There is also the question of CAN he be killed... The man is nearly a hundred years old, and looks 30! That bugged me a bit but honestly, a king needs to know what would be worth the resources to acomplish and i doubt reaver would go down without another civil war. The man is RICH and a baddass
Reaver is probably one of my favorite characters ever, and if you study everything there is about him, take note how he presents himself, etc, he's probably one of the best written characters in gaming out there nowadays, if not that, then definitely in the Fable series.
Bottom line, the man is downright charming.
I just can't stay mad at him!

What annoyed me the most about Fable 3 was once you were king, as I was preparing for the attack the days went from 250 until the attack to one day until the attack after 1 day of agenda. I assumed there being 250 days until the attack, I could go put the treasury in the negative and make the money back before, but no the game goes straight to one day before.
I had gone through the steps and choices and gotten out with a decent treasury. And I still had a lot of days left to atleast ad some more money to it. I bought up a lot of property to make money, then before I cooed make really anything on it BOOM it's time.
And then the huge battle only takes place in one place and consists of some fighting then a somewhat predictable boss fight, but I was expecting through the boss fight and most of the cutscene for the "real" bad guy to show up and is fight him (I mean, for half the game it was hyping up the darkness as the ultamite evil) and you end up fighting some possessed good guy.
C'mon, how could you get rid of a character voiced by Stephen fucking Fry?
And, to be fair, Reaver did try and kill the Hero of Fable 3. But, also, he did so because you had just walked into his house and started attempting to kill him.
I thought Reaver was an awesome character. And I wasn't even playing an evil guy.

We did? I thought we were mainly just there to rescue some captured resistance guys, only it turned out that Reaver killed all of them but one, whom he used to lure us into the balverine pit...
"Dear Friends, The land you are so charmingly squatting upon now belongs to me. Although I love every single one of you, you are a filthy eyesore on the landscape, and I must insist that that you vacate at once. Tatty bye, my loves. Reaver"
This is on a sign in Millfields on the path to Driftwood. You know what Millfields was renamed from? Bowerstone Lake. Do you know who the bits and pieces of caravans left around the sign belonged to? The Gypsies who raised Sparrow after Theresa saved the would be hero.
Besides that, Stephen Fry said that Reaver isn't immoral, that would denote that he HAS a conscience. No Fry says he is very amoral, meaning he has no conscience. Not only that but he has LOTS of power.
Let's see: amoral _> loads of power
.... explain to me how that isn't bad?
That being said if we are playing a truly good character doing good things and standing against oppression and evil, how is my character not a hypocrite for letting Reaver live? And not just letting him live, no, we're letting him advise the new ruler....... like the he did with the last one.
I mean there's plenty of wealthy and business savvy people around Albion who easily qualify to be a financial advisor... and that's if I decided to beat myself with the stupid hammer and forget that I make around $100K every 5 minutes and that I need someone who makes way less than I do to 'advise' me on how to keep the kingdom treasury full.
Is he the court douche? Is he there for the kingdom to oppose anything that is good. Is he the anti-moral barometer that I must keep around so I know what NOT to do if my character is good?
"Here is Page to present her side of the argument (the positive moral side). And here is Reaver to take the other side, because he is a ponce and likes beating sacks filled with kittens with a spike club while drowning them in boiling water."

I could go on why the inability to make him pay for his prior (and probably present) crimes is kinda game breaking (IMO) in the fact that you really have no power - you can make decisions about the decor, family related stuff and even rebuilding after taking over. But having the choice on bringing someone to justice? No, you don't really have that power.

You were there, but you were in his house at his party rescuing his prisoners. It was pretty predictable that your intentions were to rescue the resistance guys and kill Reaver in the process.
