Okay, I am nearing the end of Act 1. All I have left is to run ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING to get that damnable coal LOL (As well as the battlefield area 3 which I will do just before ending the act).
Now, here is my figuring. I am going to have to go from the top to the bottom of this citadel. Upon doing so, I am going to go all the way back to the top, blow open a hole to the lava, and kill everyone inside by doing so.
Here's the question:
It occured to me as I started to make my way down that all these guys just hanging around, thinking I am one of them, are worth XP points... and they are going to die anyways. So, I have been switching armour when I've got 3 or so away from their compatriots, killing them, and looting. Can anyone think of a reason not to do this? Do one of these guys survive and come back as an integral part of the game later on?
Anywho, just thought I would ask. Also, on a little side note. I found it rather beneficial (I can be sadistic sometimes I guess) to do all my wheeling and dealing with the merchants (completing requested tasks etc) then killing them!! The one weapons merchant in the Barracks area was well worth doing this as when you kill any of them, their ENTIRE stock can be salvaged from them. Aye, this has a slight feeling of cheating to it, but I figure it's all going to burn up in the lava anyways.
Okay, just rambling now.
