Converting NPCs...

Remove all ads!

I just wrote this on the Viconia board, but I thought it would be a good question to throw out there:

Since I enjoy the increased dialogue between party members: The Romance subplots, Minsc's (basically anything he says), and the other dialogue between the Npcs, I was wondering how eveyone felt about the possibility of converting NPCs to philososphy's closer to the Main character throughout the game.

Interested? Or would it make the banter between party members less fun?

In playing a paladin in the game, I would think he, and other religious-type players would actively try to bring others around to their point of view...Especially party members. I also think it would be yet another cool subplot while the game was going on. What do you think?

 

Intersting thought. In PnP we always treated alignment change as a big deal, with downsides. Clerics would lose the favour of their Gods and hence spell levels. Others might suffer a period of bad luck.
I find it a little odd that anyone can get the same services at the same price in any temple irrespective of alignment.
I wish someone would convert Aerie from worshipping a damn chipmunk!

 

I think it would be a good idea, especially with a paladin lead, they have such a high charisma. There is a goddess of good Drow in the Realms, I forgot her name. Viconia could turn to her.

 

Viconia's great the way she is, so you dogmatistic do-gooders can sod off.
Haha.

 

I am crushed about Viconia...I hit the 20 Reputation mark last night...And she broke! And things were going so well too!

Now she says the next time we meet it will be in battle...I tell ya - Just like every other woman...Story of my life! LOL

Just kidding ladies. Having a bit o' fun.

 

i think it would be neat if-

when you meat up with drizzt and you have viconia in your party you find out that viconia is trying to get a bounty for drizzts head (good luck vic), then they duel (and drizzt kicks her ass of course) and drizzt questions you about your time with her.

 

The conversations with the npc's should be like in Planescape Torment. Here you could initiate a conversation whenever you wanted, asking them for advice and so on. It is actually possible to increase some of their stats this way. (Anyone ever tried to forgive Morte? One of my most spectacular gaming moments ever!)

 

I think your alignment should be done like in Torment as well, that way you have to play the alignment out that you want, but choosing your initial one. And the NPC conversations should be done like that too.
Would love to hear Viconia's opinion of Aerie . Hehehe.
