Why there are so many powerful girls?

#1 Post by Zap-zapper »

I just noticed that most of the powerful NPCs are female. Linaniil, Myssil, Celia, etc... Male NPCs are kinda below ladies league. Master of Dreadfell is the only exception I know...

Maybe we should transform him into Mistress of Dreadfell

I mean, Elandar.
I write guides and make addons too now, apparently

You can go here for a compilation of everything I wrote, plus some other important stuff!

Includes general guides (inscriptions, zone, prodigies), and class guides (Demo, Anorithil, Bulwark, Zerker, Sblade)

Nah he's a chump, he can die to a level 15 Yeek.

Atomathon and Garkul might be the powerful male role-models you're looking for.
Check out my addons: Nullpack (classes), Null Tweaks (items & talents), and New Gems fork.

I was going to say that it's probably a coincidence, but then I remembered a post from one of the writers stating he deliberately made powerful characters female because of feminism. (It's in the old Orc Breeding Pits thread.)

As for atamathon, he's a robot. He doesn't have a gender. The Orcs are definitely an obvious exception, the only notably powerful female in the main campaign is (was) the Greatmother.

The player can always become the most powerful dude anyways.

They are dust, compared to Linaniil

Conflict detected.

That guy survives beyond the duration of time itself and apparently acts as the cornerstone for Point Zero, so he's a solid candidate for being in Linaniil's league.

Has anyone tried fighting him?

The rest may not survive, except Zemekkys, Aranion and Caldizar (Zemekkys could just roll back the time, or even erase time, who knows) (Aranion has some Quejkora's pieces, he may have more Age of Haze's powers, thanks to Shalore Engineering™)

Clearly you haven't met Caldizar if you have such brave statement ;)

There is no such thing as too many powerful girls in a game. :D
