#i was genuinely going to go through the first run totally vanilla and then mod later but with things as they are right now

[yharnamesque]

Going to be honest

Most of my playthrough so far has been "this is pretty interesting! BUT-" with the world's biggest asterisk next to it

Like got damng............the things unavailable in this game that DAO did perfectly fine all those years ago............

Honestly my main goal while playing BG3 is going to see if there is ANYONE at all, a whole single individual, who will decide it is worth putting up with me as their little cringe wife

Hello! I am here to please ask for a crash course on Vault Hunters! I watched HBomb's stream mid season 1, was confused, then I watched Pete's first episode and I was very confused and gave up. But I would love to watch hbomb and pete's streams so understanding vault hunters would be so good. - cat

CRACKS MY KNUCKLES. LADIES AND GENTS THIS IS THE MOMENT YOU'VE WAITED FOR.

vault hunters is an smp created by iskall hermitcraft<3 and his dev team! vault hunters is a custom mod pack including several custom mods as well as mods you may recognize if you've been into the mcyt/minecraft mod scene for a while (mechanism, biomes o'plenty, create, etc)

the goal of vault hunters is to collect a certain number of unique artifacts- last season it was 16, this season it's 25. artifacts are a rare drop that you get from killing a boss at the end of a vault. a vault is a custom dimension that creates a randomly generated labyrinth that the player has to go through. the vaults have chests/loot, multiple rare ores, and monsters protecting them. when a vault is created, it spawns about 10 obelisks total (grey pillars in the middle of the room), and a player has to find anywhere between 3 to 6 of them to spawn the boss and defeat it. once you enter a vault, if you die you lose everything you have on you with no chance of recovering it, and the only way to escape is to kill the boss or to leave the way you came through the portal (but sometimes the vaults are locked and you CANT leave)

the vault custom mods create lots of custom items to help with the vaults, such as more powerful magical apples (they can give haste, complete immunity to all damage, a higher chance of deflecting damage, and even more luck!), vault gear (which is the armor that everyone wears- its custom textures, and its stronger than vanilla OR modded armor. it can also "level" and get attributes that make it stronger, such as more armor, more durability, and special modifications like slow falling or resistance), and other miscellaneous things to help the hunters.

the vault custom mods also generates rare ores that are vault gems. these gems glow brightly, and each hunter has one named after them (in season one, hbomb and antonio ash didn't have gems named after them, but rendog did, even after he dropped out and was unable to keep playing <3). these rare gems are important to create many of the custom vault items, AND because many modded recipes have been altered to be more expensive and to include these rare gems.

mods are locked behind research as well, so a player has to save up "knowledge points" (a very rare and expensive item) in order to be able to use certain mods, which means that some players can do things that others cant with certain mods. certain items from mods you may recognize may have been removed, or made more expensive with custom ingredients so the player is forced to work and save up to get powerful items.

there is also the concept of leveling- vault hunters is a viewer interaction based game. every time a viewer supports their streamer with a sub, a resub, bits of any amount, a sub gift of any amount, or a donation, this triggers an amount of leveling to the in game level counter. the larger the contribution, the larger the level up. after a certain amount of support, the player reaches a new skill level. every skill level increase, the vaults become harder (the mobs will receive more armor, better weapons, and more difficult mobs like skeletons and vindicators are added to the spawn pool) and the player receives a "skill point" they can use to unlock certain attributes to help in the vault, such as more hearts, permanent strength increases, permanent luck increases, and other miscellaneous helpful things.

(IMPORTANT: YOU CAN STILL AFFECT LEVELING WITHOUT MONEY! no this isn't a plug for twitch prime. saving up channel points to redeem a relic booster pack will help the player level up AND get items! its a two for one! pay your taxes!)

these are the core aspects of vault hunters, imo- everything else that can seem complicated stems from the concepts of running vaults, the mods that are installed, the mods that have been altered, and the reason viewer interaction is important. vault hunters is also on a time limit- there are only a few months in order to get all of the artifacts! thats why pete and hbomb stream it basically every day (especially pete, since he joined a month late to the smp... also because its a really fun game lmao)

iskall's dev team and iskall himself worked really hard on vault hunters, and it's genuinely my favorite smp/source of mcyt content. if you ever have a question dm me i will literally give you my discord and i will infodump at you for as long as you will let me.

tldr; the point of vault hunters is to run custom dungeons in order to fight bosses and get lots of shiny loot in order to do it over and over again, so they can collect all of the rare artifacts and win the game. its very good you should watch it.

Could you do something where MC is swedish? (I'm swedish and I don't see much about it regarding MM ^^)

Hello there! Our former Mod Yoo did this ask and she sent me her responce to this ask. ~Madre Mod

Hej! Louise. Tack! For your ask. You’re absolutely right, I have to confess that I’m not familiar with Swedish culture other than the fact that I love going to IKEA for some very mystical reasons so I’ve done some very simple research before writing this answer, I hope you’ll like it. Do let me know if there’s anything to improve. Love, Mod Yoo.Here’s a little something for MM Characters x Swedish Fem!MC. Inclusive of a random favourite food canon for each pair, from MC’s home country.

