I still don’t like that design.As someone who is constantly called by his nickname despite never introducing myself that way, I can sympathize with Aiken’s homicidal rage.OK this? This is genius.If nursing a grudge for 17 years is wrong then I don’t want to be right. I’m still bitter about a guy who stalled me out of a match win in a Magic: The Gathering tournament in 1998 and it meant I came in 9th instead of making Top 8 and getting an invite to a Pro Tour event.Definitely. Or the Right and Just path has a delayed payoff that is many sections (or even books!) down the line.But if the Right and Just path has NO payoff, neither phat lootz later nor lore now, then what kind of lesson is inadvertently being taught? “Be Evil and Mean because you get better loot and you remain just as ignorant as the good people.”I’m going to guess it involves gathering the required components for a complex ritual, each of which has its own sub-quest, then we have to put them together and do the ritual. Except we’ll have to hire / ally with a ritual caster (because the book can’t assume you have a spellcaster in your party) and that person will betray us, because of course he will.</blockquote>
