Who is playing Chaotic evil. I mean kill everything than can be killed in the game?

T'Rang, Umpani, etc extermination! Total Hollocauste game.

I'm too weak now to do it but I have a darn high envie to slauther any potential target on sight (Even NPC!)

I did not kill everything or everyone, just Myles (for not going into the Umpani base with us), Rattus (for being a Rodent), RSF-81 (for being a Savant creation), some T'Rang guys that smart-mouthed me about being in one of their rooms, Madras (for not paying up) and probably someone else that I fail to remember at the moment. Not chaotic evil but definitely an evil twist to my game. :D

I still have my game saved just prior to going to Ascension Peak...levels 27 & 28...wanting more power...thinking nothing of wiping out everyone on the planet...you are really tempting me! ;)

Ice3 & Moni;

I had recently been contemplating how playing the game so evily would pan out. I guess it would depend a lot on if you were the sort of evil that used people before you killed them (and thus got a lot of quests, items, etc) or the sort that just kills everyone in sight. I'd think the later way would be a rather shorter game since you won't get too many quests from the people you've killed (Ranger! I told you not to shoot first and ask for quests later!)

If you try it this way, let us know how it works out! Currently I'm trying to be ultra-good (bought the item from the Rats instead of killing them for it, don't have anyone who can pickpocket, became a templar, etc). I figure I've missed a few items for it but I don't think it has really effected my game greatly one way or another.

That just might be on my agenda for my next game. For now, I'm playing goody-goody so as to uncover as many of the sub-quests as possible. Question is: is it possible to finish the game if you go on a total rampage right from the start? Ex., how would you get inside the Mook base at Arnika if you decimated both the Umpani and the Trang?

The other thing that may keep me in check is that combat can get so darned tedious, I'm not sure I can bear the boredom of having to fight every step of the way. Also, I'd definitely want to remain friendly with certain shops so I can trade. I wonder if shopkeepers turn hostile if you start killing the townfolk?

I mean pure Chaotic Evil is not killing in sight. But Rather use up to the last drop what you can get out of the NPC or other monster and then kill it. You need of course some benefits :D

And yes I would not kill the shop keeper because I need to rifil and buy some stuff as well. How the hell can I become a Death Bishop of the Imp Church if I cannot buy spells!

Answer to your three questions, Nix:

Yes

Pick up the alliance papers from Z'ants dead body

No. At worst they turn neutral and you can bribe them back to friendly. (The're may be some exceptions: Braffit & Lay Brothers for exemple)

No, no, no. You're missing the point Ice3. Lets focus on the key word here "CHAOTIC!" This means random executions. Indiscriminant slaughter. Thoughtless violence. FUN!

The story line in this game is a little thin so far anyhow. Think about it, a magical monkey from outer space hires a bunch of level 1 weaklings to protect him. He is an advanced space monkey yet he's dumb enuf to put his life in the hands a some LEVEL 1 wuss? And then there's this Dark Savant guy. He seems to be the villan. The ugly guy in the upper monestary says the Savant has a weapon that can kill everybody on the planet instantly. Now you tell me, if you were a villan and had supreme power fromt he start, would you be stupid enuf not to use it? "Oh, I can push this button right now, kill everybody, ascend, and become a god... but nah, who wants to do that?" How did he become so powerful in the first place? Surely not with strategies like that!

OK, sorry for that fit of rage there. But really, the game is more fun Diablo II style in my opinion. Even got RPG reasons behind chaotic style:

We are a band of intellectual puritans. Everybody else in this game is STUPID and deserves to die. We are on a holy quest to distill the gene pool.

Kill them all!!!

LOL Brex!
I did play the "Use them now, Kill them later" approach.
The ones I had forgotten I'd killed were Milano Calzone, Don Barlone and the Rapax Queen. (Of course I freed her and got the EP's first.) ;)

Yes this is much better said. A chaotic Evil will ot kill randomly, he will use any possible tool, NPC, thing, whatever to reach his own goal. Even killing will be in his tool kit. So milking a NPC for free XP because of a quest then "retire" him for more XP, gold and items will be more in the phylosophy of a Chaotic Evil guy.
