Well, we did only roll a 11+2 for that weapon, which is barely a success. If we try again we could get something better. That might get an insanity penalty though.

I'd say it's worth one more try.

Yeah.

Try reforging it one or two times, see what happens.

The weapon was decent, just impractical. If we get a less impractical weapon, we might get a more useful one.
And it's described as the ultimate Bloodshaped weapon. Not sure if we can exceed that, but with the certain insanity penalty, I'm not willing to gamble.

Oh, speaking of insanity penalties...

Except that with a random number generator, doing the same thing over and over again will literally give you X different results.

It's like practice. Practice isn't insanity.

ffs still gives insanity penalties for trying the same thing over and over.

And if kj hadn't been unable to complete his repetition, I would have assigned him insanity penalties. Well, more because of this:

You may as well just give it a five since I'm not going to stop until the stupid thing is fixed.

but still.

  How about this as a sorta compromise?

  Bloodforge the 'Ultimate Weapon of All Ultimate Weapons'. Technically  we aren't repeating the exact same action, right?

The Heartbreaker is the "ultimate" blood shaped weapon because it takes 10MSP and 10MHP, which are presumably the maximum for bloodshaped weapons.
We could get a weapon that only uses 10 MHP, and it probably won't use SP.

But a smaller version of the Heartbreaker would be more efficient, I think. That's why I suggested scaling it down.

 Somewhat unrelated, but:

 At the end of this post, we got '15 Diabolicalness Points". Where are these points? I haven't seen them in our inventory, or any of our menus (as far as I remember). And WHAT do they do?

  My first thought is that there is one of those 'Morality Meter' things, but then why haven't good actions taken us the opposite direction?

  ...Have we even done anything good? Bringing Slog back to life would count if it weren't technically Necromancy, but other than that nothing comes to mind.

...What if we aren't the target, and Oric is isn't the thief, but rather, it's the other way around?
Ciro is obsessed with loot, and, at least according to our possibly-fake memories, we weren't exactly invited in- much like a thief. Oric, meanwhile, is the person who's loot we're trying to steal, and is therefore the target of us, the thief. Additionally, we aren't really moral, as pointed out above, so what if rather than just being the kinda-anti-hero we seem like, it's actually a case of full-on Villain Protagonist?
Yes, yes, there's word of god and confirmed theorycraftings, but shut up your logic and rational thinking is getting in the way of my insanity!

We uh uh uh... Now that you mention it, we haven't really done anything majorly lawful nor good. We should probably pay more attention to sidequests in the future.

WARNING:THIS MAY BE CHEATING, EVEN FOR THIS GAME.

Spoiler: Remember This? (click to show/hide)


Ninja'd: Then shouldn't we have 15 Diabolical's on the Rubric? Or does 15 Diabolical Pts=1 Intimidation?

  And we should do something that is definitely good to see if we unlock anything. And slapping Al doesn't count, nor does killing Slog.

  ...No good deed goes unpunished? Well, we don't have to do anything life threatening- volunteering to clean the Aunts house or something would work.
