Brother Olaf Olafsson, is an ex-sea raider and a recent convert to the Peteran faith. He is an Adventurous man who still hears the Call of the Sea from time to time, and is still learning the ropes of the faith (by which we mean that he makes up what he doesn't know). He's trying his best, but his Bloodthirsty nature still comes up from time to time when he's challenged. That said, he really wants to do right by the kingdom and his new faith, and his assignment to this kingdom prves that the Gods really do have a nasty sense of humour.

"'Ave a nice one! Watcher preserve ye 'n all that!"

With Olaf Olafsson having been born, let us ruminate on a quest for him.

Shall he:
  • Participate in a fishing contest?

  • Advocate for the rights of dire chinchillas?

  • Seek a legendary fountain for the sake of rectifying his fatal flaw? (note: this will literally replace his fatal flaw with a rare, legendary trait.)

Getting rid of his flaw immediately seems a bit too much. Let's go fishing instead.

Can we go on the legendary quest later? If not, that's what I'm voting for, but if we can delay it, then Olaf should go fishing first, presumably with his sovereign, because who doesn't love to fish with a massive Viking?

Also, I presume that means I'm on the voting Council?

Fishing contest seems like the best way for our priest to make his mark. Might as well put that bloodthirstiness to good use before trying to cure him of it.

(It's been way too long since I've played this game and realise there may be no direct benefit but character-wise it seems a fitting first quest for him either way).

Cosigned. People shouldn't do super-cool legendary quests unless they've built up some cache. Unless the opportunity to go on one is a one-time opportunity of course. Going fishing and hanging out with people would be a nicer introduction.

Quests come and go, so it'll probably be around later at some point. And oh poo poo, I guess you are! I should stress that the council's influence is limited to choosing between Sim submissions, however.

The noses are probably at least half of why the two guys we have so far are so recognizable.

This LP makes me want to get this game, but apparently the steam version only works up to win 7, and to get it to run on win 10 you have to deal with EA and Origin. :argh: I think I'll pass.

Origin is fine, though. You can easily turn off their data reporting, if that's your problem.

Is this game as poorly optimized as the Sims 3 is? Since it runs on the same engine.

Well, I'm sorry to say, but I'm afraid this thread was a bit of a misfire. I did not account for how busy my life has become and will continue to become, but as such I'm going to have to close this thread and shelve this LP. Another time, perhaps.
