RPG Heroes are jerks
« on: March 25, 2010, 02:56:54 AM »
Children yet, the tale to hear, Eager eye and willing ear, Lovingly shall nestle near.  In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream --Lingering in the golden gleam --Life, what is it but a dream?

I've often wondered why smashing barrels and pots owned by village commoners was such a necessary part of accomplishing important quests.

Well if villagers would stop leaving valuable quest items in pots when they know a hero is looking for them this wouldnt be a problem.

Don't forget, there is also a great deal of satisfaction in destroying said pots and crates.

The village commoners should just count their blessings and be grateful that THEY aren't being smashed.

^ Agreed. Especily the stupid ones who know your the damn hero but make you run errands for them in order to get a quest item.
