Well, tomorrow I will also state my position on this issue… Nebok will probably understand me (although that’s not guaranteed either), but at least I'll try…

Well, if he had read it carefully right away, he wouldn't have mocked me; as it is, that's what happened, sorry. And besides, Heroist is to blame for all of this.

Experience gained without conflict isn't really experience.

Unfortunately, it turned out that these NPCs were indeed conceited and arrogant. Especially Lerad. He is the embodiment of arrogance. Moreover, this is multiplied by the power that is literally available only to him among all currently living people. The most mild-mannered Sage fell to Yashur. That's quite a coincidence. The Augur is still a likeable guy, and he stands out because he's just an old man without any combat magic. And Mahra, in principle. I consider her good. The original Mahra. Theoretically, Sarabas could swallow his resentment and subsequently begin to oppose Lerad, because it is possible to stop him during the campaign. This is not forbidden at all. The main thing is to find other dissatisfied individuals who are unhappy with his cruel tyranny. Right now, I have ideas for three different scenarios for the fate of the Clan of Sages. Maybe even four. There is no auto-win scenario here, as you can see. It would be very boring to constantly repeat "everyone will die" and actually kill everyone off.

By the way, such an early appearance of Lerad was not originally planned. Sarabas changed the chronology. The old man was supposed to appear in different scenes for a moment, like when a player levels up, and utter a couple of phrases, but at the same time be frequently mentioned and create tension with his power and pride. In the end, he appeared at the beginning and even revealed his Necromancer nature. This is just about how scripted things are and how much influence players have. The dialogue between Ida and the forest was also not planned. But I thought that Uthar's death was very likely, although not 100%.

And now, some shocking content: there would be no scene with the enraged Uthar if Ida had chosen the path through the mountains. There would be a completely different event instead.

But you should do this in the discussions section, not here.

Nebos, my sweet little nitpicker, do you really think that with my constant whining about “balance,” I would give Alex such a powerful negative trait without any way for him to get rid of it? Sure, I’m not a Mage Guild member with thousands of games under my belt, but I thought things through enough to be absolutely sure about this decision.

I'll play the role of an enemy to everyone at once:

1) Players have become spoiled. This is generally expected, considering that everyone here is already old and demands high-quality content. As with any game, expansions gradually deplete dopamine filters over the years, and everything gray seems black, while white appears colorless. But this is Astral's second game; come on. In the Mesozoic era, players were buried alive without checks, game mechanics, or anything else, and no one complained. This doesn't mean we should do it that way. But we need to be more understanding. You gained your rich experience on ruined quests and thousands of lost posts (including mine), but here, the argument is about 2 gold pieces and a hundred experience points.

2) Revan always plays in other people's games in a maximally provocative and dominant manner; this is a fact. However, the NPCs in Astral treated him with prejudice and contempt; this is also a fact. It's 50/50.

3) Yashchur complains for no reason; this is a fact. He constantly invents reasons why everyone dislikes him; this is also a fact. But he was genuinely deceived and scammed here; this is also a fact. It's 50/50.

4) Astral often takes control over player characters; this is a fact. I consider this simply a GM approach. One can express an opinion about this as a remark; it's indeed questionable, but I don't think it breaks the gameplay.

5) Nebos is the main villain and instigator of arguments; this is the most important fact.

Whatever

After many games and seeing some crap (including in real life), I always expect and prepare myself, at least mentally, for the worst-case scenario. If things turn out better, then great – I was wrong. If they are as expected, well, I was prepared.

Well, I've changed my mind about Nebosa. He promised to create a character that will definitely succeed in my campaign. I throw down the gauntlet! Create it! We’ll see who is right! I promise: I won’t deliberately pit you against characters with opposing alignments. Everything will be standard.

If he doesn’t create it = he chickened out smile04
