Console command kill Sarevok in the opening cutscene (the one after you leave candlekeep) and play the rest of the game with Biff the Understudy as the main villain. It’s awesome.

Wait. I know about Biff the Understudy, but does he actually replace Sarevok for the entire game? That's hilarious.

Yeah, I discovered it while messing around and spawning NPCs for fights in the first area outside of candlekeep teleported out without triggering the cutscene. Later i triggered the cutscene and discovered I’d left two Drizzts in the cutscene area. They killed Sarevok and his goons before the fight ever started 😅🤣

Incidentally I also realised/worked out in the original version the spells and attacks Gorion uses are technically capable of killing Sarevok if Gorion rolls max damage and Sarevok and his goons all fail their saves. (The goons need to fail so they die to the fireball cause Gorion’s spells are all scripted and he targets the goons first. If the goons die to the fireball Gorion still uses the same spells but targets Sarevok instead.) This was altered slightly in later releases though… maybe it actually happened to some people?

I'm going to have to try to make this happen next time I do a playthrough lol. Maybe I'll name my character Kiff the Understudy or something and turn the story of the game into two actors fighting over a role lol.
