#or replay pillars of eternity

[swimming-karyss]

omg Ace hiiii

honestly watching the anime with the knowledge of the manga kinda makes me sympathize with Cassandra. I've been dreading the upcoming tragedy ever since the strawhats entered Grandline...

girl, you have hundreds of episodes ahead of you, just enjoy the adventures, dammit!

[lae-zels]

The one you gravitate towards the first time playing any cRPGs. Included Pillars of Eternity races and Divinity Original Sin ones.

doing an portrait of my pillars of eternity character to use in-game. which is also why hes so small lol. couldnt decide on whether the extra shading made him look worse so. have two of him

[asterroses]

more ppl need to play pillars of eternity tbh . it truly is a game of all time and a very excellent one at that

So my party finally got big enough to send someone to sit in Caed Nua.

The problem is that person is Durance. So now my Watcher is basically represented by Durance. Every supplicant who needs something gets Durance to solve their problem.

How am I not getting negative prestige for that.

observations about Devil's metal body that make me feel normal

it's ornate. there are vine/floral patterns. there are alternating colors of metal. purely aesthetic things that Galvino didn't have to put there but still did

she has fingernails (mentioned in a voice line) and sculpted realistic ears

her face is a solid mask

her face is a solid mask

literally I think the only range of facial expression she has is by moving her eyes???

you went to the trouble of engraving decorative patterns and sculpting ears and fingernails but you didn't bother with facial expressions. and why would you. if your main priority is making this body aesthetically pleasing rather than convenient to live in

Galvino I just want to talk

This is a battle between buff bisexual disasters! One is Halsin, a wise polygamous druid who is definitely fond of everything nature has to offer vs Tekehu, who is definitely also very fond of everything nature has to offer! And he will jump into your arms at any occasion!

Whenever I see posts saying Pillars of Eternity would be better without Durance I just cannot relate man. Do I think he’s horrible, unpleasant, nasty to be around? Yes! Do I ALSO think he is so central to the emotional core of the story, with an arc and writing and a performance that blows everything else out of the water? Fucking YES.

I won’t say what bit because spoilers and I know people are playing for the first time but there is a point in his arc that came together so perfectly to me that it’s probably my core memory of that game.

pallegina for the asks :-)

thank you!!

How I feel about this character

oh i love her so much. as soon as i met her in the game i knew i'd love her- she's got such a cool design and such a good VA, and she was one of my favorite characters to get to know.

and she's such an interesting flavor of paladin- fueled by loyalty to her order and her country, when it's clear that her order and country don't really appreciate her or treat her how she deserves, and she even knows that but still holds fast to her values...she's got a lot of layers, and i just love her!

All the people I ship romantically with this character

i really like her vibes with Maneha- i'm a sucker for 'opposite attract' relationships, and they hit that well! i do see it as more of a short-lived fling than a long-term relationship, especially if Pallegina stays in her order, but it's still a great dyamic!

My non-romantic OTP for this character

i feel like saying Desta is kinda cheating, but i do love their friendship- they bond over being paladins who hate the gods, especially their godly 'parents', and in my dream world where her Kind Wayfarer ending was treated like real canon, Desta is the one who introduced her to the order

she also has some cute banters with Kana, iirc? it's been too long since i've played through the whole first game, but i remember liking having them in the party together

My unpopular opinion about this character

i am...not a fan of the Deadfire character writing in general, and i think her writing in that game was weak. i actually appreciate her personal quest, but all her stuff with the Vailian republics felt...off. i mean, her personal quest in PoE1 was all about whether to go against her country's orders based on her own beliefs, and that never comes up again? i'm not even saying i want her to be less loyal (like i said, i like the layers!) it's just weird that such a big character moment never comes up when she's once again getting shady orders from her superiors

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

acknowledge that she was a Kind Wayfarer in my worldstate, deadfire! acknowledge it!!

(seriously though. i'm still so disappointed that her ending in PoE 1 had pretty much no effect on her character in Deadfire despite how vastly different her endings could be.)

GIVE ME A CHARACTER and I’ll break their ass down!

Obsidian really created the companion™ of all time but then also made him unkissable.

[layalu]

OKAY YEAH THEY WEREN'T KIDDING ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES

[dyrrn]

i wish i could enjoy da:tv but it's just... bad. in a lot of ways. i'm not going to go on a whole hater rant but how the hell is anyone giving this a 10/10? it's 4/10 for me at absolute best

[sun-marie]

Also I didn't realize until this morning that even though I've now finished both games, I never actually played The White March. I started Durgan's Battery but then got distracted by the main quest and forgot to finish it 😅

[quinttyz]

guess who’s back
