I Want My Reward You Elven Bastards
« on: May 02, 2009, 10:12:03 pm »

My adventurer visits an elf retreat in the upper right corner of the world map. After a few simple local quests assigned by the local druid in the elven(including slaying a dragon, which I did with a little help from my friends) he asks me to cross the entire world map, dodging MASSIVE oceans and more mountain ranges than I have ever seen to defeat a SKELETAL TITAN. I destroy the titan after ripping off both legs and one arm and head back for my reward, carrying out smaller quests on my way home. I arrive at the retreat and am shocked to see elves running away. On the world map every square around the Retreat is packed with refugees. I ask a helpful guard who, instead of telling me that he'll tell me when he gets home (which every other elf tells me), informs me that there is no capital.
WHERE IS THE GODDAMN DRUID! IT'S STILL IN MY QUESTS TO REPORT THE DEATH OF THE TITAN!

So they sent out their champion to kill a non- threat and were attacked while you were gone?

Yup, those are elves.

Serves you right for doing quests for elves.

For some reason, this made me think oceans and mountains were coming after you. I laughed a little.

This is your fault for letting the Druid die.

I'm not sure he's dead though! I forgot his name and couldn't find him in legends mode, but other than that it is just really weird. Their nation seems to still exist, just not have a capital.

If the leader dies, there is no capital.  The civ will still persist regardless, though.

Buuuuummer.

Looks like all of that trekking and SKELETAL TITAN slaying was for nothing.

The good news is, you got a wonderful adventure out of it, filled with emotion, love, confusion, sadness, lust, greed, courage, honor, anger-

Oh fuck this I want my reward! :P

The dwarven economy is just a stand-in, from what I understand. As it is, it represents an actual economic system about as well as poison ivy represents a salad.

You don't get rewards anyway, do you? I've done about 20 quests and so far they've called me a champion and sent me on my way. I mean, there's only so many times you can be called that without thinking they're being a little cheap.

Adventurer "I have slain the Skeletal titan!"
Druid "Thanks be to you, our champion!"
Adventurer "Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd...?"
Druid "Well, we did have a scrape in 7 with a dragon, so that would be a good place to start."
Adventurer "And then my re-"
Druid "There is a rather belligerent minotaur around here. Knowing no remorse he stole our treasure!"
Adventurer "Fuck this"
