also now that i've gone thru saving both cities i do appreciate that there's fallout for both decisions in the environment and it's unnerving to go back to but it isn't the same. i like the idea that only one of these cities is getting blighted--it feels like to the gods, minrathous is a opportunity to gather power given the venatori and the presence of a lot of advanced mages, the military might of an empire, and connections to ancient elvhen history. treviso has no army or strong governmental influence, the crows are not the most useful group to raise as an army of devotees and seem unlikely to ally with the gods regardless, and it's mostly civilians. it's a good place to take off the map/declaw, and for ghilan'nain, what gets blighted is hers to use--treviso is better left as scraps to salvage.
#ari plays datv#datv spoilers#ripe for fic opportunities either way tbh. as an IF girlie i feel like if you REALLY spent some time with it you could have like.#a whole bunch of noir intrigue type missions in minrathous.#a lot of investigating the blight and trying to salvage treviso.#like. i enjoyed the vibes of wicked eyes and wicked hearts so much and i understand that's not always a thing everyone likes in Game Games#but also. i looooove intrigue and small scale but going DEEP stories that incorporate choice mechanics#like the environmental fallout in minrathous is also unnerving despite not being blighted. it Did Not Feel Good (positive)#to come back to the shadow dragons' hideout and it's RANSACKED. there's evidence of public executions. military (templar?) presence is ther#but it feels more like you're being surveilled not that they're guarding the citizenry from the venatori.#i'm curious to see how the storylines are altered as i go. bc it's already making me desperate to Chew On Things#anyway i should probably get back to writing my own shit lol
