A Paladin? Often. Usually, in fact, given the choice. For some reason 'turn undead' has no effect on you if you cast it yourself. But I admit to not liking garlic.

I object to the poll's categories .. IMO (and I'm sure Dragonlady feels the same) Undeadness doesn't begin until at least 90. You know you're too old for an RPG when you can't work the mouse any more.

These days you practically have to be 60+ (or lucky) to be able to afford a) a house in the UK, b) a computer fast enough to run Oblivion and Gothic 3 on (actually I lie, there are no computers that can run G3 smoothly).

Hehe, just added a small percent to the "Adult" category. Good heavens, how did THAT happen to me. :shock:

Me too, object to undead category. That should be 'the age of Wisdom' you young whippersnappers! :lol: I'm certainly wiser than I used to be. Just ask my son who just turned 37. :) I taught him role-playing and he's still at it.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Hex editors? Shucks, we used to have to load the DG Nova bootstrap program from the front panel switches, one byte at a time...

One byte at a time? Luxury!! My uni computing course back in the 70's required the use of 1 and 0's. And we had to bring our own 1's.

Not far from the truth, even though I'm a few months from Undead. In some ways I'm surprised the average Eschalon age isn't older. Can't get my own kids interested, they'd rather zap things in Bioshock or Half-Life.

On the upside, we undead have been able to play every decent rpg ever made, as they were released, and enjoyed them as cutting edge at the time. How good were Dungeon Master, Bards Tale and Ultima Underworld that first time you played 'em.

Cheers
