    Gee, that's tame. Try again!

    Me, personally, I'd end his life in a public spectacle involving sulphuric acid, red hot branding irons, and a Stillwater Blade inserted in a certain orifice.

    THEN I'd move on to the nasty stuff.

    AFAIK, Preator was convinced to think that way by the cumbrian mages cuncil... Or whoever was responsible for putting him there in the first place.

    This would place him on a whole different level of dumbassness then the people who came up with the dumbass idea. The mages were rather afraid to lose their position in power, after technology would've been introduced to cumbria.

    To avoid that, technology was outlawed, max was cast out and slow witted preator was brainwashed into thinking technology is evil and cumbria is forever great.

    That would make him more of a victim, his conviction not being his fault and evil he has likely commited to uphold these ideals being the result of putting a fool in the position of power. Blaming him for it would be like blaming a puppet for a poor performance.

    Other than that, he deserves a death sentence for stupidity and should die as described above.

    That's exactly why I kill him! The Bob, you are truly The Bob.
    And, I am actually insane. Not enough to be institutionalized, but just enough for people to start panicking when I've done nothing for twenty minutes.
    The driving force behind my madness is my inability to sleep. Unlike most people, my brain never "shuts off" unless it is forced, via knockout or anti-psychotic medication. And that is why I am the "person" you all know and love. I'm also quite evil.

    I suffer from the same problem, I go to bed at 11 and stare at the ceiling until 7 and I get up.

    Thusly, I only bother with bed every 2 or 3 days.

    For Dernholm and Black Root to be utterly destroyed like that must have something to do with the venereal disease theory from Tarantian cast-off pussy that surfaced a few years ago...

    Yes, but its a secret, so stop saying it and start blaming Praetor again.

    You have that problem as well. Mind you it's amusing to see people start to get twitchy when you go quiet.

    Nah, he's got the whole thing. That'd be like saying a mix of chocolate and poop is only half disgusting.
    Yes, I'm Irish too.
    And Czech. And Scottish. And Yugoslavian. And French. And Native American.

    Well, he's got me beat.... And I was wondering how long that quotes of quotes bit would last. :p

    Not to hijack this thread, but anyone playing Car-Arcanum needs to go to 1000 X 1000 and take a look at what Chris left behind.... You'll probably have to search a bit to find the exact spot but it's worth it.

    Now that I've unpacked Chris' patch, I'll see what other little goodies I can find. I'll keep you all posted here.

    There is. I only had time for a quick browse around Shrouded Hills this morning and spotted all sorts of hidden items.

    BTW: I think it would be best to move any updates on this to the Car Arcanum Locations thread. See ya there.

    Completed game with just one change and that was to inform Preator that his daughter was dead and bingo Dernholm and blackroot survive, so you probably have to complete all the quests to do with Preator to get the ending.
