I had a ton of fun this event, really felt like we were settling into a new place. I look forward settling into the better new place.
Pros:
- So much things to fight, and on a similar vein as a low level nothing with a plain ol pokey stick I felt that I could fight most things I would have wanted to.
- Speaking of fighting things Branya is the best Bard me and Torock running around smashing undead with magic spears and bigger muscles was glorious. 'we do not deal in the affairs of the dead....wait, these can hurt them?' *proceeds to kill all undead in sight.
- Doing Einhier things, getting more and more to grips and understanding the politics and personalities within Ralinwood.
- Getting captured by shattered elves within 5 minutes of game start.
- Maximus casually saving my life, then pretty much all the actions he took after. I always like seeing and being part of organic and interesting relationships that develop in game both good and bad.
- Vlads fam and the house of Ire, hanging out with you guys is a treat (and a quite literal one with delicious food and drink) and that whole time in the circle was just crazy, every time I blinked someone was getting kidnapped, wasting deathed, executed, sapped, oh an then Moregeese shows up and obliterates an elf. At times it was really hard to justify to the clan why we thought living here would be a good idea.
-I really enjoyed all the bandit stuff and all the interactions with everyone who was part of it, there was alot of personality in both the NPCs and the mods themselves, from brads grinning cutlass dude to wills tricky man of tricks to that last bomb mod
- Special thanks to will for letting me use my craftsman skills. Let me tell ya, craftsman sucks and is probably the most unsatisying skill I have ever purchased, but it felt good to be able to put it to use.
- After mocking the town and being disspointed in seeing them break against pretty much everything it was absolutly amazing and heartening to see whoever was around rally together and carry what would have been an extremely hard series of fights by working together and listening to each other. A fighting retreat that ended up with us surrounded, a tactical wheel to get out of that and keep our enemies to our fronts. Seriously everyone who was there, you were great. Winning that fight felt like a real victory.
- There are alot of other things I cannot quite pinpoint but I see from the back end that made things great.
Cons
- I fought alot of things but I had no idea why I was fighting them, at times it felt like there was a monster manual on a wheel that was just being spun, dont get me wrong I still had fun. I also realize this may not be plots fault because no one in the town seemed to know either, more I think about it I suspect the people of Ralinwood are just so used to getting attacked by things they no longer ask why and so there were no answers for us.
- This actually isnt totally a con. But, loot that makes sense on NPC's for the most part it was actually great, the pheasants at the end of game for example. But then I milked a mushroom and got a tophat, I often go for things that look like they will provide alchemy RM its weird when something like that happens. But overall loot made way more sense.
- The pacing on saterday seemed a bit out of wack, the day was pretty dead and kinda boring, I kept thinking I should sleep cause nothing was happening, but it was happening for so long something MUST be coming up. Then at night it was just a constant stream, feel like that could have been spread out a bit more.
- Shapers and OOG players walking around with blinding white lights on and not answering calls. It got almost comical friday night the amount of wind we where seeing. Guys in the dark wecant see your headbands, especially with blinding white lights in our faces. Try say 'wind' or 'oog' before we are hailing you and reading our weapons. And especially dont say NOTHING as its happening.
- NPC's were great but Id like to see them 'sell' it a little more. If your swinging 21 magic with a hammer its a bit lame just slowly tapping it at peoples feet. I also understand NPCs are volenteers and also PC's who are burning their energy to NPC.
Overall I had a really great time, it was an absolute slog and beat the shit out of me. Also, who let Dan work out Moregeese was fast scary and sneaky, Im not even an elf. I am really looking forward to the next game on the new site, I feel like its going to be great in and oog feeling like we are starting fresh and building anew especially after all that from this game.
