Welcome to Gaia! ::

nope didnt rp couldnt find anything my style...

if you can start one up thats more than high school romance. one that also shuns power gaming.

Power Gaming more often called Power Playing in my experience. Is when someone put quite a bit of emphasis. On the power of the players. More violent Role-plays often can be classified as Power Playing Role-plays.

Oh yeah, how have you been Repressed Memories?

I've been basically doing the same thing as I normally do. A bit of Role-Playing here and there. Usually as the most experienced one in the Role-play. A bit of Gaming, Console Gaming, Web Rpg's and MMorpg's (Massively Multi-player Role-playing Games). I have no clue what he o stands for. You probably know what MMorpg's stands for being a gamer and all. But most aren't familiar with that abbreviation so I sort of gained the habit of explaining it.

Anyway, what games were you playing in your absence from Gaia?

If you are looking for some good online Rpg's. I recommend trying out Shaiya at Aeriagames.com. There are several interesting games at that sight. Shaiya, oddly enough is geared toward Player versus Player. There are only a few zones were Player versus Player occurs. So, if you are like me and just want to enjoy Player versus Environment. This game will still be entertaining for you. If the type of Mmorpg that this game is doesn't suit you. You could always try out one of the other Mmorpg's that were made by that gaming company.

I personally hate WoW. Because of the horrid customer service I've seen in all of Blizzards other games.

With the bulk of my free time. I've been playing Dragon Age Origins and logging in online. Been trying to develop a strategy. That allows me to play threw the entire game on Nightmare Mode with a Rogue from beginning to end. Without using any of the cheats in the game.

So far, the best result went like this.

Specializations trained for the main character:

Combat Training
Poison Making (focusing mainly on bomb type Area of Effect type poisons).
Herbalism

Skills needed:

Pick locks (or whatever that one skill is that makes it easier for you to open locked chests).
Skill points mainly focused on your Rogue skills.
Secondary points spent on your Dual Wielding skill tree.

I can't seem to find a good balance. Between a build that uses Cunning and one that doesn't. I get the best results with the statistics Strength, Dexterity and Endurance.

Repressed Memories, did you know. That your post count is still competitive in this guild? Since you left, there have only been a few people that have passed you up. In the two years you've been gone.

You are currently in 10th place. In terms of the highest post count of all time in this guild.

Well, I've been getting into the more advanced character builds. For a rogue levels 1-7. Higher cunning makes it easier to persuade people. Gives a higher Armor Penetration. Increases your skills in Picking Locks on doors and chests. I think I might affect Critical I'm not sure.

But after you hit level 8. There is a skill that allows you. To use your Cunning Score as your main statistic for damage. If your Cunning score exceeds that of your Strength.

There is only one case I've found that falls into this categorize. I won't give anything away plot wise. But, there are cases in the game. Where being a Master of Coercion is not enough to persuade someone to see things your way. There actually are cases. Where you need to be a Master of Coercion plus have a pretty decent Cunning Level. I'm guessing you can pass these requirements with Insane Cunning alone and no Coercion skill. But, I had Master Coercion and 22 Cunning. So, the requirement is obviously higher than this. What I'm saying, is choosing the option Persuade. Will not always make the person you are speaking to agree with you.
