Re: Legends of Faerun - Closed (Game started)
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, but I'm going AI. I really just can't stand the boredom anymore. I know it's a di*k move, especially in this game where the game especially suffers from this behaviour, but damn....
[RANT]
I was really hyped about this game you know? I was really looking forward to write some nice AAR's and roleplaying. But EA Oceania? Seriously? In the start I took the idea with humor, "I mean, they can't be that bad, right?". But damn.. Oceania is simply dull. It has dull gameplay and dull thematics. Triton Kings from the freaking little mermaid disney flick? WTF?
God knows I tried writing AAR's, but the only concept I had was the Triton nobles and their superiority (which can be seen statwise and is hinted in the descriptions). But I really don't want to write about racial superioity (not even in this context), you know, because of what that wanna-be artist with stupid moustache did some years ago.
And the gameplay.. Ugh.. Don't even get me started on this. I did *lots* of fetishes, I did lots of clams and behold! It was dull! The final nail in my coffin was when my prented got feebleminded by a lucky mind blast. It just took me 30 turns to realize that I'm basically dead. You know what kind of cool late-game stuff you can with Oceania nationals? Yeah, not lots. I did empower myself to astral, but meh, I was never able to really benefit from it.
I just finally got sick of it. I'm sick of moving fetishes around. I'm sick of spending my hammer-time to forge Amulets of Fish. I'm sick of the fact that they eat absolutely crucial misc slots from my only battlefield mages. I'm sick of desperately hoping good paths on my Spectres. I'm sick of the fact that I wasn't able to summon my first Lamia Queen until 3 turns ago. I'm sick of hoping that helheim would come underwater to kick my *** and relieve me from playing. I'm sick of being hit by all nice late-game stuff by Helheim and wishing that I had access to those. I'm sick of doing half-assed turns because I just couldn't care less of this half-finished nation that is somehow in the vanilla roster.
I considered trying to find a sub, but that would a total di*k move. The nation is doomed. But instead of going out with a bang, it's withering away, a slow, painful & dull death.

I'm really sorry for leaving this game like this. I really am. But I just can't stand it anymore.
But I learned something. Never, ever join a EA game wiht random nations. There just is no way I'm going to play vanilla EA Oceania ever again.
