I decided to mod dragons to be adventurers and various other things, so I started playing dragon adventurers. It's great fun to roleplay being an actual dragon and looting every bit of gold and sparkly that comes across my path. Doing this, I discovered two things.
One, there's some tag in the dragon raws I'm thinking that makes towns impossible to go into. I can complete hamlet quests just fine, but once I hit a town, every merchant and their dog (literally) wants to beat me to death. I discovered this in my current save, where I got a quest from a hamlet telling me to kill the vampire master in the nearby town. As soon as I stepped into the town all the livestock tried to kill me, as well as the merchants in the open-air marketplace. Set lots of things on fire, then I got into the actual keep. Killed a LOT of various things there, the vampire I'd been assigned to kill was literally in the last room I found. I went back to the hamlet to announce my success (and my genocide of all the other vampires/bandits/evil rodent people)...and every townsperson I talked to said "Don't talk to me" and then proceeded to attack me because I'd murdered the merchants who tried to murder me for no reason. Hilariously, this inspired a loyalty cascade, where anyone I talked to who tried to kill me was immediately punched to death by the townspeople I hadn't talked to yet. After getting a child punched to death I just lol'ed and left the hamlet, cause whatevs I'd looted the castle already.
This brought me to my second discovery - a necromancer's tower! Sweet beans, I'll be a dragon necromancer, I thought. Well after murdering my way through a ton of zombies, six or seven necromancers, and basically making the entire tower go up like a torch (there was a lot of fire), I grabbed like 50 books and hightailed it out. I then looked through my books, finding at least five dealing with death in their titles. Sweet! I then read all books concerning the secrets of life and death...and remembered that as dragons don't have a max age, they're immortal, and that makes them immune to being necromancers, it appears, which means I just melted a lot of zombies for no good reason.
Also I lost the majority of the gold horde I'd acquired in looting the human castle in my storming of the tower and all the heat that resulted. Sad. I still have my gems, though...and a ton of necromancy books. What to do...
