#steal this NPC

[yourplayersaidwhat]

DM: now that you’ve broken into the priests room what do you want to do

Warlock: I’m going to look for incriminating documents or like embezzlement or shit (rolls a 1)

DM: you find nothing please roll wildmagic 

(priest sleeping in bed turns invisible)

Warlock: well then I’m taking the potted plant

New NPC 👀

Tried Scrying Glass and Gloss. I think I'm pretty close.

Flaxen swirl / Goldenrod Weaver / Slate Fangs / Plague rare eyes.

#flight rising #dragon share #NPC scries #Unfortunately no dragons exist with these colors 🙃 #If anyone is up for a breeding project #Feel free to steal the scry

MUTUALS come forth, come hear my words. Imagine our f/os in a ace attorney scenario, who's the victim and who's the culprit

#kat text #i got shower ideas #if i were to choose id say kath and hobie are the npcs like this case is abt something missing #and the boss she used to work for framed her for stealing #she did but for the right reason #as black cat yk cat burglar but she always puts shit back #her boss stole that painting and sold it to a rich man #and she stoled it back #yk yk

been poking around the city looking for any fun little things I might've missed so far since I'm so close to finishing the game now, and I found araj oblodra again. astarion was so cute, he asked oak not to drink her potion because 'I don't want you to get hurt', blurted out quickly as if it was embarassing to admit 🥺

#kinda wanted to kill araj oblodra but since she's a neutral shopkeeper npc I am sure that would break my paladin oath #I did steal everything from her basement though #HER BASMENT WITH CORPSES IN IT #the very limited clumsy application of the oath of the ancients is. a shame. #I love playing as a paladin and the oath is a big part of oak's story but also #it would be nice to play a different class and not be bizarrely restricted in my choices on such things #scribblingface plays bg3

Did the au in the other direction too-- put Buster in Earth Day. It's basically just a Human AU only Buster's undead and the theatre gets burnt down at some point. (they fix it dw)

None of the other characters get to be undead because they're teenagers and I'm not THAT evil

#I unironically really like Buster's ED design and might be stealing those colors for an npc in the video game whenever it finally exists #my art lol #earth day/sing #ethan macgregor #buster moon

I accidentally ended up supplying my Rumarin obsession for the next indefinite amount of time. I am extremely not sorry.

Me: I watch D&D Honor Among Thieves for The Plot

The Plot:

#dnd honor among thieves #dnd #xenk yendar #NPC guy steals the show #regé jean page #i ask myself daily what xenk would do

I may be biting off more than I can chew lol

The Like a Dragon/Baldur’s Gate 3 crossover continues! Here we have a wizard Daigo, who just looks like Gale, buff druid Saejima (bear wild shape, am I right?), monk Kiryu because punch punch aaaannddd rogue Majima because cmon, it’s Majima!

I don’t know if I’m ever gonna color this behemoth of a lineart, but it sparked so many new ideas while I was doing it!

#rgg #ryu ga gotoku #crossover art #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #like a dragon #kiryu kazuma #majima goro #saejima taiga #daigo dojima #They’re just enjoying their retirement and playing the game together #Majima would steal everything that isn’t nailed to the ground #Saejima would spend hours on character creation then talk to all animals instead of advancing the quests #Daigo would probably be the one who powerplays and minmaxes #Kiryu would be the one who really enjoys the story and hates being rude to npcs #Yeah I know Majima's got Minthara's armor but c'mon that's basically early game rogue gear 101 #There's a Sussur Dagger there somewhere #It got lost in Kiryu's vest's swirly patterns

Our rogue: I don't what you have against me!

The goddess of fate: You stole my artificial sweetener, you bastard!

#magia record #kasane ao #been going through early arc 2 again lately and... man :( #ao is just constantly trying to hype herself up and pretend that she's not scared #she desperately wants to get the purification system so nobody will need grief seeds anymore #not just because that's a good thing in general but because she's so badly traumatized by the blood tragedy #for a faceless NPC the bat has a really strong sway over ao's character #fucked this girl up so bad she joined the magical girl yakuza that's planning on murdering people and stealing their APS #seeing ao refer to battles as ''easy mode'' is depressing too #since trying to act like it's all a game is the only way she can avoid completely breaking down #ao... :(((( #hello tag essay readers i hope you're doing well today

who needs gale's hand? i got a sweet deal right here on this one right here

#i thought itd be funny to steal it and turns out thers dialogue for it! #also i love popper. top 10 npc #txt #bg3 #adding it to the collecton of body parts that ive been stuffing in the camp chest. i like to imagine its like a nest for the githyanki egg #i have in there also #along with a bunch of notes and books #quinn #bg3 playthru

