Any way to be a villain without getting pwned?
« on: December 20, 2011, 04:42:57 pm »

I want to be a villain thief. Is there anyway that I can steal things from stores without getting killed? But first I will get a kill a beast quest kill the beast then take the lair as a home. I will also kill people if they get in my way.


Any tips or ways to survive before I go diving into evil?

While every member of the civilization telepathically senses your crimes, you should still be welcome in all other civilizations. Don't antagonize everyone and you should be safe to raid your target civilization, especially at night if you can get there past the bogeymen.

Lol I stole gold and silver coins and a iron long sword with a bunch of iron amor and jewels and bling.

Town didn't give a flying ****.

Weird I thought the entire civ would gang rape me.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Well you can just build a lair* used for evil schemes and screw over local towns by kidnapping* royals and using them for experiments* but then you have to make legions and minions and that takes time and effort let alone you need a character that won't snap and be taken over by a moods* if there to many folks working under you*.



*Can not be done in normal means and may need use of Dfusion and or DFhack to pull off. most likely the Dfhack's 'mode set'.

Be a more Realistic Criminal.
Steal whilst Sneaking, for example.

It's  not a "KILL HIM HE STOLE A SOCK" game anymore, but the people will stop talking to you. Only if you steal a lot they will attack you.

The new justice system in the new version should address it (what with the all new quests, banditry and other stuff to do in new town layouts with city walls, backyards and catacombs) where people should report a crime before it's considered done instead of telling it telepatically, at least it's a step in the right direction.

I wish to see that day where I can go "Assassin's Creed" in a complex DF town :P.

the time from stop talking to attacking is about 5 mins.
then the mass attacks start, an end less horde of farmers willing to fight to the death.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Option 1: Go in at night
Option 2: Steal everything, talk to nobody they shouldn't make the first move most of the time.
Option 3: Be a badass. If you start decimating peasants eventually they start running away, especially if you kill them with throwing or ranged weapons.

Or be the stereotypical outcast, where after killing all the beasts of the land you are driven out of society. Then you move into one of the abandoned lairs, and begin AN UNTOLD REIGN OF MOUSTACHY TERROR!!!

That would be neat. Especially once non-player-provoked bar fights are in. I could pull out a (modded-in) pistol and end said fight in short order.

Or move under cover on night to assassinate a leader the locals didn't particularly like and get others to join me in starting a rebellion against said leader.

I play a villain sometimes. Play as a human outsider w. knife fighting and dodging. Walk to nearest hut, use my copper dagger and kill the hut's inhabitants. Grab some light leather clothing and a pair of iron slicing knives. Proceed to kill as many as possible. Head to the coast and sleep on the beach to avoid bogeymen. Make it to the capital, kill the leader, then recruit bandits to help me on my cause.

Once you kill some monsters that bandit groups hate, you can recruit them. When you lead them to a town they go on a massive killing spree until the peasants kill them with their tiny knives.

You might have to be a wanderer and thus free of a civilization though. I haven't tried it while not a wanderer yet.

Also a good way to find some bandits is to lead around one peasant to sacrifice to them. After the peasant dies while you calmly watch, you can speak to the bandits.
