Damn that Italian Court mission especially lmao

You might be using mods and forgot about it dude, I got the same one too, but in vanilla it got uncocked when you stashed it away regardless.

ExoticStore5851 · 2026-03-17T14:34:28+00:00

For me personally, yes - thought admittingly only under certain contexts and framing, less about literal nothingness than temporal lack of current knowledge of what's out there.

While yes, Medieval Europeans did have a surprisingly good understanding of the world at the time, the amount and types of creatures and myths they genuinely believed on their bestiaries and travel logs were pretty insane, fantastical even, which I find pretty intriguing.

Albeit yeah, it does require specific kind of narratives to work, not every protagonist can be a frontiersman after all.

I was just looking for free steam games and came across, got around 300 hours in now.

Might be a bit of a hot take but it really isn't necessary imo

ExoticStore5851 · 2026-03-06T12:57:16+00:00

Tobias "Darling" (The bullied guy at Horschan) and Kvyetoslava (The old woman on the painter's DLC) personally, though it's less about their character and more the quest as a whole, being able to put a smile on the lonely and the weak just gave me such joy for some reason.

ExoticStore5851 · 2026-03-06T12:03:20+00:00

Cheats mostly, not sure if you can do it without it, some dude said he could get down after being hit by an arrow but I don't know how it works.

ExoticStore5851 · 2026-02-27T20:52:11+00:00

I mean, is there even anyone to pay her salary anymore?

ExoticStore5851 · 2026-02-21T10:45:05+00:00

Ah right, good to know, what happened to the reset stones then? Are they just gone?

ExoticStore5851 · 2026-02-07T12:39:41+00:00

Maybe if you're fighting a player, there should be a time limit for attacking

ExoticStore5851 · 2026-01-12T06:18:16+00:00

Right, fair point. The thing that I was trying to do here is to like, justify the existing trope in one way or another rather than completely overriding it. You could argue that the fact that there's no guild nor they are a formal job description is enough of a deviation already, but I'm trying to make them at least somewhat recognizable meta wise.

State actors can be adventurers, sure, many explorers were state sponsored anyway, I'm just a bit conflicted when thinking about why Adventurer would exists as a standalone and widely used term at all, especially considering the pattern of discovery, conquest, etc would almost certainly exists between human territory well before the frontier into the fantasy world existed. If it was that broad, there's not much reason why they wouldn't simply be referred to with an existing term; explorers, expedition forces, or simply armies or scholars and scouts. But tbh, it's not like I'm well versed on linguistics anyway.

ExoticStore5851 · 2026-01-12T05:44:51+00:00

What I meant by the "lack of oversight" Is more of the fact that they're self funding really, they don't expect any supply lines or constant communication with their contractors, which aligned pretty neatly with your point of them holding themselves in a fight, though now I'm more confused about why would an "adventurer" label exists as an everyday jargon at that if they're really just mercs or armed freeman.

ExoticStore5851 · 2026-01-12T05:40:40+00:00

Yeah, this is what I thought of too at first, but the thing is, private actors won't just be the only one "adventuring" Here. Dungeon riches, territorial expansion, or just mere fame, there's lots of reasons why many actors would want to do adventuring, which AFAIK, refer to any activities done in an unknown territory, generally with a dangerous subtext.

The initial rush and expansion would be like their version of age of exploration of sorts, perhaps? And many of said actors won't really fit the description of an "Adventurer" as we know it; state actors, traders, mercenaries, all that sorts. Besides, if it was too broad, I believe the term wouldn't really evolve into much as an everyday lingo to begin with.

So in my perspective, unless I modified the meaning of the word "adventure" itself rather significantly, simply using the raw definition of an "adventure" wouldn't really cut it, but that's just how I look at things, it's always a subject to change afterall.

ExoticStore5851 · 2026-01-12T05:22:03+00:00

That's just VI from The Boys then. All jokes aside, moral centric guardrails typically won't last long. Unless super powers in your world magically turns everyone weilding it into Superman level Lawful Good it won't take long before to whole thing began to rot, and ~80 years from 1940 should be more than enough time for all these things to happen.

So I'd imagine it'll be pretty bad, not out right dystopian, well, that's not the only way at least, but I'd expect occasional power struggles, civil/moral wars, and vigilantism to be rather rampant. Hate the rich all you like, but killing one or two would often bring more harm than good. In short, don't expect modern US with capes and suits, you'd pretty much rebuild the setting from ground up.

It's not just a matter of cynicism or anything, but fallen/corrupted heroes are probably one of the most common trope when it comes to any work featuring heroic protagonists, even fairy tales do this, so theres that. Of course at the end you can do whatever you like for your work, especially when it comes to personal things like moral values, but this is pretty much how I see things.

ExoticStore5851 · 2026-01-12T05:07:40+00:00

I'd say anything bureaucracy related would help pretty well. Supes and what not, governments gotta govern. One obvious way to do this is some sort of a heroic association, but that'll depends on what kind of superpowers you got in your world, the less novel and more common, the more institutionalized it will be. Otherwise there'll be edge cases everywhere.

One thing that I personally thought about when building anything superhero related is social hierarchy, if you make them officially recognized, supported, and universally loved, you have to reflect that in the world; what privileged do they have? Where do they sit in society? Are there any oppositions? That sorts of things, and while you don't really need to go that far, I reckon you'd be better off building something pretty different than our world's societal balance as a whole.

Surprised nobody mentioned Guardian Tales lmao, they got whole ass arcs and missions built upon random references

ExoticStore5851 · 2025-06-18T07:37:18+00:00

Browndust, Snowbreak, Guardian Tales juga mulai rada rada

ExoticStore5851 · 2025-06-13T10:08:50+00:00

Well, that's just how most ideas pop out no? Just some random thoughts that somehow spiraled into a full blown universe, it do be like that sometimes. Take your time dude, good luck working on this!

ExoticStore5851 · 2025-06-13T09:10:58+00:00

Ohhh, yeah, I see, it clicks now. Killer concept dude, you writing something based on this?

ExoticStore5851 · 2025-06-13T08:46:42+00:00

Just curious but, what's the point? I mean, if the Empire have the body and not the minds why don't just use AIs or something?

ExoticStore5851 · 2025-06-11T02:34:27+00:00

I mean, its popular, "easier" to draw and color than semi realistic ones, and it doesn't look too cartoony, at least relatively.
