Why aren't Leuthilspar Elven Guards evil?

Postby Lahgen » Fri May 13, 2005 9:05 pm

They murder any good aligned non-elf that enters the city. They can detect evil elves, so I know they can detect alignments...

Elves justify their evil by claiming all other races are beneath them, and so killing them is not evil. Must be nice.

The opposite holds true also.

Certain mobs in the evil hometowns are aggro to the inhabitants, aren't they? (or were at one time, I admit to a bit of ignorance on this)

Since these players are -1000 align, the mobs would have gone good by now.

Quick, Easy, Cop-out answer: mobs don't change.

Even if we accept that that does not make them good, they could be neutral and xenophobic. Heck, we know they're xenophobic . . .

If a good aligned thief breaks into your home, do you stop to ask questions? I expect not, so don't break into another's home when you are not invited.

Well, if you know the person is good aligned, then it stands to reason that there must be more to it than it seems and thus perhaps you need not kill the person. Perhaps they're being made to go there against their will or something.

So you're saying that a good aligned person is incapable of evil actions?

I guess everyone must be evil, damn. I thought there were heroes left.

You know, I'm a very private person IRL, much like the elves. I don't give a damn if you're good or evil aligned; if you come in my home without my permission I'm still gonna kick your ass. If you manage to get out a good enough explanation in the middle of the beating for why you're there, I might be nice and call an ambulance for you afterward.

All your golden glow is gonna do is give me a target.

ya know, it might be cool if you were able to kill the guards, to get "captured" by the elves, then they make you do a quest to see if you can actually gain access. The whole "outcast from whatever town, kind of sucks. I'd like a chance as my main to go in and explore, If I wipe out the gate guards I ought to be strong enough. Right?

Nevermind. I just thought about it, if that happened, then some imm who is partial to elves might bump their hps up by about 5k. So, as Ambar said, if you want to see the elf town, roll an elf, otherwise you can wonder.

Heh, don't most level 50 mobs already have 10k hps or so? ;+) Maybe not, but it feels like it sometimes.
