AVOWED - DAWNSHORE LIGHTHOUSE

[imperatoralicia]

Avowed is a game where a little nerd man will explain every piece in his entire collection of banners if you want him to.

Envoy Ismay + Dawnshore Outfits

Some Avowed chatter (no spoilers for anything past Dawnshore and early Emerald Stair but I'll tag it and put it under a cut just in case)

I'm having so much fun. I love how opposite my Watcher and Envoy are, and I'm finally getting a good grasp on just who my Envoy is. Lumina (Watcher) was very much chaotic good. She helps people with an open mind but has some fun with it. She embodies the chaos of the Living Lands, where she grew up, but also showcases her loving and understanding family and the way they raised her. She supported animancy wholeheartedly. She despised the gods, even before they involved her in their scheming. She was sensitive about her godlike heritage and how it makes her feel like an outsider. Imrae (Envoy) started and is currently very lawful neutral. She is a respectable member of the Aedyran court and puts duty above all else. She worships Woedica of course, and respects others of faith. Her family wasn't particularly loving and it shows with her somewhat cold detachment from others. She's proud of her godlike heritage and likes when others put her on a pedestal. She is skeptical of watchers and animancy and thinks it should only ever be used under extreme supervision. But now with the mushroomy voice in her head? I'm having her rethink some things. She's curious about the voice. Go see a Watcher? Maybe they aren't all charlatans and con artists. Go see an animancer? I guess it can't hurt. Idk it's just all very fun and I love where I think it's headed.

Okay I have finished avowed so it is time for me to yap about a video game series/setting nobody gaf about! God I love Eora so much, and I love what was done in Avowed with it. Yeah yeah reactionaries on youtube and twitter love to shit on it because it has *gasp* gays and *gasp* women, but we here don't care about that and what I care about is the setting and oh god. The setting.

This is honestly the best they could've done with the ending of Deadfire without giving us a single choice about our decision (considering this is on an entirely different continent and all parties involved were as far away from Deadfire as possible when shit went down). We hear from NPCs so many conflicting theories about what happened, with every potential ending being brought up here and there at least once, and with (spoilers to one of Dawnshore sidequests) one of the NPCs, godlike of Eothas, talking about what happened to Eothas, what happened to the Wheel and what comes next. Idk if it's the setup for PoE3 or for Avowed 2, but I am personally thinking/hoping for the former, as that would make the most sense for the characters.

Because man, the hint that it will be the war between the gods and mortal? And everyone against everyone, really? Something that has been building up since the first game, with gods always being at each others throats and everything being as unstable as possible? Yeah, I can see this progression in further games and I really hope that the reactionaries acting like they are doesn't kill Obsidian before they can make the next game in Eora setting.

And god, they made such a great use of Eora as the setting. They included so much lore into this land which is so far separated from the rest of the world you'd think you would see barely anything here. But no. They keep bringing up things of old, they keep giving us new revelations, I love it so much. Gosh I love this setting.

And yeah, I enjoyed the companions a lot as well, they are my friends :3 No need for romanceability here I am fine just helping them discover themselves. I think I accidentally made Yatzli choose the worst outcome for her though. Or second worst. I'm sorry for thinking being an archmage is cool, my Envoy is a nerd, of course they would recommend her apprentice for Ryngrim.

Yap session over back to your regularly scheduled mcyt posting

[herearedragons]

still thinking about the Thalla fight because. what ACTUALLY happened in my playthrough was that both Kai and Marius went down, and I forgot my heal/revive so Cynewulf proceeded to take the ogre down by herself, with her little bow and her little dodge, and then she ducked back into the alley where the fight started, revived her buddies, regenerated some health and then they went back out on the street and killed the rest of the Sparrowhawks together.

and like. I keep thinking about Kai and Marius coming to and realizing that not only is the envoy not dead, she has taken Thalla down on her own, David and Goliath-style (holy shit his corpse is right there and he has no eyeballs left to speak of, it's all arrows), and all she needs is like. to take a breather.

like I think maybe at this point the realization occurs that the funny pink mushroom girl is also one of the emperor's most deadly people. like she's had a rough start in Dawnshore but she is, in fact, capable of both Incredible Killing and Incredible Survival and now that the adjustment period is over we're starting to see her actual capabilities and it's kind of a lot.

I also think she might get into the Paradisan spirit (by which I mean: violence and power plays) and like. cut off Thalla's head and nail it to a wall someplace prominent. to send a little message. you know she's really getting sick of being talked down to and jumped on the streets Go Back To Aedyr-style
