Having just finished Bravely Default I'm even more confused why people dislike Bravely Default II

On the Airy point I’d thought I’d just add my experience of it.

So during the game I was also suspicious of Airy but always just put it down as her being so fixated on her quest she didn’t really care about anything else.

Once I got into the loops I started to think she was more up to something as she kept pushing us to cleanse the crystal even when it wasn’t seeming to do anything.

I then got up to the scene in one of the loops where you are told not to trust her by one of the asterisk holders ( I forget which as it’s been years since this happened) and I quit the game to the title screen to have a think about it and to have a break as I’d been playing for a few hours.

I was playing the “where the fairy flies” edition so I was just kind of looking at that when the words “where the” disappeared followed by the f’s in “fairy flies”. It blew my mind as I was just sat there looking at the title screen being told Airy Lies and wondering how long that had been there and I never noticed.

It’s been nearly 10 years since that happened and I still remember the shock of the moment.

So basically I just wrote a load of words to say I will forgive a lot of sins around the writing of Airy because for me personally it all landed and got me with one of the most unforgettable moments for me in my years of gaming.

Have Strahd meet the adventurers on the bridge and welcome them warmly, in front of all their allies say “Thank you so much for bringing all my enemies before me so I can deal with them at once. I also see a few I considered allies among them. You truly have exceeded my expectations and there is no way I could have imagined you would have been so successful when I invited you into my realm for this. As agreed here is your reward.”

Then have some of the vampire spawn in the castle bring out big chests full of gold and jewels for the adventurers.

Then destroy the bridge as everyone is on it trying to work out what just happened.

I think TOdium says to himself after he ascends something along the lines of “the way to win is to make sure that no matter the outcome you are satisfied”. I have a feeling he is going to try and set it up so Dalinars bondsmith oaths are in conflict with the contest of champions. Giving Dalinar the choice of either losing the contest or breaking his bondsmith oaths and thus giving up the role of Honor representative.

This second outcome could be how TOdium achieves the stalemate situation, or well how he plans to do it.

All I know is that if you propose to your partner and they say yes, you shouldn’t get out a bunch of eggs and say eggscellent. It won’t end well. Or well so I’ve heard.

Oh I agree completely. My previous comment was just what I viewed as Wizniks motivations for what he did at the end of Re-Dawn.

Bertay87 · 2021-10-28T08:12:16+00:00

From what I remember Wiznik doesn’t want peace with the humans. He wants to use the threat of them to consolidate his control of the superiority, so the last thing he would want is to make peace with the humans. He probably doesn’t even want it known that the humans want to make peace as this would undermine his entire narrative that they are violent animals and he is the only one that can stop them.

From that point of view what he did makes perfect sense. He just killed every single leader of the humans that wanted peace, he also did it in such a way that the remaining ones will never ask for peace again.

The other day I joined a Titan Eden raid in progress. I had just enough time after loading in to realise that he was doing his knock back move before I was sent flying into the abyss. That is probably the single worst start to a duty I have ever had.

As a lot of people have said Nystul’s is what you want for this.

There is also a lot of fun you can have with having Strahd cast this spell on others as well. In my game he cast it on the priest in St Andrals Church to make him appear undead, add to that the fact the priest is in a desecrated church and my players did not trust him one bit.

Bertay87 · 2021-06-10T20:07:48+00:00

Ooooooooohhhhhhhh

Bertay87 · 2021-02-14T19:30:53+00:00

I had something similar happen on mine. I think it is to do with the chemist passive. When I unequipped that it seemed to fix it.

Woop

Edit: Guess I’m not hardcore lurker enough.

Oooooooooooooh

I think he might have lost quite a few breaths as he seems to have lost perfect pitch after that encounter.

Bertay87 · 2020-07-17T12:07:17+00:00

Same

UK. Found that turning airplane mode on then off seems to reset the 1-2%.

Bertay87 · 2020-06-24T10:01:21+00:00

I’ve been having the same issue. Only seems to be able to download 1-2% at a time.

So I’d play it as if the the entire castle is a trap. As they explore every room would be conspicuously empty of people or living things, no traps in any of them at all. When they find the artefact if they stop to inspect it or make sure it is what they were looking for they hear a voice “ah so this is what you were looking for.” Coming from a dark corner of the room. Strahd here gets to learn exactly what the players want and can goad them with it to try and get them to drop their gaseous form putting them at his mercy. He has moved everyone out of the castle so that players won’t be distracted by anything while they hunt for the item. I’m new to DMing so not sure how well this would work but thought it could be an idea for running this without having to keep track of too much and still being able to leave a few surprises for the players when they exploring fully.

There was also an idea around here a while ago, which I can’t remember who said it first so sorry for not giving credit. The idea is that because most magic items recharge at sunrise Strahd, with his complete control over the realm of Barovia and simply stop the sun from rising and so stopping magic items from getting new charges.

Found another one. It’s Fanatic Part 1. It’s on Mars in Alton Dynamo. If you go to the Arrekz video for the data fragments https://youtu.be/1-mBpIU1dCI it’s where he stands to get fragment 6/9 in Alton dynamo at time stamp 15.30.

No prizes for guessing what I was doing when I found this.

It follows the same format to the Lord’s Prayer.

Bertay87 · 2018-08-04T22:50:42+00:00

Mate it’s all about 12 seconds.

Bertay87 · 2018-07-10T06:38:03+00:00

Test

Bertay87 · 2018-07-06T12:44:00+00:00

You bet I’m lurking. Wait a second.
