In Reply to: The problem with ragers... posted by Souljanger on January 18, 2000 at 22:24:57:
My only problem is that they don't talk. I think they should roleplay a bit more rather than being angry at everybody. They should try and talk with magic user warriors to convince them not to use it, rather than just beating them senseless. Some might argue that this would teach them not to use magic. I think on the contrary it makes them want to use it more and to get revenge. I think people want to see them to try and talk them out of using magic. Only then they will feel remotely safe from ragers instead of just getting blindly killed by them even if they decided to stop using magic. When I played Daedric I travelled with Thror heavily and we raided empire with virtually nothing. I came from the inn after winning the orb of travel. (This being my first character I had no what it did) Did he jump and attack me in cold blood no. He told me what it was and why it is evil so I dropped it and sac'd it infront of him. All was fine. I would like to see more of that. Whereas now playing my second character Ast I got killed because I carried a flask. Now I am not an expert at all hell I barely no anything at all. Being a Trouper I thought the flask was an alcoholic drink to my surprise it wasn't. I found this out after my poncho was stolen from me and a rager found it in there. Then came to give me the beats ending with my death. I would I have enjoyed some interaction before hand in letting me know that and i would have gladely got rid of it. What I did try to roleplay a bit of the fight after but it is so damn hard to speak to him because he kept hidden and I could never respond. This is not a rant, I'm just telling how I see it. I've seen it from the good and the bad. I don't care about getting killed it happens to me. I don't like the fact that they don't try to stop me from using magic. All I learned is that I should carry fly potions becuase that's why I died because of trip. I also should carry potions of teleport and recall. Do I want to do this no, I'm happy using little magic as possible but now of this it only will increase my usage of it. This my view and I think other people might share the same view, if not then I'm wrong and my appologies.
