I feel profoundly bad for every rpg yet to come out this year that now has to compete with Metaphor: reFantazio.
#metaphor: refantazio#metaphor refantazio#m:rf#veilguard especially#imagine being the highly anticipated next installment of a mega popular fantasy rpg franchise#so hyped up other games where bumping their release windows so as not to compete#and then two weeks before your set to release the highschool ya guys come out with a new high fantasy rpg ip#that proceeds to absolutely eat your fucking lunch#and do every major theme and idea you've been stumbling over for twenty years but flawlessly#right down to the companion socializing and gripping main story

I just saw a post of a FanArt of Richard Greyson winning gold medals at the Olympics…
so an idea comes to mind…
A crazy guy is stalking the US Olympic team, at first the classic letters from a disturbing stalker, worrying but not enough to do anything more than increase security and start an investigation, after all they are in the middle of the inauguration and there is not much that can be done…
they don't plan to cancel anything… until the truck where the athletes are leaving the event is sabotaged/attacked…
despite the vehicle overturning, most of them had a scare and some bruises… but there are several of them who were left with injuries that prevent them from continuing in the competition.
which should end with the withdrawal of some competitions by the United States… but luckily they meet some of the Wayne boys who came to see the event and they are willing to be substitutes, even if it's just to fill in the spots…
Meanwhile, the Batkids are taking some time off, and by unanimous decision (no one votes against Cas) they decide to go see the opening and some events of the Olympics, what they didn't expect was to find a case involving the Olympic team, where everything seems to point to someone within it, targeting other athletes.
So they decide to investigate from within.
#batman#dick grayson#jason todd#cassandra cain#tim drake#Dick competes in Gymnastics#Jason competes in Shooting#Cas competes in Artistic Gymnastics#Tim is an assistant and investigating#Some substitutes entered to compete because of the accident#They and their families/companions are the main suspects#The Batkids enter the competition to have access to the Athletes#Someone deliberately damaged some seats and safety belts of the truck#It is not known if the culprit was a group or just someone who harmed more victims to mislead#Athletes with fractures#damaged ligaments and broken bones#Most of them ended up well#I know almost nothing about the competitions and the organization of the Olympics#I just need an excuse for these kids to compete and cause a stir#The boys prove that they are more than nepo babies#People wonder why the Wayne boys are on par with Olympic Athletes#Some malicious reporters say that the Waynes were the ones who caused the accident#They justify themselves by saying that they come from Gotham City and so on They do things there#Gotham City residents are outraged#Their princes wouldn't do that

It's just so crazy how many people have played da:I like 3+ times and still don't quite grok that Bianca is directly and p much solely responsible for Corypheus having access to red lyrium.
#and i cant even blame them is the thing!#like in any competently written game that would be a major story beat#but instead it was like. a really minor. underplayed aside in a skippable (iirc#companion quest#like girls what are we DOING.

*sigh* No, I do not wish for you to follow me. I would prefer you imbeciles to remain standing in still water so you can be feasted upon by mosquitos as you seem to derive some kind of pleasure being made a meal by parasites.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#minthara#minthara baenre#evil murder kitten#when everyone has a 8 Str stat and they can't jump out of the water on their own#so minthara has to go in and hold their hands - carefully guiding them out of the water#and none of them are even looking at her because they *know* she's disappointed in them#at this moment she is contemplating recruiting new companions as these ones aren't even competent enough to just jump out of the damn water

“I’m not going anywhere”
#this was borne out of me thinking about#kdj having a strange pull towards stargazing#and having to reassure yjh often that he’s not in the rooftop to kill himself#somewhat annoyed#but then he is forced to understand that he is actually still passibly suicidal#maybe he will catch himself this time. if he looses his balance#but between letting his companions know parts od f himself he doesn’t know or doesnt like and dying#hed choose death#its not even hyperbole#im so soft for kdj recovery fics in which he sucks#and this sucks#and he cant grasp the concept that this is the best thing for his comoanions#and hes just having a hard time w everything bc he cant burst through his issues with competence and usefulness anymore#anyways#orv omniscient reader's view point#orv#omniscient reader novel#omniscient reader's viewpoint#orv fanart#orv kdj#kim dokja#fanart#kdj fanart#yoo jonghyuk

