A Couple of Questions
Posted: 12 Feb 2004 07:59 AM |
Firstly, with HotU there is the functionality to customise your character after creation, unless I've missed it I'm guessing this is not possible in Vives? I'm refering to Changing hair and skin colour, head etc.
Secondly, my characters alignment has shifted from initial creation and no longer reflects his 'true' personality. Whilst he has commited acts that could be construed as evil and has his alignment shifted by the in-game mechanics, he has also performed 'good' acts which have not been taken into account. Its not really a big deal as I wont be straight jacketed into playing Doujan based on his 'alignment', but it is annoying none the less. Is there anyway that his alignment can be changed to reflect his 'real' personality?

| No, and yes. I can't say how, but it's out there. (Can't let myself be called a metagamer! :D) |

There's a few "bugs?" about which allow you to get Evil -very- fast if you so desire.

He has done a few naughty things in his time, but hes done more good than bad...sort of. Plus he is quite pleasant to most people, although there are exceptions! |

Yeah, Fri'el's the most beautiful person on the server, and she likes torturing people more than anyone else! She's also usually coldly polite. Albeit she -will- tell you that you're doomed at every oppurtunity.
(Well, if anyone likes it more than she does, I'm freaked.)

| Oh! I met Fri'el ... She was very nice to me ... She had one of her friends bring a whole pig for my dog Mythos to eat ... He really liked that! She introduced me to some of her other friends who were very interesting. We had a nice conversation and yes she is very beautiful. I can't help but wonder how she stays so fresh looking while traveling. My makeup always smudges and I get covered in dust ... Bronwyn |

"Naughty things?" You mean things you might do with a lady in private? *blushes* Is that considered evil? Oh my! I didn't know!!! *turns bright red* ... *runs out the door*

I killed a gypsy for not begging for mercy once. It took me three whole days. And she's not really dead, anymore, either way. She's all -better- now.

| Gosh! I've killed a few gypsys in my time too ... I just wanted to sit next to their campfire and dry out a bit and they attacked me ... It didn't take me three days to kill them though *looks puzzled* ... Well in any case, I'm glad everything turned out for the best .. Bronwyn |

| Really? How do you get them to grow back so fast? The other day I broke two using one of those darn shovels and they still look just terrible. *sigh* I started wearing gloves just to cover them up ... Bronwyn |

Well, wearing gloves would keep your hands soft and feminin, at least you have that.
Not mine though, *sigh*, all rough and calloused from my training. Being what you are can't you try some of your "growth majik" on your nails? Also, you ought to have a lot of luck obtaining Aloe and that could be good for both our appearances.
And have you seen that new lavender dye at the Buckshire trading post? It's to DIE for. I'm going to try it on my white cotton lounging pyjamas . . .

I believe character customization is only available for local vault characters. You'll see when you get to the character selection screen a 'customize character' button, but since Vives is local vault, clicking it does nothing.
I dont know if it is possible to enable it for server vaults, and if it was, there is too much customization available for a persistant world. Changing hair colour and the spiel in the character background section is fine, but you also have the ability to change heads, phenotype, name etc. If there was a way to enable it and limit it to just those areas, that would be great, unfortunatley, I havn't heard of it. |

Ah well guess I'll have to put up with Doujan's ugly head! Why is it that the custom heads just look far superior to the bioware ones? imho of course :)
Oh...I have another question too, should item/armour bonuses to the Tumble skill stack to increase AC? If so it doesnt seem to be working for my PC. |

The tumble skill states that only the skill points itself count towards AC. So if you have 4 skill points and 16 bonus points, you still won't get any AC improvement. |

Not sure quite what you mean "after creation" but I was able to customise my character perfectly ok when I actually created him. If this is not so, why would you want to change his head? |

| I meant once youve started playing the game, can you then change some of your characters features as is possible in the single player HotU I believe. As was mentioned earlier this isn't possible on Vives. I just fancied changing my PC's head you see :) |

| Well I have not actually gone through the entire process locally, but it appeared one could only change the portrait. Has anyone actually tried anything else, locally? |

Yes. You can fully change their appearance, short of changing race, and can even chenge their name.
Shame you can't do this on server vaults... |
