That’s if you don’t take him at face value - which would have been a great RP point if it weren’t for the fact feeding literally gives him a “Happy” buff and leaves the other party with a “Bloodless” debuff, and that there’s no visible bite mark on your character unless you let him feed on you iirc. Plus, he makes good on his promise to not sneak around the camp again if you go “oh yeah, no worries dude you could’ve just asked”, so even moreso he seems sincere about only feeding on animals since joining up. If anything, he was acting less like a rapist and more like an addict because he was going through, y’know, literal blood withdrawals.
I swear, that bloodless debuff to rolls is why I meta-gamed and never let him get his stupid teeth near my character again. She’s like, “I mean, it’s not like things can get any weirder and this way he’s not sneaking up on anyone else and getting into a pulp like if he tried that on Lae’zel,” but I was screaming, “You EFFED all my dice rolls, you a-hole!”
Honestly better to just let him kill you. 200g for vampire bite ability & a free face punch for that smarmy lovable asshole. Love him, but felt good.
I let him kill me and I don't think I got the vampire bite ability, is that through a dialogue option?
Yes
