After watching gameplay of the High on Life DLC, I only have one criticism;

Why the HELL did they just not get Kenny a new voice actor?! The game does not work without him! Sure he can go on and on but that was part of his charm!

Harper’s great but I was hoping we would be getting an entirely new gun, not a recolor of Kenny. And her humor very much falls flat, like she’s cute but I don’t find myself laughing at her comments as much as Kenny or the other guns. They could’ve done so much more with her but nope she’s just Kenny’s blatantly obvious replacement that even characters in game call out.

Oh yeah, apparently we just dropped Kenny! Like wtf! That’s the ending he gets, after all he’s been through?! I’ve been headcanoning that he got captured or stolen and the Bounty Hunter was still looking for him since the announcement, and the best they could come up with is “Oh yeah, you dropped Kenny.”

My OC Casey would never just drop Kenny or any of the Gatlians and just move on. Fucking hell, I’m literally about to finally jump back into writing my High on Life fanfic and as soon as I’m done with the three parter I left off of, I’m making fun of this exact thing out of pure SPITE! My boy no!

*ahem* Thank you for attending my rant.

fuck it, HIGH ON LIFE HEADCANONS!! (Most of these are for Lezduit but WHO CARES)

Kenny saw Lez as a father figure, especially after the planet’s desecration (Kenny was probably a teenager/young adult when the invasion happened)

Lezduit has poor eyesight but refuses to wear glasses or contacts. mainly thought of this because in both his item render and his main model he’s seen squinting a bit, plus it correlates to my other headcanon of Lez being about 32

Sweezy had an emo phase in high school. (it’s not a phase, mom!)

Gus was a comedian before Gatlus’s invasion. (referencing the fact his voice actor is a comedian)

Lezduit’s subspecies of Gatlian were from the northern quadrant of Gatlus and had thick skin like blubber to conserve warmth, hence Lez’s strength in the war. also the reason he has such a thick neck in my design

The little guys in BALL can understand English but can’t speak it. they often speak to NPCs when equipped ingame

Harper idolized Lez during the war and still looks up to him post-war

Lezduit went into a sort of depressive state after he realized that Kenny was gone and was replaced with Harper. He feels deja vu whenever he’s with her and hates being around her because she reminds him of Kenny

Knifey, Lezduit and Gus are all lefties. Knifey’s got a knife for his right hand, Lez’s right hand was his dominant hand before the war and had to learn to write with his left hand, and Gus was a leftie at birth

Lez has insanely good reflexes. throw a ball at him and he’s catching it every time, even without looking

Knifey can switch out what blade he has attached to his stump and has a collection of knives he uses for certain things

Happy First Anniversary to High on Life

[surveillance-0011]

Comic thing I am thinking about spoilers maybe

So so interesting to me that Harper gets angry at Creature for killing Vardagan when she wanted to while Smithon Wesson’s whole motive for human poaching is the Bounty Hunter killing Garmantuous before he could.

And in a similar related vein. Harper is clearly insecure and frustrated about being new and not recognized. Insisting she’s part of the team. Not really knowing what else to say. And having to deal with being “the replacement”. Meanwhile in his speech to the Gatlian crowd Wesson starts with “You all know me, I served with the war hero Lezduit”. Yeah he’s the guy who served with the Hero. Just part of the team. Kind of seems like he wants what Lez has in a way.

Harper wants to prove herself and hasn’t carved out her own identity in the group yet. Obvious thing to say and reasonable thing to feel but the way it mirrors Wesson’s out sentiments. Hm. Seems like someone might have projected seems like someone taught someone else something a little unhealthy seems like someone’s ideas of glory and righteousness and justice rubbed off on or were even outright told to someone young and vulnerable in the throes of grief and now that other someone still can’t shake off months maybe years of the influence of someone who only sees what he does as worthwhile if it brings him praise and attention someone who thinks getting in that killing shot is all that matters hmmm

I think they like each other…

Spoilers for High On Knife

People think Sweezy is a lesbian because she has a crush on Harper but I personally think she's bisexual because you know the parasite that Creature fucks? And she can fuck him too. Also I think Harper is pansexual, she gives me the vibes

2 & 3 from section 1 for peri and 7 from whichever section has a more interesting #7 for diodore -moss

oooh these are fun ones!

