90906, Cheeky bitch
Posted by Uial on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I loved the character, and the name. First time I saw it, I said it out loud and just thought, "the cheeky bitch!" It was one of my favorite Drow names. All my life I heard that you wouldn't say a word to anyone that wasn't simply demanding the blood oath, but that turned out to be false. I was looking forward to interacting some more.

My only complaint, and this isn't a complaint about the character but about how the Empire is set up, is our first encounter. I really don't think your presence was nesscessary. I was thinking, okay, there's no way Nos can't know that I know that she's there and I was hoping she'd come talk with me, but instead you get called in and you both rolled over me. The whole situation just left me feeling like, this is what I get for hoping to RP with Empire instead of playing it safe and running away or attacking. Especially after I tried to open some kind of dialogue afterwards and got the blood oath treatment, but then you came back with an opportunity to see past that and I found what I had expected, a really cool character. I know it's a pk game too, but without rp, there's no way I'd be playing a mud over some other game and you're right, the way it's set up, Empire has no purpose other than to slaughter it's enemies. It kind of kills RP for Imperials outside of Empire, which leads to resentment. The same could be said for Marans, but they get called on by other people to be heroes which opens up avenues of RP. I think the penalties for taking the Blood Oath should be more role playing penalties than mechanic penalties. Tack the title, subjugated by the Empire onto someone's character and see how much respect they get. It will be a lot harder, and in some cases impossible, to accomplish things if everyone looks down on you. I would like there to be mechanical penalties as well, but just not as harsh as it was.

Anyway, enough rambling, awesome job.
