[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 8717311, member: 20323"] My take on neogi back in 2e was that their culture of "owning other beings" wasn't aspirational – from the neogi mindset it was as if it were a deep embedded truth already true, and their "property" was out there running amok across the worlds. So when a neogi would be encountered they would say things like "why does this dwarf not kneel as my table? such barbarism that tables do not know their place on your world" or "you have been wandering in pursuit of 'freedom', elf, but look at the tragedy that has followed you - surely the price of this illusion you seek is too steep?" I had a very particular voice and body language for neogi that made them... like sleazy click-clacking landlords trying to convince you why you actually didn't detest the moldy rat-ridden walls. Rather than being directly offensively slave-taking, they were like patient predatory philosophers trying to talk their "property" into the fold. [/QUOTE]
