Maybe, mayhaps, Varric’s narration at the end of the quests isn’t meant to be dead serious. Like how there are many moments in the games that aren’t dead serious. Maybe the narration still builds up tension and worry about a situation, while still keeping it lighthearted enough. Maybe it gives you a break from the tension while still allowing build up. Maybe that’s the point, the point is to be a little goofy.
Maybe the game itself isn’t meant to be this big serious fantasy game. It still has many moments of being serious and having genuine tension & emotion, but maybe it’s not meant to always be dead serious. How do you hear Rook imitating Varric and assume that the games going to be super serious all the way through?
Please just critique the game for actual reasons it deserves to be critiqued.
And for the love of all that’s well in the world, play literally any other rpg than bg3 or accept that bg3 is not written well. I wilt everytime someone thinks bg3 is the epitome of good rpgs. At the very least play the first two baldur’s gate games. Or y’know break away from RPGs and literally any narrative game.

Watching people who still haven't worked out being attracted to ghouls is so funny. It's such a non-issue to me it's like watching people discover drinking water on a hot day.

I swear if y’all don’t start watching Interview with the vampire. It’s some of the best tv out there.

A remake of something I used to have on my long-deleted deviantart lol. After 12 years of being a mad father fan, I've boiled down the essence of the game to this image.

I'm a cheater-cheater-pumpkin-eater type of player and to celebrate the new update on fo4 I've decided to turn off all of my mods and turn on survival mode.
I've died several times.
Send help.

So. You know all those various ask games where you can ask someone to explain a current WIP, or write three sentences on a fic they're working on and then share them, or similar? Well, we're doing something like that over here, only I am vastly expanding what is on offer. Because while I generally only ever have two WIPs, I have a whole fucking LOT of ideas. So! Here is my mostly-Valicer-AUs-themed ask game for you all:
Send 💬/[conversation bubble] for me to ramble on about any of the below AUs for a bit
Send 🌈/[rainbow] for me to write three+ sentences of either a real or hypothetical fic for the AU
Your choices:
Actual WIPs
-->Londerland Bloodlines (currently working on "Downtown Queensland," but I'm willing to discuss other installments)
-->Valicer In The Dark (currently working on "Start At The Beginning...Sort Of," though I'm extremely willing to get into the VITD universe as a whole)
Things I Have Previously Discussed On Here
-->Modern AU Valicer (aka the source of most of those Not-Incorrect Quote things I did for a while)
-->Valicer Soulmates AU
-->Ever Ever After (that Four Victorians Riding A Roller Coaster fairytales AU -- yes, I came up with a title for the damn thing)
-->The Hypothetical Valicer Forgotten Vows AU
-->The Three-Player Childhood Friends Valicer In AMA AU (or, frankly, anything related to Smiler's Otherland stuff)
-->Fallout of Darkness (yes, this is actually still around! I am still playing Fallout 4 and making notes on it! I'm up to the point in the main questline where Victor has to hunt down a Courser, which he is doing as he completes the Mechanist questline)
-->This Hypnokinky Fantasy-Medieval Valicer One-Shot From OT3 Week (heed the hypnokinky there! It's not EXPLICIT explicit but it's fairly open about what's about to happen to Victor at the end)
Deranged AUs That Only Lived In My Brain -- UNTIL NOW
-->Dinner For Three, a Valicer AU based on the horror comedy film The Menu (I actually just came up with that title, despite how obvious it is)
-->Infinite Loops-Style Valicer AU (inspired by me finding the TV Tropes page for that series and going "wow, Corpse Bride would have a really short loop if it followed the time period that we saw in the movie...")
-->Valicer Changeling: The Lost AU (I've discussed Valice versions of this waaaay in the past, but this is a new Valicer variant that would be set in the modern day)
-->Some Thoughts On A BITD Smiler In Beneath A Broken Sky (not a full AU since the fic that it's based off of isn't complete yet -- this is just me with some ideas I came up with where a Smiler from a BITD-based world without a local Victor and Alice gets yeeted into the BABS setting -- oh, and the fic itself isn't visible unless you're logged into AO3, just fair warning)
-->The New Severance (Apple TV) AU That Is Strangling My Brain (this is ALL @penny-anna's fault, go read Welcome To The Panopticon, it is FASCINATING and gives me Valicer AU ideas for a show I've never even WATCHED)
There. Choice. Enjoy.

Look, I'm not going to comment this on the actual post because I don't want to start shit or personally call out whoever put this response, but.
On the ghoul survey with the question 'what causes ghouls to turn feral' someone put 'the person's personality and morality pre-ghoulification' and im just.
You realize that ghoulification has heavy ties to disability right. While I partially blame bethesda for creating and using feral ghouls as off-brand zombies that they encourage you to kill on sight, this fact remains.
To quote the wiki:
It is known that it is a result of a degeneration of the brain and emerges following the atrophy of higher brain functions, accompanied by an increased level of aggression and appetite
All I'm saying is to PLEASE think about the implications of stating that mental degradation and acquired disability, even fictional, is tied to morality

Okay instead of spending my free time playing a game, I am instead spending it trying to make sure the game isn’t dying. Dragon Age: Origins you really are a special creature.

more botw shenanigans!
hadn’t played for a bit because i got sucked into far harbor again and i haven’t even been to see dima at acadia yet
but i finally got back to it last night and again tonight and i had a blast! found some more shrines, notable loot there includes the climbing headpiece and pants so that makes my life easier. i also got safely onto hateno tower despite the thorns as well so my map has a new big chunk for me to explore and find shrines in!
i also made it to hateno village itself and hit all the stores. i added a couple new pieces to link’s wardrobe, dyed every single piece of clothing he has purple, and expanded my cooking abilities with some new ingredients - milk, rice, honey, and butter! i easily spent half an hour cooking tonight lol
i also did a sidequest! it was the one where i fought monsters on the beach! and i got a couple more korok seeds. i am starting to realize why people dislike the koroks though, but i’m taking a more “i’ll mark it on the map and come back when i have more experience” kind of approach
Tumblr media
anyway, here’s link and breeze as i left them when i saved!