Yoo-sung Kim 

- His attention was drawn to MC in the lobby of his campus, she wasn’t smiling a whole lot. 

- Doesn’t stop him from thinking that she looks totally stunning. 

- He wanted to talk to her so badly but is worried that he’d scare her off. 

- Got to know from some of his university peers that she’s an exchange student from Sweden. 

- Realises that he knows nothing about her birth country. 

- He finally mustered enough courage to go up to her and said hi. 

- “Hi, My name is Yoo-sung Kim, I’m a final year student here. I heard that you’re on a student exchange program. I hope you’ve made yourself comfortable around here. You can talk to me if you need any help,” 

- Before she could say anything, he excused himself and paced away quickly trying to cool down his searing hot cheeks.

 - It took her awhile to approach him again, his patience was running out. “Was I too eager? Have I scared her off? Maybe she’s just not interested…” Random thoughts like these kept flashing across his mind.

 - “Hi, you’re Yoo-sung, right? The one who spoke to me in the students’ hall and left in a hurry.” He turned around to find her across him along the corridor. 

- He swore he could feel all his blood rise to his cheeks again. “Yes, that’s me. How can I assist you today?” 

- To her, he seemed genially shy, kind and helpful, so she decides to trust him. 

- “I don’t need anything particular, thank you. Perhaps, would you like to Fika after classes later?”

- “F-fika?” Suddenly he remembers about his research. “O-of course, I’d love to.” 

- That was the start of a beautiful friendship. This pair enjoys Kanelbullar (Cinnamon Rolls), Kottbullar med brunsas (Meatballs in Cream Sauce) and Vasterbottenpaj (Cheese Pie)

Zen a.k.a. Hyun-ryu 

- The moment he saw her at one of his musical practice, he thought she’s beautiful. In fact, she’s more beautiful than himself to him. 

- “Hey Min-soo ya.” He called out to one of his production crew. “Who’s the little lady in a grey sweater? I’ve never seen her before.” 

- “Oh! You mean MC. She just arrived this morning. Heard from Mr Director that she’s an intern who’ll be helping us to prepare for the performance.” 

- “Ah, where’s she from?” He asked. “Sweden. If I remembered correctly.” 

- He grabbed an extra bottle of water and walks up to MC. 

- “Hi MC, it’s your first day today. I’m Zen, one of the actor in this performance.” He beamed and continued “May I know the major of your studies?” 

- MC was caught off guard by him towering over her. He’s so fair… Good looking, too. 

- “Oh. Uh. Yea. Fine Arts.” Is what she managed to utter, looking down at her shoes. She hoped that he hadn’t notice the dusting of pink over her cheeks. 

- He was alotwhoyoukiddingzen a little disappointed sensing the indifference in her reaction, but shook it off and handed her the water bottle nonetheless. 

- “Oh. Okay, sure. Keep yourself hydrated and take care, I’m just gonna go and resume practice.” Slowly withdrawing his steps from her and goes back on stage. 

- Practice for the day has finally come to an end. He was packing up when he heard someone say something. 

- “Hello. My name is MC, the girl from earlier.” He was surprised, “Of course, MC. Is there anything you need? I hope your day went well.” 

- “I’m good, thanks. I apologise that I sounded aloof earlier, I don’t do well in front of new people. I’ve watched you practice and wondered… If you could explain this part of the music and facial expression to me?” 

- He scrunched his face funny and sang a few verse.- His grin got wider as she snorts and chuckled. 

- “You know what? Come on, let’s go to Hemlagat idontknowhowhefoundit, I heard they’re famous in Seoul. I haven’t tried Swedish food before, I’m starving. Care to join me for dinner? My treat.” He asked, hopeful that she’d agree. 

- “No.” His heart sank. “I’ll go with you only if I’m paying for my own share.” 

- They had a great time at dinner, sharing the same passion for fine arts. Deep down, they hoped to see more of each other in the future. This pair enjoys Gubbrora (Egg Salad with Anchovies), Kladdkaka (Sticky Chocolate Cake) and Spenatsoppa med agg (Spinach Soup with Soft-boiled Egg & Horseradish)

 Jae-hee Kang 

- “Mr Han. Please tell me that you’re joking. This is her first time in Korea.”- “I’ve personally gone through her resume, it’s quite impressive. She’ll make a good assistant for you. It’s final. You’ll expect her here in an hour.” 

- She’d known that it’s impossible to change her boss’s decision to hire her a Swedish assistant. “What is he thinking! How long am I expected to train her…” 

- “Good morning, Ms Kang?” Her chain of thoughts broken at the greeting. 

- “Yes. I’m Jae-hee Kang, Chief Secretary for the Executive Director. I assume you’re MC?” She said as a matter-of-factly as possible, trying to stay calm. 

