I think the real unexplored question on all of this is where does this action fit in with the alignment system in... hang on... give me a minute... gently caress. There's no other RPG system in existence stupid enough to have an alignment system. Perhaps Gary Gygax is the truly chaotic-evil one.

Did Han Solo "slip up" by shooting Greedo first, and that's why DM George Lucas had it retconned? edit: ^^^^ Also, Palladium did with analogues for most of the alignments D&D presented Bell_ fucked around with this message at 07:07 on Dec 30, 2014 |

These are DnD adventurers, they kill people for a living. I wouldn't get too hung up on one murder. That being said, when Haley killed that girl, she was directly choosing violence over peace. They had reached an agreement with the thieves' guild, and Haley chose to break the peace herself, and now it's coming back to bite her.

Poison Mushroom posted:This post made me remember the decade long cycle of "Peter Molyneub promises the sun, gives a lightbulb, wait six months, repeat" that games journalism at the time always got caught up in. Molynueb is hack. Least fable 1 was fun to break. Getting a 20x multipler, poping all your exp potions, and then selling bunch of goods to traveling merchant within the first hour or so of play was really satisfying.

Don't forget Populous. It was a good game that sold on its own merits and helped to build Molyneux's ability to sell bullshit later on.

And Magic Carpet. Early Molyneux was really goddamn good. There's a reason that even after a decade and a half of constantly over promising and under delivering, he can still secure funding for his projects. This is in fact better than an alignment derail.

SlothfulCobra posted:These are DnD adventurers, they kill people for a living. I wouldn't get too hung up on one murder. That is both correct and incorrect. It is correct according to the story that only appears in the webcomics. It is incorrect in the context of the full story which is in the book only, where Bozzok and Crystal were the ones to break the agreement, trying to kill Haley and make it look "like an accident" during the recovery of Roy's body. In that context, they had no intention of a peaceful resolution and clearly could not be trusted to keep to any agreement, and were a threat, so Haley was retaliating, not breaking the peace.

Eh, it had already been established in the main story line that Crystal and Bozzok are Bad People. Did you forget about the Blind Pete house invasion, plus the back story comments? (She headbutted an elderly gnome into a coma!) The only "peace" that happened was because Celia butted her bony butt into things, right when Haley was going to finish them off. \PLUS That peace wasn't going to last ANYWAY because the terms meant haley had to pay half of everything she's stolen since she left, and that gold is all long gone. Besides which, she only left to collect that gold in the first place, to pay the ransom on her father, who was only in that situation because of Bozzok! So, in the end, Haley did 100% NOTHING WRONG.

I've just been re-reading all the strips with the new art, and drat Roy, it's pretty cold making jokes about dancing on the grave of a person you know full well is going to die very soon. Not sure how I missed that the first time.

Yeah, but Belkar's a real piece of poo poo, and Roy knows from a reputable source that the only reason why the halfling isn't a mass murderer is because he's been kept on a tight leash.
