I was ambushed and found a letter in one of the bodies informing the following:
"Be it known to all of evil intent, that there is a bounty of 200 gold for the head of..."
Wtf ? "Be it know to all of evil intent" ? This doesnt make sense. Why would the people issuing the bounty write something like that ? Its like someone in real life writes a book entitled "Hacking for Evil Dummies" or something. This is the kind of D&D thing that breaks my immersion.
I mean, I know D&D (and Forgotten Realms) has in-world objective tools for detecting alignments like spells, powers, items, etc. but does this mean people actually talk like that in the world ?
like, "Oh com all over me!" and then "I cant, miss, Im lawful-good"
or yet.."Hey dude, Im Evil ok ? I admit, so save that detect alignment to other encounter.. Im from the Waterdeep guetto and I had to get a sword and do bad things or Id be seeing my wife and kids starving. I heard there are worlds where I would be Shades of Gray or something.. but the local cosmology says Im Evil... so wha can I do ? Im a victim, man.. a victim of the cosmology"
So, is it the game thats like that ? The setting ? Or people actually play D&D like that ?
