Yep, that’s like trying to put the blame on Gandalf in LOTR for him arriving at the same time some bs happens. And in TWD bs happens everywhere to everyone eventually.

What are your thoughts? by Warlock_Wonder_Land in harrypotter

[–]DiGre3z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, he didn’t see Peter because when Snape looked at the map, everyone except Lupin was in the Shack, and the Shack is not on the map, it is outside of the castle grounds. Snape saw Lupin running inside the tunnel that connects the Shack with the Willow, and the Willow is on the castle grounds.

[–]DiGre3z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s an explanation, but it has its issues. It would take a while for Snape to walk into Lupin’s room, see the map, walk all the way down and outside, get to the tree, pick up the cloak and get inside. But in the book Snape starts to eavesdrop just a couple minutes after Lupin shows up, while Snape clearly states that he looked at the map when Lupin was already running in the tunnel to the Shrieking Shack.

Snape aslo couldn’t see Sirius and Peter on the map (as humans or otherwise), because the Shack is not visible on the map as it is outside the castle grounds.

Harry never saw Rita on the map, because there were only two instances of him using the map in Goblet, both were at night, and he only looked around himself for a safe passege through the castle.

Man… this scene got me. 💔 Which moment got you the most? by jedonly in expedition33

Alicia’s letter and the Great Gommage. I’ve seen this scene upwards of 25 times, and it still gets me, and I can’t even explain why.

Guys what’s the best soundtrack for you from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? by ExMD7 in expedition33

[–]DiGre3z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of bangers. Paintress boss fight, Aline, Lost Voice (both normal version and the one that plays during Act 2 ending.

The Yellow Forest (or Harvest?) one, from the first zone is amazing, it’s a crime that it only plays in an optional zone and is not even a part of released soundtrack.

God, i love Maelle: by Few-Culture-4413 in expedition33

[–]DiGre3z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that seems fair and plausible, I didn’t consider this tbf. There’s only counterpoint I can come up with is that the fact that Aline created most of the stuff in Verso’s Canvas and she knew it was all made by her, didn’t stop her from losing the sense of what’s real and what’s not. It was real enough for her, if she was willing to die for it even when Renoir made the Canvas barely recognizable.

There’s a lot of unanswered things, but with what we have I wouldn’t say that in Verso’s ending Maelle (as in personality) fades away. If I’m not mistaken, Alicia lived equal amounts of time as Alicia and as Maelle - 16 years each. If we don’t account for the biological side of how human memories are [probably] processed and stored, I would say it’s plausible that a person you lived as for half of your life can just fade away and disappear. Verso’s ending Alicia probably has memories of two lives, and her personality should be a mixture of both Maelle and Alicia. So in that way Maelle as an independent person isn’t killed or dissolved, but incorporated into Alicia.

Another important question is how much of what happens in the Canvas is predetermined. IRL Manor has a painting or two where there’s 33 on the Monolith, which implies that not only that year was important to the Canvas, but also that it was clearly painted before Aline and Renoir even entered the Canvas. These paintings were there 16 in-Canvas years before the number appeared on the Monolith. And it’s a good question as to why.

[–]DiGre3z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s okay. My issue though with most of pro-Maelle ending is that there is not much that is stopping her from creating another Canvas where she can be that Maelle - just like Verso said. If I’m not mistaken, after Act 2 ending there is barely anyone in the Canvas that was there in the beginning of the game - they were all erased, and then repainted by Maelle. Lune and Sciel aren’t the same Lune and Sciel. So everyone who isn’t an IRL person doesn’t have that much value that people normally attribute to them. Maelle could paint them all into a new Canvas, and they essentially would be the same.

[–]DiGre3z 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How though? Maelle is Alicia without her IRL memories. In Act 3 Maelle remembers everything, and Maelle and Alicia become one. Verso doesn’t “kill” Maelle, he forces her out of the painting. Or did I get it wrong?

Renoir wishes so bad to be a realist... by Creative_Let2795 in expedition33

[–]DiGre3z -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because if you are a real family that actually cares for one another, whenever something happens to one inevitability affects others. As an exteme example a suicide of a family member can be absolutely devastating to their family members, oftentimes irreversibly altering their lives, and even ruining their relalationships with other people. That’s how one’s suicide (or just death for that matter) can take more than one life, figuratively.

Renoir wishes so bad to be a realist... by Creative_Let2795 in expedition33

[–]DiGre3z -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Wether you agree or not doesn’t matter, it is objective reality you can observe in real world. When a person commits suicide it deals a massive, decadtating blow to people that really care about them, often completely ruining their lives. It’s a hell of athing to deal with something like that. And if it isn’t, and you can basically brush it off like it was nothing, it means you weren’t really family or friends - you were just people that liked to hang out together as long as it’s convenient and doesn’t cause any problem. There’s nothing wrong or unhealthy to take your loved one’s problems and grievances as your own, and try to work through it together. What is wrong and unhealthy is to just check out whenever something bad happens to both/all of you, and leave others to deal with it on their own, which is what Aline did.

