Miles is infamous.

It looks like Gumshoe is his only friend.

Either he's upset about turnabout samurai case or just in angst. Or just what his therapist told him to do. ehehe.

On the funny side of things, I just realized how unbelievable this trio of friends are. Like Phoenix, Miles and Larry had been accused of murder at some point in their lives. That says a lot about them.

After showing him a picture of Misty Fey, we got him talking. He admits it that Phoenix is that good of a lawyer. Or determined.

Despite being not seeing each other so long, we all know they all thought dearly of each other.

I also realized another thing when Phoenix said "...pay you back." OMG. How did I not see it. These two are all about doing one another favors under the pretense of paying back for all the favors. Even wonder when these favors they do for each other ends.

And he doesn't know yet. ehehehe. Plus I don't have a ss of his thinking face yet.

Phoenix thinking if Miles is innocent and his chances of winning. He doesn't think Miles is guilty at all!

Nerdy Prudes nailpolish headcanons:

Pete: cannot stand the feeling for the life of him, it's cold and wet and icky and he hates it, everyone tries to convince him cause he has nice nails but he refuses

Steph: gets them professionally done every few weeks, never chipped, probably wears acrylics

Grace: carries one of those pocket sized pastel pink nail kits with little scissors and files

Ruth: does her nails once in a blue moon in the most garish colours she can find, has about 17 half dried bottles laying around that she forgets to use up

Richie: has black nailpolish exclusively, worst cuticles known to man

right, I've been Thinking. About something that I don't really... see... talked about? Maybe its just me, but I haven't seen any posts about it. Um. Erin is so lonely.

Of course, right? Aurora is practically Loneliness: the Comic and its interesting seeing how it manifests for different reasons, and in different ways. Alinua's is deep, ingrained in her, and it seeps into everything. Kendal's is new, like everything else, and he's still trying to understand it. Falst's has claws and sharp teeth and the need to protect. Dainix's is softer, in the background; Tess' used to be all around her, but it's been better lately.

Where's Erin's? He's the elemental magus, the aseran champion, he has a hundred connections but no one who stays for him. He must regard Tarren as a bit of a miracle, I think. Yet Kendal and Alinua went with him. Granted, this is because VD technically can't hurt them, but even if he could've they would have made the same decision. There are now 5 people who know of the all-consuming darkness inside him and have chosen to stay. So now what? Now comes the desperation, as others have mentioned, because Erin is hubristic and prideful but it's also partly a cover-up for his need to be worthy of the power he's been given. Despite the front he puts up, Erin cares. We heard it from his sister: he doesn't. Leave people. Behind. In his eyes he becomes the leader of the group, the one who will keep anything from happening to anyone. Not to get too 'gifted kid' with this, but the environment Erin was raised in taught him to put Greatness above all else, even in regards to his worth as a person. So these people- he has to show them he's great, because if he's not, he's not worthy, and he's not enough, and everyone will see him for the incompetent arse he is and then they will leave. He can't have that. Not again. I also saw the 'you don't have to hold me back anymore' as said because he doesn't believe Tess would care about him of her own accord. He knows why Tess left, there aren't supposed to be any hard feelings, but subconsciously he can't shake the fact that the Runaaser siblings don't leave people behind. Yet she did. Tl;dr Erin's need to hold everything together is because he's fiercely protective of everyone, because he cares about them and doesn't want them to think he's not strong enough, because then they'll leave. Basically adding another layer to the hubris -> actually partly desperation posts (which are rly good) that's like. -> the desperation is also partly because he's lonely and needs people to stay and care about him (because obviously no one does, imagine that). He's in the Floof Squad too. His loneliness is different but its there

When you see a take that is objectively like. Rude and annoying, but it's also so clearly wrong that it just ends up being funny

was gonna wait til i finished act 2 before posting my nightsong thoughts but actually i want to get my first impressions out to see if they change but…currently i’m pretty disappointed by it because from an rp perspective i literally don’t see a single reason why the pc would let shadowheart kill the nightsong if they weren’t already allied with the absolute.

from a practical perspective your whole aim is to get rid of ketheric’s invulnerability - i guess killing the nightsong might achieve that purpose but to me at least the implication throughout the gauntlet is that if you kill the nightsong as part of the dark justiciar trial she doesn’t actually die. (never mind the fact that aylin seems far too important to both ketheric and shar for her to be sacrificed if an ordinary selûnite would do). obligatory disclaimer that i didn’t let shadowheart kill her so i don’t know what happens in that instance, but that doesn’t really matter in this case because i’m talking about how the choice is presented to you, and to me at least it did not seem like killing aylin would be in any way strategic.

in which case it’s not really a choice because a) practically you are strongly encouraged to let aylin go and b) morally your tav has to justify the murder of a defenceless woman for…what, shadowheart’s career goals? even if you’re romancing shadowheart (which i am) convincing her requires a straightforward persuasion check, the mechanics of which thus far have meant you convince her that your position is correct - there’s not much in the way of lasting relationship consequences in that she won’t get so mad at you she leaves the party because you’ve already convinced her you’re right.

all that is to say that i think this is reflective of bg3’s overall binary attitude towards its major choices - there’s a good route (save the grove, defend isobel, free aylin), and a bad route (destroy the grove, ally with marcus, kill aylin). a lot of those choices compound, as well - other people have talked from actual experience about how allying with minthara will lose you a huge amount of content and allies, thus railroading you into picking a side from both a narrative and gameplay perspective. you’ve a huge amount of freedom in how you go about achieving any of those things - stealth, persuasion, combat etc., but the objectives themselves are pretty static.

so when you then have a companion’s personal quest tied to intrinsically to the plot it negates a huge amount of player choice. thematically, the companion quests are binary because they can either break or perpetuate cycles of abuse - that’s an instance in which binary choices can be very compelling. but the thematic concerns of shadowheart’s very intricate and heartfelt personal quest are totally undercut by the necessities of a pretty straightforward choice. i can’t play a hands-off tav and let this be shadowheart’s decision without to all appearances letting ketheric win. this isn’t a truly grey choice like the decision to sacrifice isolde or go to the circle in dragon age origins. it feels like that’s what bg3 was trying to do here by combining shadowheart’s quest and the main narrative, but because that main narrative is actually relatively inflexible, it just means shadowheart’s quest suffers by comparison.
