mkreku Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 It creeps me out when Hades refers to his imaginative friends (his roleplaying characters) as if they were real persons.

Ellester Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 To be honest I made Visceris before I used the name on the forums. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So I take it when you started posting you roleplayed Visceris the half-god of flamming?

deganawida Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 is not that we don't like gnomes... is just that they is inherently silly, and Gromnir tends to be more subtle (or at least less cliche) with our comical characters. play the assassin gnome who acts the clown but is really a diabolical power broker? still comes off as goofy. HA! Good Fun! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Eberron does a good job of making gnomes scary (for example, the gnomes of Zilargo have a secret agency that "removes" problematic individuals). You should read City of Tower by Keith Baker (creator of Eberron); the gnome in that book is downright frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkan Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I like the sound of the blade golem (if they give it some sort of personality ala Nordom or Vhailor), and the elven wizard, but I sure hope none of these companions are manditory. I do not like the sound of that gnome. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atreides Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I think it's KOTOR style where we can swap them around as the job needs (I'm assuming they hang out at the stronghold). Spreading beauty with my katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 What is up with that, J.E.? I know you weren't the head guy throughout the project but couldn't you change one or two things like no NPC death or allowing the player to ditch one or two of them that he or she didn't like?

Volourn Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I should point out that you don';t necccessary have to have the npc in your actual aprty except inc ertain situations much like KOTOR.

Volourn Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) Forces. At least the last time it was brought up on the NWN2 baords. I know because I ranted about it. And, moved on. Now, i just shake my head in sadness when this dead issue is brought up again like in this thread. The exuse used is 'story reasons' which I don't buy. Two games with some of the best npcs don't force you to have them in your party (at least not more than 2 seconds). Those two being PST, and BG2 so this 'needing them for story reasons' is sad.
