I'm just a poor Dwarf, nobody loves me...
« on: October 20, 2012, 06:05:53 pm »

Alright, on my current adventurer, I have decided to try to go evil/good, with powers that are generally considered dark, but used in a way that ultimately benefits the world. Like wiping out a cave of Kobolds with the power of Necromancy and Vampirism. However, I've found that because I am a necromancer, I can't acquire normal companions any more, seeing as people tend to be biased against me for the fact that I am a necromancer. I talke to them, and they immediately run me out of town uncermoniously, holding their Boning knives high.

Is there anyway I can get people to love me once more, so I can go back to being their hero of darkness?

IIRC, necromancers are cool with Good civs on the first meeting. It's probably your zombies (if you have any) that are causing the problem.

He's just a poor dwarf from a poor family, spare him his life from this monstrosity

I'm afraid that for this time you are done with the civilized world. You could still be their silent guardian and watchful protector by slaying all those who threaten them and report the successes to fellow necromancers and undead, your former human buddies will know you're watching over them, but you'll never recover the lost standing with them since they will never get over the fact you got [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE].

Hmm. Does adding [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE] to the human race raws requires a world regen.. not sure.

Welp... I suppose I better just devote my life to be being a benevolent Necromancer/Vampire on the quest for justice.

However... There may be some comfort. I've yet to talk to two of the civilizations on my tiny planet, the Dwarves and the Elves. Maybe they will be kind enough to hear my tales of brutality against evil. If not, well then I suppose when the hero is retired then he can write a book or something.

I've been able to continue walking around towns peacefully as a necromancer/vampire adventurer every time. You must've pissed them off in some other way.

Hmm... Wait... I may know why at least the humans might be a bit angry at me.

I did by chance raise up one of their soldiers. He used to be a companion of mine, until we were brutally ambushed by a murderous pack of Kobolds. We ventured too close to their cave home. They overwhelmed us in numbers, I so I was forced to abandon him and escape with my life. There were simply too many of them, despite my Hammerskills.

After making this tactical retreat, I decided to create ultimate revenge. I found a tower, entered it, and slaughtered the Necromancers therein, and stole their secrets. With bloody rage in my heart, I used this power to raise up my fallen companion, and we took the ultimate revenge. Afterwords, I may have bashed his head in to stop my army from following me into town.

I wonder if that is what made them angry at me...

This is true, I am not oozing vapors or other foul nasty stuff.

But, this story has a good end! I retired the adventurer inside of town, and then reclaimed him. It seems that the village no longer hates me, and once more accepts me as their hero of darkness!

Hold your boning knives high my people! We march upon the elves!

If only that were true. Sadly your necromancer wont fight elves, they are in the next patch and he cant join.

Indeed. Sometimes I wish toady would work faster and that he would have some employees dedicated to debugging, streamlining and simplifying some code so that the fps wouldnt fall so drastically in forts.
