Would you like to see pirates in the game?

[DarthAdamRG]

In the form of Elven Corsairs or Dwarven Seafarers, a faction, relevant to the game, I say why not!, but no blackbeard wannabe's or Cap'n Jack Sparrow's.

Hell yes!

 

[Flouride]

Yes, if it fits the setting. If not, then no. Not that I care a lot if they are missing either

[Theobeau]

Voting yes because by 3 y.o. loves pirates.

 

Seriously if done right etc....

[OldRPG'sAreGood]

It depends on the setting. If there's a great amount of sea trade, there'd naturally be pirates. But then again, ships could simply be too well protected and sea routes effectively guarded. So, yeah, it depends on the setting, as I don't really want to see pirates but neither do I mind them if it fits in the setting.

Ultima 4 had the best pirates in any game so far. You battled them on their (or your) boat, and if you won, you got their ship. After playing the game for a while, there were ships everywhere, and I used them to build bridges between the mainland and some islands (long rows of ships parked next to each other).

 

It was great. I would love more pirates.

[dlux]

AND another yes/no poll. lol

 

I don't care if there are any in the game.

[Muzrub333]

I'd prefer Viking Kittens, or maybe sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads.

[Naril]

Yaaaarrr!!! (yes). preferably polymorphed into kitten form.

Why's everyone against the idea of the cliché pirate, yarr?

 

Originality isn't always good I find. What I would like to see is having a ship and having ship-related quests. Kinda like a moving player haven, would be interesting.

[Jaesun]

Voting yes since Josh confirmed the world has ship travel. While it is still very dangerous.

[Playgu]

What a silly question!

 

The answer shall be:

Yarrrrrr!!

[Auxilius]

Of course. And make the pirate leader the toughest mofo in the game.

Brownie points to those who understand.

[Luckmann]

Only if there are also ninjas.

[molarBear]

yes but not of human, elf, dwarf race

[Stormcaller]

No, not stereotypical "arrr" pirates. Sea bandits, sure.

[Entropious]

I chose "No" since what probably is meant here are 17th century "Pirates of the Carribeans" types of pirates.

 

Do you know about those Somalian pirates? Actually, the general picture throughout the Middle Ages was very similar, with most of the worst pirates on European and African waters being Muslim, both white and black. So if piracy was to be somehow included, I'd opt for this profile.
