Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jack7" data-source="post: 4770697" data-attributes="member: 54707">You bring up an interesting point Kask.Should players and characters start out high, or not?My view is, if everybody is high then nobody is, or maybe everyone is, but nobody notices, so it don't really matter. It's all too much like being the same.If nobody is high then no one notices because everything is normal. Or at least not high enough to make much of a difference.If, on the other hand, only a few are high then everybody else notices right up front because it is so painfully obvious.I'm not sure if that means that everybody should be high, or not, but it seems to me that if everyone is then you're right back to where you started. Unless it's normal for everyone to be high and I think that is unlikely or everyone would already be that way.And they ain't, though on occasion they might think it seems like a good idea. When they see the other guy high so much of the time.Then again if you are always starting out high I'm not sure you're gonna be fully aware of working your way up to it. And if you're too high for that kinda thing then just think about what everyone else like that must also be thinking. Or, maybe not.I don't know. It's an interesting debate.Personally, I think modern gaming could use a little moderation on the high/not so high scale.But maybe I'm just old fashioned.I don't think women should be in combat so much either.A lot of ideas seem like a lot of fun in theory.But in actual practice not everyone thinks so highly of em.That seems like a highly reasonable observation to me.Less don't always mean more, though on occasion it can, and more don't always mean less of the opposite.Anyway I guess the real question here is, either way, is it more fun, or less? To which I say, probably. What about Dragoborn? Does that at least work ya up into your twenties?Jürgen, that reminds me of an old story...If magic predicts the weatherAs any cowhand can,Then how is magic betterThan castles made of sand?But if magic can move mountainsThrough mysteries a'deep,It's like a bubbling fountainThrough which enigmas seep,It's not by magic's powerThat power is expressed,It is the means and hourWhen true is never-less,Magic can be commonOr magic can be rare,But magic that is all too tameIs anything but fair,For magic is as dangerousAs men need magic's might,And what is thus estranged to usWhen magic is so slight?Give magic room to be as notNot space to be nothing,Or like the fabled ancient knotT'is sliced up like a string... </blockquote>
