Petition for a Noober-type character in SoD

BGEE has Noober. BGEE2 has Neeber. BGSoD deserves this character type as well. Let's call him Niiber for now. (Feel free to take any or all of this idea).

Niiber will constantly harass the party constantly talking to them with way too many banters. However, each time Niiber talks to the party, each member is forcibly given a different Petition.

A Petition is simply a scroll with poorly worded demands which takes up an inventory slot and is not stackable. Each dialog quickly fills up party inventory slots. If the party does not have enough slots open, they drop to the ground and Niiber complains even more with an extra dialogue.

If the party maintains patience among the banters and seemingly endless petitions, they'll be rewarded with some xp.

    Nüber?

    I was trying to go for oo to ii to ee to match backwards alphabetical order. But Nüber is definitely good too especially for up North.

    Noooo is on my cell phone and can't make a German umlaut in appreciation of the name.

    But there has to be a distant relative to noober and neeber.

    The potions is in my opinion overkill. A new approach to what about now will do just fine.

    Call him Naaber. He can have the following dialogs

    "Hi diddly ho there neighbor-eeno."
    “How YOU doin’?”
    “Dyn-o-mite!”
    "Did I do that?"
    "Giggity"

    There's a whole wealth of dialog that could be added to that.

    "My backpack has been completely take over by stubborn cats" ...oh wait, wrong quest. Never mind then :)

    Lets keep the stupid immersion breaking "humour" out of the game this time.

    How is Noober immersion breaking? If anything... he adds to the immersion and gives life and back story to the village.

    If anything, I love to meet Dilby, the guy who threw rocks at him and have a conversation either condemning his actions or agreeing with them. With different rep hits depending on the outcome of the conversation.

    some people are just mirthless. Noober is a beloved legend!

    Is this petition genuine or self-referential humour? I'd like to know.
  • booinyoureyesbooinyoureyes Member Posts: 6,164
    I took it as self-referential, hence the "petitions appearing in your inventory". I kinda got a chuckle if I'm being honest.

    Oh, there are plenty of things that I would like to be thrown in. A ferret companion, man-eating snow cabbages, a powerful gazebo 'boss' monster, a Pitt fiend, a nabassu named Naaber who nabs people and feeds them Nabisco products. None of these things will be implemented of course (except the gazebo, obviously), but a guy can dream.

    Someone once mentioned his Welsh cousin, Nwwber, which I thought was great.

    You can also make his Roman uncle, Nvvber.

    @elminster that is very very creepy...funny but creepy.

    It could also be the intro for the Noober Pits. You think you had a hard time in the black pits but what about now.
