P.S. re: "thine" Nate Send a noteboard - 20/09/2011 04:57:27 PM
You may know this, but you're actually only supposed to use "thine" and "mine" when preceeding a word that starts with a vowel. Thine ears, thine eyes. It keeps the two vowel sounds from running together, which they would do if you said "thy ears, thy eyes". It's like in French when you say "l'amour" instead of "la amour", and it's the same reason why we say "an apple" instead of "a apple". For your sentence, it should be "Lend me thy vast expertise."

My companions! Lend me thine vast expertise Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:56:19 PM 1029 Views
Hm. It depends on what you mean by "rewarded." beetnemesis - 20/09/2011 04:15:18 PM 737 Views
No, not quite Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:29:42 PM 666 Views
I don't think I know anything that matches what you want. Nate - 20/09/2011 04:39:22 PM 636 Views
You are a horrible human being. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 08:24:05 PM 274 Views
I'm morally grey! Women love me, and men want to be like me. *NM* Nate - 20/09/2011 09:15:31 PM 307 Views

I thnk Fallout 3 gave you bonuses for being neutral. MightyYT - 20/09/2011 04:52:11 PM 621 Views
That was the first that came to my mind, too. *NM* ironclad - 21/09/2011 09:46:11 AM 268 Views

Damn, I knew it! Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 05:11:25 PM 639 Views
"Netural" isn't about picking "good and evil" choices. LadyLorraine - 20/09/2011 04:59:42 PM 626 Views
It'd be pretty difficult to specifically reward you for being a 'gray' character. (Two games) Jacob - 20/09/2011 05:02:28 PM 761 Views
Take Knights of the Old Republic, for example Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 05:08:04 PM 685 Views
That's not so much an alignment as just metagaming the system. Fanatic-Templar - 20/09/2011 09:27:49 PM 634 Views
thank you for phrasing that better than me *NM* LadyLorraine - 20/09/2011 11:11:54 PM 278 Views
Maybe I didn't explain right Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 11:19:51 PM 582 Views
I'd say that's evil. Fanatic-Templar - 21/09/2011 03:00:32 AM 747 Views
of course, then you get into question of whether actions like that example are evil LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 04:03:03 AM 630 Views
Questions of morality are the great fun of philosophy . Fanatic-Templar - 21/09/2011 05:24:50 AM 587 Views

That's actually a pretty narrow view of Neutral when it comes to Alignment or Morality. Jacob - 21/09/2011 02:19:34 PM 624 Views
I thought I had allowed for what you said. Fanatic-Templar - 21/09/2011 04:33:30 PM 561 Views
It's not a neutral outlook Dark Knight - 21/09/2011 06:27:27 PM 688 Views
See, what you're talking about IS in fact considered EVIL. Jacob - 21/09/2011 08:33:30 PM 620 Views
You might want to try The Witcher series. Zalis - 21/09/2011 05:16:05 AM 604 Views
I just played the first one... LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 02:14:13 PM 662 Views
Grey decisions are good but... Dark Knight - 21/09/2011 06:19:04 PM 704 Views
they don't reward it because, for the most part, they don't want you taking a middle ground. LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 07:10:48 PM 584 Views
Well that's just stupid. Tired of picking the 2 sides over and over *NM* Dark Knight - 21/09/2011 08:02:11 PM 311 Views
Neutrality is often boring or selfish. Good stories seldom have truly neutral protagonists. *NM* Zalis - 22/09/2011 06:27:05 PM 292 Views
Are you kidding? Dark Knight - 22/09/2011 06:54:19 PM 657 Views
There's a difference between doing "bad" things for a good purpose, and being neutral. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 22/09/2011 09:12:16 PM 261 Views
That's chaotic good, not neutral. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2011 10:36:28 PM 303 Views
I have an on-topic comment as well as a general rant on game morality systems. Aemon - 21/09/2011 06:43:21 PM 787 Views
if they wanted to make the conversation mechanics more complicated... LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 07:14:21 PM 702 Views
I don't care if it's complicated so long as it's clear. Aemon - 22/09/2011 08:27:46 PM 591 Views
I agree with this, actually. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/09/2011 09:17:23 PM 305 Views
I agree with that, too. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2011 10:38:15 PM 289 Views
