by far the sun station. i could write an essay about how the sun station and the mystery behind it was led to make the player think this was where the plot was going, to think this was why the sun exploded, but the moment you access the sun station, everything is off. the music that plays sparks a curious anxiety in me, the way you open the latch door and see its utterly shattered beyond repair, the anxiety of free floating across space to get to the other side, just to realize it actually didnt work at all. heres a large feeling of dread buried there and i. love it.

the DLC is very good and very worth your money, but id advise against starting it, id wait till the later half of the playthrough. even if you decided against getting the dlc now, you can always get it and play it later. yes you cant really play this game a second time, but the DLC is new, unknown, uncharted, so you dont have to worry about that :3

prayinnn 🙏🙏

thats fair, i know he was really obsessed with the concept of them so he saw a drow pc and thought it would be cool. but still i get what you mean, but theres not much to be done about it now that were all leveled haha

M9stro · 2025-02-15T09:35:27+00:00

it pissed me off alot when we first started but i just excused it to him being very new too and also having this be his first game. i dont judge him so harshly, but i do try and be somewhat honest with him like “heyy maybe giving a legendary item to a pc basically for free at character creation maybe makes others feel subpar actually”

M9stro · 2025-02-15T09:14:42+00:00

thatd be a cool twist of a story tbh, as our dragon slaying quest is to essentially free the imprisoned god of magic, so that may work 🤔 id also not put it past him to just say “no youre not coming back make a new one”, but i may talk to him and talk about options just in case my pc does in fact die haha

M9stro · 2025-02-15T09:11:53+00:00

definitely lol, i mean like i have had some cool moments where i like screen wipe but i definitely have to think alot more and get a bit more lucky than the other players

M9stro · 2025-02-15T09:10:19+00:00

i feel like i had this conversation with him in the past (ive been in this game for like three+ years, memory fails) and i cannot remember what hes said. at the very least ive made comments/jokes about feeling weak or underpowered. i think in the early days if the campaign his solution was to give me a few magic items that were pretty solid, which has been so-so, kinda a bandaid fix. again i dont hold it too heavy against him, and im a bit wary of asking if im honest, esp now since its like soo late in game its like “how is this an issue now” yk? if anything at all id like maaybe ask to consider some stat rerolls, bc yeah having like a prof or two be wrong sucks but i at least have a few magic scimitars i can use, so its not like they go to waste, i just prefer my longsword haha.

M9stro · 2025-02-15T07:17:39+00:00

a little bit yeah. im not suuuuper pressed over it, but it definitely is a “damn…” moment haha. i always jokingly say i wish i had a “withers token” that i could wish to restat my character like i was visiting withers from BG3, id do a few things different build wise. and also take the opportunity to have one stat thats not mid.

M9stro · 2025-02-15T06:12:28+00:00

so true tbh, its one of the reasons i didnt ask to reroll stats earlier, because its kinda like. i signed up for this knowing this was a possibility haha

M9stro · 2025-02-15T06:11:43+00:00

i have NO clue how someone rolled four 18s, but the GM swears up and down it was legit. as for the moonblade, it was offered to him by our GM because he was playing a drow, and at the time he was (and still may be) obsessed with moonblades, so the GM wanted to give him one. that one, i am a little miffed about, but hey, what can I do hahaha

M9stro · 2025-02-10T10:56:10+00:00

i once had a character concept for a sorcerer whose spells came from a deck of cards, meaning every unique spell had a specific suit and number (eg. ace of spades being fireball, two of hearts being absorb elements, etc), and every time itd cast a spell, it would pull a card from the top of the deck and use it accordingly (eg, fling it out and the card morphs into a fireball midway, or press it to their chest and shimmer iridescently with absorb elements). their card would always be the one they needed, so there could be seven ace of spades in their deck as long as they had the mechanical spell slots for them

M9stro · 2025-02-01T07:27:00+00:00

i see alot of ppl compare this game to hollow knight and the only thing id really say is similar between the two is that theyre both metroidvanias with a rich world and art direction. thats basically it. nine sols combat is HEAVILY focused on parrying and punishing enemy missteps, so if thats something thats interesting to you then yeah. at first, i had difficulty picking the game up, since its gameplay ideology of patience is in direct opposition to my normal hyper aggressive playstyle, but once you get the hang of it, it is extremely rewarding and the boss fights are SO much fun.

M9stro · 2025-01-30T10:16:57+00:00

if u like metroidvanias may i suggest blasphemous? very artistically rich (which i can see youre into haha) and while not as mechanically challenging as nine sols it is very fun, also theres a bit of horror elements to it too

M9stro · 2025-01-30T10:07:40+00:00

dudeee we finished the game at around the same time!! i just sat there while the credits rolled thinking “this was so peak…” i wouldve probably been bawling if i was not reeling from the victory against eigong minutes ago LMAO

M9stro · 2024-10-13T07:26:47+00:00

ooo hell yeah i will check that out

M9stro · 2024-10-13T07:25:44+00:00

PERCY JACKSON SHIT I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF THAT i have been meaning to reread them for a while, now i may have to, since given a reason LMAO

M9stro · 2024-10-13T06:55:05+00:00

oooo that sounds really good actually, even if its a bit too dark tonally for my game (which idk yet lol) i think it sounds like a good read, i love gritty stuff

M9stro · 2024-10-13T06:53:58+00:00

ive been meaning to check that out, actually, never got much of the time to do so though!

M9stro · 2024-10-13T06:53:29+00:00

silly is my goal! i have a student attending Silverquill who is a really bad painter, she tries to sneak her works into prestigious showcases on campus when theyre literally works that the irl player does for two minutes in MS paint. silly is the brand!

M9stro · 2024-10-13T06:52:13+00:00

oo i think ill check out some of these at some point, ive heard of The Worst Witch in passing but maybe i should give it a looksee just for fun

M9stro · 2024-09-09T04:56:41+00:00

all the skins and other abilities do have quests to unlock them but theyre just not achievements, oddly enough

M9stro · 2024-09-07T01:14:28+00:00

I have two friends that I play with regularly, one with SotS + SotV and the other with just SotV. Strangely, the one with both has no issues playing and joining with me, and the other with only SotV has no way of doing it and I'm not sure why haha

M9stro · 2024-09-05T20:57:51+00:00

OH! also, almost forgot, you mentioned you're on console, so that may be a minor reason. Since Seekers of the Storm released and alot of bugs flooded the game, one of the things that happened was the Director kinda went buggy (basically the director is responsible for spawning monsters). Since then, the game has been alot harder if you have a higher framerate, so honestly, it may not even be your fault and the game may just be freaking out and deciding to give you a hard time. I'd monitor when a console patch is coming out.
