Uilleand Mercenary Registered: 01/11/06 Posts: 23 Loc: Canada	One of the (very few) things I didn't enjoy about DD was killing the wolves..... In any new incarnation of the game, I'd appreciate a way of stunning, holding (energy cage doesn't work, I tried...) or even befriending hostile animals...maybe you could even get info from them, if you chose the right skills — it would fit right in with a ranger/druid type character. On the same note, I do love that the kitty in Aleroth hangs out with you, and I make a point of petting it whenever I'm in the village...(I felt kind of sad gathering my stuff up from my homebase and preparing for Divine-ness...knowing I was leaving kitty all alone in the village....oh well, he had plenty of bunnies to eat....) _________________________ "If I love you, what business is it of yours?" —Goethe—

Macbeth The Scribe Larian Studios Loc: In Flanders Fields	I agree, I hate having to kill wolves. I felt the same in Baldur's Gate when having to kill wolves and large felines. Oh, I love what you say about Kitty! I do the same thing The last time I played Divine Divinity, when I was gathering the council members, the orcs in Aleroth actually attacked that poor little cat! I killed all the orcs in town (checked and double-checked), yet the next time I entered the village Kitty had been slain! I immediately learned the Restoration spell and brought him (or her) back to life. Strange how you can get attached to a digital cat. It's just that I always imagine it's one of my real cats _________________________ I am in blood Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er.

Oh no!!...I was gonna buy that next, but now I don't want to!

Those orcs are *%$%ing lucky they didn't do that to MY kitty....I'da ripped their digital hearts out!! ... and then resurected them, so I could start on their spleens!!!! (do NOT mess with a she-mage's kitty!!) Actually, the Aleroth kitty looks JUST like my own furball, which is probably why I'm so attached to it....even if my kitty is sitting right on my lap the whole time.... (I admit I've redone about 2 hours worth of gameplay after a mistaken click of the mouse made me accidently kill a cat in the Wine shop....hmmmm......wait a minute...the MOUSE.....it was a set-up!!. The MOUSE made me do it!!!.....) _________________________ "If I love you, what business is it of yours?" —Goethe—

Macbeth The Scribe Larian Studios Loc: In Flanders Fields	At the time these games were released their graphics were quite good as I recall. Especially Shadows of Amn. _________________________ I am in blood Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er.

Macbeth The Scribe Larian Studios Loc: In Flanders Fields	In my opinion, Shadows of Amn still looks great. Not as smooth as Divine Divinity, but still great. And anyway, it's especially the gameplay that counts, no? _________________________ I am in blood Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er.

Macbeth The Scribe Larian Studios Loc: In Flanders Fields	Ok, third edition rules are a lot better, but can you honestly say you think Baldur's Gate I and II aren't good RPG's? _________________________ I am in blood Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er.

Ubereil Ancient Dragon Registered: 08/13/04 Posts: 5124 Loc: Where time stands still	Never said that (allthough BG1 got really boring as soon as you got to Naskel mines). Just said they were old, looks old, plays old, and that I therefore didn't like them. Übereil _________________________ Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think. Ambrose Bierce

Macbeth The Scribe Larian Studios Loc: In Flanders Fields	Back to pets than Well in any case, I would love it if cats and dogs would run around again in villages. It's one of those things that makes a game come to life. _________________________ I am in blood Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er.

Uilleand Mercenary Registered: 01/11/06 Posts: 23 Loc: Canada	Quote: As long as they don't all start attack just because you were attacked by a wolf in the middle of a forest... Übereil That's what I'm saying...I want another way to relate to the animals....especially the wolves I hated hearing that 'yip' evertime I had to kill one...(however, none of the dogs have gone hostile on me....) A necromancer...or some type of evil mage could control the spiders and beetles and have them to their bidding....a 'cat' burglar' could have the town's kitties telling him when the coast is clear....dogs would be drawn to a noble paladin (but perhaps hostile to the cat burglar)....or a druid or ranger type could actually talk with the animals at high enough levels..... Either way....a 'charm' or 'energy cage' or a non-lethal strike should be available for dealing with animals who are hostile...not nice to kill them all.... Besides...a non-lethal attack would be welcome in situations where a whole heap of mind-controlled soldiers try to kill you too....i never did feel right about wiping them all out..... _________________________ "If I love you, what business is it of yours?" —Goethe—

Macbeth The Scribe Larian Studios Loc: In Flanders Fields	Übereil was actually making a joke In , when you accidentaly kill one animal of a certain species (that was non hostile), all fellow members of that species become hostile throughout the entire game Way to hold a grudge! _________________________ I am in blood Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er.

I think that happens in DD, too...at least I've read here from people who were attacked by dogs throughout the game....and the one time I TOTALLY ACCIDENTALLY killed a kitty....the other kitty in the room started to attack me...but I reloaded cuz I don't think I could have finished the game killing all the kitties... _________________________ "If I love you, what business is it of yours?" —Goethe—
