[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 349090, member: 6239"] Even good role players can get miffed when they are screwed by a party member. If you were going to try that, I would suggest you talk to the other players first. Speaking of other players, what is their take on this? If they think the game is fine, maybe you are being singled out for some reason. As for a future for your character in game, I can only provide a few pieces of advice. First: if you know you killed and ate a comrade that is a great trauma, but you don't remember it. Unless you know that, I don't know that you have a great reason to rethink your whole personality. If you have just had a great trauma, follow the steps a person normally does: denial, anger, fear, bargining, and acceptance. First, try to act normally, maybe while you have those conversations with your DM. Next, I could see your character getting angry at the world that screwed him, and refusing to help as much as he did. After that, starting getting more paranoid, and keep what little you have to yourself. Refuse to heal others in combat, never use up expendable items. Finally, get back to who you character really is, maybe with a health dose of anti-lycanthrope feelings. My point here is that people do not suddenly become different people from just bad experiences, they only get personality quirks. All of this assumes you want to stay in the game. If every one else likes the game but you don't, it might be best just to leave. [/QUOTE]
