CG Midlander

Well, the "original" Heroes of Light at the Battle of Cartenau, y'know?

I'd like to see them as actual characters rather than a flip-floppy metaphor.

I'd like to see them as actual characters rather than a flip-floppy metaphor.

Why? One of my biggest frustrations with version one right up until the shutdown was the uselessness that was forced on my character in almost every cutscene. Every time something cinematic happened I was forced to stand there and watch my NPC allies be cut down while my character just gasped and staggered about until the CS ended and I could finally kick some ass.

It would be the ultimate insult to be now told that this special CG party were the "original" Warriors of Light and that they were somehow more relevant to the events which took place than the rest of the players. I'm sick of being sidelined.

Those people are other adventurers -- they're not showing your character because there are just too many players. So they made up a handful of adventurers to follow that could represent all of us. They're each one of us. We're each one of them. It's not flip-floppy, it just doesn't have your face plastered all over it.