- “You’re right. I understand your concern about my lack of local working experience in this country. I can assure you, that you’ll not be disappointed.” 

- “Ah, that’s good to know. Thank you.” She’s genuinely amused by MC’s professional attitude. Things doesn’t look as dull as it seemed before. 

- As she spends months down the road having MC as her assistant, her workload has been delegated and more effectively completed. 

- She respects that MC is humble, a vigorous planner, independent, and doesn’t let her emotions affect work. 

- They’ve since became such good friends, to which she’s very grateful of.- She holds very high hopes for MC to have a bright future in C&R, and is determined to groom MC to take her own place in case if anything happens to herself. 

- Both of them loves coffee so much that they’d almost always spend their free time cafe hopping around town.This pair enjoys Lingonparfait (Lingonberry Parfait), Flugande jakob (Baked Chicken with Bananas and Peanuts) and Jordgubbar med mjolkoch socker (Strawberries with Milk and Sugar).

Ju-min Han

 - He met one of the most beautiful woman he’s ever come across in C&R’s annual business forum. 

- He’s never seen someone so graceful with her every gesture. 

- Despite having dealt with many kinds of people from the opposite gender. 

- For the first time, he could feel that she’s different from the others. 

 - His confidence to approach her slowly ebb away.

 - He stood deep in thoughts while waiting for his wine to be refilled. 

- Only to have his mind yanked open on a soft voice “Mr Han, Jumin?” 

- There she was right in front of him, both hands holding a glass of wine. 

- “I noticed that you needed to focus on something in your head so I took the honour to…” 

 - Before she could complete her sentence, he’d already have one of the glass in his hands. 

- “My apologies, I’ve had a small moment of absent-mindedness there. I shouldn’t have let such a special person like you be looking out for me.” He barely managed to cover up the stammers in his own voice. juminhannostammers. 

- She lightly chuckled as she passed him a piece of note. In the most soothing voice she said “It’s been my honour. I’ve to excuse myself to another event with my colleague, take care.” before stepping away. 

- When she’s finally disappeared from his sight, he opened her note that reads, “No matter what you’re thinking, never forget that you’re special. Everything is going to be okay. I’d like to see you again if it’s okay with you… There’s a (name of Swedish restaurant) beside my hotel, where we can meet at 8 p.m. tomorrow evening, before my flight home the next day.” 

- He then takes a sip of wine, his eyes widen when he noticed a perfectly full lipstick stain, a small smile and blush immediately crept on his face as her message flashes across his mind again.This pair enjoys Inkokta Paron (Poached Pears with cinnamon, vanilla and whipped cream), Biff Ryberg (Beef Ryberg), and Gravad Lax Med Potatissallad (Cured Salmon with potato salad).

Saeyoung Choi 

- This secret agent was on a mission in Sweden when he spotted an angel.

- He was lying in ambush from a target.

- There was a crying little girl who stood by the side of the road across him. 

- It was then when he saw his angel walked up towards the crying child, gently taking the child’s hand and started having small pep talks. 

- Her attempt to soothe the child was more than miraculous. 

- All he sees are now smiles and nods. 

- He swore his heart had halted as his sight shifted to the suspect exiting the building behind them, and he.had.a.weapon. 

- Decided it was too risky to take the shot, he leaped out from hiding and attempted to subdue his target away from possibly harming his angel and the child. 

- Despite receiving some bruises and cuts, he manage to pin the man down in waiting for the authorities to arrive. 

- The child’s parents was also notified and they came to pick them up. 

- After all the commotion when everything seems to be settling back to normal, “Well… Hello to my stranger-knight-in-shining-armour…” omgdidanangeljustspoke “The name’s 707, o-or you can call me Luciel, I’m sure you’ve been frightened earlier but I’m glad that no one’s hurt.” 

- “That’s all thanks to you, Luciel… You look like no one from around the area. If you don’t mind, I’d like to invite you to my place, where your injuries can be tend to and you can catch some rest too. As a bonus, my parents are great cooks.” 

- “Sounds like a wonderful idea.” Saeyoung says as he contemplates in his mind. He’ll leave at dawn and before anyone realises and he’ll never see her again. 

- He quietly exits the back door after leaving her family a thank you note. He’s never felt this sad in a long time.

- To his greater surprise, he found a small handmade pouch in his bag containing all the med supplies she used to treat him and a piece of blank paper. “Wha..?” 

- His tears flowing when the handwritten message appeared on the paper before his lighter. 

- “I don’t know anything about you, except your name; but I’ve got an inkling. Please take care of yourself and be safe in everything you do, in my heart I’ll always keep you. I know you’ll come back for me one day.” idiedheretooThis pair enjoys Shu Sorters Kakor (7 kinds of cookies), Raggmunk Med Rimmat Sidflask (Potato Pancakes with bacon and Lingonberry jam), and Janssons Frestelse (Jansson’s Temptation).
