I will second this.

>I know there are a few out there who prefer it the way it is now.

Well, the nice thing about the demeanor verb is how you can adjust it pretty finely. These people could have a less reserved demeanor for particular professions, or particular people. So it would be generally pretty easy to keep allowing the people they want to check their armor while keeping their colder demeanor.

They like having their armor adjusted without having to change their demeanor, the same way quite a few would like to be able to get healing without changing it.

Now set a racial demneanor and see what happens. When both race and profession setting apply, you can't choose which should have preference. You may want to avoid dark-elf sorcerers and let dark elf healers heal you, but the demeanor settings won't let you.

>Quite a few people out there would like to keep their reserved/cold demeanor and still get the healing they want. To some it is a hassle/annoyance/whatever, to change their demeanor every time they want healing then change it back.

The difference in this situation is that a character with a reserved/cold demeanor has a choice to A)continue to be cold and refuse all healing with Demeanor, B)use Befriend to choose whom to heal them, or C)get healed from anyone, then go back to their reserved/cold demeanor and not be touched again (which is why many people use the Demeanor settings).

The character who has the reserved/cold demeanor has no choice whether or not their armor is adjusted or not since ARMOR ignores Demeanor/Befriend entirely.


It might be a hassle to change Demeanor settings, but it's still a choice that's there. There is none for ARMOR adjustments.

Anyone with a fancy red name, preferably someone with a hand in these systems, want to, or are able, to make a comment here?

>Done. Note that being members of the same group trumps demeanor, however.
