Have to say it.
How brilliant a character is this guy?
So here's the scene: you're a game developer. You know that the a solid percentage of your customers are kids insecure in their sexuality for whom "gay" is synonymous with "lame" and "stupid", who use "***got" instead of "jackass" or "moron", etcetera. So what do you do? You make it REQUIRED for them to work for a pervert who wants to see them naked if they want to go with House Hlaalu. Bwahahah.
Now, you say, that's dandy but what about all of us who AREN'T insecure twits? Well, for you, the roleplay sets in. How much are you willing to put up with to make money? 'Cause that's what house Hlaalu's all about.
Then, to finalize it, it turns out that Crassius is the good guy in this situation. He pays farmers' taxes, and helps the oppressed. So he turns out to be one of the only genuine good guys in this entire corrupted world.
Which is worth something.
So that's why Crassius rocks, and why I laugh at all the posts I see of "DO I HAVE TO TAKE MY CLOTHS OFF?!?!?!?!", that are always ended by "OMFG I AM GOING TO KILL HIM WHEN I FINISH THESE QUESTS!!!!111!!".
Teehee.
