Unretired Hero = No Reputation?
« on: January 13, 2011, 10:29:26 pm »
So I've brought my scimitar thrower out of retirement for the second time. Last time I retired him, he was a legendary hero all around the world, and could lead 20something companions. After retiring him I played through 2 forts. I decided to bring him back out of retirement for another round of goblin/bandit/megabeast slaying after about 6 years game time, and he's back down to 2 companions max, and people aren't "dumbstruck" when they see him anymore. Anyone know the cause?

Just as your title suggests, retiring resets your reputation.

Nobody likes a quitter, even if it's only temporary.  :P

After all I did for the Kingdoms of Peace, they forget about me the moment I decide to take a break!

Should have gone down fighting. That's what a real hero would have done.

Just a quick update on this topic. I may be wrong, but it appears that once a hero becomes extremely famous, it's easy to get your reputation back. Haven't done any real research on this yet, but I retired my hero, unretired him, and the most companions he can have is 2. I then killed like 2 goblin leaders, and 1 human bandit leader, and suddenly everyone remembers who he is, and they're stunned to see him again.
Almost like "Oh, -that- guy? Yeah he's cool."

Guy 1: I never heard of him.
Guy 2: Yeah, you do. He's the guy that did the thing.
Guy 1: Oh yeah, the thing, so that was him? Didn't he also did something else, too?
Guy 2: I think so.
Guy 1: I love that guy. He's awesome.
