Can you kill civilians/innocents?
« on: July 06, 2011, 04:07:38 am »

I was wondering about this, I might want to make a complete evil menace character sometime....but you can't attack them as you would any other enemy.

Is there some way you can attack them? Maybe some way that you can be a bandit and bring fear to the land instead of trying to help on quests.

As far as I know (haven't played Adv. mode a lot), you very much can. And by the tone of your post, you will ^__^

I was hoping there might be some button command to go into combat mode yourself and attack whoever you want then.

I haven't played Adventure Mode for a while, but I believe it's something like Shift+A and selecting the person in question, then saying yes to really attacking them. But I'm not sure.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

If my character kills a civilian in front of other civilians, what are the repercussions? Do they run away in fear or will they attack?

Also your reputation would go down would it?

At the moment your character becomes kill on sight by anyone in that civilisation.

They will bum rush you until you slaughter a huge amount of them and sometimes the children and injured will run.

That's reasonable...

Although I think if you kill a civilian when they're a hut by themselves you should have the chance to get away with it scott free.

You kill a member of their civilization, and you become an enemy to everyone in the civ..
Everyone telepathically knows that.

Since your companions go against you when you kill someone. Maybe it should be possible to have bandit companions that don't care?

you can attempt to kill anything.
if it moves you can attempt to kill it.
Causing it to die on the other hand is another matter.
Companions of that civ will only go against you, if you have say Dwarven companions they would care less about the human town you ran sack and will help defend you in your pillage.

wanting to get away from murder could only be done through either fire, or syndrome. you could also make a material that a liquid that either super hot or cold and smear it all over the floor.

I wouldn't be surprised if the other civ's ethics concerning violence against civilians also had an impact here...

I have recruited bandits few times. I think they turn friendly when you are well known for badassery.
You still get ambushed by bandits but they just wont do anything but stand still and you can chat with them and recruit.
also, ive sometimes found friendly bandit camp, bandits attacked my companions and my companions killed bandits but i could just walk around and recruit anyone on sight.

one time i killed a roc, making me friendly to every civ in the area, even bandits.  i recruited a couple when i came upon them fighting a couple of goblins in the middle of nowhere.

when i went back to town, all the civilians attacked me.  i killed the entire town then went to a different kingdom.