thinking about chine as somebody that casually sings to themself often, excited to have a baby for the excuse to make up little songs for it as they travel.
#broken record voice#he had music written in his journal on hand and ready to give to the quartet!#they were competent enough at writing music that the band recognized it#they were the first and most enthusiastic to sing along with virtue in the underground cathedral!!#in this essay i will-#also thinking about chine imagining traveling alone with It after the blackwick contract is up#with or without duvall he’d have a little companion that was free of all the weird baggage adults bring with them#they hadn’t really considered being a parent before but warm up to the idea Very Fast

Playing Baldur's Gate 3, get Halsin
Me: "He's hot and seems fun, but idk. We'll have to see-"
Halsin, after a long pause looking at Tav: "Apologies. I often find myself distracted appreciating the beauty of nature's creations"
Me:
#I had just been talking about how the game lets you really come on strong#took the less overt option#and then his smooth ass hits me with that#and i was like oh#I want him#my husband is like#how the fuck am I supposed to compete with lines like that?#Baldur's Gate 3#bg3#Halsin#This just makes me more upset out how much less I see Halsin content over the other companions#He's so good man

ok so its kind of really annoying me that all these new dav companions have been mentioned/introduced in books/comics/whatever source materials outside of the games. like the default worldstate that bioware uses for those is one i so vehemently disagree with that i genuinely cant reconcile that the characters im supposed to be meeting for the first time in dav are “from” a world with such different endings to what i envision. like between that and removing what dragon age keep does for the new game its like ok so all the decisions i made were useless? ive been playing these games for almost a decade of my life and the parts of it i held dear are now something i should overlook?
#the absolute number one annoyance is that alistair is king btw. makes any bioware written non-game story frustrating to me#like anora is/was a really competent ruler with experience and the rights to kee the throne. alistair actively didn’t want the position and#even in inquisition if hes made king theres nods to how hes not as good a ruler as someone else would be#just so so sexist to say ‘umm well this inexperienced unwilling guy has priority bc he has royal blood. lets ignore the person who’s been#competently running the country for years’#anyways this post brought to you by how excited i am to have just encountered warden alistair in dai#t#da lb#but yeah. i dont plan on reading where the new companions have been introduced#that shouldnt be a prerequisite to getting to know them in the game. right. right

the whole 'who should be first talon' thing is actually going to give me a headache the more i think about it
#like at this point i'll give it to illario in fic#but that's just bc i really don't want to think about crow politcis#bc tbh i also dont think he should be#if anyone#i think viago should be the next one just bc i find him more competent for the job#but in my heart of hearts#i'm like#destroy the crows man they're barely functional as is#god ok this is my love of zevran poisoning me#BIOWARE WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS#WHY WRITE A SHORT STORY WHERE LUCANIS IS LIKE MATE I REALLY DO NOT WANT IT#AND THEN NOT EVEN ALLOW THE PLAYER TO FUCKING CHOOSE THAT#bc like god AT LEAST the last time a companion was being forced into a position of power he did not want#IT DEPEND ON YOU#alistair doesn't have to be king if you don't want him to beL#Im gonna go insane#illario you're only getting this promotion cause i dont want headaches but i don't think you should have this job#nor do i think the job should exist#i think the crows existing is why antiva is kinda fucked forever#bc it feels like they refuse to build an army bc they have the crows#but the crows can't be their army#anyways anyways#im gonna stop

on the one hand, i'm sad that the unromanced companions can't romance one another bc some of those dynamics are *chef's kiss*
on the other hand, i'm glad for it, because then my tav would be fucked (or, rather, unfucked?) because there's no way anyone's choosing him over anyone else. it just wouldn't make any sense
#he simply cant compete#its like that 'you vs the guy he told you not to worry about meme'#except it's literally all the companions#'something something poly!'#'then there's no need to choose!!!'#except who would opt to also indulge in expired gas station sushi when they have access to a five star buffet??? hello?????#im prolly the only one to feel like this lmao but like... ugh#romancing the companions is fun but there's just No Way anyone would be attracted to him#and then it's not so fun#tav#bg3 tav#bg3#to the void with love

