The Tale of the Dark Knight (DRK Spoilers)

[Grayve]

I really enjoyed it. From the start, I figured we were speaking to ourself, and Fray's corpse was being controlled by our 'shadow'. I wasn't expecting to the L50 fight, though, but the whole 'listen to the voice' in every quest made it clear to me that 'Fray' was trying to get 'me' to acknowledge who the voice was. Other hints include Fray getting weaker over time, which I took to be the corpse slowly falling apart.

By favorite bit was the whole "Leave our weapon behind? After what happened in Ul'dah?!" line, referring the fact we were unarmed at the 2.55 conclusion. I thought that was an awesome touch. And, the DRK is now my favorite job/class story.

As an aside, I just figure whenever I use 'Living Dead' it's my shadow in control, and that 'Darkside' is literally the manifestation of my shadow helping out.

Yup same here when ever I feel you are using dark side/living dead its your dark self "taking the reins" as they said at the end of the 50 quest. I do have to say SE did a bang up job on the quests overall I feel its the best job quest so far. Plus the last note when you learn carve and spit makes me curious on how we will learn new skills in the future. It says something to the effect the abyss whispers to you and youl earn the skill or somethin like that. Do I smell the void in the future?

Plus our job title is interesting.

yeah. i figure it as that too. it's "esteem" influencing your blows to cause the most pain, and temporarily taking control of your unconscious body so you can keep fighting until a healer can get to you. I loved the story quest, and the plot twist at the end. How our character's experiences and pain has turned into something with a desire to let go and be free from it all. it really is sobering.
