Shattered Kingdoms

Not sure if this qualifies as a bug, or a feature, but why is it that Teron's shopkeepers shout when they're being attacked, but others, such as in Exile and Nerina, do not? Seems like it should be reversed.

Scripts, I think. I've seen the guard from the docks come running in after they yell.

It is not a bug, they are supposed to do that. Now I may be wrong but I believe this is in effect because Teron has no law system to protect the NPCs. Being that Teron is heavily a merc/rogue town it seems practical that the shopkeepers would hire muscle to protect them. Since there is no law system, you will not be charged with crimes but you may get killed.

That makes sense, but by what reasoning would shopkeepers in a lawful city not shout out that they're being robbed?

I love Teron.

It's the best unique city.

Since the Enforcers and their black-knife/griffon killing ways and the utter maze full of typos Nightfall made, to it's current incarnation...

I loves Teron.

That is all.

The typos should be blamed on Xareth not Nightfall.

Anyone who bothers to study the history of teron will know that there is a Trade Guild in teron and that certain shopkeepers are a part of it. Those shopkeepers have hired muscle to protect them. The ones that are part of the guild will yell for their muscle to come.

In a city of anarchy, who in their right mind would NOT hire muscle to protect them?

I'm not questioning the bodyguards, I'm questioning why shopkeepers don't yell that they're being robbed, and let themselves die, in lawful cities.

Because the robber has put a knife under their throat. Is that enough for you?

So why do the unlawful ones yell, then?