[weepylucifer]

On one hand, Harry picking up clothes that give him stat buffs and NPCs actually noticing it later is extremely fun gameplay. On the other hand... feels bad to steal from the Smoker and Steban of all people man :/

#if i had some of my clothes stolen and then saw a cop run around in them i would feel just extremely bad about it #sure they both say it's fine. and in any other video game that'd be that #the writers have the npcs say it's fine so you don't have to think too deeply abt it while playing #but this is disco elysium. everything is meant to be thought about deeply #how fine exactly is this? being a cop stealing from civilians? stealing from vulnerable civilians too #if they'd taken objection to their stuff being stolen what tf could they have possibly said or done abt it? #posts by me #more of my disco elysium impressions

Well, I'm getting to the point in RangerCamp where I have to start writing dialogue for the Rangers. And as every time I start trying to think of things for them to say my brain freezes up and I've never heard of these characters before in my life, I'm going to have to try to crowdsource.

The Rangers involved in the mod are Candaith, Radanir, Lothrandir, Corunir, and Golodir. Please let me know if you can think of random comments they might make to the player as you play!

For reference, here's a sampling of the kinds of things Skyrim AI is able to react to:

Player health

Player race

Vampire/werewolf status

What kind of clothes the player is wearing (light armor, heavy armor, mage robes, etc.)

Specific articles of clothing

What kind of weapon the player has equipped (both in the sense of daggers vs. warhammers and to a limited extent details like whether it's Daedric, what it's made of, etc.)

Player skill level (I.E. if you have a high pickpocket skill -- "Hands to yourself, sneak thief," etc. etc.)

Location types (like bandit camps, towns, Nord or Dwemer ruins, military camps, etc. etc)

Specific locations

Items the player has in their inventory

Enemy races

Enemy weapon/magic types

Player faction/crime rankings

Most of these things in combination

Probably other things I've forgotten about right now! Bethesda built a really involved system that they could have used to make followers interact with the player and then....... only used it for Serana......

Note #1: Getting followers in Skyrim to follow you is harder than it sounds (and probably should be). In order to avoid common glitches and in porting the player/ranger relationship over from LotRO (and to allow for basic debugging that I have found necessary to Skyrim gameplay in general), I have made it so that they will tolerate any crime committed by the player. In intention, this is to allow for them generally trusting the player and assuming that you have a good reason for doing illegal things like breaking and entering. (And to prevent them from randomly becoming hostile if you ask them to pick things up, and then hunting you across the entire map trying to murder you after you dismiss them. UTHGERD.)

In practice, you can attempt to murder a child in front of them and they will cheerfully join in. I would say that obviously I would never do this, but, I mean. I'm learning. I needed to understand how the NPC morality system worked.

Please don't do this.

More to the point of this discussion, there is no possibility of them ever saying, "No I'm not going to do that," or, "Maybe you shouldn't do that." They are 100% on board with literally anything you care to do or to ask them to do.

Note #2: I'm not really trying to work the Rangers into the lore of Tamriel at all. I don't think I could do that in a way that satisfied me and didn't bastardize both worlds' lore. So. No trying to tie them into the specifics of Tamriel's worldspace or explain how they got there please.

I also may not be able to include any given suggestion on account of the system to get NPCs to say things is real finnicky. Mostly it's a matter of loading an NPC with a line, pointing it in the right general direction, and hoping it hits your target, and sometimes it doesn't. See: guards in vanilla Skyrim commiserating with me on how stupid and unwieldy warhammers are while I actively have one equipped, I believe because I also had a high one-handed on that character? Anyhow. If the line interacts badly with the backend or doesn't hold up while testing then I won't use it, unfortunately.

#rangercamp #technically theres a way to make them be okay with stealing and sneaking around #but not violent crimes like assault and murder #unfortunately skyrim npcs do not recognize vampires #specifically this is why i decided to make them okay with violent crime #because if you the player see a vampire and decide to get the first hit in before it attacks you #theyll get mad #because they cant see the glowing red eyes ig who even knows #i think this is a glitch but its an extremely common one so i have to work around it
