No I do understand there are multiple options to it. However, I think we can agree the goblin route is more about chaotic evil. The goblins themselves may be lawful evil, but your player ends up just killing everyone thats in their path. Which is a way to be evil. But its only one and there should be many different options. There are 2 ways to solve the issue in the grove aswell, after all.
Well ... i dunno, during the raid people get killed, that is usualy how things work ...
Not sure how this works if you decide to knock them out instead of killing.
As i said already, i would like to see civilians cornered somewhere, and let player to decide what to do with them.
That should satisfy both sides imo.
But when i say that goblin path is not yet over, you start talking about that we should rate only things that are allready ingame.
This is just speculation from you. Why should I believe this is the case? And besides, with the way the evil playthrough ends, the goblins end up hostile to you regardless of your decision of protecting or raiding the grove.
Well ... this (what you quoted) was more like reproach to your own argument ...
Anyway you dont need to thrust me ...
If you wish to thrust NPC, you can thrust what Minthara say ... same as Tiefling NPCs are talking about meeting you in Baldur's Gate ... Minthara is talking about you returning from Moonrise Towers, as something far better than you are.
And i understand that you wish to play your greedy evil character lusting for money, or power ... preferably both ... that will betray, cheat and lie to get the most for himself ... i believe you have that option, its just not on goblin side. :-/
And personaly im just not sure if that is wrong thing ... after all, most villains thrives the best in regular (aka good/neutral) society.
But does it exist at all? Helping the tieflings is not it. The tieflings do not offer you a cure, they just ask you for help. So what about siding with the Shadow Druids? Are they not evil and manipulative? I have not played this so I don't know sadly.
It is ... tiefings offer you a reward ... goblins dont ... so greedy character, no matter how evil, should help them to get that reward ...
As for cure, that is entirely different story ... its up to you if you will believe this Absolute, or you try your luck with Githyanki, or Halsin ... tieflings (nor goblins in fact) have no role in this quest.
Well if you side with shadowdruids (i curently did ... even if i have litteraly no idea how i did it tho. :D) groove will be sealed ... what will happen next i find out soon enough, but curently i dont know.
Either you help Tieflings, kill few Goblins and voila! Its done! No epic fight, no story loops ... simple MMO quest "go and kill that dude with special name". Nothing more, nothing less.
I disagree. Ambushing the goblins inside the Inner Sanctum and fighting them from above is pretty epic. And they may end up calling reinforcements so you can have a very long and drawn-out fight. It is the definition of epic. And as I have pointed out, you get the best rewards by killing the goblin Leaders. This shouldn't be the case, the rewards should be more even.
And as i said, you may turn it into much greater battle ... but you dont "need to".
And that was what i compared ... bare minimum on both sides. Anything you add for only one side, just distorts the results.
And those rewards you keep talking about is loot ... there is difference.
You know, this conversation will be as long as in the other post, where we elonged it to 10 paiges ... bcs no one ever listened, and just repeated the same, and same, and same, and same, and same, and same, ....
It dont become truth just bcs you say it milion times. :-/
Both quite insignificant to be honest, in the end there is little to no difference between "rewards".
Thats just flat out wrong. The circlet which gives you a free cast of "misty step" from Mintharra is among the most powerful items you can pick up in EA. Its extremely powerful for any character. This is exactly what I mean when I talk about poor rewards. The rewards are not even close to comparable.
L-O-O-T -_-
