Conan, Day Three

[pyat]

DAY THREE: SCORECARD
Jeweled Thrones Crushed under My Sandaled Feet: Zero
Lamentations of Women Heard : Zero.
Rowboats Stolen: One
Number of Converts Recruited into Impromptu Apocalypse Cult: Zero. But working on it...

Other Highlights...

Housecats Threatened with Hellfire: One


Bottles of Rancid Wine Purchased: Three


Mysterious Women Glimpsed by Moonlight: One.

I went on two solo quests, which involved delivering a bottle of healing potion from a healer to a spy on an island, and returning to her with a message. At this point she tried to recruit me to pick herbs to heal some grotty NPC I didn't care about. I decided to get down to serious roleplaying, and stood in the town square, warning everyone of the coming Volcanic Apocalypse. Whenever a new player came through the gate, I would try to attract their attention with a dire warning along the lines of:
"Do not trust the town crier!"
"Doom!"
"Death is coming to Tortage!"
"Turn back to the jungle, this city is doomed!"

I didn't get any nibbles, though a 65th level guy with a small army of monsters offered me a guild membership, which I declined.

I rather liked that cat, but it never responded, no matter how many times I poked it. I also couldn't get the busty blonde to take me to her room, which is probably just s well. The fact that the even bustier brunette wouldn't mess about with me either was depressing, but what can you do. I got to see blood drip down the screen, which I suppose is some kind of consolation to somebody. Personally, if I had to choose between boobs and blood though...

Incidentally, I really liked the combat system for this game, It was more involving than the fighting mechanics in World of Warcraft. It reminded me a bit of the combat system in Lord of the Rings Online, but better implemented. LoTRO was much prettier though. Not as many huge breasted NPCs however, so it probably balances out.

I must admit, the brunette (Tina?) is remarkably busty, even for a computer game, where it is impossible to make a flat-chested avatar.

The combat system is cool, though I'd love a sort of "tutorial" scene early on to help explain the defences, etc.

How far did you get in this game?

We never completed the Tortage sequence. We were close to finishing, but Dawn was really frustrated with an escort quest we were trying to complete out in that underground temple at the back (NW corner?) of the island. Between her lack of love for the look of the game and the fact that she really didn't enjoy the caster class mechanics in that game, she basically wanted out, and I wasn't digging the game enough to protest. We've drifted back to World of Warcraft since then.
