reckoning โ€“ a dissection

kcd2 has incredible quests from beginning to end, but reckoning has to be my favourite purely because of what it represents. it hasn't left my mind since i first played it, so I wanted to take a step back from my own feelings to share why I believe itโ€™s such a strong quest narratively and thematicallyโ€”as well as present defences for all three objectives and their outcomes rather than wave them off as bad writing or out of character behaviour.

(kcd2 spoilers under the cut. 2k words)

hey, so remember me saying i'd make a unique die reward for completing blasius' quest in KCD2 (if he was there)?

well, here it is. since i designed blasius as a cartographer with a proclivity for playing dice, i thought it would only be appropriate for his quest reward item to be gambling themed.

i also made a custom die display panel for it! it's a die with potential, but only if you roll it rightโ€”much like blasius. the reasoning behind the blue and gold is quite obvious, with the theme of the night sky and stars as tools of his trade, with the face of the 1 pip being replaced by the north star to guide your luck hopefully better than his.

wise words from blasius btw.

First post here and it might as well be of Radzig and Henry but as that one pic from the office