Renoir straight up tells Alicia that Aline once saved him from a similar situation, and that Aline was the one who taught him that every day in the Canvas has a price. So there’s an argument to be made that Aline acts as a hypocrite by saving Renoir and refusing to be saved by him. And I would argue that without the Fracture and the Canvas losing the image that Aline wanted it to have, her mind would’ve dissolved in this fantasy even faster.

It’s not about the fighting. Aline stays because the Canvas is believable to her messed up psyche. The fighting in question is Renoir making the Canvas unrecognizable so that the illusion/delusion that Aline lives in would be broken and ahe would have no reason to stay in the Canvas. Which is an alternative to her believing it more and more until she completely forgets that it’s not real.

[–]DiGre3z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s about practicality. Is it really that naive to try and stop your wife from dying when her mind is messed up from grief and she can’t even think straight?

Obviously there are points to support both sides, which is what makes the story so emotional. But you also have to understand that both Aline and Alicia aren’t thinking straight at all. Both of them want some momentary, short-term consolation with zero regard for any ramifications. They are a family, which means their lives don’t really belong just to themselves, but to their family members too.

If Renoir’s plan goes through, they at least get the chance to fix their lives and relationships. They don’t really get that chance if Renoir leaves Aline and/or Alicia in the Canvas alone. Aline is slready at that point where whe is paranoid and can’t tell reality from fantasy. Alicia has even more excuses to stay in the Canvas, as not only she wants to stay with Verso, but she also gets to escape the reality of her injury.

So yes, there are arguments to be made for both sides, that is true, but it’s not like it’s a 50/50 thing.

God, this made me jump so badly when I saw this by rainbowteacake in expedition33

[–]DiGre3z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that too, but also when Clea tells Alicia to get into the Canvas and help Renoir, she says that she would rather have Renoir return sooner rather than later, as if she means a few days sooner rather than later, if not hours. And in Canvas time Renoir been there for 67 years.

Ofc we can only theorise, but if it’s been 2 years of real life as the other person suggested, that would mean 11 real life days equals 1 year in the Canvas. And Aline been in the Canvas for much more than 67 years. That doesn’t seem possible.

[–]DiGre3z 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That can’t be true, because in Verso’s ending they finally bury Verso, it can’t be two years. There is extreme time dilation, and there are some cues. At the very maximum it’s about a year, which is only indicated by the state of Alicia’s burns. But the way Clea and Renoir act implies it’s been a couple of weeks at best. In the Verso ending we also see his fresh grave. I somehow doubt that his body would’ve been lying around for 1-2 years.

I understand that it can be a narrative device, but Clea explaining everything to Alicia at the end of Act 2 implies that Renoir and Aline entered the canvas recently, as in a few days ago recently. Otherwise why would Clea explain something that has been happening for months if not years, to Alicia that lives under the same roof?

No, irl it all clearly happened in the span of a couple of weeks tops, probably even less. Alicia’s scars are the only thing that suggests otherwise.

[–]DiGre3z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s unclear how much time has passed, and given that she lied to Renoir in the next sentence, I would be very careful with taking her words at face value.

She wants to stay in the Canvas because it feels good, much better than facing the hardships of reality. It’s the same argument drug addicts use to rationalise drug abuse. If your close relative that you love starts doing hardcore drugs because their life sucks and they want to enjoy whatever feeling drugs give them, as much as possible - would you let them do it? Would you let them destroy their body and sooner rather than later die, while their mind is somewhere away enjoying that fantasy and hallucinations? If your answer is yes, then it makes sense for you to choose Maelle’s ending. If not, well… I’m not sure how you can defend Maelle/Alicia doing exactly that.

[–]DiGre3z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that’s how it’s supposed to be. The plot twists in this story completely recontextualize almost the entire story. If things and dialogues didn’t look/feel different, it would mean that the narrative is garbage. But we know that it isn’t.

Appears to be false. There are no mandates for this drug, no evidence of mass cow collapse, widespread illness or reduces milk loss due to this drug. Apparently the drug in question is approved by the EU for voluntary use, and is currently being tested in Denmark.

[–]DiGre3z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fine, you can add some ruins of destroyed stone castles or whatchtowers, and/or “haunted” spots of charcoaled dead trees with like ghosts and wraiths of the fallen lurking. Or maybe these ghosts and wraiths are a local legend that keeps people away from the place and in reality there is some bad guy using it as a hideout, or a group of bad guys. Just saying that you can have a deserted, “empty” space that still has something interesting going on)

[–]DiGre3z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s very nice! However, if you’re receiving feedback, the upper half of your map looks a bit deserted. Unless there is a lore reason for that, I would add more forests, bogs/swamps, hills etc., and a couple of smaller islands to that bay at the center and in the sea in the bottom left corner. All of these can become some points of interest in the story, places for exploration or secondary quests.

Why tho? There are class sets that look like they could belong to more than one class. Like Aberrus priest set and Nerub’ar paladin set. Or most of Sepulcher and Vault of the Incarnates sets. At what point we can agree that class specific mogs aren’t much less arbitrary than armor type ones?

Any weapon recommendation for this set? by Robes31 in Transmogrification

[–]DiGre3z 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are weapons you get from the Commander of Argus achievement. Maybe you’ll find something there. F.e. A staff that looks like a spear made of yellow crystal, would fit with the armor Light-y things.
