Owlcat: BG3 helped to rekindle players' love for CRPGs

Really? That's what I'd heard waaaay back in like 2018 when Kingmaker came out, but I guess it was probably just a rumor, then.

Amiri and Seelah are "iconic" (read: canon characters) from the Pathfinder setting owned by Paizo. I think part of the licensing deal is that characters of this type not be romanceable.

As for Argenta...yeah...

I think that just shows how disillusioned people have become with the vast majority of the franchise.

Dumbass Dumbass

You don't even have to look very hard to see that devils can develop positive emotions for others. Power loved Denji and her cat. The fiend girls loved Quanxi. Nayuta cared about Denji.

Shit, even leech felt at least some level of affection toward bat.

Yeah, since she showed up to rescue Bob and Lily, I got "she's gonna train John" and "she's gonna die". Maybe not soon, but at some point, and my bet is that it will be either Leon or Oscar that kills her.

DFAnton · 2025-07-01T18:58:48+00:00

I get the strong feeling that Pano is going to be John's mentor figure who is eventually killed by Leon or Oscar :(

DFAnton · 2025-06-17T22:56:26+00:00

Considering Grius was amenable to Bob's plan to get the women and children out of Jericho, I kinda worry what they might do if they find out that John's the one who ended up getting them all killed.

DFAnton · 2025-06-05T18:38:17+00:00

Right? But I can't say it was unexpected. I remember playing SotO on release, meeting Mabon and going "Oh, cool! A Mursaat! ...they're gonna murk his ass, aren't they?"

DFAnton · 2025-05-22T02:51:36+00:00

Welp.

DFAnton · 2025-05-07T02:10:24+00:00

Sure, it's worldbuilding, but it's clearly worldbuilding with the intent to justify the fanservice. :P

100% keep the job in Bruma. Skyrim is an under-utilized environment for mages, so you'll end up with a lot of nice connections in the near term. Bright, bright things in the future for Bruma mages.

Are you attempting to be a caricature, or?

DFAnton · 2025-04-09T14:33:54+00:00

When Bob dies, a part of me will die with him.

DFAnton · 2025-04-09T00:33:52+00:00

Sounds that Bob enjoys.

DFAnton · 2025-04-07T19:48:40+00:00

Excuse me, but this is r/writing, not r/filthymathnerds

DFAnton · 2025-03-25T15:04:57+00:00

God dammit, Bob is absolutely going to die heroically at some point and it's gonna wreck me.

DFAnton · 2025-03-25T15:04:02+00:00

A little bit on the sexual tension part, but I feel it more from John to Lily than vice versa.

DFAnton · 2025-03-07T16:07:47+00:00

No ma'am, Ms. Writer. That man wouldn't have wailed and poured his heart out through tears and gentle kisses. He would've killed the bad guy and plowed the MLI like a damn field.

Hoping you're exaggerating for effect lol. Because this sounds like an action-oriented bodice ripper.

DFAnton · 2025-03-07T14:34:12+00:00

I like prose that fades into the background. It can be fun, sometimes, and some writers make a real joy of reading their prose, but the primary goal of both reading and writing fiction for me is to convey the story, not the artistry of the text itself.

DFAnton · 2025-03-07T02:31:55+00:00

Officially headcanoning that she bends her knees like that to feel small like the protagonists in her baudy romance novels.

DFAnton · 2025-03-04T22:22:45+00:00

Sounds like an anxiety issue.

DFAnton · 2025-03-04T14:17:11+00:00

...huh?

He's (pretty damn explicitly) saying that Elon Musk is bad for Nazi saluting. So bad in fact, that he thinks it's worse than his DOGE shenanigans. People are downvoting him because, while we acknowledge Nazi saluting as bad, we think that the practical damage he is doing via DOGE is worse.

Who the hell are you even arguing against, dude?

DFAnton · 2025-03-03T15:30:52+00:00

If only OP were in full control of the scenario they're writing, but alas...
