Whoa back on the language there. Don't forget, this is a family site, there are going to be children/teens viewing this site. Read the ToS, i believe somehwere it states something to that effect. BTW, i don't think Anomen is black.

<font color="red">EDIT] Just noticed that you mentioned the problem with Yoshimo</font>
<font color="white">DSlaytern] Just some nuggets of wisdom I learnt from another forum. When you want to quote something offensive, take heed to edit the bad stuff as well. Cheers. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Why is it racist that Yoshimo attacks you? If it was a caucasian character, it would be equally as racist, albeit in the opposite direction.

Thres a good quote from Pratchett that applies here, But I dont recall it precisely.

Anomen looks black to me... I just thought it was strange that the asian and black npc's in the game betrays you.... well sorry folks

Anomen is not Black!!!
If you want black, Valygar is black.
Check Anomens Paperdoll, he aint black according to me!

Yoshimo's story is one of tragedy. He did not backstabbed you out of freewill, but because Jon Irenicus( JI) placed a Geas on Yoshimo which basically meant that Yoshimo had to obey JI's every command or die.

His redemption comes about when you forgive him for his transgressions and send his heart to the appropriate temple( Ilmater if I recall correctly).

Anomen is racist. He accused me of stealing his bling-bling [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I never had the chance to kill or forgive him, why not??? he did betray me in the asylum, but never showed up in the game again...

Valygar has one of the coolest personalities of all the NPC characters, yet he is black. Of all the male NPCs I had in my pary, I always felt that my PC, as a paladin, got along the best with Valygar, because he's totally loyal, and he's totally honorable. That doesn't sound very racist to me. Look at Edwin: he's the most selfish, arrogant sumana gun you'd ever hope to have in your party, and he's white. Jon Irenicus, the worst of them all, is a white guy.

If you recall, after you "defeat" JI with the help of the lunatics, JI sics several Thieves on you. Yoshimo will be one of them. This is only when you bring Yoshimo all the way.