2. Describe their tent set-up (outside and inside) (Peri)

I think Peri's tent is constructed similarly to Gale and Astarion's (boxy, fabric walls, little covered area outside). Deep blue fabric w/ golden astronomical embroidery, mostly the sort of thing you see on star maps. Little golden tassles around the edges of the tarp (?) and the doorframe. He'd have a small, circular, dark wood side table short enough that you can use it sitting on the ground, and a dark blue pillow next to it; there would be some parchment and a bronze miniature astrolabe on the table. The inside would be just. full to the brim with the gaudiest night-sky-themed pillows you've ever seen. No bedroll, no palette, just a nest that would put those cube pits in trampoline parks to shame. There would be two bird perches for his familiar Medani: one taller one next to his tent and one shorter one under the overhang. The shorter one would have a crow-sized bow-tie hanging from it. Rugs on rugs on the outside area ofc. 3. What would their character quest be titled? Why? (Peri)

This is a hard one! His tav ending involves taking over the Waterdeep arm of the Harpers, so I think his arc would have something to do with that. He'd be pretty bitter about being dropped into another near-apocalyptic mess when dealing with the last one a few years prior was supposed to be a one-time thing. Something-something ptsd in a world that doesn't have the words for that yet, something-something 'once a hero always a hero', something-something the weight of responsibility...he's a planeswalker so I think part of it would be whether he decides to stay on Toril long-term and directly help rebuild the Waterdeep Harpers or if he continues to run travel around afterwards, so maybe The Far Traveller/The Far Walker?

Harpson/Fae-son are also potential options. "Fae-son" nods to him being a changeling without it being super obvious (like Astarion's "The Pale Elf"). It would also mimic his backstory reveals from RoT ("oh he's not 'from here' so, like, the Feywild" -> "OH he's not from here"). 7. Describe their arc. How would a player help resolve it? What choices can be made? Can your Tav be turned down a dark path, or pulled to a lighter one? (Diodore)

Buckle up because we're in for a long one here. I've thought about Dora's story arc a lot because she's the first of my tavs that I truly made for the game while having full control over her backstory, etc. (versus Corentin, who had their arc baked into the story as a durge). Dora's a paladin of Corellon (oath of ancients) and her story arc as a companion would have to do with whether or not she should accept capital-r-Redemption, the process by which a drow can be truly "freed" from Lolth and rejoin the ranks of the rest of elven society. It involves all of the Redeemed drow's memories being erased and them being reincarnated as a surface elf. The implication seems to be that without that, regardless of a drow's actions, they'd be thrown back to Lolth when they die? Or at least that their eternal fate is unknown (which is the way I prefer to think of it for. personal reasons). Under normal circumstances, Dora would be a long way from Redemption being presented to her at all (she's not even 200 yet and has only been on the surface for a couple decades), but like with the other gods' Chosen among the companions, near-apocalyptic circumstances tend to speed up those sorts of things.

Of course, you'd have the themes of faith & relationship with deity when they're all unequivocally real and are also mostly all assholes; maintaining or breaking generational cycles; facing the unknown; morality when none of your choices are "good" (and how that interacts with morality vs self preservation); power vs freedom; identity outside of the people who made you; etc. The choice would first be presented to her sometime in late Act I/early Act II, likely the first long rest after the group resurfaces from the Underdark and you've probably gotten some of her backstory already. I have no idea how Larian would have characterized Corellon, but he's considered one of the more benevolent/open-minded deities iirc, which could be interesting to see contrasted with Mystra, Vlaa'kith, and Shar. How much that open-mindedness would extend to a drow, even one who has been a faithful follower even before she escaped to the Surface (and who inherited that faith from her father), is unclear. At the beginning of the game she would be leaning towards accepting Redemption, despite her own misgivings about whether or not she would still be her in that case.

Her final decision (at the ending pier scene) would depend on the relationship she has with the PC and the other companions. Her best ending, imo, would be her not accepting Redemption but continuing to be a force for good. If she has a good relationship with the PC, she would have something to lose. I think seeing the House of Mourning would affect her too. After all, the thing Corellon is offering to her as a way to find peace is the same thing the Sharrans are using as a way to manipulate and control others.

She's viscerally aware of how she was socialized and very actively chooses "good", so pushing her towards a darker path would be incredibly difficult but not impossible. If you side with the goblins she'll leave immediately, and turn on you if she's in your party when you attack the grove. But if you decide to try and control the cult in Act II, depending on your over-all actions before then and how you've interacted with her, you could disillusion her to the point of convincing her to break her oath. That path would entail convincing her that controlling the cult is actually the best idea. I'm sure there would be other times that her oath could break that wouldn't necessarily lock her into an "evil" path, especially with how Oathbreakers are handled in the game. Knocking out Minthara instead of killing her outright and letting Auntie Ethel go in Act I instead of killing her are two things that come to mind.

If she doesn't choose Redemption she would be at the epilogue party, of course. I'm a bit undecided on what would happen if she does choose Redemption. She may not be there at all, w/ Jaheira, Halsin, Minthara, and/or Astarion mentioning running into her in her new, reincarnated state. Or she would be there, confused, and mention how the PC seems familiar in a way she can't quite place. In that case, she would ask them how they know each other and mention something about feeling a twinge of grief looking at everyone, but that she doesn't know why she feels that way. It would be up to the PC how much they tell her (if they tell her anything at all).
