Tyrnal can strike down about any player doing 150 damage with each hand ... then again he is far from the only powerful warrior and there are many who could strike him down just as easily so in the end a duel would have came down to pure luck or who lagged the least.
Yes, I\'m going to stomp over Kythag\'s thread with my nonsense again.
Which arouses the already over-molested subject of the uber weapons lying around in every grocery bin you happen to stumble over, that I don\'t really need to go into.
But let\'s say for arguments sake (yes I\'m aware that this idea is no where on the road yet, if ever, Karyuu) that a band of power-leveled do-badders decided that it would be spiffy to march into Hydlaa and take the place over, (which brings me to the idea of player-run cities *cof*) not fun right? Then think of how fun it would be if a band of \'heros\' got together to fight back? (I say that would be fun) Then say that the heros lost... all is bad in the world? Well I dunno, think about it, there has to be the rise and fall of tyranny, the crumbling of kingdoms (in this case one city...) there can\'t be the all safe, all secure town where everyone comes to be all safe and all secure. I, personally, think that it would be all these calamities, such as a dictator over Hydlaa, bandits along the Oja road, (lord that would be fun) that would just help immerse you more into the RPing aspect of the game, rather than just the power-leveling. Ok, that\'s now four cents I\'ve given.
And as for the main subject, which I never really got to...
The idea of actually RPing your character in an RPG is a concept forlorn to all but thems that actually
have a character. A real character who they can realate to, have a history written for them, ect. the average person plays an RPG to beat up monsters and chat-speak on public channels, not actually play a character in a different world. And if this grotesque misunderstanding of the art of role-playing wasn\'t bad enough, they take the burden upon themselves to spread their gaming poison to the rest of us, continually insisting that their way of doing things is best. Therebye affecting honest (or dishonest depending on your character) players on the road of sanctification, and twisting them to the forces of evil. And so, when a true RPer such as Kythag meanders along, there is conflict in their ideals. And of course conflict opens questions, and through questions arrive possibilities. And of course possibilities are much too frightening for any pseudo-gamer. I say, that if you want to button mash/hack \'n slash, buy an Xbox, and rent Fable. Anyway, just my six cents now.
