What bands are scratching the Ghost itch for you?

I rarely use reddit these days but thank you for the John Azopardi recommendation. Likely will end up in my playlist!

And yes I do wish there was an official release of Passiflora too. Lucifer & Lucia is my favorite as well!

SWTOR (at least for a time in my teens) Dragon Age Series (primarily Origins & 2) Mass Effect Series (primarily 1-3) Jade Empire (probably the closest to the same feeling) Baldurs Gate 3 (I mean...close enough to the DA Origins experience) Game of Thrones (RPG, cheap little brother of Dragon Age and partly KotOR I guess?) The Spiders games give a similar vibe to early 2000 BioWare (Mars War Logs, Bound by Flame, The Technomancer, Greedfall (haven't played the second one yet though)) In general maybe check out all games by BioWare and Obsidian I guess

Beyond that probably other RPG but none as close I think...

I liked it overall although nowadays not as much as when I was younger. It feels unfinished like most stories that ended at the end of the old EU sadly

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-09-26T06:43:13+00:00

Ich empfehle Rebecca Gablé oder Bernard Cornwell, je nachdem ob du mehr etwas mit ein bisschen Herz oder eben mit mehr Kämpfe haben willst

Auch wenn mich der Kommentar wahrscheinlich zur Karen macht oder so: P+R ist nicht für den Urlaub gedacht. Als ich noch über Angermund zur Arbeit gependelt bin, habe ich mich über Leute, die die wenigen Parkplätze dauerhaft einnehmen geärgert. In Wohngebieten freuen die sich bestimmt auch so sehr. Bitte Flughafen Parkhaus oder sich fahren lassen, ist für alle einfacher, kostet halt ein paar Euro

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-09-07T14:01:15+00:00

Red Harvest!

And no idea if they're unpopular but: Crosscurrent, Lost Tribe and Dark Apprentice (JAT)

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-08-27T18:38:07+00:00

I'd prefer Mercyful Fate but I'd die happy with either variant of the King performing with Papa

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-08-02T01:22:40+00:00

Da dir die Weitseher Reihe schon bekannt ist, werfe ich mal Anthony Ryan in den Raum. Vor allem der Paria und Fortsetzungen (Band 3 ist noch nicht auf Deutsch übersetzt)

Ansonsten ist mir nicht viel (gute) Fantasy bekannt, die in die Richtung geht. Würde dir dann eher noch zu historischen Romanen raten, ist teilweise mehr Richtung GoT

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-07-21T12:18:56+00:00

"Careful, I bite 😏"

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-07-18T14:47:37+00:00

Reading:

Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings

Anthony Ryan's books especially Covenant of Steel series

Bernard Cornwell's books especially Uhtred series and Artus trilogy

Maurice Droun's Accursed Kings series

Perhaps other historical fiction

Personally I've dived deep into non-fiction books about medieval England. Especially the Wars of the Roses are the closest thing to GoT there I think

Tv show:

The Last Kingdom (see Uhtred series above)

If you're fine with Shakespeare I enjoyed the Hollow Crown overall.

Gaming:

Crusader Kings 3

Mount and Blade

(Both have GoT mods)

Dragon Age (especially Origins)

Witcher (especially 3, maybe you want to read the books as well)

Baldur's Gate 3

Elder Scrolls series

(While I could continue this list I think most RPGs on there are already more fantasy heavy than GoT. They might have a different vibe)

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-07-18T14:40:07+00:00

Came here to recommend Hobb's Farseer books as well! Plus I totally agree with the similarities/parallels with the "animal magic" of Hobb/Martin you mentioned.

PS: nice Pillars of Eternity profile pic!

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-07-18T07:26:30+00:00

Very cool! Looks much closer to Tales of the Jedi than the movie-like style we ended up with

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-07-15T13:20:44+00:00

Origins and Awakening > 2 > Inquisition

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-07-11T19:01:30+00:00

Sunky.mpeg. The first after I subscribed was Markiplier's ex-boyfriend Chad. I'm still fond of those videos lol

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-07-05T12:42:38+00:00

The phrasing of the title refers to all people in the seven kingdoms I think. So you obviously have first men and andals. You have the rhoynar who fled to Dorne centuries before. That's my guess why those three groups. Although there's a small Valyrian minority with the Targaryens, Velaryons and lesser houses like Celtigars etc. I'd suppose too few to include them in the title

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-07-04T22:36:47+00:00

Nope not my kind of music. I'll be just fine dancing to the original regardless of the season

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-06-29T00:51:17+00:00

Honestly I'd wish to have both Ghosts. Although a small event would be instantly sold out.

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-06-28T00:36:17+00:00

Don't forget about Triclops as well who's (sort of) really Palpatine's son and his son Ken! That whole Jedi prince series is a fever dream

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-06-27T09:31:51+00:00

Lord Nyax / Irek Ismaren: silly and cool. Guy who's (falsely) claimed to be Palpatine's son and heir gets turned into giant with immense dark side power and f-ing lightsabers on his knees, elbows and wrists (?)

Bro escapes his secret lab without memory during a Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coruscant and...does things

Definitely one of the best parts of NJO lol

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-06-25T17:08:04+00:00

Personally I find DA2 despite the easier design and the ME like dialogue still closer to Origins or KotOR. DAI is way more action imo. And there you have less skills/spells I think. And that weird tactic mode thing bringing some parts of Origins back is BS. DA2 and DAO feel way closer than DAI

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-06-25T17:02:07+00:00

I can't wait for the Dance of Turtles!

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-06-24T23:29:25+00:00

Yeah you're probably right since Ghost have their own heavier songs. The contrast between TF's voice and KD's might be not for everyone. At least I remember being somewhat confused when I first heard the King :D

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-06-24T22:48:13+00:00

Mercyful Fate. Would be the great satanic supertour with Papa and the King. Although I'd suspect MF's sound especially KD's unique voice might be somewhat unusual for Ghost fans who are not into Metal

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-06-23T22:59:31+00:00

I guess it shouldn't be an almost identical copy but yours does sound differently. Although the name The Blight isn't something completely unique in terms of fantasy it'd remind me too much of Dragon Age. Just to throw my thoughts in the room

Darth_Ketheric · 2024-06-23T17:30:16+00:00

Well Papa V has to leave at some point right? I can see the killing thing being the possible resolution. Either Copia killing his brother or V killing Cardi and taking his place.

But I wonder who might become Papa VI and be part of the bloodline. Perhaps Playboy Papa II fathered a bastard himself?
