To Ride Or Not To Ride (Horses)

[Zacarias]

I must say, I have never seen BSK so polarized until now; over the issue of horses.

Dark if some said they wanted a super turbo charged V16 Pontiac with a sound system that would blow ya underwear off and did 0-100 in less time than it takes to blink youd probably want one of those too sheesh

horses ok, if really expensive beecause they are a sign of power.

Not just pointless, it is good and dull... But it is fun to see how far it will go.

Actually, forget horses, lets just jump to cars.
3 type of cars:
Pintos
Crown Vic's
Rolls Royce

And have a 4th just as a DM command:
~ DM_nascar
And for pitty sake, have it be faster than a hasted Monk

Myle

if your going to add cars, then add an arena with guns while your at it, lol

You already have gun/weapon simulators in game:

Semi-Automatic 9mm with armor piercing rounds = Magic Missles
M-60 with armor piercing rounds = Maximized IGMS
Grenades = Fireball
Mustard Gas = Horrid Wilting
Syringe of polonium-210 = Harm
IED = Delayed Fireball
Minimal-Yield Nuclear Device = Implosion

I'm all for horses. They're cool and could add some new experiences in the last days of NWN (And BSK-)1. I don't think it'd lag the server too much up, more than already anyway. And it should not be allowed to have horses inside the keep. That would fix some issues, about people around the trees etc..

Wadda mean '' The last days of NWN (BSK1) '' ? Is BSK 1 coming down anytime soon?

This is an *OLD* post that got rezzed... That statement by Rhami was made on October 20th, BEFORE NWN2 came out. It was assumed at the time that when NWN2 came out, that BSK2 would take over and BSK1 would eventually die out.

However, reality set in and when NWN2 turned out to be very buggy, driller decided within the past week or so to stop hosting BSK2 for the time being in hopes that the expansion packs for NWN2 would help resolve the problems.

Anyway, it seems clear that NWN1/BSK1 is going nowhere in the near future. Well, unless driller gets tired of the constant bickering and such that's gone on recently, but that seems to have died down *phew*!

With the portal system they are not required in BSK. Everything is right at hand. Now a stable in the Frozen Forest so you can ride to the forge might work. But someone with haste most likely would make the trip in the same time, rl or gt.

Ahh phew well thats a relief

BSK and horses? uhuh....that would mean ripping out all portals and creating stables so there's no football team of horseback adventurers at the tree

Really, it would add nothing to BSK but more lagging.

The setting of BSK is not made for horseback and everyone who would think a bit bigger than the thought "HORSIES! HORSIES! LOLZORS!" would have to agree that more lagging is certainly not desired.

Furthermore, the thing about the portal stones was mentioned earlier..why bother with horses? and since almost everyone get's hasted at lvl 11 / 12...really, the hose doesn't add anything but "status".

I have a suggestion


Make a short circuit with pony's and let all the kids who want to ride horses go and ride a round on a pony

I find this "poll" to be funny...

Mostly because the "I want horsies" part of it 'suddenly' got a ton more votes... yet not a single comment on who vote or why.. Suspicious if you ask me. Specially since this poll actually has no effect on wether or not horses will be added to BSK. By the looks of things, they wont be (thank god)... So that leaves me wondering why someone(s) would try to alter the poll... Just seems silly to me.

Just thought I'd share,
