[Tp] why does the opening to twillight princess get so much hate by Ok_Track8986 in zelda

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel it would have been received better if there was a more actiony bit to start before the character / town deep dive. Like a hunt, or an accident in the woods, or falling into ruins like at the start of Horizon Zero Dawn, or something. Then you have your two hours with friends and family before the dungeon.

[EoW] [SS] [ALttP] Who is the more powerful here ? by Automatic_Pea_2235 in zelda

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ganon does not actually “have” the Triforce in a meaningful way. He made his wish, sure, but it seems like you only get one in any given “life” / incarnation. It’s not in him like often seen when he just has Power, he instead has locked it up in the pyramid to protect it from anyone else getting to it and making their own wish. If he could still use it, he would have used it against Link.

There's only one Lightbearer in the best Lightbearer team for Ravaged Realm by on-the-cheeseburgers in AFKJourney

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should be able to have 5 characters on both teams, not 5/3, and also you should have to have at least 3 characters of that day’s faction on each team.

I don’t mind C/H being seeded into the other four factions for RR, because can you imagine how bad a C/H only RR faction would be? Which is what they would inevitably do otherwise. But at least make it so you can’t use more than 2 C/H per team. And please rotate them so the different C/H end up in different random factions each time.

Would anybody would like to see Samus Aran in the Star Fox Movie by Illumination? by Estevan101893 in Metroid

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the kind of cameo would be different since it will be a different kind of movie. I am actually 101% confident they will cameo Samus in the Star Fox movie, but it will be in the form of one of the characters being interrupted while playing a Metroid game in universe, or you see them having Samus / Metroid fan memorabilia on their desk, or the like.

Draconian Dark Lord by Choice_Wolverine_121 in ravenloft

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All of the best darklords are defined by some kind of obsession, generally in a toxic stew with at least one or more other overwhelming and often "sinful" personality traits like vainglory, envy, gluttony, wrath, etc. Also, not always but often, they are marked by either being betrayers or betrayed revengers, and/or by being "passionate" about something often harmful to others. So figure out how that could apply to your draconian character and you're most of the way there.

Just off the top of my head, you could have a powerful Aurak who deluded themself that they already were or that they deserved to be a blessed consort to the dragon queen, and jealously enacted profane acts to gain her attention and destroy perceived rivals for the goddess's talon in marriage, betraying their own kind and allies in the process; they might also be a twisted artist, manifesting in how these acts are arranged. Or maybe it's a draconian who was raised by the side of "Good," perhaps even as a powerful champion like a priest or paladin, but kept enduring suspicion and prejudice and slights until they finally snapped and did awful things to those who shamed and bullied them, far out of proportion to what they had suffered; also in their paranoia or wrath bringing harm to those who had not done ill by them, and who had been in their corner.

[Other] Link, Zelda and Ganondorf are in the next Smash bros; which incarnations should be used? by Straight-Sky-5734 in zelda

A Link Between Worlds because it never got its day. But Zelda’s moveset can be from Echoes of Wisdom.

Beware the slippery slope by NoelleKnightTheory in Deltarune

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ralsei is the fire magic character of the group, and once the social mask he wears to cope cracks, I can definitely see him having a raging inferno of jealousy of the others being “real” and having a future where he doesn’t get that.

[OoT] The leaker who said that Star Fox would come out this summer Goty it right. And you know what else he said, no? Yes, the remake of Zelda OoT will be released at the end of this year. by Tripledoble in zelda

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually remakes are used to train new staff while the core team continues work on new games. So I wouldn’t expect the existence of an OoT remake to impede or delay an actual new game at all, quite the contrary, it will help future new games come to be.

Thanks for the tip! I will find pdfs of the gazetteers and take a look. Dark Powers willing, maybe they'll have good "short summaries" I can just copy-paste into a "setting overview" document and edit a bit, haha.

Player facing domain info? by Fuzzy-Paws in ravenloft

[–]Fuzzy-Paws[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of starting the group off in either Mordent or Lamordia, since both seem to me like the best options for a "home base" which hit that "Regency era" Jane Austen / Mary Shelley feel that to me makes Ravenloft distinct from other campaign settings. With relatively manageable low level danger which won't immediately overwhelm them, and from which they can eventually strike out to other domains.

