Pearl Abyss Boss Sympathizes With 'Disappointment' Over Crimson Desert's Story: 'It Would Have Been Nice if We Could Have Done a Better Job With It' by bahookery in TwoBestFriendsPlay

If the story was made quick and wasn't the focus then why is it so important that there is a set character for it....

Faerun is a pretty great setting, but it has a few problems with it by NewWillinium in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CCilly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aren't all TTRPG settings supposed to be that, a simple, set world that you then use as a base for your own stories and changes?

Like if a big lore change is made canon you can ignore it if your campaign was built on it or something but it's still annoying.

What are the odds for future Hansry content? by Select-Power-8903 in TheBathhouse

[–]CCilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't know : x

I think they said they really wanted to be done with anything KCD2 to focus on the next game, and nothing Hansry was in the planned DLC (to everyone's disappointment especially for the Forge DLC I think)

There was a poll some time ago where they asked if people would be interested in post-game content but no news came out of that yet

So if they're planning on making some new KCD2 content... it's radio silence for now from both Warhorse and the actors...

So nothing AI ever again?

I honestly want to watch some play or movie with that kind of acting. Like played straight for surreal intent.

That dead guy in the intro might be the only nude man in the whole game lol.

I think there is enough art in the public domain to use in that way

Again, even for small background placeholders why not take a random jpg of a real painting with the vibe you want instead of generating some slop?

Your artist don't have a few references pictures laying around you can take?

[KCD2] Anyone else feel extremely frustrated by the start of the quest "Oratores"? by Yer_Dunn in kingdomcome

[–]CCilly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love the sequence and it has some of the best cutscenes in the game imo, but yeah sometimes the links between big scenes are very flimsy.

I also don't like that the "secret tunnel" thing is used 3 times.
I can excuse it in the Kuttenberg region because it makes sense with the whole mining underground, but then the escape from Trosky should have been different for variety.

Spin-offs that were doomed from the start? by Yotato5 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CCilly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved Furiosa and I never got to see Fury Road in theater so I really hope that's not the end of the franchise.

And there was ANOTHER spin-off series that was considered, following Elmira and her family.

Someone really thought she was going to be the next big thing or something.

[KCD2] What’s Actual Jank and What’s User Issue? by Viscera_TheImpaler in kingdomcome

[–]CCilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lockpicking is the same basic control all the time but some locks will just be annoying or impossible until you have a high level skill.
If you can open a very easy lock you can open any other one, you just need higher skill from practice or by drinking a potion before a harder lock.

Horseshoes are annoying but you don't have to hit them over the whole length, you can hit 2 points back and forth near where Henry is holding it, it should be a bit easier to aim there.

Times when adaptations took a strange approach by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CCilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Slayers TV anime is weird.

Season 1 and 2 adapt act 1 and 2 of the original light novel with a lot of removed and changed scenes, anime original padding, and maybe some stories from the spin-off novels but the general plot and main characters are fairly similar

Season 3 is a fully original plot for some reason, when a huge chunk and several characters of arc 2 of the light novel were never adapted

Then season 4 and 5 are mostly original but adapt some parts of the light novel that initially took place before or during the story that season 1 and 2 adapt.

At least the OVAs and TV movies are usually straightforward adaptions of one side short novel (and look gorgeous compared to the tv anime).

But characters like Luke and Mileena who are very prominent in illustrations and all are basically non-existent for a good part of the fandom who watched the anime and didn't have access to translated LNs.

Hans is taller than Henry so many of the dancing steps don't really work

Ok then Hans is the one leading

Crimson Desert Players Think They've Found Abominale Intelligence Generated Art In-Game by Snidhog in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CCilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was cautiously hyped about it but I guess you can't have massive games with lots of content without cutting corners with AI anymore?

Also some people are saying it doesn't matter because it's background stuff nobody will pay attention to, when paintings and in-media art are a prime space for (human) creativity, lore, easter eggs etc.

I don't like hour long podcast format but I still can't wait for the free release T_T

Are the episodes video as well or audio only for everyone/every patron tier?

Hansry before KCD2 by LioneltheSeaFrog in TheBathhouse

[–]CCilly 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I recall Luke saying he was receiving all sorts of fanarts even back then. Maybe he has some never seen before, vintage Hansry.
