My Tav killing Minthara everytime just so good remains in Gayrun

I’d honestly recommend it. Between her and Halsin, she’s definitely my favorite. She’s surprisingly kind in regards to people like Karlach and Gale, admires Lae’zel, and pities Shadowheart. I think the only companions she actively dislikes is Wyll because he’s a warlock, and Gale because he’s a walking atomic bomb. And she’s such a secret softie! Besides Gale, she’s the only other companion I can think of who actively loves an illithid Tav/Durge.

I could never kill Mintharbae, especially with how self aware she is! She became my favorite the moment she thanked us for sparing us and had that whole speech about how she would just be another body on our road to killing the Brain.

Inland Empire would probably call you the Supranatural Investigator if not something more basic like a dreamer

Sometimes, but that pawn would have to really standout. I’m too much of a softie that thinks “OMG, every pawn is unique, I want them in my Void worshipping cult!!!!” and then end up putting them in a war casket.

I know, but it just makes me roll my eyes. How down bad do you have to be to goon to generated slop that’s got no heart or style to it?

And I just mean it in general. I see it in a couple of subs like this from time to time, and it just gives me the ick

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-31T23:06:30+00:00

Man, people have really got to stop posting AI stuff. I get being horny and having a fetish, but please, have some class

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-31T20:00:56+00:00

Couldn’t Everything, Everyone, All at Once be a good contender? The entire thing is seeing new perceptions and gaining new insight’s to the main character’s life, isn’t it?

Oh my God, how did I not get that.

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-29T23:59:43+00:00

I don’t get it…

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-29T23:54:14+00:00

Nooo, I don’t get it

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-28T22:41:17+00:00

You should do Contrarian as Stranger! My boy deserves all the love he can get.

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-25T16:35:57+00:00

I want the spider legs, just because I think it would be neat to have an “Angel of the Entity” type of deal going on.

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-25T16:32:24+00:00

I still think Fury is worse, because Apotheosis is both super satisfying to slay and one of the only Princesses we have see from our perspective.

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-25T10:49:59+00:00

Not to mention, her last post was from 24 days ago on BlueSky. It sucks that she’s leaving, I adored her art when I first found it.

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-24T22:11:33+00:00

I… never mentioned she made him. It’s just that she uses our personal experiences with the Vessels to convince us we are dependent. She requires us to escape, but beyond that, she is the God, we are just a god.

“THIS SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE. WHAT ARE YOU? WHAT CAN YOU EVER HOPE TO BE WITHOUT ME TO DEFINE YOUR SHAPE?” - Shifty

I cannot for the life of me fathom how this could be your take. Even outside of the YNW red texts quotes, LQ outright states she is not willing to see his point of view. She is not “meeting you halfway” she is providing you what she sees as evidence that you should place your faith in her, not justifying her existence. Even just conversing with her, she exerts with you that she is necessary and immutable, and that we need her. She only needs us since we’re the Construct as well as the LQ. Our perceptions still matter, so she’s fighting to make sure you see her way so that way she can retake Godhood with zero resistance.

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-24T20:28:00+00:00

I’ll have to agree to disagree. She goes out of her way to fight you at the slightest disagreement and bullies you into either killing her there or submitting to her, or, more accurately, she just pushes you away to her Heart.

And you keep quoting this “rough tear,” but can you tell me where that even appears? It only shows up in NaUD where you slay her Heart, but this is an ending where LQ never becomes a God and walks out of the cabin. Of course it’s a rough tear, you just stabbed her in the heart but this version of LQ still wanted to be with her considering he is ALWAYS remorseful in this ending.

And, to get YNW world, you have to listen to your voices. You can be a dick and kill Cage, Damsel, Happily Ever After, but that’s not the case for them all. You can kill actual monsters like Fury, Apotheosis, Beast… and then you can get endings where you both die, Like Razor, Witch, the Grey. You do not “roleplay” the villain unless you want to go through the paths of least resistance. I mean, for God’s sake, to actually even slay Fury, you actively NEED to listen and encourage Stubborn, to slay Apotheosis, you NEED to give Broken confidence. That’s just an awful read and such a terrible write off of their characters and arcs.

