Post subject:  Imbalanced NPCs
The NPCs of Astrid Haakon, Yric Torquil and some other idiot that I can't remember right now are imbalanced and out-of-concept for the game.

They are purchasable barbarians of expert-champion status that can wield weapons and be used by any class.

This destroys the advantages that classes that rely on NPCs through spells like control undead, charm person and domination have, and even overpowers those same classes and tribunal members by giving them NPCs that are free of concentration.

Ardith cries too much. These NPCs for anyone who can understand basic mechanics are from the most balanced things in the game and the one who uses them can easily lose the advantage(and even get in a disadvantage) by others who know the mechanics behind them.

It's just that people(especially noobs - and I'm not talking level wise) don't explore much these days, so for everything new that they see they cry rivers of tears about it.

Actually I don't not complain when something provides me with a great advantage. Or complain when I don't like something that can be used to injure my current character.

If you read my post it didn't even mention you.

Damn, I'm smooth.

Guess what can be found within the brackets.

That's right, smooth is not the answer.

PS: BONUS HINT: Hey [REDACTED], when you quote someone and right afterwards something about someone generally, it's obvious that you refer to the person you quoted.

This is serious problem that needs addressed. If you haven't anything constructive to add then don't bother posting, and take your chest beating elsewhere.

I've used the bond servants a few times with one of my characters and they're certainly ...Unique.

There are only 10 commands you can give them and you can't order them like normal controls. Once combat starts, they go on their own generally, though I have to admit the fact that they don't have any order lag whatsoever likea charmed NPC is kind of unsettling. I can see where people would say it's unfair that way.

Take a look at the order of the posts in this thread [REDACTED].

You made a post worthy of being here, I added something constructive. Then guess who started derailing the thread and making posts without anything constructive to say.

Oh wait, you did. All that definition on hypocrite, that's exactly what you are. You bother posting without anything constructive to say(apart from the definition)! :o

The power the bondservants offer are over the top - they aren't even limited by the "one pet"-rule. That other items which offer more than one controlled NPC have been wimped through the past few years points to the fact that this doesn't seem like a good idea to have in the game.
