Kills and Stealth

Post by theoneandonly »

Don't know if this has been discussed before, but with the speed soloing topic, what is the minimum number of kills that someone can finish the game with?

Very few I think, but at least 100-200 kills I think. But why would you do that after all?

That seems to point up a significant difference between Europeans and Americans. A European says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with me?" An American says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with him?"

I reckon that Stonehege was build by the contemporary equivalent of Microsoft, whereas Avebury was definitely an Apple circle.

I had somewhere around 500. Can't remember exactly. I know that someone under the alias Darlord soloed a swashbuckler and had around 50 kills. How he did it I don't know.
It would be interesting to see the information from people who solo. I'll post mine later today.

It might be interesting from a role-playing perspective of a thief with weak combat skills sneaking by all the enemies instead of engaging them. Living by wits and cunning instead of raw power.

Yes, but still, how could you ever survive any of the tougher battles with a solo thief at a low level thief?

I don't understand how that guy could make it with 50 kills, he must still have been at most lvl 10 at the end of the game!

Hmmm ... maybe all the lock-picking and scroll reading really adds up in a solo game?

What scroll reading? And, lockpicking doesn't by far add up for a lot of kills.

A high level thief gets 3250 xp's for every trap he disarms. Getting xp's is no problem. However a solo thief will still be difficult I think.
