I'm really sorry for the ask spam!! It's just that I have been following you're fe3h content for so long and now you're on bg3 and it's so cool, I love hearing all your thoughts!

Have a good day or night and sorry again!!

You hit me in the BG3 - Fe3h brainworm, thanks you so much

hehe ty, it really is a pipeline.

Vaxlan give Felix vibe

You know it's funny you say that because I based him off of the ship Vax/Scanlan from Critical Role but mostly off of Vax's looks and the entire reason I was first interested in Felix FE in 2019 was because I thought [pre-time skip anyways] Felix reminded me of Vax in looks😂if it wasn't for that guy I wouldn't have had my fe3h phase

Love hearing about your playthrough too, it's very entertaining :]

TY! I've been worried I'm a bit annoying with it I literally cannot stop talking and thinking about this game 🥹👍 glad you're enjoying the rambles.

You're doing bg3 lives??!?

Liveblogging my progress > yes Livestreaming the game > NO I play on steam deck and otherwise i have a shitty macbook there is no way i will never be able to stream this game (trust me ur not missing anything its mostly just running around maps lost and really shitty quality graphics in the game)

---

ANYWAYS TO ANSWER THE LAST ASK (I wanted to make sure I answered all your other asks!) don't apologize it was sweet to see all the messages 🥹! Tysm! I'm glad you're enjoying what is mostly me being self indulgent with bg3 liveblogging doodles and posts

Dang, that one FE 3 hopes fancomic on twitter wasn't kidding; Lorenz can win the entire War by himself, while Shez & Claude gets pizza. For real, he has an ability that makes him invincible AKA taking NO DAMAGE. A YouTuber posted videos about this, with today showing a LEVEL ONE Lorenz can still solo carry on hard while reaching S-Rank results.

Quickly scrolled through my twitter to see if I'd retweeted what you're referring to with 0 memory of it, but I don't think I have. If anon or anyone else has a link, I'd love to see it? asdfasd

I've seen a bunch of jokes about Lorenz taking No Damage though and they're all so funny. sdfgsdfgs Good for him, and his gilded Gloucester roses.

Tbh I hadn't played him a lot yet. When I first finished GW I moved onto AG and then SB, and then went back and spent all my in-game money in each save file on the various gifts in the shop to see each character's C support with Shez (DIDN'T SAVE so I could reuse the gifts / keep my gold), and Then went back a few times to replay fights in GW to level up characters I hadn't been using (I had been using Lorenz) for the sake of party balance and seeing their C supports amongst each other.

(LONG negativity and spoilers of the content in the demo and 3 houses below the cut)

Additionally, I am dismayed about Lorenz thus far. Besides him not having an A support with Hilda, there's no dialogue for their C support I unlocked, and his C support with Claude is stuck behind a plot point "These characters will not be able to increase their support for some time," and Lorenz's C support with Shez hurt me personally sdfjkhbsdkjfg . Because I'm a Big Baby.

So like, I was on the verge of not liking Lorenz the first time I played fe3h, and I was so shocked and romanced and enamored and whatever about his postskip content in VW, both in his supports and otherwise, but all that character growth came from a year of missions with Byleth / My Unit / Fae and 5 years of war. 3 Hopes will be set primarily 2 years into the war, after what amounts to barely half a mission with Shez / My Unit / Avery, Lorenz isn't on a path to personal growth as far as I can tell, and has no need to be.

I'm distressed that Count Gloucester giving Acheron a device that controls demonic beasts causing the assassination of Duke Godfrey von Riegan and Raphael's parents will never come up. While three houses didn't provide Lorenz the opportunity to speak on this, one could at least imagine that he was informed. He had time to make more than acquaintance with the commoners at the academy, to be more than suspicious of Claude. He had reason to question his worldview.

In Verdant Wind there is a moment where Claude reassures Lorenz that he wouldn't ask him to fight his father, to which Lorenz responds that while he's glad of that he would, if asked, because his serves his people (of Fodlan? Gloucester? I forget). I'm not coordinated enough to manage the datamine well:

But we have this other moment in 3 Hopes so far where Claude has instead asked Lorenz in wording that felt very similar, whether he would fight his father.

And Lorenz stayed silent, but there was the strong implication that he would not, in my opinion. He has no need to question what he's learned, and based on the pacing of the demo I'm unconvinced there will be the time to.

And then there was Lorenz's C support with Shez where he tells Shez that as a commoner he should not be leading troops, and he goes on about how it's the nobility's responsibility to look after commoners and concludes by offering his protection to Shez if Shez requires it. There is the option to thank Lorenz, and so i do, and Shez says something to the effect of, "Oh, I thought you were here to complain, but you're actually being nice." And Lorenz can barely control his laughter. He finds it so droll: the very idea! That he could be nice to a commoner! And Lorenz clarifies it isn't kindness, he's simply explaining How Things Are, and Shez realizes that Lorenz is there to complain and the whole thing left me so … sad.

Because it felt like the sort of character analysis of him that I'd write! Where I say that he's actually kind and chivalrous and in love with the idea of love, and isn't just this hollow misogynist ideal of duty. Why the olive branch to Lysithea, the acceptance of Leonie's authority, the admiration of Ignatz's talents, the willingness to aid Hilda, if not because of a respect for others?

So I hadn't gone back to playing Lorenz yet. I expect he will be much as I love him by the end of the game still, but this specific slap in the face hurt me after the plot has already been so unkind.
