Thinking about starting up a theif and just wondered what the kits were like......any favorites, and why? also is there any kit that gives a bonous to number/skill of traps you can set..or does that come with EXP. ???


thanks all

bounty hunter gets bonus traps (and is better at setting them..i think).
Traps kinda get absurdly powerfull (if you take advantage of them, i suppose) IMO.

ok, maybe that was a bit strong.. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
what i saying was that i think you can take advantage of traps to kill some of the most powerfull creatures in the game by setting them under their noses. "

"Hello, Firkraag. Mind if i just place these all around you. OK, now just step here..."

You're right, but really: that's just a CHEESY way to kill an enemy. There are of course other ways....

maybe placing traps within a viewing distance of a neutral enemy should be seen as an offensive act - i.e. make them turn red.

patch, maybe?

just a wee idea.

not a neutral enemy http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif i meant anything white ringed..

i should get more sleep..

Dunno.. It could be offensive, but then again: if setting a trap would be an offense, then you could see throwing a banana on the ground as an offense as well (someone MIGHT slip over it!! )

but then bananas do not have a proximity radius like the traps in soa seem to have. In real life i would REALY get upset if someone put a mine 3 feet away from me, i wouldn;t be so bothered about a banana (has anyone actually ever managed to slip on a banana anyway?? - {i know link is just using it as a metaphor..})

dragon should not be killed by trap. that is just too ridiculus

and why the hell trap is triggered by "red circled enemy" ? ohh, is there a visual detecting device on the trap?

if you set trap in front of a dragon, there should be a initial dialog:
Silver would ask:"
what are you doing?"
you choose:"
1. I am digging a hole so I can shit here (you die)
2. I am setting a trap, now watch how i do it (fails to set trap because dragon interevines)
3. this is for your protection (intelligent check vs dragon, if fail, you die)

red dragon and black dragons would simply be offended and
BLAST!

yeh,
something like that. I suppose the average person on the street wouldn;t really know what you were doing if you decided to drop one in the middle of a street. could be quite an amusing way of lowering reputation. Drop traps all over the place, punch someone and BANG!, 12 traps go off.

Presumable they dont go off when friendly things go near because you've told them about the traps (circular email..). With powerfull things a short dialogue woujld be a good idea, as above.

I've always played with the swashbuckler, because of the bonus fighting skills he/she has. Now I am playing with the assasin, backstabbing is great.

Good point. So you're saying that AI should definitely be enhanced more, to make the game more realistic??
