sure, but it sucks to not have a good way to reliably kill them at range if poo poo goes down

I mean bash rats however y'all want, I just don't like the shotguns/repeaters and think they're hot garbage

While not nearly as deep as you are, this was my situation until the other day when I had a buddy check out the game and he played through a normal round with elf, netting me those two.

Just a dude dressed like he just arrived here from Bloodborne, no real social graces to speak of, won't shut up about all the details about all sorts of swords and weapons, incredibly good at killing rats so they don't ask too many questions.

If we get a Sea Guard (and I would like one) he or she needs to spend a lot of time making GBS threads on Kerillian for being the elf equivalent of an inbred backwoods survivalist hick.

Someone put it best in the thread, a ways back: She's an elven 13 year old screaming racial slurs into a mic on XBOX live while talking about how she's a totally sick MLG pro sniper and using a lovely aimbot bow. That is why she is hilarious.

I find Kerillian very entertaining. Sometimes she playfully teases the others, and you can tell that the voice actor is smiling as she says "Almost a hint of finesse in that kill" or "Your city is literally built on excrement!" Other times she is just being a meangirl.

I would love to watch her bicker with a High Elf about abandoning their culture for decadence, while the High Elf chides her for being primitive.

Kerillian is a colossal bitch more often than not, the "literally built on excrement" comment is not playful at all, it's basically her being a total racist again and not getting how anyone who is not an elf can deal with the whole "not being an elf" thing.

Which I still find hugely entertaining, do not nerf the elf please, but let's be real, she has no real regard for anyone else there and if it weren't literally the end of the world she probably would get eviscerated for the billionth lumberfoot/mayfly combo comment.

Probably the bright wizard that snaps and does it though.

Anytime I try to play the elf I usually have to stop after one game because I hate her so goddamn much and just wish I was someone else every time she says anything. Every single comment including the teammate compliments has to include some dumbass arrogant fake slur. If it was possible I'd look into replacing most of her voice clips with a foghorn, leaving ones with a "lumberfoot" intact except for that word.

It's sometimes really funny how inappropriate her comments are (or how over the top arrogant she can be, depending how you look at it). I saved a bot elf once from a hookrat, and she immediately criticizes me saying "she'd have killed him faster".

It's also fun to then purposefully leave the elf behind at the mission end.

But that wouldn't really balance well. I'd give the Orc lots of high speed armor piercing attacks to show how pissed he is, and maybe his secondary is going berserk. Keep the abuse on the partners however. If a character is downed, the Orc kicks them hard to wake them up rather than helping them to their feet.

Instead of helping people up it should just do damage to make them bleed out faster, except show you a meter like you're helping them up. THAT'S JUS' WOT BOYZ DO

High Elves believe the same things wood elves do about people, they're just way more polite about it.

Really, the elf scale is: "Racist arrogant shitheads who try not to say it while still helping to ruin everything by being shitheads." "Racist arrogant backwoods shitheads who eat children and screw around with the French." and "Racist arrogant shitheads who are also endless slavers and torturers because it's the logical extension of everything elf."

I love Warhams elfs.

E: Also the 'YOUR CITY IS BUILT ON EXCREMENT!?' line is a thing because elves don't do that. Ever. It's why they never invented gunpowder.

You can use urine to make one of the major ingredients in gunpowder.

You poop in a hole, then you pee on it for a while, then you mix it with water and then take the crystals that come out, add some sulfur and charcoal and you get gunpowder.

:science: It's not poop that's important, it's piss. The nitrogen in urine can be used to create potassium nitrate, which is the major component of gunpowder.

Human waste had been used as a component in the manufacturing of saltpeter (a primary ingredient in gunpowder) for centuries prior to the invention of smokeless powder.

If you want to do it yourself, here are the instructions

http://docsouth.unc.edu/imls/lecontesalt/leconte.html

quote:

First prepare a floor of well-rammed clay; on this place a layer of common soil, mixed with broken old mortar or ashes, six or eight inches thick; then a layer of vegetable matter -- straw, leaves, rank weeds, &c. then a layer of animal matter, dung, flesh, skin, scrapings of drains, sinks, &c. then another layer of mixed earth and mortar or ashes, and so on until a heap six feet high is made.

...

The whole is then covered by a rough shed to protect from weather, and perhaps protected on the sides in some degree from winds. The heap is watered every week with the richest kinds of liquid manure, such as urine, dung-water, water of privies, cess-pools, drains, &c.

...

As the heap ripens, the nitre is brought to the surface by evaporation, and appears as a whitish efflorescence, detectible by the taste.

The sword for him is great, the hammer is a little sketchy just because you need charge attacks to do what most weapons do with normal attacks.
