yeah and it would help if they used WE instead of I all the time...
Yeah, that scene never made any sense to me.... after experiencing the first death there, I always just kill on sight and not worry about any immersion at that stage. Which is kinda sad when one considers it, as there could be a few more options and party interactions. Same with the Astarian introduction, I now just completely skip by him entirely because I don't want to see that stupid unrealistic "scene" again. As it simply would not fit any RPin character of mine in that situation (to turn ones back on a potential enemy so they can slip a dagger to my throat). Even in real life I am more "aware of my surroundings" than that. I guess that comes from years of martial arts training that the personal space/awareness soaks into my blood so I simply cannot see any character of mine being that naive.
well there is a check done to see if you spot the whole thing if you fail you get that scene... not sure what to tell you part of DNd system is luck and the throw of the dice for better or worse.
i had stupid dumped barbarian that was better at arcana and other magical checks on his playthough than buffed up wizzard. Not the best system but what can you do. THe added sting was that the games responses didn't reflect that it was all due to dumb luck.
