This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This has always been an opinion I've held for most RPGs. They almost always try to balance everything, and it makes it far less interesting. In my opinion they should play quite differently. The "good" play through should be the standard path most players will take, and it's a balanced challenge with a mix of persuasion and combat. The evil playthrough should make you overpowered, but no one wants to cooperate with you. You can steal anything and kill anyone, but you're going to have to fight for your win. Your combat skill is going to powerspike much higher and faster, but there won't be an alternative to combat.
