I love videos essays bc it’s like. huh I had feelings on that but thank you for putting it into deeper words and coherent feelings
#I always felt kinda. hesitant about the emperor as a player#I knew the twist but the greater impact of that twist#the pressuring to take the tadpole and the like didn’t sit well with me#but it’s like. listening to the video essay and thinking back on the game#and it’s like. yeah the emperor is……yeah#the player character is just a chess piece. the means to an end. a toy to manipulate#to see whatever the ambition is to the end#another thing I do love a good fantasy setting that has deities within it that are just as much god as they are reflections upon humanity#from the good to the terrible#it tickles my fancy#I also love the subtle narrative going on w selûne#she didn’t save shadowheart from shar. she didn’t save kethric from shar#she’s as much about shuffling mortals around like a chess board as her sister#yes it’s true that shadowheart came out of her quest as a stronger person. but was the suffering worth it?#was the suffering of her daughter Aylin worth it? what did it serve?#I like. thinking about fictional deities#it feels very pillars of eternity which I utterly adore the deities in that setting#god what a baller pantheon pillars of eternity has#owen talks
