she never dated until she did, and then it was suddenly all torrid romances with weird high-powered (or aspirationally high powered) men and it always felt a little whiplashy. she was fun to be friends with too, lol, till she wasn’t.

I always have one friend I think of when people talk about that kind of friend and yeah, I could see her having a torrid romance with dio that she mentions offhand years and leaves us all like “wtf????”

it's not that bad on mouse and keyboard! some things are a little complicated! downside is googling literally,,,anything to do with the game has made me aware that i would not like to engage with the community at all. seems like a game with a lot of salt.

watched a lot of friends play this back in the day, so it's cool to play it! downside (not for me, really, as i'm more used to it anyways) is that i have to mouse and keyboard it as it hurts my hands to grip a controller for more than a short amount of time.

anyways fic #399 going up soon

I won’t be for now as we’re still too early to see if it’ll stick and also. I should draw her myself, y’know? Do my own work.

anyways this is on my mind with the whole “can an orokin be redeemed” thing buddy I’ve been cosplaying as one in game for months

also it’s wild how much I struggled the first time I tried to fight an eidolon vs now. again titania mvp for getting things done.

(I also hate canon abdel adrian but that’s a petty personal grudge because I hate him so much. See also: games not respecting player choices in previous games. alas, not everything can be dragon age 1-3 or mass effect.)

and the other part is sarevok’s inclusion and… all that. I think they could have made it work, and larian’s never shied away from completely ignoring what happened in a previous game to do whatever they want regards to canon and choices you can make, so I half-expected it going in but man.

my issues with viconia are my standard issues with forgotten realms evil women writing (especially drow) and I don’t really fault larian because they did so damn good with minthara. I feel like it’s gotta be restrictions on the part of wizards wrt what can happen with legacy characters, but idk

mostly things regarding the characters from bg 1+2! I’ll make a thread on discord some time and elaborate a little.

(I do like jaheira here and I’ve never liked minsc and I think they’re both mostly fine, but viconia and one other character made me pretty upset)

again. i joked when playing bg1+2 pre three coming out that it was going to make me insufferable when it came out and boy do i wish i'd been wrong.

bg3 is a really good game with a few parts that are so infuriatingly bad i want to never play it again when i come to them.

also i can rant about the two stupid parts i hate to her without spoilers
