I'm not really used to this online community biz, and am only learning the ropes re: the civil and not-so-civil forum dwellers. This game, I feel, is worth the bit of agro online comments provokes, however.
Yeah, it takes some getting used to. Some people are just out to provoke reactions, and I'm still giving in occasionally myself. Everyone has to learn sometime, though.
Plus, I feel that a lot of people are on here to contribute - take, for example, aj, Stabbey, HassatHunter, Testad, Ellary etc. just to name a few. Others are on here because they are having fun, like Ellary, Limz, aj and Testad, so it takes some getting to know people before you really know who you can make jokes around and who's here for something more serious.
That, and there is a nasty subset of trolls (I won't name names), who you also have to learn to identify and learn to ignore. It takes time, and I'm still not sure who all's what right now myself. But it'll sink in, no worries!
So yeah - your idea here gets the thumbs up from me, but I'm partly suspicious that it's already implemented in some form (lazy, lazy me, won't check). Maybe someone can politely enlighten us??
I know that examining enemies for their info is in. But getting extra lore from statues and locations is not. You do, however, get varying degrees of insight and distinct perspectives depending on who or what you play, which might be what you're thinking of. If something else is the case, then yeah, I could use some enlightening up in here.
Welcome to the forums! It is my utmost wish that you can take away a positive experience from what we've got going on here.
