[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8156817, member: 6790260"] I love a good message with [I]multiple[/I] layers to it. "Seek the heart of an honest man." 1. Find a truly, completely honest person. [Secretly: it will be you, when your journey is done.] 2. Save the child (whose name means "heart") of a guy you'll eventually run into (whose name means "honest"). 3. If a person is honest to you, do what you can to fulfill their desires. (Great for quest hooks.) 4. If someone [I]lies[/I] to you, dig deeper. When you have gotten to the heart of the matter, they will speak truth--perhaps without knowing they do. (Beneficial effect: by truly connecting with a person, the character has a chance to get a single question answered honestly, even from a recalcitrant person.) 5. Tell no lies, if you wish to retain your favor. 6. You will find your true love (heart) when you find someone who cannot bring themselves to tell you a lie. 7. Kill the vampire-lord whose name means "honest" in a forgotten language. Etc. Come up with as many equally-valid interpretations as you can, and try to make ALL of them come true at one point or another. If the player pieces together that this is a Prophetic Commandment, awesome. If not, keep notes; you can later have a montage of all the times the character "sought the heart of an honest man," in the lead-up to the final "your heart is the honest one" reveal at the end, making it that much more impactful.
