[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8388778, member: 12731"] So true. The problem is, this is true for all 2nd edition Adventure Paths. Extinction Curse? You're supposedly circus workers, but you just kill things and take their stuff. Agents of Edgewood? You're supposedly law enforcement, but you just kill things and take their stuff. (Or you would have if Paizo hadn't ham-fistedly made it impossible for you to actually off perps) Abomination Vaults? You're supposedly protecting your home town, but you just kill things and take their stuff. (At least here it's logical since if you don't, they will kill you and take your stuff) Fists of the Ruby Phoenix? You're supposedly entering a martial arts tournament, but you find out you have to travel around the countryside in order to, yep, you guessed it, kill things and take their stuff. I'm dead tired of Paizo not owning up to what dungeon delving is all about. (For those with a really short attention span, it's killing things and take their stuff). That's not bad unless you project reality upon it. (So don't. The hint that it isn't reality is in the name: "fantasy"). In fact dungeon delving's good harmless fun with your friends. At least the first 2E AP, Age of Ashes, was upfront with what was on offer: you good, they bad; go make justified kills, profit. The end. Either Paizo needs to leave the fantasy scene (the classic dungeon delving subgenre at least) to do the morality plays that - to me at least - they so clearly wished they did, or they need to simply drop the pretense and just have some good old fashioned monsterbashing fun where you don't think too hard on your preferred choice of entertainment! :) Sincerely yours, Z [/QUOTE]
