Urban 56 Share Posted May 10 I always wanted to make a morally dubious character, but whenever I talked with other people, they wanted me to join their darkspawn group. It seems like every morally dubious group is either some degree of demon, darkspawn, or mage, never once seen a proper bandit group or criminal organization. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

satinkira 6270 Share Posted May 10 ur actually right tbf, the server is 10000000% oversaturated with schizo rp and its telling that the most popular villain group (gash) actively work to be simple in their motivation - being evil 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islamadon 4859 Share Posted May 10 Non-schizo villainy has existed for years, I just think you surrounded yourself with lorebrains so you’ve self isolated … Just RP in a nation and you’ll be able to do all of what you’re asking for. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebellionlife 397 Share Posted May 10 "Can’t we give our characters something new to motivate them to do what they do? For dark mages/villains, there are numerous other reasons to commit villainy than to do it for some theological/philosophical reason that you’ve brainwashed your character into believing." I completely agree. Dark mages and villains should be able to commit villainy for more reasons. There is amazing villains from universes like marvel spiderman. Some of my favorite villains are all spiderman villains or DC flash villains. Villains who while evil show there's redemption or at the very least parts of their humanity remaining. Be cool to see at least. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unwillingly 11655 Share Posted May 10 1 hour ago, Nozgoth said: We need burglars, murderers, drug dealers, bandits, etc. yeah it's a real shame that we don't just see regular dudes anymore and every signifigant conflict/villainous interaction is the product of a giant darkspawn raid instead. not that I mind darkspawn raids, but now it sort of feels like that's... all we really have anymore? any semblance of conflict RP comes in the form of giant spook raids. what happened to the one-off encounters? catching somebody being mugged? pickpocketing? actually good thief RP (as opposed to running the /break command when nobody's around)? hostage RP? etc? I've ran this line before but I think it's in part due to the fact that a lot of places (albeit not as much as they used to) for a good while literally wouldn't let you inside if you had a weapon, meaning that doing this kind of RP was damn near impossible unless their chronically closed gates just happened to be open. I'm glad this kind of isolationist "don't touch my minecraftia" mentality seems to be slowly withering away though, so hopefully this kind of RP will become more prevalent in the near future 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morigung-oog 2592 Share Posted May 11 People think that they have to have a Dark MA to effectively villainy RP mostly because anything remotely decent RP-wise often came from spook RPers. A lot of mundane villainy was low-quality to begin with and thus any 'mundane villainy' was automatically assumed to be bad faith and poor quality. 100% agree with u Noz. It's the RPers, not the magics and feats that are the core of good evil roleplay- people just don't realize it yet. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loathe that player culture has become so hostile towards character archetypes that imply having a purpose, a rhyme and a reason, or something to gain and lose. I'm not saying that one is superior or inferior to the other either - both have their places on the server in different ways and I think we just need to be alright with that 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im beginning to experience this more and more and it rots my brain people just cant bear to be wrong about server lore nowdays guys please start fall for the psyop campaigns irply hahaeh please stop making misinforming ppl oocly the only good way to misinform them irply but ur right tho i dont disagree its smth stupid like 01:50 am rn and I can already tell I havent expressed my thoughts very clearly; tldr ur right and I dont disagree 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
