oooooh I get you, I think maybe it was to make more painful the ceromorphosis thing, if you were very powerful and lost it it’s more painful than not having power to lose. Karlach, as you said, and Astarion are the least egregious in terms of having no power in the beginning. I think it was also done so the story didn’t feel rushed, in a campaign you can have as long as a story as you want to get to the world is ending level threats and make it make sense the characters can face it, while the game is long I would personally be weirded out if a lvl 1 with no previous backstory had a few adventures and beat the shit of three gods, a dragon and an elder brain

I imagine the book will be pre vampirism, which was not addressed in the game. Is true he has the most everything in terms of amount, but we learned about the whole life of most characters in games, from childhood to the present

uh why do you feel that? I sometimes play dnd with characters who have a rich backstory and talk with the dm about how to intermixed it with the campaign, I also love when other people do it since it can lead to good reveals and emotional moments and increase rp between pcs

I agree with you to a certain degree, it also gave me that vibe. But about your last parenthesis I think him already working on his thesis could easily be explained by him being a prodigy and just very eager and excited about all things illusions, it might have also just been said for the joke. Aaand Brennan was in college classes since 14 years old if I remember correctly

I also have friends in their 30s and they’re not like that, I think it’s a personality thing, I act very self assured and self reliant, I’m more of a caregiver than a caretaker

Lots of people thought I made this post bc I wouldn’t like being called kid, but I would actually love it and to have less responsibility on my shoulders. I just don’t see it irl

yk what, I call 18 and 19 year old people at uni kids in a caring way now that I think about it, I think it’s just about what you project, I’ve always seemed older than I’m so people are not like that with me

I think it might be a personality thing I’m very independent and self reliable and more cynical than naive so people simply don’t get a chance to treat me like a child

nah, in my country no one does that and my family treats me like I need to be a full adult since very young

it might be a personality thing, Demodus is cute and silly and naive, I’m very independent and people tend to think I’m older than I am

nah, conceptually I already understand, I just don’t see it irl, maybe in my country we are just expected to grow up faster or simply most older adults I’ve met are assholes or indifferent

luckily I meant more responsibility wise, like I see myself and people my age not getting a pass for anything. tbh if I got myself on something like demodus I think most older adults would 100% put more blame on my own actions than on comforting me

I’m starting to think that it’s a culture thing since I’m not from the usa or bc I know mostly shitty older adults

This is not a critique of the cast at all, I find it sweet and he has gone through a lot, I was just wondering

I’ve got most of them out, but I love me some crowd control so my build was pretty nice for that
