Enjoy your stay

You can lead an angel to slaughter

BG3 is fun and a great game but i think ultimately falls short of what could've been a great narrative. individual character questlines MOST are pretty damn good and a lot of quest lines are good on their own but when you put everything together the narrative kind of falls apart

like im shocked there's no way for us to sympathize with or point out that most of the absolutists are straight up incredibly vulnerable people being manipulated by a mind-control-monster, with PLENTY of them quite literally having a worm in their head as mindflayer slaves

drow turning away from lolth to be "equal under the absolute" (dialogue from dead drow at waukeen's rest i think), regular people being pilgrims to moonrise (halflings at the creche and those recruits in moonrise) etc. it's like they built up this "faerun society is bad bad bad the gods suck ("copper coins in their pockets")" all falls apart by the end when the brain is dead, baldurs gate is saved and we're back to business as usual

and honestly it's not. entirely larian's fault. forgotten realms is a pretty rigid setting to be working with considering no matter what happens nothing really changes. gods die....but then they come back. yada yada. i could go on. if you know me you know that i really dislike a loooot of forgotten realms lore to the point i use it as a "what not to do" basis for my homebrew lol

like. yay okay we killed all the absolutists, the drow go back to the underdark to be enslaved under lolth again, the flaming fist (notoriously corrupt mercenaries) get a "second chance" under ravenguard,

IDK. I just get so sad at any sort of story that has mortals be at the mercy of greater powers no matter what :/

every time a man shaves his chest an angel loses its wings and then also dies

cant post the full thing...but i HAVE been drawing this past month, it's for a zine project! as much fun as i had with this, god. nothing felt better than submitting my final file and getting to close out of the tab on clip studio paint

how are people going to whine and moan about fromsoft games being "all the same' (they're not but i could write an essay on that) and then now that fromsoft is really trying some new stuff out with nightreign and duskbloods people are throwing tantrums over it being different....
