A different story

Post by Green_Thunder »

When I first bought this game, I based my character off of: "OK... Who has the best green color scheme?" and ended up choosing the dark wizzard, or in this case the bright green and orange wizard. :)

As you progress through the game, you have scripted events with a bad-guy named Gillespie (sorry is spelling is off) and he always had bits of text that seemed talored for, and only for the dark wizzard, calling you his brother and refering to your half vamp blood.

Soooooo... would you say that Arrmand is kinda the main character because of his access to unique dialogue?

Don't get me wrong. I understand that there are a lot of Ninja, Brawler ect. fans out there, and rightfully so because they're awesome, but I just feel that players are missing out on a pretty thick layer of story.

I just heard about this recently(from someone on DeviantArt, of all places), myself. I've played through the game with four different characters but the dark wizard doesn't happen to be one of them. I've been planning on doing him for my next run so I can see what his story is.

I don't know that he's intended as the main character, though. For one thing, that's definitely not him on the front cover.

I don't think he's the main character either. But he's worth playing for the differences in dialogue.
I'm back!!!!!

Mabey not the main character, but you must admit that all other classes are missing out.

So he's the only character who gets special dialogue?

Shining Soul II never looked so appealing.
