its really starting to bother me that theres so little to be done for karlach in act 3. like when you first meet dammon he seems so hopeful about finding a solution. he runs through a bunch of ideas and says he cant do anything with the tools he has but he'll keep looking. and then when you meet him in act 2 hes says he cant think of anything but he'll keep trying. and then in act 3?? all he says is that he cant find a solution. theres no way to ask him what research hes been doing. no way to try and do any research yourself.
karlach's companion quest basically ends in act 2. you get that second upgrade and it doesn't make a difference to the way her endings turn out. yeah you can touch her, but that's it. theres still only two 'good' endings for her character.
and it feels like theres so much we should be trying to do? the steel watchers are made of infernal iron. every single watcher has a piece of infernal iron you can collect. some of them even have enriched infernal iron. and apart from the armor dammon can make... there's nothing else to be done with those pieces? even the enriched infernal iron doesnt seem to serve a bigger purpose.
i feel like i should be able to talk to the gondian gnomes for help. they built the steel watchers, which are made of infernal iron and can blast hellfire at you. we can literally go to hell and theres no way to look around or ask about a solution. theres a magic tower with a locked vault and no way to look for magic to nullify/contain the heat.
also we cant talk to karlach about going to stay in the house of hope? i know one of the endings is that she can go to avernus with wyll but shouldn't we be able to suggest she can stay with hope? who's literally trying to make a place of hope in the middle of the hells? theres even portals in one of the rooms to a bunch of places. she could come and go as she pleases. we already have the means to visit if we want.
like i get it the whole point is that shes doomed from the start tragedy etc etc but it still sucks that we can't at least try to do more when it feels like theres so many ways we should be able to
#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#karlach#bg3#bg3 critical#i guess? if people want to avoid anything negative#im just kind of bummed i started romancing her on my first playthrough and discovered theres really only two endings where she doesnt die#and they both kind of suck#and got disheartened and haven't finished it#and im doing another playthrough where i skilled the grove stuff so she only has one upgrade and discovered that it doesn't change her end#at all#her companion quest basically ends in act 2. after that theres nothing to be done#also what does that first upgrade even do??? i know it makes her feel more powerful but does that actually change her stats???#why cant the first upgrade let me hug her#why cant the second upgrade stabilize her more#why is one of my fav companions so neglected in act 3 le sigh

da*2. is a game
#more thoughts below here be warned. i really enjoyed the introductory sequence and how it juxtaposed varric's dramatized version with the#real sequence of events. i also enjoy how they tied in lothering. imo id say the game has a really solid start. i also really enjoy the#visuals and stylistic direction of the game- i'd even go so far as to say i largely prefer it to inquisition (its just the oilyness LMFAO)#esp with the qunari and how they look.. less so with the proportions of the elves* (something that really irked me in inquisition is how#harold is forced to have the very clearly downscaled proportions while the elvish npcs (solas sera and basically every other elf#you interact with) dont have the slouched shoulders and very? crumpled looking frame). dont like that youre forced only to play as a human#though its very obvious that they were not given a reasonable amount of time to actually finish the game because OH MY GOD the reused#locations. the story was fairly solid at the start but the game is incredibly short (im in act 3 at the end of 2 days of playing) esp in#comp to origins. everything feels vaguely disconnected in a way thats uncharacteristic of bioware with the context of having played dao dai#and some of me1. and introducing the timeskips did Not help. i can see why people got absolutely attached to the companions however#with the system of friend + rival and it producing dichotomic benefits. rivalmances apparently existing also creates a really fun way of#interacting with your companions. i like anders#anyways completely unprompted thoughts on da2 over thank you for your time (i just needed somewhere to put them or i would go insane)

forever mad about how dirty they did aveline from act 2 onward
#thinking way too much abt it rn cus i just finished her quest today#she is important to liam and i enjoy their relationship a lot & also her character in general in the earlier acts#but MAN i hate what they did to her in acts 2 and 3#laya plays dragon age#feels like there is such a disconnect from her attitude between acts 1 and 2?#or well. maybe not disconnect exactly but even so there is an important shift there and we never even get to see it OR question it#she could have been such a good contribution to the story and the themes by putting her at a crossroads of#do i keep following what i know and become another cog in the system or do i challenge them and break out of it#cus like. in act 1 she is not above going against laws when her own morals (or even just biases) go against them#but is generally still in favor of ''regular'' law and order (which does get challenged by characters sometimes which is nice!)#(sort of) blind loyalty is already a fault of hers and now her loyalty is understandably mostly towards her guards#but then her companion quest is not in fact about herself but about frickin. courting the guy she likes???????#full on i thought this was a silly quest for levity in an act that has a lot of dark moments#but no it is Her Important Quest TM and not only does she not get with him if you dont do the quest#but her entire attitude and happiness going forward depends on it????? what the hell#also fun fact first time playing act 2 i thought that there was a lot going over my head and like#and some of it did yeah but i also just Assumed that bc the way aveline acted/ the guards actions were presented through her#didnt line up with what actually happened#(& her being so defensive and dismissive didnt line up with the impression i got of her before that)#sorry for the rant im just once again mad about cool characters being screwed over by the writing

