[Amusing] The RPG Character Name Game

I should have just ended mine at "hero who uses a sword and has a retarded haircut". Then I could be deliciously vague too.

Most amazing jew boots

Cape + assassin = Clyde from Suiko 1 & 2.

Oh, there's a dagger. Nevermind then.

I hope I don't guess it anyway since last time I guessed right, I had to beg people to guess my character

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

As much as Clyde is awesome and using his name as an answer should be correct for just about anything, he's not the one I'm talking about.

With my cape and dagger, I can glide through the blanket of the night and strike like a nimble tiger all within the time span of a few seconds. That girl, though......she is the only one I even remotely sense any feeling of attachment with.

I used the whole "playable RPG character" thing loosely; this character is from a Strategic/Tactical RPG. Also the girl mentioned has green hair.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm guessing Jaffar from Fire Emblem, though I have to be honest I wouldn't have remembered his name without googling a bit, and I certainly wouldn't have known without your mention of the strategy RPG.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yep, that's it! (Sorry guys I'll do a better one next time )

FELIPE NO

All right here's my next one:

I can't believe how my outlook on life has changed since I started traveling with this raggedy bunch. Who could have ever thought I might one day find another reason to fight besides the satisfaction of planting my fist on someone's skull? Returning to my clan was quite a trial also, what with their new leader who wasn't even willing to speak to me anymore. Aye, it's a good thing I recovered that artifact from our enemies in the mountain, otherwise I would have never been able to regain my honor. These new robes sure are more comfortable than that heavy armor I used to wear.

Additionnal spam: No one? Really?

Ok here's a bigger hint:

I've even come to understand that the demon girl and the tree-worshiper aren't so bad since I've started traveling with this group.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

In the interest of keeping this thread alive I'll give out a final hint that'll make this obvious for anyone who's played the game (or fond of google):

How could those Luskan bastards think our leader would go so far as to slay a whole village? It's not right I tell you!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Go, go, gadget Google!

Is it Daelan Red Tiger from Neverwinter Nights?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Errr... No but your getting awfully close (read sequel)...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Then its maybe Khelgar Ironfist from NWN2? Also using the power o' search.

Most amazing jew boots

That's right.

I really didn't expect it to be this hard to guess, maybe not too many people here have played this game?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Can't say I had. The impression from the first NWN was less than stellar, and it pretty much convinced me never to touch the franchise again. The reviews then comparing it to Knights of the Old Republic 2 didn't help much either. I'll see what I can do about getting something up in a little bit.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've never played it either to be honest. I think without those extra clues we would have been here a while.

FELIPE NO

I see. I haven't played KOTOR 2 or even the first one, but I played both NWN games and thoroughly enjoyed them, even though the ending to the second one is probably the biggest load of baloney put in a game.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The KOTOR games are two of the greatest rpgs of all time, even without the lightsabers although they'd have been even better if either was actually finished properly.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's pretty much the same complaint I saw about NWN2 on a number of different sites. I thought it was great through and through, but the ending. Oh my. What a failed attempt at a cliffhanger.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Tween brigands bends the whiten path,
O' harrowed souls their hearts have sold.
Search faithful shafts for heathen mark,
Strive ere the world burn for the old.

Removed and present, saved and lost,
Captive what prayer is thine colleen?
In lands they fall for lumps of rock,
Their power path to sights unseen.

O' odius orb, o' shifting sight,
Let loose your glow where brothers vie.
Give health to all who'd ask my aid,
This fragile flowered form am I.

{I guess we'll see whether this is too vague.}

I loved the first KOTOR, as it evoked all of the good writing and storytelling of Baldur's Gate in a Star Wars setting. I would have loved KOTOR 2 if it hadn't been incredibly error and crash prone, as well as unfinished. The fact that all the data for the game actually made it onto the disk, but wasn't actually implemented just made it all the more annoying.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The second one had the advantage of starting you off as a Jedi though so you didn't have to wait until half way through to start mind tricking people. I agree it could have been much, much better but it's still one of my all time favourite games.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

As there are no guesses yet, a further clue. The game this character is from is old enough (and popular enough) that its been republished several times.

Additional Spam:
Still nothing, so another. The character this references is in and out of your party multiple times over the course of the game, but has rejoined by the finale.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I think even with the hints it might still be a little hard to get. I'm at a loss.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The Minstrel from Romancing SaGa?

I have no clue, I'm just putting up a guess so that at least one person attempted it.

FELIPE NO

I'm just going to take a wild guess. I think its Kain from Final Fantasy IV, not by the riddle Araes you put at the beginning, just because of the other clues such as a game that is popular that its been republished several times, and the fact that he is always in and out of your party, and doesn't join again until close to the very end.

I'm probably wrong, but oh well.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm thinking the line "this fragile flowered form am I" is a tip of some kind.

I considered it being metaphorical and literal... both to no avail.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Close Angel, but you're off target slightly.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

since I'm so close, I'm going to make one more guess and think its Rydia from Final Fantasy IV because of her fragiled form, when she is in your party at first, and she gets stronger when you get her again, but I'm probably off. As far as I know she only leaves your party I think twice, but if its not it, somebody else can take it.
