Myles, RIP

Ziggurat · 11-02-2003, 10:17 PM

Well, I dropped him off so long ago. He finally snuffed it. Three Lev 22 Minions did him in. Paralyzed and helpless. We tried to help but it was too late. His leftovers were so cheap. I actually felt sorry for the scoundrel, and I did pay his bar tab. Well, not a big loss but he had character. On the low side, yes, but character. The android RFS was there as well. We would have defended him to the death.. Alas, Myles was his own worst enemy.

I usually kill Miles after i PP him empty. He's got lots of good stuff, and you miss most of it if you just whack him or let him die.

Ziggurat · 11-02-2003, 10:38 PM

Hmm. I don't do PP (pickpocket)since the new patch makes it harder. Is it worth building that skill with the newer patch?

Second issue: We should respect the dead...guess I'm getting too involved huh? But there is something to be said about letting personalities go to the other side with some remembrance. If they matter, that is. With Myles, not so sure. Games can reflect on our lives but I'm not a New-Ager who worships crystals, etc. A good game will make you care. I've said enough. Sorry if this is weird.

Yah, I've picked the patched pocket. You need to start with about 50, kinda later in the game, but if you re-load to just get the best (and unavailable elsewhere) one or two items, they won't notice. And it's good to wear all the help you can get, Filcher's Band and whatever boosts your Dex/Spd...

You can want to kill your friends, just don't do it. Some might be worth having around later. You never know... I sometimes have dreams about this game. It's a positive thing. Mostly. I compare this to real life. Not a good idea.

I killed Marten for the first time. Yeh, you get some stuff but it makes you wonder. Enough of my morbidity. On with the games!

PoeticPantherGirl · 11-04-2003, 09:59 AM

So I whacked Myles...(he turned on me whilst I was PPing him, so I thought, Hey, I wonder if there will be any ill effects to this....WTF. Then, after doing this that and the other thing in Arnika, it's time to get out of Dodge, so I'm heading to the exit, and there are some bandits, and...AND MYLES!! (was I seeing things? No! Myles, all red and ready to reek revenge for his already once dead arse. Strange? Perhaps.
This happen to anyone else? Myles back from the grave and hostile?

Just my little snippet for the day.

Sounds like an interesting bug. Never heard of it. Of course, I've never killed him directly.

11-04-2003, 06:02 PM

yeah, there's a myles' bug. from what i can tell, it has to do with the "return the diamond to the bank" quest - if you kill myles later, he doesnt reapper. and he only reappears once, if you do it early.

worth the cash and items if you do it early, and occasionally he'll drop a nice bit for a party that's just getting off the ground.

I had the same experience except with Saxx. In one of my games, I killed Saxx (after dismissing him) for his intrument. When I returned to the fort I noticed a hostile umpani near the front. It was Saxx (This caused the rest of the Umpani to turn hostile towards me and I hsd to reload)!!