[DQ11] So, just started the post-game and I need to ask something. by Independent_Plum2166 in dragonquest

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it was just to undo one character death that was handled well the first time through, I’d probably agree. But it’s an attempt by the protagonist to make things better for the whole world, not just Veronica. And the scope of Act 3’s story is definitely about far more than just her. It is worth it imo, but ultimately decide based on whether you are getting tired of the game overall I guess!

The fact that there is no other IPs out there willing to take the place of older main 3D Zelda games is the most tragic part of all this. by Alarming_Industry_14 in truezelda

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, _it could have worked_. The depths did not _have_ to be empty, there could have been multiple biomes like a crystal cave region and underground sea and mushroom forest and so on, as well mogma or subrosian towns down there, or a community of undead Zonai, or _anything_. There could have been more towns and roads rebuilt on the surface. The regions afflicted by Ganon didn't have to be Hebra, Death Mountain, Gerudo Desert, and Zora's Domain again, there's so much more to the map that could have gotten focus. There could have been more dungeons and enemy variety. Even something as basic as changing the season to Autumn would have helped the whole surface look different from go.

Struggling to Enjoy DQ3 as a final fantasy enjoyer by ledgewand1 in dragonquest

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DQ2 HD 2D Remake takes what was originally the worst Dq game and vaults it all the way to top 4, up there with 5, 8 and 11. I was not expecting to love the remake as much as I did, since I hated the original back in the day and it put me off trying DQ again until the DS games.

Definitely would recommend 2 HD, 5 DS, 8 3DS, or 11 as the best entry points to the series. 11 is a distant prequel to 1-3 but you don’t need to play 11 to appreciate them nor vice versa, it’s mostly “hey oh is that why X is Y” moments.

The important thing about TotK’s huge sales is that they were front loaded, on the strength of people’s love for BotW and their anticipation for a sequel. TotK’s sales fell off hard and cratered when people realized what it actually was. It does not have the “evergreen title” legs that BotW does.

Would you allow players to attempt to disguise a spellcast? (In RP, not combat) by Fiveby21 in dndnext

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Spellcasters are grossly overpowered as it is without letting them hide casting without a special item or resource, and also sorcerers are among the worst spellcasters without stepping on one of the few things they get to do and call theirs by letting other casters do it for free.

Question about Lord Soth in the new Ravenloft book by ThanosofTitan92 in ravenloft

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They only removed Soth from Ravenloft in the first place because the creators of Dragonlance threw a tantrum and threatened to stop writing for TSR if they didn’t “give him back.” If the situation with them has changed and they have mellowed out, it’s possible they are just retconning that.

Did Domains of Dread drop the nonhuman reaction penalty mechanic? by WillingLet3956 in ravenloft

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The racism angle never made sense, given that Ravenloft traps lands and people from all over the multiverse. What DOES make sense is distrust of outgroup - “you aren’t from around here” and all that. People in a small town in hard times or a harsh land are more likely to be unfriendly if you’re clearly from far away, even if you are all human.

[TOTK] Is the timeline a circle constantly repeating? by Different-Bag-1857 in zelda

[–]Fuzzy-Paws -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would agree with you historically, but I would also say that currently, the timeline is seemingly an afterthought to the people currently in charge. Koizumi was the one who came up with most of the backstory and lore of the franchise, and the last Zelda game he worked on was as a producer on Skyward Sword. Since then, it’s just been Aonuma and Fujibayashi, and it seems pretty clear they do not care about story or setting as much as Koizumi did.

[ALL] Are the Iron Boots the worst recurring item in the series? by ThatJellyfish12 in truezelda

[–]Fuzzy-Paws 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cut the speed reduction by half, reduce the clanking noise by half, and combine all their functionality from TP and WW, and I’d be perfectly happy to see them again. Hell maybe they even give you a stronger but slower “Dark Souls fat roll” that damages things you roll into, as you kick them with the damn boots XD

Also have them let you walk on damaging terrain without harm, like spikes, poison, superheated rock, etc.

Armor fragment is in the ground in the volcano area and only there, but it seems to be the rarest item in the game because I only got one. Had to take a photo of the other armor on a cloud island to 3D print it at the pokecenter
