    I'm just interested to know what people think on this one. Which choice of the two is better for a good-aligned type and why? Should I assist Appleby in betraying Bates? Is it better to do the opposite? How about driving Appleby mad from repeating the name "Bates" over and over" 'til he attacks? Am just looking for soe ideas here on what the best choice is for whom and why...

    Well --- I went with Bates because neither one made the

    engine. Bates took it from the dwarven,
    Appleby stole/got it from Bates. You will
    get to talk to Bates eventually, and it starts a whole mess of quests. Maybe
    Appleby is good, I didn't try him.
    A huge hint: one of the crypts in the cemetary will be very interesting. Just kill
    the guy who attacks you.

    I love the bates thing when you attack him
    "Chukka Attack!" This game is a whole lotta laughs. Or when you kill the priesttest in stillwater you say "I'm not sorry for the pain you will be experiencing right now"
    it's a master piece to be evil

    Do whatever you feel like

    So far I've sided with Appleby once, Bates once and neither once (just stole the information and used it myself).

    Methinks that's my next course of action. It may be easy to take candy from a baby, but it's a damned sight tougher than pulling it from a corpse.

    Good characters should align with Bates. The reason I'm choosing Bates is that he gives away a lot of money. So Bates is a rich guy? Hmmm... How about Gates? :smile:

    Appleby's engines should be poxy semitransparent gaily coloured (and I mean happy gay :razz:) plastic things that no-one likes or uses. He deserves to die.
