melliwyk has pissed something off and pulled a retaliation attack that nearly kills her in, I think, every single boss fight we've ever done and I cannot emphasize enough how much I love that

I know I've already bitched about this but it's so frustrating that if it was just my glass cannon rogue, who was designed on purpose to get in over his head and be chewed up and spit out in combat, dying very badly over and over I'd be having fun

#it's... hard to articulate the difference but even in Very Hard fights that have looked like they were gonna go Very Badly #I have SO rarely felt out of character anger and frustration and dismay about combat in VW even when my own little guy is getting destroyed #even when it's hard and scary it rarely feels Just Unfair or Just Really Frustrating in a way that's not actually fun anymore #offhand I can think of ONE fight that was like '😐 well there's... nothing we can actually do here so... I guess I hope we don't fuckin die'#and like DMing is hard and combat balance is hard and I think every DM has made me feel like that at least once #but felix (and elyss)'s dm does it SO often and it's SO often like. 'here's a random encounter that means nothing just for fun :)'#'dying here would not only be really stupid and mean but it would also be completely meaningless :) ... oh no you're dying???'#AND IT'S FRUSTRATIIIING BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S HARD TO EXPRESS 'HEY MAN THIS FEELS MEAN' WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE I'M WHINING #BUT LIKE DUDE I *WANT* FELIX TO BE BLEEDING AND TREMBLING YOU JUST SUCK AT MAKING IT ACTUALLY FUN FOR ME AS THE PLAYER #AUUGHH #about me #my OCs #felix #melliwyk
