Can I fail to romance Viconia

[poolofpoo]

by going through endless dialogue options, picking the right answer every time and yet strike out because I just can't bring myself to chose "cuddle" the third time around?

 

Will Minsc try to kill me if I don't go and rescue Dynaheir right away?

 

Will I be able to find a ring of protection by randomly clicking on rocks in one of the first maps?

 

 

I think It's stuff like the above that will make or break Path of Exile...

[Death Machine Miyagi]

#1? No. Not even the equivalent. There is no cuddling in PoE. 

 

#2? Very likely. They've already said characters will leave your group if you do something too objectionable to them.

 

#3? No idea.

genesis poster is possibly the only person we would ever use "ignore" feature to block. we once got a pm from him at rpg codex that were a depiction o' an individual being urinated and defecated 'pon.

 

classy.

 

HA! Good Fun!

[Amentep]

That reminds me of my mod days on BIS when half of all links posted to the forums (and bout 90% in IRC) were some form of tubgirl or goatse...

 

That said I shall endeavor to answer the question -

 

I am led to believe in PATH OF EXXXILE that you can get Viconia to click your rocks and get a ring of protection in the form of a virulent STD guaranteed to protect you from all but the most desperate for money nightwalkers; however the "first map" you allude to - used to rescue Dynaheir - is found somewhat differently than in dialogue with Viconia and fade-to-black screening.

 

To get the "first map", you must instead extricate it from where Minsc hid Boo that one time, and after taking the trouble of getting that map out, yeah Minsc is a bit touchy if you decide not to follow up on the lead he's so thoughtfully provided you. Dynaheir isn't terribly happy about it either, but then by the time you find out (in this scenario) its a little late for that information to be terribly relevant.

 

Hope this helps.

My friend, that is simply not true, I've never posted on said site. As I recall we used to have a good relationship back in the days...

as much as I appreciate the effort, my questions are actually serious. The examples I mentioned are sadly missing from RPGs nowadays...

if you aren't the poolofpoo from codex, then so be it... will take your word for it until proven otherwise.

The timed quests in the Baldur's Gate games were an interesting way of adding tension, but their implementation was fundamentally flawed. Minsc could attack you for not going to rescue Dynaheir in the Gnoll Stronghold...while you were standing in the Gnoll Stronghold.

Sorry, I assumed your use of "Path of Exile" instead of "Pillars of Eternity" indicated a lack of seriousness about your post.

 

Mea Culpa.

Will I be able to find a ring of protection by randomly clicking on rocks in one of the first maps?

 

Perhaps a magic item of some of less useful capability. Ring of soap protection, amulet of hangover absorption, boots of line dancing, shield of plymouth valiant, helm of lice warming, ...

[Tagaziel]

magic item of some of less useful capability. [..] amulet of hangover absorption

If that's "less useful", I'm Pope Francis.

okay that would highlight some faulty AI

[Hassat Hunter]

That doesn't have anything to do with AI?

 

Just a missing check (if NOT in gnoll stronghold map (AOsomething I thing maps where called in BG))

[Amentep]

At least they were consistent - cf Nalia and complaining about not helping the less fortunate when doing the quest she asks you to do in BGII.

[Sheikh]

Minsc was at best an irrational madman. He was copper toxic by my diagnosis. If thats what barbarians are anyway, that'd be fine.

virulent STD guaranteed to protect you from all but the most desperate for money nightwalkers

Huh. Y'know, given the way disease spreads wouldn't without either a magical or technical permanent solution for all STDs long lived cultures like those of elves or Asari all evolve to be pretty straitlaced?
