Survey: Roleplayer or Powergamer? - Page 3

Eoghan Rutledge · 07-24-2002, 12:46 PM

Definitely a powergamer/roleplayer cocktail-like mix up. Rarely ever buff up my party before a battle especially not with potions e.g. potion of invunrability, potion of frost giant strength etc. unless it is just impossible to do without them. Never bother writing up bios cause it's just to time consuming and personlly i'd rather be doing something else like spilling guts or wrangling necks or something.
don't take advantage of low AIs.
Do all quests regardless. And always use player game knowledge of maps and enemy to determine the best and most effective battle strategy.

If I know there is going to be a battle I buff my party (the bandit camp i.e.). But I usually keep a party of 6, so a cleric may stay a bit behind and cast the buff.
But usually, Dynaheir's fireball is faster to cast than the chant and weakens every enemy quiet alot [img]smile.gif[/img]

As for the bio, I don't bother unless in multiplayer. I usually do all quests cause they are mostly always helping someone, and I like doing that.

I customized my Ranger by substracting Charm Animals and adding Slow Poison, and he uses the sword of my guild, Valor. It's a lighter Long Sword +2, but only used by trustworthy members [img]smile.gif[/img]

Do I exploit the AI? Depends on the creature I'm facing. Ogres, yes. They are stupid and I like to walk around trees with them. Else I don't really do any AI exploits unless I'm not aware of them.

By your definition, I am a total power gamer..I make sure I do every single sub quest I possibly can (I am inside the city right now and I still have perdue's sword because I keep telling myself I will go back and give it to him just so I get a few lousy xp)
