At 2 o'clock PM, Day of Thunder, 3rd of the Month of the Dark Shades
on the Theran calendar Alrion perished, never to return.

Another one bites the dust.

I never really had much in the way of grand plans for this guy.
It was originally born of what happened while I was playing
Varric, and around me shoving Fortress members into a mob in
Mortorn and them killing it. Then soon after various folks
getting booted etc. For what I viewed at the time as being
extremely harsh. So part of me was curious as to "Just how
hard is it to not be booted." along with "Its about time I
played a good align."

On an off playing for 20+ years and I can count the number
of good aligns I have played on one hand missing 3 fingers
... And well it certain showed right from the get go when
I killed me first good align mob at level 13 and went "What
the hell that mob is good align?!?". But from this my throw
away developed a role and things progressed from there. Then
I actually started enjoying playing the character, but stuck
with my gung-ho ways and kept getting wanted killing a few
guards here and there and slowly racking up a few black marks
on my name. Somewhere around here I got Captain but was
surprisingly enjoying Mr Goodie Two Shoes, so would still
push but always put an "Guards" life before my own. I then
endured the Mercy Bug, and after not taking a second legacy
for 50+ hrs as "Pennance" had my laptop die,reloaded an old
VM and boom a number of things fell apart, primarily due to
a forgotten deleted alias from when Varric was around level 15.

What I learnt from all of this is well, if you stuff up as a
good align, you can 100% play through it if you choose to. It
is not the end of the world, is it harder yes, but completely
doable, I would not go out of my way to test the water but I
would if caught up in a bad situation play it out, so I hope
other can learn from this and do it.

For those who want to know:
Mercy Bug:
- Basically when anyone flees you attack stuff
- Your own group mates
- OR For the instance where I prayed enough is enough and
had it stripped from me
- Phiyruhk was level 40 fighting Stetcho (I had neither in
range level 51) ... Phiyruhk fled from the outer Maran and
I attacked it killing it
- So the bug basically meant defending could be risky as I
could without any option kill the inner/outer defenders
- Attack my group mates in retrieval situations etc

Its been to long and there were to many players so thanks
to all for the intereactions and the good times.

To the Imms thanks for all you do and continue to do.

Much like Varric and with a few exceptions an Enemy should
not be left to feel comfortable sleeping in an enemy cabal.
I lost count of the number of times I could sleep in Empire
under 400 hp with a broken wrist etc, when defenders were
in a position to do something but instead chose not to. It
is something I dont under stand, I was running a fairly hot
set near the end, which for you means I am not going to loot
so you have far more to gain by giving it a go.

Lastly to Sekpak:
- Well done you completely and utterly bored me to death
- Should I have died No
- Was I expecting to loose stuff Yes
- The fact I basically lost all weapons, primarly a collection
of good only gear and some race only gear is just griefing
for the sake of griefing

You were a really scary and aggressive char. Sucks to see you delete. Not sure if you got full looted but I'm assuming so, and I imagine the regear motivation was tough if that was the case given age and such.

If you don't mind me asking, what was up with mercy legacy? Did it just not fire or something.

Looking forward to your next one.

Cheers man. Really enjoyed all the fights, as I said on your farewell you were my white whale

interacted with you on many charssuprised to see rge mostly bc at the end you seemed unkillable

Cheers man. I kept a good track of who you were on the deleting threads and well done all round. Keep on trucking.

Intense, principled in your views, and generally fun to watch.

I didn't realize how many hours old you were though, yeesh!

Nice job!

-Ish

I really like me to

Thanks for sorting out the mercy bug! I had bug boarded it 3 times prior to praying and was basically at the point of deleting. But where was my extra "0" damnit

Having said this I can still see the legacy having its place with a couple of simple fixes. And as is in the hands of an evil who wont care who they hit I still see it 100% useable as is. So perhaps the help file needs to be changed to detail thats is recommended good aligns dont take it.

Fighting who you fought last is a bit frustrating. I understand the delete but it is a shame you were so close to age death.

Enjoyed all the chats and adventures. Good to see your are still trucking along

You will be missed.
You were a complete bad-ass.
While at heart you preferred to pk solo, I did very much enjoy some of the group stuff we did with mobs.
It was truly amazing two warriors killing end-game mobs without any help.

You were a great leader, it's a shame you lost it.

I wish our enemies had your spirit, I don't recall you cowering from a single fight.

Good luck with the next.

Thank you. I didn't think much could really stand against us both, that time we hunted down villagers in the heart of night walkers was fairly nuts.

I had enough black marks it was time I lost leader I just wish it wasn't because my bloody laptop died. Next time ill purge all my aliases first.

On the bright side I have doubled the number of good aligns I have played

your char was a nice powerhourse man. Im so sorry
and that many hours with a rage delete
seriously thought you were age dying soon but...


*hugs* good job with making a tough ass char and keeping it damn strong through all of the big imperial times

There is always something in the works

I am thinking polearm/spear spec with the one arm flaw. It will be AMAZING
