"I am not your keeper" WHAT IS THAT EVEN?

Community General Discussion

Why is it that whenever I click on a random centaur in O’Hara plains he will snap back with “I am NOT your keeper”? Whatever does that MEAN?
Keeper of what? Of who? Of why? Keeper how? When? On whose request? Where?
I didn’t ask for that antisocial horse-legged mongrel to be my “keeper”. Besides, where is it supposed to KEEP me? IN A CELLAR? Not a chance.
In a story quest some centaur guy scolds me cause he’s now “obligated to be my keeper”.
BS.
I will not be kept.

If you speak antisocial centaur, please elaborate on this “keeper” nonsense. Thanks.

I believe this would be one of their “annoyed” lines - those you get if you click an npc many times.
By keeper they probably mean someone who is taking care of you, that meaning that you are their responsibility. An example from real world would be keepers of a child - parents I’d say (whether biological or not). Not saying that this has to be the only case.

That would make sense if I decided to occupy myself in my day off by poking the creature over and over however it is a quote you get on the first click.

I NEED NO “Taking care of”.
I HAVE SLAIN MORE CREATURES THAN THEY’VE MET.
I can hunt PLAIN ELEPHANTS JUST FINE THANK YOU
Taking car-
TAKING CARE OF WHAT EXACTLY?

Sometimes it simply bugs out. Had it happen to me a few times too, and that is even in places out of Dragon Isles.

They keep a lot of dogs. And they herd.
I think they’re referring to you as their dog.
Or their ‘sheep’.

Maybe. :sweat_smile:

You seem… different

Probably a reference to “am I my brother’s keeper?” from the bible.

Yes, that was my thought.

Basically NPC saying “it is not my job to fix your problems”.

A keeper is a caretaker or responsible person. Can be a parent, guardian or a nurse.

It means that they owe you nothing and aren’t going to look after you. You have to go out there and face the plains yourself.

I personally hate the Centaur. They are extremely rude, never cared for the “Hurdur I am the best Hunter around” especially in our presence, and their questlines are soOoOo boring. Nice land, though.

Which is quite funny when you consider that the players fix all of their problems, but that’s the casual hypocrisy all supposedly-tough video game characters and their edgy lines fall prey to…

They’re not likeable at all.

What I want to know is how are there any centaur left there at all? I mean they’ve been stuck on those tiny plains for over 10000 years. If there were any left at all at this point they should be incredibly inbred and sterile at this point.

I heard they breed with dryads, female on female.
But you have a point almost all the centaurs i met are homosexuals, maybe they don’t reproduce like regular mammals do.

They have the “Frog in the well” attitude. I mean the saying that because the frog only knew the well it grew up in, it thought that all the world was that well.

I hadnt noticed that line before. Probably a centaur having a bad day…but I can relate though.
When people come to me at work wanting to sort out their ‘he said, she said’ problems my go to response is ‘Im not your mum…sort your own selves out!’ LOL
