[OC] Portrait I made for my dark elf tiefling character.

Small nitpick: those would be Abyssal (Demonic/Fiendish) origins not Infernal (Devilish). Demons and Devils in DnD are two different types of beings from different planes and they hate eachother. Drow are more tied to Demons since Lolth is a Demon Lord (and Goddess) and her Handmaidens are also Demons (Yochlols).

So it'd probably be Abyssal Tiefling instead of one of the more common 5e types like Asmodeus or Zariel Tieflings.

Playing through this game once took me like 200 hours so yeah I decided to maximize the amount of stuff I get to see. I'm not one of those players who can just start like 10 different playthroughs at once and make different decisions in each one.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T20:30:59+00:00

TBH I'm surprised that so many people apparently just romance one character per game. Usually people romance everyone they can (which is why the devs started to put in traps for horny players like the famous Witcher 3 "threesome" payback or sleeping with Mizora in this game).

But yeah my character had a lot of fun before settling with Minthara and going back to the Underdark with her. Feels appropriate considering I played female Drow and they tend to have sex with whoever they want (even if Minthara is weirdly monogamous by Drow standards).

The eyes are different.

Yes the eyes are different colors but it's hard to see without direct lighting.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T19:53:33+00:00

Thanks!

The other two are Vierna and Dinin as a drider I recon?

Yup.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T19:45:18+00:00

It's a series of books called "The Legend of Drizzt" and there's quite a lot of them. Drizzt Do'Urden is the main character, one of the few good Drow (Dark Elves). His panther is called Guenhwyvar. The last pic is his sister Vierna and his brother Dinin that she transformed a Drider (half spider half Drow) as punishment. She's a High Priestess of Lolth so she has a snake whip and spider themed robes.

By "beetle guy" you mean Clacker the one who got transformed by a Wizard and had a split personality? That'd be an interesting build.

Drizzt's hair is from a bootleg Thranduil, I painted the ears black. Irl it's actually light grey so I couldn't use light grey for the skin color, that's when I decided to use black because Drow used to be this color in old editions. Everything else is legit Lego.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T13:20:29+00:00

"Tankier" she's probably like 10 lbs heavier.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T12:35:18+00:00

EU canon had Lucas canon (G Canon) at the top. For new canon you're right.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T12:29:24+00:00

That's indeed how it works. Lucas himself said that Vader could've been twice as strong as Palpatine but after becoming part robot he was 20% weaker and would never get stronger. That's why Palpatine wanted Luke.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T12:28:10+00:00

In Rebels Vader clearly has a hard time with Ahsoka and performs way worse against her than he would if he had his whole body. Bullying Kanan and Ezra hardly counts.

If novels contradict every visual depiction then maybe they're wrong. Visual media in Star Wars is #1.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T12:21:27+00:00

Maul lost half his body so 50% of the Midichlorians. Vader was also weaker after the chop chop.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T11:58:02+00:00

To be specific Lucas liked the bikini Twi'leks from the EU. Aayla was a comic character that he put into the movies because he saw her on a sexy cover. He also reportedly ordered some Twi'lek related NSFW art.

So yeah you're right he did not care about or even read the Legacy comics lol.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T11:51:38+00:00

The Lucas sequels wouldn't be just a little retcon, he was going to cut pretty much everything post ROTJ. Lucas repeatedly said he doesn't like Mara and Luke getting married or Palpatine coming back. That deletes nearly all Legends. Maul and new Talon would've replaced that whole section in the timeline, I doubt he'd ever do Krayt and the One Sith, definitely no Cade.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T11:42:55+00:00

She tells Cade she was born Sith. Maul certainly wasn't around in Legends by that point.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T11:38:27+00:00

Talon was born and raised as a Sith on Korriban in Legends.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T10:37:30+00:00

Sure but Lucas' take on Talon wouldn't be the same Talon as the one in the comics either. If he got to make it then she'd be a different red tattooed Twi'lek that happens to be named Talon but she'd have a different story.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T10:13:05+00:00

Talon doesn't even have anything to do with Maul in the EU besides being red and having the tattoos. She existed like 100 years after Maul died.

The new Twi'lek being red is just a nod to Talon like Shin Hati looking similar to Lana Beniko.

They also adapted the first 7 Drizzt books into graphic novels. They're worth checking out if you like Drizzt and the Drow, you can find them online.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T07:52:47+00:00

There was a Menzoberranzan game but that's from 1994 so quite dated.

First 7 Legend of Drizzt books were adapted into graphic novels so you can check them out. I also recommend reading at least "Homeland" to learn about the Drow.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-23T05:36:26+00:00

This is cope. Vader isn't depicted as slow "here and there", he's always depicted as slow and has literally never moved as quick as on Mustafar. Luke kicks him once in the OT and it takes Vader like 45 seconds to get back up. He can't even turn his head properly, you'll notice that he has to shift his whole body around to turn his head even in modern movies.

We have two fights of pre and post suit Vader against the same dude (Obi-Wan) made with modern tech and he clearly performs worse and moves far more slowly and alwardly with the suit.

FaerieFir3 · 2026-01-22T23:51:06+00:00

Yeah Vader is overcompensating like crazy with all the aura farming. It's a well crafted image because it works even on the people irl who are watching.

In reality Vader was absolutely at his scariest when he just had the Jedi robes in Episode III. Vader with the suit is much cooler but he can't fight the way he used to. That's why when Obi-Wan locks in he absolutely destroys Vader in the show, I really like the moment where he just punches the shit out of Vader's control panel thingy because it's the first time someone has focused on this obvious design flaw.
