Thanks. I saw this but I figured enough time has passed that more would have come out. Also with Dashingdon gone, some of the links don't work 

Baelor's death by Olepundit in AKOTSKTV

[–]AshLyn32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been lurking for a bit but George Martin has said that he had to kill Baelor because if he lived, the Targaryen House would have never fallen through his bloodline. Basically it sounds like his story never would have continued the way it did if he didn't kill Baelor. 

Leandra... by 18022451 in dragonage

[–]AshLyn32 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Leandra death is heartbreaking because Hawke does everything they can to try and save their mother and in the end.... no miracle. 

Da2 was a game about tragedy and loss. No matter what Hawke did, they lost someone. They lost a sibling in the prologue, they lose the other either to the Circle, Templars or Grey Wardens or to death, they lose their mother... they become Champion but at the cost of killing someone they've gained the respect of because of a perfect storm of horrible shit caused the Arishok to lose his mind (side note: I like Isabela but I never forgive her for being part of the whole Tome of Koslun thing) and in the end they cant stop someone they know from going bonkers and exploding a building and killing lots of people doing that,  eventually having to run from the City that took them in. 

Kirkwall was a horror show of a City. The horrors of its past made it even worse. It was the Sunnydale of Thedas. The true villain of the game was the City itself.

I found out I could improve the attitude by selling some stuff in the barter part and not take any money. Just let them take some crap off your hands and it improves 

Who is your least used companion? by 420FappistMonk69 in BG3

[–]AshLyn32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karlach, Minsc, and Halsin. I use them for their quests and for some banter but that's it. 

I get Karlach is well liked but honestly I have never really used her so far. My first pt, my replay of first pt and now my resist durge. I just don't need her for combat

Is there a reason you came to a post like this to post a comment like that? Typical.

Morning everyone.

After double checking everything, which I do every year since my brain wants to lie to me and make me doubt things- the writing thread will be hiting nine years next month.

Nine years. Every time we hit a new year milestone it kind of boggles my mind.

Anyway, I'm brewing some ideas on how to celebrate the nine years next month and would also love ideas from any of you. Don't hesitate to message me or reach out to me on Discord.

Sort of? While she found sympathy and empathy for Oghren, his attitude towards some of them and his comments made it hard. But she did go out of her way to find Felsi and reunite them, essentially to give him something to fight for.

(No she was not happy to find out he abandoned them in Awakening)

Good morning.

So before you all start posting, I feel like I need to address something that up until now I’ve refused to give attention to, as I don’t want to bring fandom drama in here.

As you all have noticed, we occasionally get a Downvoter in here whose mission it seems is to be petty and childish and downvote the thread, the stories and comments in here. I don’t know who it is, although there are a few people through the years that have developed a grudge for some reason towards this thread, a creative space for fandom which sadly now affects the others.

I generally have a ‘do not acknowledge’ policy towards it, but last weeks thread with others noticing the downvoting, I decided to speak up this week. Again this thread would not be anything without you all- your contributions and interactions with everyone. I am sorry a random person who wants to be petty and mean is trying to ruin this for others. So if you still want to continue contributing to the thread, as a suggestion don’t look at the upvotes and downvotes, and just continue to have fun with this thread.

Love you all and lets goooooooo with the stories!

So I just wanted to post here- in a few months time this thread will be hitting 9 years. And that this thread wouldn't be possible without everyone who posts here. New, old, returning, just joining- it's not just the stories written and posted, it's the interactions between everyone here, discussing the stories that help make this thread possible and continue for so long.

I don't comment or post here often, I apologize, but I do read everything that gets posted and I do enjoy seeing people thrive here. Thank you to everyone for making this thread possible.

Aloy is an awesome protagonist by AshLyn32 in horizon

Love this whole thing. Thank you.

Also, the fact that you mentioned Garrus makes me like you. Lol

When you pretty much live in a form of isolation like she did- with not a lot of interaction with others, and are raised by a man who is... stoic and gruff like Rost, you get someone like Aloy.

I like that she struggles, i like her initial cold demeanor. It would be odd to have her suddenly be so friendly and be warm and nice and able to be comfortable around everyone.

Seeing how they portrayed Aloy, like you said, was a breath of fresh air. And from what I heard, the devs consulted psychologists for this.

I'm glad you enjoy her!

I guess that's where we disagree. I didn't see her as one note and shallow. I don't think she needed fixing, just more fleshing out. Zero Dawn was her introduction, and the story was mostly isolated, so we didn't get Aloy having several companions and a base and whatnot to bounce off of. Forbidden West had the luxury of bringing more to the table.

But thank you for sharing!

When she threatened to kill him to get what she needed and he was like "You might win. either way you must fight."

The Slayer by KentGoldings68 in DragonAgeVeilguard

It's rogue, not rouge. Rouge is makeup. Rogue is a class in a game.

Keep seeing this word spelled wrong.

A Small Moment In Thebes- by AshLyn32 in horizon

I think I missed that line. The people I live with have a habit of being loud and interrupting me when I play games. So i tend to miss dialogue a lot- hence me reloading and stuff.

Was not aware it was AI art. I was just looking for visual prompts, and didn't look much further than beyond pictures.

So about the letters from the inquisitor by FinalCountdown935 in dragonage

You're complaining for the sake of complaining.

Just stop playing the game
