I think most of the NPCs that occassionally get flak from people around here are nevertheless good characters. If you hate someone you're
supposed to hate, then it's good stuff. Much more satisfying when they get their just desserts at your
cock hands. For instance...
Byvernia's cool. Sure, she likes to gank you and carries a Phoenix Down with her, but it's a cool combat that can catch you unawares and, once you beat her, you can pound her like a piñata in the most satisfying fashion.
Leofric's fine too I suppose. He
also ganks you and cheap shots you, but you got to respect a man that knows Raging Demon.
Maybe gets people salty because he doesn't get any comeuppance later... but I think it will come in the future.
And, no, Leofric, I won't stop clapping Jen every time I see her.
As far as I'm concerned, Evergreen is a very pleasant lady that earned the right to live undisturbed in her little cottage of debauchery long ago. As long as you don't come preaching and mind your own business, she'll pay you with the same coin, and that's a fairer deal than you'll get from, say, people in cassocks, old fox soul-vampire harridans, and lethargic old school vampires that are in the "Let's-not-teach-dark-arts-in-Hogwarts" lobby. Plus, it's not like she's pre-industrial Doctor Badger. She's
hospitable. And I'm pretty sure my Champion is
worse than her.
However...
Big schlong wyld elf boy can fuck right off.
Annoying fairy man from the forest can catch fire and
then fuck right off.
Crazy horses and their bullshit crit damage should be turnet into glue, and I should be able to slap the marefolk leader
sharply before lecturing her in the basics of responsibility and not giving axes to mental patients.