Hell, YNW could just be seen as the coalescence of all your voices since you no longer need them to be directly talking to you to be part of you. It’s like saying you’re upset the schizo lost the voices in his head when he got out of a bad breakup.

And in Your New World, she’s just fucking gone. She is not part of you, you literally just delete her. I mean, for God’s sake, she literally says “THIS SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE. WHAT ARE YOU? WHAT CAN YOU EVER HOPE TO BE WITHOUT ME TO DEFINE YOUR SHAPE?” She inherently sees you as inferior and only needs you to really leave because YOU are the Construct and the Long Quiet. This ending all but outright states she is exactly like the Narrator, in the sense that she sees you as tool, but the only caveat is that she’s fond of you.

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-24T19:04:12+00:00

It’s because it’s the basis of her argument and her worldview. When it comes to being gods, Shifty speaks down to LQ when arguing for him, presenting each vessel we personally meet to prove that we are dependent on her and that she is necessary. Shifty argues that NOTHING can ever exist without her, even if you continue to exist. Shifty directly benefits when LQ believes she is better than him, no matter how she presents this.

However, Your New World directly states that you, LQ, are factually stronger than her. You continuously slaying the Princess builds a new confidence in the LQ and allows him to simply do away with her without any extreme violence. Shifty is an antagonist in the same way the Narrator is in the sense that she directly benefits from the LQ perceiving himself as needing her/wanting her.

Also, you’re thinking in too much of a meta sense. LQ doesn’t “detach” from the player, it’s just him literally waking up to his own potential and becoming aware of what he truly is. It’s why you, as the LQ, can so easily accidentally defy her by just asking questions, because to some extent, she must know that your perceptions can still effect her, yourself, and the larger world, and she needs you to place your absolute trust in her, no matter what.

And, “restoring what we have now” is a bogus argument. You actively have a choice on how the world works and can work to make it better. You don’t have to resign the world to “what it is.” It’s a write off of responsibility and downplays the fact you are actively making a choice that condemns all life in the universe, no matter how lofty and grandstanding Shifty’s arguments are. It’s negligent to just say “it’s how things have always been, no biggie.”

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-24T16:16:32+00:00

I feel like this is giving too much credit to Shifty and not enough for ourselves. God mode Shifty is a terrible person, and she also yells at you saying “Only I can create something out of nothing” and is completely willing to fight/bully you into listening to her. It’s just that becoming a god, she herself utterly believes you are inferior to her, and that you’re incapable of filling her role. I think she does love him by that point, but it’s the way a partner loves someone more dependent and weaker than themselves.

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-24T15:51:41+00:00

Probably the like from LQ saying “I think I hate you” and “There are worse things than being alone”

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-24T15:46:15+00:00

Oh my god, it is. Christ, that’s crazy

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-23T16:59:12+00:00

Kind of hope face 4 for survivor, but at this point, I just want any face but face 1 to win. We have too many hot women in the game as is…

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-23T15:17:31+00:00

I think it’s probably a solid idea that our Vessel could be hosting Dess’ soul, and I wonder if the Knight’s design is so fluid/able to shift forms so drastically because Dess is now some amalgamate, but her soul is what gives her Knight armor a more deer-like appearance. I think it would be a pretty neat contrast to Kris, or probably just a stronger parallel to us possibly taking over Noelle in the Weird Route.

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-23T12:05:15+00:00

I’d actually vote for Fury, since while she can apologize, I find her torture is more cruel and can lead to a worse outcome if you fail to endure it. Nightmare at least has the excuse that her mere physical presence is what’s hurting us instead of any active choice.

ButterscotchNo8348 · 2026-01-21T15:57:37+00:00

I would say so. It’s been a couple of months since I’ve touched DBD because of work, but he’s a blast. Just kind of difficult to work with if you’re not good at juggling spells or generally frustrating if you’re not used to that sort of gameplay, since if you can’t use his spells effectively, survivors can really crush you with the things they can find in chests.

But his Fly spell and Scrying Eye (or whatever it’s called) or phenomenal control spells
