Solid Proof That Magnus is Feebleminded

Well, I'm sure all of you have at one time or another told Magnus to wait, only to return and be accused of speaking with the Schuylers.

I have undeniable evidence that Magnus suffers from severe retardation and is quite forgetful, to boot. While in the ancient dwarven burial ground beneath P. Schuyler and Sons, I killed the Schuylers. Magnus participated. He saw them die. Later on in the game, at the Isle of Despair, I tell him to wait. When I tell him he can stop waiting now, he refuses, saying that I've been 'off talking to those Schuylers.' Apparently, he has forgotten that they are dead and that he helped kill them.

And another time, I tell him to wait, and after three seconds pass, he says the very same thing. Now, I ask you, how could I have been off to see those Schuylers in a mere three seconds? Especially as Tarant was half the continent away, and as a reminder, the Schuylers are dead.

I assume he will say the same thing if you tell him to wait in the void. How could I have left that plane of existence and went from the Ring of Brodgar, through Gorgoth Pass, through the Kingdom of Cumbria, and to Tarant to speak with the long deceased Schuyler Sons?

And here you have it, with the evidence presented to you, it has been proven that Magnus Shale Fist, is mentally feeble. As if we all didn't already know that.

 

An addition.....

AND, he is unfit to be the leader of the Iron Clan. As if Arcanum needs another king like Praetor.

 

way to go gun_smithy...good form in venting those feelings

i don't even use magnus anymore, i prefer a gunslinger whom you can't hear when he speaks....vollinger...

 

Hey, I didn't know about Magnus being Mr Iron Clan...thanks for wrecking it for me...Magnus always dies when he's with me...very convenient plot of Troika's if you ask me...

 

I don't really think there is a severe retardation... I might be wrong though. There's mild retardation, which is the most frequent, you can teach them some stuff. They can live by themselves, but usually have someone watching over. Then there's moderate retardation, which goes as far as training people how to eat food themselves, hot to go to the bathroom themselves, and stuff like that...

After that I think comes Severe retardation... or Profoundess, which I think is more corerct word... Well that means that he's a total idiot. :smile:

There was really no purpose to this except to waste some time, sorry...

Jus kill that bugger though.

 

Better yet, take everything off him, and leave him outside of P Schuyler and Sons in his boxers :smile:.

 

Magnus is a goddamn gully dwarf, his intelligence fits that race best

 

Gully dwarf? Explain...

 

seems to me like your new in rpg and fantasy huh? they are the stupidest race of dwarves completly inferior ones that are not good at anything and are deformed ugly and demented. usally used as slaves by derro dwarves.

 

gully dwarf?? like forp in bg2 the darkest day : Me Forp me most intelligent of gully dwarves me show you location to village.

 

Could not be more wrong. I never played Baldur's Gate (or Baldur's Gate 2, I refuse the play the series), and the replies show that gully dwarf was a reference there. I have read quite a bit of fantasy - David Eddings, Raymond E Feist among others - and it happens to be my favourite genre. Just never heard of a gully dwarf.

I never finished Lord of the Rings (too boring for me at first, couldn't struggle through it, maybe I'll try read it again someday) but I loved The Hobbit.

Thanks for the explanation though.

 

try reading any of the dragonlance books or any TSR related books there is alot of reference there

 

You could be a massive fantasy fan and not have an inkling about gully dwarfs. They're indiginous to Krynn, so (for the most part) only appear in stories set there. Krynn is the world of Dragonlance used by TSR's farm of writers.

I don't know about most of the gazillion spin-offs, but the Dragonlance Chronicles and the Dragonlance Tales are bloody good books.

So you didn't finish Lord of the Rings? Now would be a good time for that second attempt, with the film coming out soon. It's well worth it. It does slow down quite a lot in a few places, but always picks up again nicely.

Eddings really bugs me. I read the Belgariad and the Mallorean and loved them. Then I started on that Diamond Throne (?) one when it came out. I put it down unfinished after I realised the characters and plot were identical to his previous saga.

Feist was one of my favourites until Krondor the Boredom and Krondor the Assanine.

 

hey Sheriff, for a good reference to gully dwarves read "Flint The King" right?

 

Feist has shitloads of spinoffs as well...Riftwar saga, Serpentwar Saga, couple of other sagas...Don't even get me started on the weird dream I had last night...has to come in my top 10 weird dreams ever...

They span at least 50 years...really pisses me off, because the overall plot and relationships get really convoluted. I like Eddings...the Diamond Throne is pretty average, but it's still a good read...it's a tried and true formula...

As for Dragonlance, is that Janny Wurts? If you're looking for a good story contained within a single book, check out The Master of Whitestorm...the main character in that rocks :smile:.

 

I know what you're saying about Feist. There are a lot of books. But by spin-off's I kind of meant the thing where other writers are given a "bit of the world" and told to write about it. I'm not against it or anything, I just don't have time to read the Dragonlance ones. There are so many!

Dragonance was Magaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (originally) but spin-offs have been done by all the usual TSR writers by now (Douglas Niles, Chris Pierson, Jeff Crook, Don Perrin, Jean Rabe - the list goes on and on).

If you want find out about Gully Dwarves or anything else to do with Dragonlance, here's a web ring list to start from: http://www.dragonlance.com/webring/list.cfm
