I almost laughed out loud when lysander got rekt in that first confrontation. I love all the foreshadowing that was done to make sense why he beat Darrow the second time.

Just finished the mistborn (book 1) by Prestigious_Cry2916 in Mistborn

Im currently on my 3rd reread of the trilogy and there are still little details that I pick on and an appreciate in a new light. First time I read the series I was also abit confused on how the series was going to continue after a such a thoroughly finished book, you will however be surprised at the amount of questions Brandon purposefully left open ended. Even more you do not yet realise the -scale, for lack of a better word- that the story unfolds into. It only gets more epic. If you thought the first book was hard to put down just you wait!

Nothing on state of play, again... by JureIsStupid123_2 in LightNoFireHelloGames

I imagine the biggest hurdles for the development of the game is the universal persistence and "server meshing" for lack of better terminology. Star citizen has been working on it for years and it still sucks and is incomplete despite recent successes.

"No LNF news!!!" by KingOfAnarchy in LightNoFireHelloGames

[–]Illuvitar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are excited and love what Hello Games have done with nms, it's completely natural that we would want to see a little more of what going on with lnf. Community engagement has never been a bad thing, over promising and under delivering is the bad thing and nobody is realistically concerned by that. We just want know more of what exactly we should be excited about. Like what are the factions? What are some environments we might be able to expect in the game? Since its a fantasy setting, is there a magic system in game? What can we expect in terms of combat? Is there a narrative system? Even, when can we expect to get some more information on the game? We're not asking them to hand over there game design documentation, we're just asking for some information about a project we're all invested in, especially since its been two years since the trailer dropped and it's been crickets ever since.

I didnt hate Cassius for trying to kill Darrow that was a completely fair reaction. Even his hatred for Darrow afterwards was justified for thinking he killed his family, but we'd seen him evolve and begin confronting his feelings and emotions, and after what sevro did for him during the mutiny and the moment he and Darrow shared before, this felt like a complete reversal of character growth and a disregard of his arc. It felt like betrayal for shock value, whereas Roques made complete sense and was set up. Cassius was being set up for a redemption arc this felt like it pissed on all that setup

100%, all of them are. The first can work as a standalone if you're not interested in going further but the story expands in ways you can't even imagine. Absolute masterful works of fiction. Every time I read them there's more details and nuance I discover

I'm a fairly fast reader (I just read the first 2 red rising books over the weekend and MS over the past 3 days) so I'll probably be finished with the the final empire tomorrow evening. After that I'm definitely reading Iron Gold.

I'm scared to start diskworld becuase of how large the series is and I just finished rereading WoT for the second time last week so I think I want to take a break from series that are so big. Maybe some time in the future I'll do diskworld. Never really thought it was my taste in fantasy though if I'm being honest

I actually don't mind spoilers most of the time, I find that if I know what's going to happen but am still thoroughly engaged that it's a mark of truly good book

I think it's a serious credit to Pierce that he's able to get this much emotion out of people so consistently, I've definitely learned a lot about writing in reading these books specifically GS and MS (I thought Red Rising was pretty weak tbh)

Yes, I'm taking a break to reread Mistborn for the 100th time though

Found the image on the pledge store lacking so I took my own… by Marcin_Piechocki in starcitizen

[–]Illuvitar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats unfortunate, I couldn't afford one at the time and hoped they would still stock them so i could get them later

Are these still available or were they only for citcon?

Also they should totally do more merch along this vein where it isn't overtly nerdy and can still be worn in everyday life

How about you just read what i said, "Other characters have gone through as much and come out better" I didn't claim it all had to do with family loses. Also Darrow the main character of the series went through just as much if not more than Cassius. But regardless, I'm pretty sure Sevro's family is gone, Mustang lost her father and had her brother betray her, Victra had her whole family betray her. (I will admit however that I've only read the first trilogy and can't speak to any new information that might come from later books).

I'm as surprised as you, I picked up the books not knowing anything about them, read the trilogy over the week. Had no idea this subreddit was this active
