Yeah. Villains will steal something if it catches their eye as valuable, but only heroes make it their mission to loot every single house on the planet.

And yet no one ever seems to complain, despite the fact that some hero has gone and nicked off with their entire life savings
Of course, NP's can't be considered too bright either, who hides 100s of dollars in crates, large cermaic jars or the like?

My favorite has to be the innkeeper in Lufia 3.
I snuck into the inn through the (sorta hidden) back door, looted all his treasure boxes, and talked to him from behind the counter. His response? "You are the first people to enter from there. I like you. You can stay for free."

In Computer RPGs though, the heroes usually have to be careful not to get caught stealing if someone is watching.

Then, of course, you've got Link's Awakening. Steal from a shopkeeper, you're branded a theif and fried if you go in another shop.
Still, that's not really the norm.

Correction for Shinuzzo: Tabletop RPGs, their adaptations, and most American-made RPGs.

There was that comic where the girl taking piano lessons was afraid to complain because Karn's sword was bigger than she was. And hey, if I hid my cash in plain-looking vases or boxes, it'd be pretty safe from thieves.

Of course, we're also talking about worlds that regularly feature mutated animals, flying castles, walking statues, bullet-proof-but-not-sword-proof armor and people who rise from the dead more often than a George Romero movie. So, as Ardam would be "keen" to point out, logic has no place here, and any sane character won't stay that way for long.
RE: Hey, it's Epilogue, not Ending - E-mouse - 08-24-2006 11:27 PM
Or they'd adopt a form of sanity that works for the world involved, which I expect would be Ardam's goal post-game. It may not make physical sense, but I expect there's some sort of explanation for it all.

Chookie's epilogue has to be the most surreal yet. I'm not sure if any of the others will compare.
The Smurfs reference reminded me of Punks and Nerds because they did a Smurfs gag which reminded me of Donnie Darko because that movie also had a Smurfs reference. My trains of thought are odd that way.

Click here for the logo from the comic, as a larger PNG by the way.
RE: Hey, it's Epilogue, not Ending - Milo - 08-25-2006 12:15 AM
Did this ACTUALLY happen? Chookie has been known to tell silly stories before.

Dear God. I'm going to have
RE: Hey, it's Epilogue, not Ending - alphamai1300 - 08-25-2006 12:37 AM
I dunno, Chookie is a hero in his own rite, now. Too bad he isn't a hero to his own kind, in that sense.
RE: Hey, it's Epilogue, not Ending - sXeAndriex - 08-25-2006 12:48 AM
You know, up until now I had no real desire to see Epiloge CMC cards but hot DAMN do I wanna see Chookmare made into playable form.
RE: Hey, it's Epilogue, not Ending - E-mouse - 08-25-2006 12:58 AM
Best. Epilouge. EVER.
RE: Hey, it's Epilogue, not Ending - Chris B - 08-25-2006 01:07 AM
I agree, it is the best epilogue yet. Although I have high hopes for Spybot and Gildward.
RE: Hey, it's Epilogue, not Ending - sXeAndriex - 08-25-2006 01:17 AM
What the hell is an epilogue?
RE: Hey, it's Epilogue, not Ending - Fanirar - 08-25-2006 01:50 AM
Hm, looks like something you'd get if you mixed Chu-Chu or some other cute thing....with The Punisher: something cute looking, yet more dangerous than any beast around. And with guns named Sugarpuff and Sweetiepie...I'd almost want to play Chookie's sequel (which you know they would come out with a few years after the game was made...) just for the 'story'.
* Fanirar sits and waits for said game...