Yo what’s your opinion on Solas from Dragon Age? I swear if I see his scalp one more time in a trailer…
LOL? i love this question
to be completely honest, i'm pretty indifferent towards solas. i don't like his romance, but i do think he has some interesting interactions, he has potential, and i don't hate him like, as a character.... but i DO agree, i am very tired of bioware doing nothing but showing us solas for the last *checks watch* seven years. we get it the game is literally called dreadwolf. i would like to see any other character or maybe even perhaps gameplay, please
also i honestly do not like inquisition and i'm pretty indifferent overall towards dragon age now, i probably won't be playing unless it finally comes out and like, blows everyone's socks off. i'm very much over playing mediocre and/or broken games for $70 at this point... maybe i'll fish it out of the bargain bin eventually.
i wish solas had been the villain in inquisition, corypheus sucked and i think it would have been more satisfying both for solas's arc but also to have the inquisitor's story fully wrapped up in that game rather than having (assuming there will be a new protag) someone else come in and finish it.
i honestly have no idea if they're going to do the origins in this game, part of me says 100% yes because that's what everyone plays these games for lol but also it's just.... to ME, from a storytelling perspective, Does Not make sense to bring someone else in, when solas is so closely tied to the inquisitor and that emotional impact is already there. but if they do, then the only option is the inquisitor gets banished into the void like the warden or we get another super ooc moment like with hawke, along with an annoying forced emotional moment that only the player cares about (like choosing between hawke and alistair, while the inquisitor just stands there 🧍) which none of that is appealing but especially with solas being so important to the story it's just disappointing.
but who knows what they're planning... not us, since all they keep doing is flashing that annoying man's bald ass head
#im a pretty casual dragon age enjoyer at this point#ive replayed origins and 2 a lot but i only ever got thru inquisition once and. it's not my favorite lmfao#kinda killed any interest i had#that and the rancid fandom#like im very casual. i just play the games and have fun i don't read all the lore and i dont go out of my way to#just sayin but your game's lore should all be accessible... in the game...#anyways i feel like dreadwolf is the second act of inquisition that they Wanted to be a part of that game#but due to EA being the way that they are and bad labor practices all around they never got to finish#and god only knows what's going on over there now...#ask#anonymous

No one asked for my thoughts on imaginarium theater but im giving them anyway.
I find it so weird how ppl have been begging for end game content outside of the abyss for 3 years now but when mhy releases a game mode that:
-incentives you to build more characters outside of ur main 2 teams for spiral abyss
- restricts u in a way that challenges u to use teams that are outside the meta
- makes it so you are forced to think strategically about who you use and when and work with what you are given
Instead of seeing it as a fun new challenge to work through they just complain that its? Too hard…?
Like if you just want a game mode to flex ur core teams the spiral abyss already exists…
#fuzzy rambles#anyway i had a lot of fun#like yea i had to retry some acts like 5 times lol but it was a fun challenge unlike spiral abyss#also the idea its impossible to clear if ur f2p. its not… im f2p and i got 8/9 stars… AND I COULD HAVE GOTTEN 9/9 BUT I THOUGHT-#Ur characters dont even have to be built that well. as long as they have somewhat decent artifacts and an ok weapon ull be fine#like it is a challenge (unless ur a whale lol) but its not impossible#plus u dont need stars for rewards u literally just have to finish it#which is way more niceys to u than that bastard spiral abyss floor 12#plus idk as u play you just. build characters. of the characters i used in this game mode only like 2 or 4 where characters i use regularly#its not that bad. just build ur 4 stars. it does not take that long and most of them use sets ull already have extra of#most of the challenge is just getting rotations of teams u never play down and learning enemy attack patterns#i got to pull out razor after 3 years of not using him (he use to be my main) and he did so well… my little baby 5ever#idk. i played l*mbus c*mpany dungeons so this was not as grueling#and i enjoyed l*mbus c*mpany dungeons… i really miss my ex..

