How was I a Coward???

[Bull00]

So I Gave my sword to King Graveth as a Mecenary to start things off, work my way up. Contract is for 3 months. One of the lords calls me down to Chalbek Castle to join the war against those inbred Nords. Was a pain in the ass to figure that out, but i finally got there barely in time after asking around. So he has me wait around while he and the other lords and king are fighting around the castle, then asks me to go fetch some cattle. Go to the nearst village, get the cattle, come back, but i can't seek an audience with him cause their all in the middle of a battle with Lord Olaf outside the castle.

So naturally, i hop in, whipp some ass and ask questions later. When it's all over, i'm able to get to the lord, finish the quest, and all seems good. Then he asks me: "What happened in the battle with Lord Olaf, I hoped you werent seriously wounded cause I wouldn't want to fight next to a coward"... What?? I just stomped those dirty Nords into the ground with everyone... And all the other lords that participated in the battle, including the king, say something like that and my standing with them all drops! Especially the King.....

So I reloaded (had just saved before the fight) and replayed it... same thing!!! I havent run from a battle yet. What gives??? And they specifically mention the battle with Lord Olaf that just ocurred.... Anyone? I'm pissed.

relax its just a game...

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. As how i appreciate your input, it actually wasn't called for. I'm pissed in "Gaming Standards". Which means it doesn't actually effect my real life. So don't worry! I was just curious as how this could happen when i didn't run away from the fight. So again, thanks for that, but next time, go stuff yourself unless you have something useful to say to me.

i believe King Graveth was correct in calling you a coward.

Sounds more like that they don't fight alongside with one that retreats from a battle and since you're a mercenary they await to see, that you do as you are told or they're trying to ignore that you fought better than they did, remember the pecking order. Also you were doing a guest that shouldn't usually include figthing.

King Graveth is a senile man. I once undertook a mission to forge a letter made from one of his secret spies, Lord Tribidian, who was a Swadian in disguise. I sacrificed one of my Hired Blades to complete that mission, and King Graveth ousted Lord Tribidian from the Rhodoks, and now, Tribidian is in the Khanates!

And he'll be a weak link there, with his footmen in between the horse archers.

Question Answered.

Man. This poor guy is getting bogus responses D=

I feel your pain, dude. I've never retreated or surrendered, even at the cost of getting captured by being outnumbered. Always picked the chivalric way in a conversation for more honor and less money, and I STILL get the occasional beration from a Lord for no goddamn reason. Da ****?

It just happens, but keep fighting the good fight dude, and you should be fine. When you eventually own the map and the lords are your lapdogs, who'll poke fun at you then, eh?

And FYI, forget Ijimon. From the looks of his only posts, he's probably a troll. All he's done is look for a way to push yer buttons =P

 

[Bull00]

I never thought of it like that... interesting. The game has more protocol and AI than it looks to have. Now i feel better! Graveth and his Lords are just douchbags. This is my first playthrough, maybe next time i'll play through as Swadia. Although on this playthrough they are getting their ass kicked... They're stuck in the middle.

 

[Emperor Lancaster]

However, all of the other Lords in Rhodok are pretty decent. Most of them own extremely wealthy towns. Do you not think so?

 

[Bull00]

Ummm.... it seems so. I can't find any bandits or deserters in Rohdok anymore, it seems pretty clean and happy. I'm still in the early stages... think i'm like lvl 20. I frickin love this game. Haven't found anything this cool since the original Lord of the Relms.

Are you planning to stay as a Mercenary or join a certain faction?

or starting rebellion against the King called you a coward?

 

[Katana_Geldar]

Too bad you can't slap your gauntlet aginst someone who has called you a coward. 

 

[FrisianDude]

Leather gloves, okay, but if you slap someone with your gauntlet then you ARE a coward as you'd knock them out in stead of challenging them.

Just joined the faction, haven't had another incodent. So.. oh well. Being the kings ***** isn't all that fun though. Does being a vassal have it's perks? I've got a town now... but haven't had time to go to it since I'm fallowing Graveth around licking his boots.

This is always a possiblity... How do you do that?

 

[dunde]

For every faction, there's a claimant. You can search them in castle of the other factions. He will offer you to help him take the crown from current king. But don't do it until you re strong enough and having several lords as friends. And beware, the native's rebelion quest is buggy in the end.