Otto the octopus vs Azul with researcher reader
When Otto causes a power outage, it’s “aww, such a cute, silly, funny octopus.” When Azul causes a power outage, it’s “bad Azul!! Don’t do that! Not cute or silly!!!! >:(”
Azul never thought a day would come where he was jealous of his own kind. The fact that you fawn over another octopus is not fair! He hates it! That annoying Otto is always wrapping his tentacle around you in greeting and you always smile and feed him. It should be Azul who receives your full attention and adoration, not some boring octopus who can’t even understand human speech in the way Azul can! He’s going to try even harder to impress you so that you’ll stop favoring Otto and focus entirely on him.
#twisted chit chat#at least azul doesn’t have to compete with the twins *and* otto#the next day azul wakes to two new companions in the tank across from his#and he’s like ‘you have got to be kidding me -_-’

people in the party who don’t have to experience the fullest extent of sol’rys’ sparkling personality™ : lae’zel, karlach, maybe astarion, animals, clerics of lolth, someone who romances him.
people in the party who do have to experience the fullest extent of sol’rys’ sparkling personality™ : everyone else.
#competent warrior women with swords & clerics of lolth have privileges .#if he were a canon companion RIP .#you lose approval when you take illithid parasites or influence people .#like tbf he does treat you with respect if he approves of you .#low approval he’s unpleasant . doesnt like you . and doesn’t hide it . :|

broke: whatever the master used to replace even's liver functions the same as a normal human liver (aside from the part where it'll. explode or something. if they don't let him tinker with it every once in a while.)
woke: superior liver functions. even can't get drunk anymore.
bespoke: this fucker did not bother to stick to human biology when fixing them. even now has the equivalent of time lord livers, which is much less sexy than time lord hearts and also means they can't eat anything with ginger in it without getting intoxicated. no one tells them this fact btw. (and also they'll still explode.)
#dw oc#the master was competent enough to keep them from dying and replace their messed up organ.#but doing it correctly? he forgor#well that and a sort of sick satisfaction at taking the doctor's human companion and making them a weird little freak of nature with time#lord elements.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN EDIT
#HELP#also this ep was. oof. i promise im not just shitting on the serena episodes like it wasnt THAT bad#but this was supposedly a serena episode but it came to a halt to just be a tr one#where ash is the one to save everyone and we literally barely see the pokepuff competition bc of it#it literally just cuts to them losing (which i like that they lost but cmon?)#obviously the tr thing happens a lot but generally if an episode is abt another companion then the focus will still be on them#instead of putting ash up front and putting the actual story to a halt#like. just have tr be the third winners of the preliminary and have them compete against serena and miette#and thats the whole episode. but ig otherwise its harder to set up ship bait scenes#bc we cant just have a moment like that at the end or something#also i like miette but yeah im gonna make her deal out to be gay too#shes flirting with serena and doesnt care abt ash and is just being weird abt it#echoed voice#pokeani lb#so my issue isnt that its a serena ep its that its a serena ep with a lack of serena plot

hm i do think the discussion of whether sera would have been better in da2 is less about like whether she would like the setting/characters of the game and more of a reaction to the flaws in sera’s writing (look at her writer) and general flaws in inquisition as a whole. while obviously her role as a pov for the little guy is important and necessary, it is handled pretty poorly overall and the inquisitors super sonic rise to immense political power kind of means you never really get a chance to engage with sera on her ideas and worldview, even if the inquisitor is part of one of the groups that would be considered the little guy in most societies in thedas, so i think its fair to say that if sera was in a smaller scale game, with more concern for the social issues sera’s entire character is concerned with her character could feel stronger. ie a game like da2
#its less about sera not 'belonging' in inq and more a reaction to how she is incorporated in inq#which is to say not very well (again look at her writer)#and this isnt saying she'd be automatically incorporated better into da2 because that game is also really really flawed#like i think if the writers were more competent and had a clear message and tone for da:i we wouldn't be having this discussion#beyond funny companions swaps#just my opinion anyway
