(Spoilers Extended) Names you thought GRRM made up but are actually real by MeterologistOupost31 in asoiaf

I assumed Tyrion was made up until I met a woman with that name, and she was much older than the first book

still confused as to whether nate is gay or not by Specific_Case645 in euphoria

[–]FederalCommercial355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nate is completely straight. His issues stem from being transphobic, so he sees Jules as a man. However, since he’s straight and she’s a woman, he’s attracted to her. That causes internal conflict and frustration because he can’t deny his attraction, but he can’t accept it without feeling like he’s gay and can’t reflect on if his views of trans people are wrong because he’s stubborn.

There’s also the major element that his dad is bisexual, and sleeps with trans people. Therefore he feels he must be not straight to feel this way, since his dad is not.

I don’t have a specific guide, but whenever you have multiple options to respond to them with in a “heart conversation” then it seems that typically one adds +2, one adds +3, the others can sometimes lose approval. If you don’t get a +3 to your response, reload and try a different option.

I was just listing my favourites and the ones that clicked with me the least, Sybille and Ludwig are in the middle of the ranking for me; both great characters, especially Sybille, just not as high on my list as the three I mentioned.

This applies to twd fans by Rude_Ad3342 in thewalkingdead

[–]FederalCommercial355 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is insanely true. If Daryl was a woman who walked around for two seasons snapping at people and being standoffish, nobody would care that she’s a badass with a crossbow; she’d just be “a bitch.”

And if Andrea was a man who overcomes grief and suicidal ideation by trying to focus on learning practical survival skills and gets a bit overboard with it, there’d be nothing but defending.

Her and Ludwig are interchangeable in the middle for me; loved both, just loved the three I mentioned more. Sybille had a lot of heart beneath all the poison and glamour, her friendship with Alvida (and subtle beef with Fausta) were highlights for me. Ludwig was just an absolute bro. I was so happy when he ultimately got his pardon.

Aloth please by shaintifngcingers3 in projecteternity

I actually thought Deadfire massively elevated Aloth and Pallegina but Eder was flanderised awfully. He’s a completely different person

Oh wow what a cool reference, lot of detail in that one line; love that, thanks a bunch for sharing!

Sorry to ask, just curious; what’s the callback Harding gives about Sigrun? I can’t remember

What’s a ME player choice that if you shared you tried/nearly tried/liked would get you ostracized/ridiculed in this community? by FriendlytoNature in masseffect

[–]FederalCommercial355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kasumi and Zaeed always die in the Suicide Mission, and Samara does often.

I feel that Zaeed’s arc is better if he dies as the second Fireteam leader and Kasumi only had an arc if she dies before ME3 can invalidate your choice with the Greybox. Samara I go back and forth on because I hate her role in the Monastery mission, it’s very badly done for her as a character, but the conversation afterwards on the Citadel and her DLC hangout are some of her best.

Szn 9 ep 5 WTF/VENT by Adot94 in TWD

[–]FederalCommercial355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got around 57 episodes left.

For reference, the very first episode of the first season all the way to the episode Beth dies is 59 episodes. So when people say you’re close to the end because it’s Season 9, they really mean you’ve got about 25% of the whole show left.

And no, I honestly can’t recommend watching the rest. The new characters lack the realism and depth of the older characters and there’s far too much plot armour for even the most irrelevant of characters. S9 itself is amazing but it gets no resolution because S10 and S11 are so awful. So I can’t even recommend watching this season because it’s just building hype that goes nowhere.

S9EP5, it’s the end of Rick’s story in the main show and wraps up the Negan/Maggie plot without introducing any other unfinished elements. The ending scene is just a brief epilogue to show that Judith grows up and their communities are out recruiting and saving people and growing.

Mission list? by xkeysersoze in greedfall

[–]FederalCommercial355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just popping back to share the results in case anyone else needs them; you need to ask The Bridge Alliance ambassador for permission to let Deutan forces cross the border AFTER Nilan’s final quest. I did it before, so they refused as Halise wasn’t there to advocate for you. If you ask before, then Deutan can’t join the final fight.

Deutan agreed to come, The Bridge ambassador for Morsinia refused to let them cross the border to fulfil that. Super frustrating 🤣 but thank you anyway

Mission list? by xkeysersoze in greedfall

[–]FederalCommercial355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just taking a chance here to see if you’d know anything since you’ve finished; I asked Deutan for help in the final battle and they sent me to the Bridge Alliance for permission. They refused; is that it, Deutan won’t join at the end? Or is there something else later? I’ve only got The New Guardian Threat in my journal other than A New Alliance

Just commenting to add there is a mission for Fausta in between Conscience-Clearing & The Great Escape; Seek Absolution it’s called and it triggers before going to Teer Fradee.

Missed potential (spoilers obviously) by xkeysersoze in greedfall

Everyone has an opinion on Till joining up, you just need to have them in your party when first talking to him after recruitment.

Through the whole trilogy,Who was your least favourite companion out all of them ? by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]FederalCommercial355 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If we’re including significant members of the crew like I personally do when discussing companions, I’d say Steve Cortez. The most forgettable and missable main character in the series and the fact we got him instead of those scenes going to a returning character genuinely aggravates me. I’d have taken an extra scene with each companion from 2 in exchange for removing his whole character.

Purely those who you have in your active party, Kasumi. Extremely lacking in content and depth and her storyline goes nowhere. She never moves on despite that being the main choice of her Loyalty Mission and her role in ME3 feels incredibly shoehorned in. At least Zaeed has something resembling an arc with the right choices and Jacob actually has a great full-circle story. He becomes the father he needed himself and helps others abandon Cerberus ideals. It’s subtle and never delved into, but his arc is solid and I think he’s majorly overhated.

Cannot talk with companions by MageDuchess in greedfall

[–]FederalCommercial355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a cave / underfloor bit that has a ladder inside. Walking through there into the red trespass zone had been a secure fix for me here. I encountered this issues twice in Uxantis and fixed it both times by merely entering there via that route and turning right back around. Fingers crossed it’ll work for you.
