Merchant Albert is suspiciously pretty. How is collecting a share of the xp of the party yourr in, stealing? And how does he figure he's lying to the Merchant?
An absolutely stupid development, why is he suddenly worried about what other people would think of his abilities when he’s been actively using them FOR THE ENTIRE STORY so far, he literally made it his job to use his cheat. And even if he had changed his mind all he had to do was say no and go about his life.
"Shared XP goes against all the gaming logic I've ever known" ?????
Bro must have never played a single online multiplayer game in his life, for that matter most like rpg type games that have parties also tend to distribute XP don't they? I mean sure he's being a non contributor more than the rpg equivalents, but for online games usually you get XP for what teammates do regardless.
@Fari
What he's doing is STEALING EXP. Sharing EXP in a group is one thing when the others are aware of it. Stealing EXP when you're not even a member is quite another. Think about it this way. Let's say he gets captured by an enemy group and steals their EXP and suddenly levels up to destroy them. He's not a part of their group but he still took EXP. Let's say that Hero Group enslaves him. Eventually he steals enough EXP to kick their asses.
Remember, only HE can see the gaming screens and whatnot. Nobody else can and they are not aware of the gaming mechanics.
@Animeaddiction I mean yeah, later than this he does start full on stealing, but for this particular case they were basically a party, anyways.
Besides, even something as simple as 'getting xp when things die nearby' isn't against all gaming logic in the least, quite the opposite that's a thing in a lot of games.
Later on when he
gets XP from people who are far away (and never partied with him in any sense/didn't like him)
THAT goes against all game logic, this instance didn't in the least though.
Just because only he sees it doesn't change the fact that it very much operates [in this scene] within videogame norms for the most part. At best you could say 'slightly outside the norm' not 'against all gaming logic' by any stretch. Even the later parts don't go 'against all gaming logic' they're just genuinely different then at least while still similar enough.
When he says he's stealing EXP, does he mean he can join a group without their knowledge, not do anything and get a share of the EXP? In this particular instance he got 20% of the total EXP by hiding in the tent?
