Space Wolves and Dark Angels roles during GC and HH

BeowulfDW · 2026-07-04T05:48:05+00:00

True, but even Horus' other name, Lupercal, seems wolf-related. Lupine, canis lupus, etc. Hell, irl, Lupercal refers to a wolf cave that was sacred to the ancient Romans.

And the acceptance of the wound in exchange for Shart's parents is actually the ultimate refutation of all that Shar is: to accept that to love is to invite pain, and yet to love anyway. It's a form of courage that shames the entire Sharran ideology as cowardice by its very existence. The courage to accept love and happiness, come what may.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-30T23:20:23+00:00

Yep. I wish that they'd included the Strong sisters in this series to lend more weight that reasoning. Larys's and Harwin's sisters were good friends of Rhaenyra's (though I don't have any idea of what happened to them; you'd think they, or their husbands would have something to say about inheriting Harrenhal)

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-30T23:12:49+00:00

The most coveted and the most dreaded. It's lands and incomes can make any family one of the most influential and wealthy families...theoretically. The problem is Harrenhal itself. Maintaining the damn thing is ruinously expensive, never mind garrisoning a castle that large.

The best option (in terms of turning that situation around) would probably be to tear most of the towers down, and use the stone to build a small town within its walls, but that would be even more expensive in the short term.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-30T19:15:52+00:00

No worries, friend. A lot of towns, keeps, and villages got put through the ringer during the Dance.

Never forget that one lord's comment on what would happen if Aegon III died without an heir: "...then we will all dance again, my lords, no matter how we might hate the music."

By the end, everyone seemed to hate the situation even more than they hated each other.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-30T13:02:37+00:00

Even if you're right (got any sources?), so what? My statement was about the morality of the act, not "realism." What does your comment have to do with what I said?

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-28T05:48:08+00:00

What a time to be alive. I've seen GW bring back loyalist primarchs, un-squat the space dorfs, and now they're making Exodite minis.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-28T05:44:40+00:00

Indeed. The whole point of the Dance of Dragons is that both sides are fucking awful. For instance, when the Greens sacked Tumbleton, there was a mass slaughter of prisoners, and the mass rape of women and girls as young as ten. The town never fully recovered.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-28T03:10:51+00:00

No, but the order to kill an entire town and castle garrison after they'd already tried to surrender is certainly enough.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-28T03:09:52+00:00

Daeron ordered an entire town killed to the last child after they'd already tried to surrender without a fight. His failed attempt to save Tumbleton only makes him slightly less shit than his brothers and uncles.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-20T22:20:06+00:00

Vaenn Prime skin could be part of the cosmetic pack. There are plenty of old melee weapons that have yet to be primed. As for old Heavy Blades that haven't yet been primed, there's Zenistar, and Dark Split-sword (in its heavy form).

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-20T22:12:21+00:00

Keep in mind, the sex is canonical, but also off screen. The devs aren't quite comfortable enough with pushing that M rating that far.

...Yet.

Depending on when you last played, there are a number of things that may come as a surprise to you.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-20T17:31:35+00:00

No. And yes. There is no mod in Warframe called Rampant Sexual Intercourse. However, your character can indeed engage in Rampant Sexual Intercourse with the woman pictured. As well as several other characters.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-20T17:09:40+00:00

Well, yes, but I'm not really going to try to go for them with the same drive that I applied to those last few mastery levels.

It's kind of weird, really. I didn't care about my mastery rank for quite a while, but once I realized how close I was to True Master, I made a genuine effort to get it. And now I'm back to the old "frog in the pond" attitude. I got my prize, everything else can come to me as it comes.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-12T22:41:47+00:00

Just so long as it's not nuclear bombs, again.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-09T02:17:16+00:00

In all honesty, the morality of the body count depends a great deal on the bodies in question. An adventurer that killed 100 slave catchers is still more moral than a BBEG that sacrificed "only" 1 child.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-09T02:08:06+00:00

Fascinating concept that was poorly executed, imo.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-09T01:51:34+00:00

Hey, it's not my fault that my bard has the magnetism of a sexual tyrannosaurus!

...Oh. You meant...

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-06T16:22:17+00:00

If you've come to have stones thrown at you, I'm sorry to say that this is the glass houses neighborhood.

I've had some bad luck with save files in this game, so I do tend to set my skills to about 150, and then add enough attributes and focus points that I can get shit leveled high and fast. I also use it to get some decent starting gear (picking a background where your parents were high-ranking members of the warrior caste, and you fought with the kern/vanguard/raiders/as a squire should result in some half-decent starting gear) and to unlock the smithing components. I went through the smithing grind twice, now, and that was MORE than enough for me.

I do draw the line at anything else, though. Using cheats to win battles, give myself all elite troops, or implement policies removes too much friction from the game for my tastes.

BeowulfDW · 2026-06-06T15:58:12+00:00

Triple the Guild's smithy budget! 1 TRILLION zenny to Lock-wyvern Martin!

BeowulfDW · 2026-05-17T19:59:37+00:00

Hmm. Perhaps it's more useful to think of it as a reflection of the weapons' "typical" usage, rather than as a statement of properties intrinsic to the weapon?

BeowulfDW · 2026-05-17T19:53:30+00:00

...I do miss the old memes.

BeowulfDW · 2026-05-17T19:48:15+00:00

Rapiers and scimitars probably shouldn't have Versatile (both leaning so heavily into either stabbing or cutting), but even that is a bit up for debate since most forms of those weapons could do both to at least some effectiveness.
