    I've never visited it even once outside the Isle of Storms sequence.

    *smirk* It is kind of shocking how many sell themselves that cheaply...Maybe the NSA should also try that advance: Let them pay you 10 Bucks a week and get a chip implanted that allows them to track you whereever you are, track whatever you do or say... hey, maybe even think (if any) ... might save them alot of cash in the end when you give them all the info that freely :)

    Probably not that far-fetched. What we also heard during the hangout is that perhaps the Shadowlords are being reincarnated/reimagined.

    Do you think watchers report back instantaneously or does killing them stop their tattling?

    Eh, either way they gotta be made dead.

    Good question. Personally, I prefer them disabled and lying on the ground in pieces :D

    It isn't bribery. But the fact she pays you for doing evil and not walking the path is highly questionable.

    I can make more gold killing things on my way to the Oracle then what I get from her.

    She's dead to me.

    Yes, and as do I. Personally, I think that many people just see her as an ATM now.

    Yeah... no. Sorry. It has the most warped version of everything. I've never lied and always spoken truly to every NPC, completed every quest that pushes truth over any other attribute (Owl's Head has a few) and yet it randomly one day decided that I hold truth in disdain for no reason (has never given a reason for the switch to the negative view). Until the Oracle actually says why it sees you doing something wrong, then there is no consequence for actions because it doesn't say what actions it is expecting for that virtue. Blind judgement doesn't assist with consequences of actions.

    I've made the choice of following my own conscience and do what I feel is right, rather than following the advice of a mechanical statue that is probably either programmed or being operated by a person/being that I no nothing about.
    I do not like to blindly follow anyone, whether in game or in RL.

    I will be calling her "Flexcube" from this point forward. Please join me in what will be known by future generations as The Great Re-Branding of the Oracle.

    Ahh, but if she told you what you did wrong, then you'd rely on her to tell you all the time. You wouldn't think as deep on your actions. I agree her ideals may be warped, but that can also be a way to get you to think more about it all.

    [Also, I'm sure they are not done with all the triggers for virtue plus/minus, and I'm sure they have more ideas on getting feedback from her, so that explains some of the inconsistency.]

    Now this is a movement I can get behind :). I would love for game features to allow us to "raid" story towns and smash the temples and shrines and pillage the shops. Not that my avatar would want to do that directly ;-). But yes, I will join in the scrutiny of the Oracle and the health of the true spirituality of Novia.
