Hm, I thought that Tuluk is empty, don't know why, maybe read some older thread about it, so I'm in Nak again. I'll die probably soon, so... :)

Should've come to Luir's...

Alright, I decided to give Tuluk another chance and it better be creepy! Last time it seemed like a bunch of hippies prancing around the wineyard.

Should've come to Luir's...

You should go to Luirs. You should try every starting location I think while it's all still here to start in. My only caveat is before starting in Storm plan for a concept that will stand up to some lonliness. Storm is a hard one.

A good rule of thumb that I always try to think of, is everytime I take my PC outside of a city, I prepare myself that *something* may come up that will kill her. It is a harsh game, and as we can all attest to, random crap happens all the time. Of course you can still die in a city, but it is easier to stay alive inside than it is outside. Anytime you take a step out of those gates, just know that your PC may not walk back through them. That is just the nature of the beast. :-)

I was there. Briefly :). Not a bad place at all, like the feeling.

And I'm starting to get used to Tuluk too, but the annoying part is it makes me want to listen to reggae.

The serious reggae (the kind that rarely gets heard in America) is a good vibe for Tuluk.

What is a serious reggae? That exists?
March 23, 2008, 10:16:33 PM #32
Yes. It's got a lot more hiphop influence.

wtf, 'serious' reggae has no hip hop influence.

You are probably thinking of variants of Dub, which in modern times certainly meshes well with hip hop.

Imho, 'serious' reggae would be the early Bob Marley and the Wailers stuff that is NOT on 'Legend.' The stuff that made the transition from Ska to Reggae in the early-mid 60s is sick beyond belief.

I had a PC in Luirs.. And stored him.. It utterly suck age if your times do not match up with the other PCs as mine were not matching..
BUT! If you match up.. It is uber-fun.. And I actually miss my old PC.. Kinda would attempt to get him back.. But bah.

The PC leaders within Luirs (Kuraci bastards they are) are awesome.  :-* Miss you guys.

It always will at first glance. You have to invest some time before you see the stuff there is to see.

You also probably won't find out until its to late and you are going, "Oh shit!"

But that's part of the fun.

Thats a good part of the fun. The action avoids you for a while, but then it just kinda overtakes you. And you realize, you know enough about enough, that, really, you should already be dead. Ha.

I'm personally kind of torn about this.

Someone on this GDB once said that " a bit of the game dies each time you get killed duel-wielding desert elf" And I think it's true. It sucks getting offed out of the blue for no other reason than for your stuff. And lets not forget limitations within the game that encourage this behavior.

But then the game wouldn't be the same if it couldn't happen, would it?
Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.

I have absolutely nothing to add to this thread except I want to ask if it's ok for me to use the title My mindless optimism... [death rant] as a song title.

Just to say that I changed my mind about Tuluk. I didn't stay long enough for it to become totally creepy, but it definitely has the potential to be. And I definitely like the atmosphere with vines, colors, exotic architecture and so on. Also, I think I saw more hideously scarred or deformed people than in Nak. Strange. And i don;t mean mutants, just ordinary poor, extremely unhappy people. Anyway, will definitely play more northerners in the future.
