It's interesting picking the "..." dialogue options in-game, since NPCs often assume a different intent than I had in mind.

I imagine this is a common occurrence for Teejay; in lieu of knowing what he's thinking, people jump to their own conclusions, which may be worse than just saying something.

The gap closer one is interesting to me. I don't know what the old ones were like, but I main PLD and Intervene does do damage. Optimization brain says to avoid using it as much as possible outside of damage buffs, which isn't great (though with PLD's ranged kit it's at least doable).

Honestly...I don't know! I've been wanting to flesh out the region of the First that Teejay's from—it's not Norvrandt, so it's a completely blank slate for me to fill.

I do think the flavors there are unlike what he's seen in the Source, but the level of variety is the great thing about stew!
