An interesting moment of rampent violence.
« on: June 07, 2010, 11:07:19 PM »
That... was different. I go up into the Knight's Silver Sanctum -- I'm in L5Law, and ignore the warning -- and promptly get attacked. My robot horde handily slaughters all the hostiles, followed by me looting their corpses. Then...

... then I go and ask the non-hostiles about rumors, which they give to me in ambundance, pretty as you please. While I'm chatting, my robomooks are dogpileing the robots that appear to attack us, pretty much wrecking anything that shows up. Androbots are tough.

Anyway, I gather up all the loot, walk back out. Check my @ -- I've taken no alignment dings. My rep's still fine, the folks in the first floor of the fortress are reacting the same way they did when I went up... it's like nothing happened, despite me basically murdering three knights and a number support critters. I actually reload the weapon I spent some ammo on the attacking knights from the mechanic down stairs.

What's going on here? I... I'm not really complaining, per se (I got a heavy rocket rifle, my robomooks got some upgraded kit, etc.), but... it's strange. Very, uh... strange.

Argh. It's shoddily written code, is what it is. I need to standardize the scripts in these private scenes. I think these locations need to be taken out of the ATLAS and moved  to quests, where they can take advantage of advanced scripting.
