They have always been lazy. that's why the nerf something, instead of reading what WE think should happen to that skill.

Love triangle? Maybe an old issue of As Ascalon Turns?

Maybe Melka is his sister, but then again, maybe Paulus has been keeping her warm at night. He never did know when to stay out.

I noticed that before, I just thought that 1) It was too tiny a fault to mention on the forum, and 2) It was a good joke and it didn't need to be fixed

It looks like 2 quest descriptions from 'Take a message to my wife' and 'In memory of Paulus' have been fused together. Oh well...

Gurn is an Ascalon soldier that has been on patrol for a while, and hasn't been in contact with his wife in a while, and wants you to get her a message.

Like I said Paulus never did know when to stay out of places where he did not belong.

The quest is to take an item that Paulus apparently had in life to Melka.... I'm thinking that maybe it's saying that Paulus had no family or friends, aside from Melka, so you're to take his posessions/holy symbol to the only real friend he had in life...

though a love triangle is much more interesting

By 'love triangle' I beleive that they meant Paulus was Melka's "Backdoor Man" (please don't misinterpret that one as well) AKA "the guy who was 'keeping her company' while her husband was away." In situations like these, it's usually considered a high priority to prevent said husband from even knowing of the existance of said guy.

Though, I must say that your version of events makes things even more interesting in Ascalon...

By the way, I noticed this the first time I ran through the game as well. At first I figured the Dev's had thought it might seem harmless since chivalrous relationships (non-sexual) were common in the time period in which GW is (kind of) set and, on top of that, Paulus was a monk. Of course, it's apparent now that most players minds, including mine, didn't view it like that.

No I think a sizable proportion of the "mature" GW population didn't take it in the harmless way that I suppose it was intended.

Essence Bond. I think it trumps every other monk spell in its capacity for innuendo.

Well at least the triangle is (somewhat) explained after you complete the Paulus quest.
