mcmanusaur Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 It's sorta funny, and I suppose this is better than an RPG taking itself too seriously, but in general I find things like this to be needlessly silly and slightly immersion-breaking. More subtle meta-humor (I label it this due to the use of modern slang and fantasy genre sensibilities) on the other hand, I can appreciate, but at some point I don't understand the point of putting in all the effort to make the world immersive if you're going to stick in stuff like this. I don't know, just my two cents. 5
Nonek Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Like Minsc the rather obvious humour grows tiring with repetition, however one is always free to unequip and sell I suppose. I'd prefer another branching of Ravel's incarnations, like the Seer in Heart of Winter and the Catlady in Targos. Edited July 11, 2013 by Nonek 5 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
Bill Gates' Son Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I really liked Enserric from NWN Hordes of the Underdark. I really wouldn't mind having a talking sword in this game, but not as flashy as Lilarcor though. 1

Zalpha Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 How about a tomb (book) that a wizard (spell caster) bound himself to (by mistake) and with it in your inventory (or equiped?) he gives you trivial insight into the world around you, annoying at time and useful at others.
Zalpha Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 Lol, this just came to me, how about an annoying orange. XD (Jokes)

Dragon Age: Origins - Witch Hunt the human mage Finn was the best character out of all of them from Dragon Age: Origins (IMO). I found it sad that most compelling and entertaining NPC was in a short DLC. If the book/tomb had his quirky personality I would be very happy.
motorizer Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I'm all for a sentient talking item, but if it's as annoying and juvenile as that sword I'd sell it at the first opportunity (like I did with the sword) 1

Tale Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 How about a sentient hammer. Call it Ribsmasher. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Tsuga C Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 That sword was decidedly too puerile. I'd hope that if there were souls trapped in weapons or grimoires that they'd be written into the game as a serious NPC-like entity. Maybe that's the bonus companion... http://cbrrescue.org/ Go afield with a good attitude, with respect for the wildlife you hunt and for the forests and fields in which you walk.

Lephys Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 It draws crushing hand to the codpiece... Or shocks/stings you when you lie. Or maybe it just shrinks (the piece, itself) when you lie.

JFSOCC Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Ring of in-jokes. Makes you think of funny things, making you laugh while no-one else gets the joke. 1 Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong. If you don't have something to add, don't post for the sake of it.
