Do you talk with the Dragons?

Dundee Slaytern · 10-24-2001, 08:47 AM

I am curious to know, how many of you actually bother to talk with a Dragon first before fighting it?

I did not in the past in order to gain an advantage, but now that I am used to them, I have been talking with them first.

The following is a conversation I had with a Dragon in Watcher's Keep, note that the conversation had several options, this is merely one choice.

Saladrex: Greetings, puny one. I am Saladrex. I assumed the disturbance I heard earlier was another attack by the mind flayers, but I see now that you must have been the cause. It is nice to see a new mouse stumble into my lair.

Azrael: Puny one? Mouse? I am Azrael - a hero of great reknown! Try to be civil, or I shall have to teach you some manners.

Saladrex: What is it about us dragons that brings out the violent urges in all these lesser creatures we meet? Must be the treasure, I guess. Wouldn't you rather hear the fascinating story of how I ended up in this place?

Azrael: No - not really. I just want to fight.

Saladrex: Why do these things always end in violence? (sigh) Very well, once again I must prove the superiority of dragons over would-be heroes.

Yes, I talked to Firkraag, then I
said: well, I'll be leaving, and then
proceded to beating the hell out
of him.

I also talked to the black dragon in
Suldanesslar, he turned hostile so it
was a bit more difficult fight. That
INSECT SWARM he casts really bites!!!!!

I talked to Saladrex as well and said I'd like to leave in order to prepare for the battle (he's evil). But when I cast bless on my party, he became hostile!!!

I always talked to dragons.. The conversations are sometimes very funny. I found Firkraag's accent itself hilarious.

Some of the ToB dragons are just nasty, though.. Not at all funny, especially when they attack.

I noticed the smarter AI too.. Seladrex turned hostile when I started summoning creatures.
