The funny thing is that with any other character type, I don't need the interaction but with a Scarab it's almost required in a sense. I don't enjoy the loneliness of everyone hating you and hunting you. Eilathen made my life tolerable and fast paced since he's a healer and even made a bunch of comments on how the Father was "missing". Maybe the Cult was never for me as I don't like the way how you get silence 90% of the time - maybe I just picked a bad class type for being a loner - who knows. I had fun but it was just dry for my tastes since there was no one to interact with besides fighting - probably should have stuck it out as a Villager.

Congrats. The expectation I mentioned above, but I wrote the note for one simple reason - you love to disappear Maybe it's just timing, maybe you just don't like talking to me, or maybe you're finally getting away from this game but when I get an answer pretty regularly for one week, then nothing for almost 3...you question. > >>Also, just for clarification, why'd you change the Ma'rin to >>not be in the Cabal?

Hmmm, well Sebastiano made a comment about the gargoyle being attacked once so I had assumed there was still a "cabal". I'll truly missed the cabal aspect of it though, even though you think it shouldn't be one. Raiding/defending adds spice to a player's life and is a huge reason people even join cabals. I mean, come on, revenants were made for just that and people loved the challenge of fighting with a scarab defending (I've seen and played both sides). Without it, and no connection to the rest of the Cult, the loner status gets exaggerated beyond my tastes. Go figure, with a gnome ninja rager, I suddenly find more fun in talking then killing - which is the wrong religion for that.
