Best moments in AoD (spoilers)

[Lurker King]

Is there a difference in how npcs treat you in general when your character is a womyn?

I think that some persuasion checks in the outpost are easier to women.

 

[Lurker King]

Where did you get a fake Helm of Destiny?

I only ever found the real one, sometimes hid it from Gaelius, sometimes gave it to him.

There is no fake helm.

 

[MRY]

This is not a "moment," but I had basically avoided reading anything about the game until writing what I had to write about it, and now reading all these threads, it's like the original Wasteland paragraph book where there are these entirely different stories waiting to be found, only there they were fake, and here they're real. . . .

 

[Commissar Draco]

There is no fake helm.

The helm you got does nothing, has no value and stats so for me its fake aka worthless peace of junk... same shit as magic ring of general Glabro you can get in Teron.... but that one you could sell for some shekels.

 

[Shadenuat]

The only purpose of the helm I found is

to use it in dialogue when you sit on a golden throne chair under Meru's castle at the "world tear", and there Balzaar speaks to you with unique long dialogue, I believe different one than even if you have high INT/CON

cons: not enough fireballs rape

Just like Dead State.

It's a hell of a thing, killing a man actually getting to play a game like this where everything we talk about here comes true.

That is a silly reason to call it fake. You can use itnin Ganezzar as Shadenaut said.

It didn't worked as advertised=fake.

I don't like the item either, but it can be used to protect you in Meru's secret chamber and is necessary to unlock the "Magus" achivement.

Fucking Paulus putting Meru back into his place, throwing him away like a stray cat
"So we're Knight Templars now and shit? Cool. Oh and by the way all that templegod stuff, I blew it up."
"YOU DID WAT"

Playing necromancer on raiders in Darius Tomb

And making rebel ordu leader go against his khan, then specifically asking him to send ordu objecting to his rule as cheap meat for you to fight so (quote) "I could play a hero" - and getting Imperial Guard reputation for that fake staged fight against weakened ordu

Watching Agathoth back away from your barrage of liquid fire vials until he cowers in the corner like a little girl while his hit points relentlessly fall to zero: Priceless

After about 6 playthroughs I still haven't got to Darius' Tomb. I also forget how.

 

[Nael]

Save scummed to kill the muggers at the beginning of Maadoran on my first playthrough as a merc.

....

Retooled my build and started over. Killed them in the first try on my next playthrough.

I think you only get it if you work for Gaelius

Nah, it's not fake. Actually it is a

communication device Balzaard used to speak to his puppets on our plane. Darius was the last one but he ended up mad and worthless for his master.

So, nobody really know its real purpose until it's revealed to you.

The main thing is that he teaches how to make the ritual at Al-Akia, bypassing the lore requirement.

I think feeding the Arch entity is my favorite part. The reaction you get from big, tough, desert raider Esbenus when you bully him into continuing the process is great, as is the reaction from the Oracle as you conclusively demonstrate to him that the object of his worship is some sort of horrifying demon instead of a benevolent great spirit.

 

[Malakal]

Damn, the Ascension ending kicks ass, got to say the picture, the music and the text really does it for me. So thats my best moment.

 

[axedice]

Convincing Belgutai to attack his Khan, watching him slaughter Thorgul like a helpless sheep, then killing his bondsman side by side was truly epic.
What truly got me though, was then telling Belgutai to send Thorgul's man to die at the pass, turning yourself into a war hero



Not throwing his sword to Belgutai, then watching him die with frustration in his eyes and cementing Thorgul's rule was also golden

Is it much/any different from the conversation you get if you have [Mind Shield]?

 

[AbounI]

I've just finish the Tower of Zamedi exploration: talked with you know who then fuck him.And it was really delicious to learn about House Crassus and the Magi.I've not yet walk in Ganezzar, but it greatly help to understand the personnality of Meru and the apocalyptic state of the world.So well written, what a divine slap in my face. Perhaps one of the most helpuf dialogue concerning the lore and the background of the fallen empire
