I recently became a legendary hero and have been wandering round the village inns telling everyone about it. My storytelling skills are fairly poor but I usually finish off by performing 'Savages and the Chestnut Perishment', a solo dance in which I spin round and round as fast as possible. We all drink too much and a good time is had by all.

Out of interest I looked up my exploits in the great hall of records that is Legends Mode. Here is the story (apologies if images don't come out properly - first time posting with pictures).

In the year 250, while attempting not to get involved in a rather bloody insurrection, I ran into these two fellows:

They asked for my help, I inquired about their families and off we went. Imbo Pokedaxes was first as his home was nearby. His father being the lord of the keep was pretty easy to locate. Happy reunion and a joyous time was had by all. The lord even chanted as I danced Savages and the Chestnut Perishment to the delight of all. History records the happy day:

Browsing the records, something seems...not quite right. Sure, we all drank a lot, and the story I tell tends to make me out as a little more legendary each time. Cross-referencing the records reveals that somewhere along the line history has gotten a little twisted.

Now, I may have told the story one too many times, but I'm pretty sure I remember what actually happened. It's not like I could have missed this extra member of our party:

I guess this is just a bug, our journey doesn't actually feature in Dak Thiefbud's biography, but it'd be nice to think that one drunken night we added him just for the hell of it and the historians stuck with it.

I like the idea that every story changes a bit with every retelling. I like the idea that heavy drinking can and will change a retelling. Put these two together and then the magic happens.

It'd be interesting to see if anyone else is getting that result as well.

Rescues, like confronting vampires, seem to get recorded weirdly. Max had something similar happen to him in 40.24.

A named spider who died centuries before I even played was helping rescue kids I had in fact rescued.

The power of make believe!

this is just brilliant and provides much insight into how legends are made.

Well, I finally found a suitable sig quote.

I hope it's intended to simulate how stories are slightly modified when told by people, then people telling other people, then ... through time.
You reporting
"I punched a hen from behind in the peaceful meadow"
month later leading to
"I heard that guy killed a hog around the farm"
then months later
"It's said that a night troll butchered a farmer near the city"
and years later
"It's dangerous out there, a bronze titan has been crushing cities all around the region"

While that would be nice, I think the vampire-exposition bug rules that out. I don't know that I've ever been credited with exposing a vampire, regardless of how many other people are around.

EDIT: oops, wrong thread

[pikachu17]

when I kill a vampire people call me a murderer
when people spit at me does it train dodge, armor or shield?

[Max™]

Yes.

Hope toady is aware of this bug.

I've exposed several Vampires in front of their Civ, and the commoners didn't seem to care one way or the other. Still get called a killer. Guess they enjoy their blood sucking cults.

[pikachu17]

a killer means you killed something. a murderer is someone who killed someone they didn't want dead.
