check.

Swording, Dual Wielding, Dodging, Perception, Burglary, Assassination, and Smithing. If it helps.

 

I closed the game and re-launched it, am able to use that save again. Haven't legitimately killed Dredmor yet so I can't tell you if they let you keep the save as bragging rights or not.

EDIT: that's the last from me, I've got class, will check later tonight to see what's up, this seems like a pretty massive bug and I'm so proud of myself for noticing that Dredmor =/= Brax

 

No burglary= normal Brax for me. Only other skill we share is assasination, I had that activated and there was no Drax. I guess that means burglary causes it. I need to refrain from beating the game early now since I always pick Burglary

Fanny, "Burglary" hacking a game

 

I've got burglary too and my brax is playing drag queen too.

 

Yeah just tested with random skills + Burglary shows Brax to be normal.

 

UPD:Yes, its only in ALL old saves, in new saves Brax normal.

 

Ok, good to know Too bad, no beating GR on level 1...
Well, back to the drawing board...

 

I noticed this immediately (coz I was saved inside a shop), but since I'd never actually seen Dred before I just assumed they'd changed Brax's appearance.

Now I've GOT to kill him

 

It may be only in old saves but you can start a new game then immediately save it, kill braxmore, load the newly saved game and immediately win.

 

I found the behaviour stopped even in an old save when I moved to a new level in the dungeon (one I hadn't been to before).

I had LD as Brax on level 5 but on level 6 he's back to normal.

 

There is a bug that seems to replace Brax with Dredmor. Apparently he counts as Brax if he kills you (gives you the killed by Brax achievement) but if you kill him he counts as killing Dredmor. He also uses Dredmor's skills, with a fireball and lightning bolts and stuff. In addition to this bug, it makes you automatically win a game when you load a game of any type or difficulty. HUGE bug that completely destroys the game, I'm not sure how they missed something this major in the beta for the patch.
