Because you really want to hear about my WarCrack addiction
Yes, the WarCrack. That evil game that has taken over my life. I'm fighting the urge to play it now. But that isn't what this is about. What I really want to talk about is this weird WTF thing going on. See, there is this place in the game called the Deadmines, often referred to as VC for short (named for Van Cleef, the boss at the end), and it's cursed.
No, seriously. Cursed. It's the Curse of the Wimpy Bitches.
I have been in that damn dungeon with various characters about a half dozen times. There are a handful of quests that involve going down there and killing various guys so you can loot things off their carcasses. Or you can just go there for the cash and stuff, also looted from dead non-people. You know, good clean fun. It's a pretty tough place to go actually, at least if your character is in the 20s or so, which is why it's a good idea to bring a couple buddies in with you to watch your back. There's plenty of loot to go around, really.
So why is it that the only time I've ever seen the boss is by taking my 34th level paladin down there by himself to kick ass on everything in sight? (And by the way, paladins can be some seriously ass kicking machines. If they could do this kind of shit in D&D I would totally have played them more often.) Every time I've gone down into that stupid mine with a group something happens and they all fuck off on me. Hell, the first time down we got all the way to the big boat thingy at the end and everyone got croaked - so they gave up. WTF is up with that? Losers! We were at the end you useless fucks! How hard is it to regroup and try again? Shit, we didn't even have to re-kill any of the guys up to that point - it would totally have been cake.
This is why I hate playing with other people.
