DONT kill the guy if u are doing Valerie romance becouse it will block you from her best ending i know the items are very alluring but if u RLY RLY RLY want them that much i suggest dont kill him and add them with bag of tricks mod u can live even with out them we just taking about +2 def at most with both armor and shield and +1 atk from +4str u should by now alrdy have a +4 str +4con so dont bother as much and u should have lots of rings +2 a free one is 8k gold worth that u didnt spend but whatever i think keeping the romance going for the best ending is far better option than all his above