I KNOW shadowheart has so much content and so many cutscenes but it makes me insane that the two times Shar mind tortures her it happens during FAST TRAVELING and OFF SCREEN, I feel like those two events were IMPORTANT
#bg3#bg3 act 3 spoilers#for full context#im talking about when you leave the temple of Shar in act 2#and shadowheart is just numb and deadpan says Shar gave her 1000 years amount of pain#and in act 3 when you finish her quest and she talks about how shar has given her back only the bad memories from her past#LIKE#WHY ARE THESE OFF SCREEN EVENTS#WHY CANT I HOLD HER#losing my mind let me HUG HERRRR

see the problem with all of the puzzles in bg3 is like. sometimes the player (me) is stupid. and at least in a real dnd game you might get the dm to take pity on you
#the number of ‘’walkthroughs’’ that i’ve found that don’t actually. help#they tell you the map coordinates or whatever. what about if i cannot physically find what you’re talking about AT THOSE COORDINATES#or cannot figure out how to get to those coordinates (like when i spent three days trying to find karlach)#i’m in hell. actually still having a very hard time getting invested and like. not rly enjoying this game lmao#I AM PLAYING ON EXPLORER MODE AND SOMEONE GOES DOWN IN ALMOST EVERY COMBAT#also just. open world syndrome a little bit#too many quests that apparently i can’t actually move forward in yet. and too much open space#making me feel like. i need to go explore and grind when i just want to finish the quests i already have good lord#idrc about exploring every corner of the map. at this point???#tried going into the mountain pass and it was like ‘hey you’re really low level. reconsider <3’ and im like#literally WHAT is there to do for me here#(it wanted me to go to the underdark. which i figured would progress the story so i was trying to find lae’zel’s crèche while we’re here??)#also on a non gameplay note#inSANE that all of the questlog items for daughter of darkness list her and i having interactions that We Did Not#got to act 2 and she’s like ‘hey i worship shar btw. this is supposed to be a reveal’ but like. the quest log told me that immediately??#was i not supposed to read that?? she never told me that she wanted to join the justiciars. i never gave her the idol.#but it said all of those happened???#maybe i’m biased bc my first save was trying to play as her but it REALLY feels like they’re pushing her to be the main character#like. kinda sucks how she’s the only companion you can check in with and say ‘how do you think we’re doing’#and these fucking controls#why are the items hit boxes so weird. my cursor is a centimeter away and yet it still highlights something#the label isn’t actually next to the thing it’s describing so holding the alt key does nothing to show me where it is#god forbid you try to point at something through an open door#the fucking. camera angles. impossible to see what i’m doing or where i’m going because the trees and walls and shit keep getting in the way#straight up not having a good time#but this was a lot of money and i’ve heard it picks up#when tho#also the fact that i rly like wyll and he’s got like. nothing. id heard he has less content than other origins but#didn’t realize it was to a noticeable extent#maybe it’ll pick up and give him more to talk about once i save his dad. please god

Well, I think I have to abandon my durge run and start a new one. I somehow triggered Wyll's dance scene (again in a different playthrough) and I was not intending to have this character romance him and I cannot look at that rejection face again. I took psychic damage the first time 😭
(yes I stopped before interacting with it, booted up my Karlach origin run and continued on with that one where I intend to have her romance Wyll... I have too many playthroughs in their baby stages)
#gem rambles#i dont even know how i did it#i havent had him up like at all this playthrough#tho everyone but him wanted a piece of this durge at the teifling party#(which is weird because i really only had gale astarion and karlach up (very breifly Lae'zel up in karlachs place))#this playthrough was just me seeing what happened if i got astarion to 100 approval because i havent had it that high before#somehow i have his and gales currently at 100 and karlachs is decently high as well#and this is still a good run btw#we KOed alfira so shed be alive#durge got away with murdering the dragonborn bard#we took out the goblin camp#and i still have nearly 100 approval with astarion into act 2 (as well as gale and Karlach's catching up)#idk what im doing this run tbh. it was kinda a 'i finished the game once time to play more unhinged' moment#bg3#baldur's gate 3#bg3 spoilers

do you guys think, before the slow decline of the witcher population, that some of them were resentful or at least mocking toward geralt.
bcuz imagine if you had a classmate who started out a horse kid and then did so well in the first courses that he did some more, and now he’s enhanced above the rest of the school... i'd be like wow well aren’t you special...
#obvi once they grow older there's no room for resentment among a dying breed but just think abt how they acted at the high school age#i'm almost finished my witcher books reread and i just arrived at blood and wine#in the witcher 3 game#after completing the main story and all side quests and quesion marks#im knee deep in the witcher content lmoa#yelling into the void#for those of you who haven't read the books or seen it in fanfiction already:#canonically geralt is the only one who went through further mutations experiments by the mages and survived#the witcher#the wild hunt#tw3#tower of swallows#is the book i'm on but this post has nothing to do with it#that part was mentioned in book 2 or something#geralt of rivia
