Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I've noticed something very interesting in A2. You can attack Tina's child in Mertis with and arrow (melee doesn't work) and kill him without getting in trouble. Of course, I've known this for a while but I just remembered it. Has anyone else done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yes. It's connected to the lack of a warning screen for missile fire. Said screen does occur for attempted melee. Why it does not occur for archery remains unclear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Attack anyone else with an arrow and the town goes hostile. Only that kid...maybe because he is neutral? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Feo Takahari Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Uh, why were you attacking a little kid in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Bloodlust, silly. Iffy is a raging, axe-wielding barbarian, drenched in the blood of the innocent. Or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 This thread reminds me of GF2, in which you could throw spell crystals at people and not have the town go hostile. As for why Iffy would kill an innocent child, he probably just wants the loot she's guarding. Which excuses the entire act, of course.

Unflappable Drayk John S Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Maybe the child was being insolent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Brock The Archmage Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Also, she was virtual, Iffy is just experiencing child-murder vicariously so he can decide if he really wants to do it. Maybe no one would notice if he used a bow and arrow. Tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Everyone noticed, it just took a while for word to get around. Why else would it be that in later games there aren't nearly as many children around? They're all hiding. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Brock The Archmage Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Clarification: I meant if he REALLY wants to do it, as in life-real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hell, no. I would never kill anyone in real life. Or, more accurately, it is mentally impossible for me to kill someone...I think... But slaughtering towns in games is fun! I have no idea how I discovered it though. I do random things.

It's not as different as you might think.

Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 This isn't the only instance in which you could get away with a crime. In E3 you could set quick fire to a place. I'd usually surround myself with force barriers so I could watch. There's also some odd things in both games...like killing a chicken or a cow causes the whole town to become hostile. Originally Posted By: Iffy But slaughtering towns in games is fun! Except when the town has an annoying script that automatically kills you (Fort Emergence, Blackcrag, Gikhra, etc.). I always thought it was odd that cooling amulets protected you from Erika's fire defenses and not Gikhra's. But yeah...Shayder is really fun to wreak havoc on. *smiles malevolently* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or fire damage in general, which also would've been nice. Apparently, the Cooling Amulets are designed to work only against Erika. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Brock The Archmage Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I tested it, the cooling amulets protect about 5% from all fire, but it's one of those things not written on the character sheet. I dunno if it also does in Exile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I first read that as Lyre, and thought it was a reference to another BoA scenario. But I doubt either are connected in any way than by coincidence alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 No, Iffy. Lyra is a name that crops up in William Blake's "Songs of Innocence and Experience". Hence my mentioning it after mentioning the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
