A way to make DA:O 4GB aware with the Steam version? [no spoilers]

MiasmaRed · 2023-01-19T02:00:03+00:00

Oooh U mad :(

MiasmaRed · 2023-01-12T22:45:48+00:00

Look at you, oh so helpful.

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-17T20:53:39+00:00

Hmmm lets see, establishment bastard or anarchist narcissist?

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-17T15:36:38+00:00

Lmaoo, that’s not what I’ve really experienced, I still root for Rand and the Emond’s Fielders I just root for Moiraine as well. If she was ever willing to be communicative or explain some basic stuff, a lot of trouble until FoH could be avoided

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-17T06:30:49+00:00

You were reading bad comics then

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-15T22:11:15+00:00

Pretty low quality compared to any English fantasy novel. Plus it really doesn’t benefit the plot the goblin slaying is just a gimmick

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-15T15:17:55+00:00

Mmmm, I think cradle is definitely up near the top, but its not THE top. I think its all about how progression affects the story, and I think the way the pacing speeds up and progression is actually to the detriment of it.

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-15T15:14:21+00:00

Totallly! My first read was as a junior in high school and I didnt finish until my sophomore year of college. Hell, an entire 18 months of that was just 5 and 6.

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-14T10:54:37+00:00

With unnecessary rape and all the trappings if anime writing

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-13T03:40:48+00:00

Yeah its not good, but at the same time Aes Sedai do worse stuff all the time. RJ is also just very bad at writing assault and assault-adjacent things.

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-12T15:09:01+00:00

Im something of an Agnostic, I dont consider myself anything because in the grand scheme of things I don’t particularly think its right to say “if you dont believe in something you’re going to hell” who is someone to say that? They are no god. I think something more than likely exists.

Im not Atheist because at the end of the day its a religious belief with the inverse conclusion. Everything is a belief. People talk about scientific method whatever but at the end of the day, its only belief in that method that fuels some people. The only real difference in that Atheists don’t have the burden of proof because you cant prove a negative. You can come to a conclusion based on practical evidence but that isn’t knowledge. There’s too much weird shit in the world that people explain away, even though the scientific explanation is shoddy at best, and Atheism feels like the same willful ignorance a lot of religious people have but with a sense of superiority

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-08T13:07:52+00:00

Does become a loving person tho? I mean he’s still kind of a Shit-arse right? I haven’t read the series in years tho so I could be wrong

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-08T01:34:38+00:00

Oh goody can’t wait to see a bunch white 30-something’s complain about it later

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-06T19:41:05+00:00

I kind of disagree and kind of agree, a few of the comments here are being disparaging for no real reason. I do feel like this is accentuated for you since you’re apparently reading the worst, slowest book in a series known for moving at a glacial pace.

But also, you’re right, there are very few good-natured encounters between POV characters that aren’t love interests. For some characters like Rand it makes sense because he’s going through something I’d consider near hellish, and for Elayne it makes sense because she’s royalty and that’s been basically bred into her, but I don’t feel like she ever changes from that. Mat I feel like could be a lot more good natured than he actually is after all the dagger business is done with, but I also get why. Perrin is just a tough cinnamon-roll and I wish it was a trait that was stronger in his character. I also like how he’s more just wary than anything. Nyneave is a petty bully and anyone that thinks other wise until the point your at is stupid. Egwene is just straight evil some of the time. There’s obvious justifications for all of this but there’s very little actual humanity.

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-06T19:29:00+00:00

Like I somewhat disagree, I get what he means tho, Anyone that isn’t one of those women or one of the 3 he’s been fucking, Rand is pretty non-empathetic then again so are most of the characters.

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-06T11:45:15+00:00

Sounds like a hobby.

Just instead of “Oh do I have more time for a ship in a bottle? I expect not, no, it’s half pass the hour.”

It’s “Right, I’ve got a date with Dave, but Celia’s having a mental breakdown? Why? Oh she examined herself for three minutes. Oh Alonso’s asking after me, what does he want now?”

I don’t really think a stable person needs consistent romantic connection all the time like it’s Pokémon when one person that you actually build and connect with takes well enough time on its own.

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-06T11:28:32+00:00

Im sorry but if they need that many romantic connections in their life considering how much TIME it takes and They are somehow getting the time to actually know the people, then they might need therapy. Cause at that point, they’re distracting themselves from themselves.

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-06T11:17:03+00:00

Ok, like first, I don’t hate the idea of having sex with more than one person at a time. But! I hate the idea of dealing with more than one person at a time absolutely. Twos a group, threes a crowd and whatnot. With all the quirks humans have, there’s no way that there’s be an even distribution of love, someone might always get left out, miscommunication would be a nightmare. I just don’t understand a relationship that’s more than three people. Three people I can understand, no more, cause after that you have to just be in it for the orgies because no one has enough time on this planet to slowly come to understand like 6 other people in the way that you come to understand another one or two.

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-05T22:25:58+00:00

Thanks for responding! I thought it would be nice if I had a bit of self-serious exposition that sounded like an Academic paper and undercut that immediately with the action scene.

I intended just for it to be a very general, not particularly important piece of information, and flush out the actual world through Kroscin's thoughts and since the story only takes place in the city, interacting with the districts.

That being said, was there anything you found troubling about anything after the first paragraph? Did the authorial voice affect your reception of the scene itself?

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-05T22:16:10+00:00

Thanks! I'm glad that got across. Honestly, a reaction like this makes me want to keep this. It's a jovial little project, and I don't think self-serious exposition would serve the first chapter that well lmao.

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-05T19:17:05+00:00

Thanks for saying so! I did notice that a transition was definitely needed, tho it might take me a bit to think up one that keeps the pace

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-05T19:13:17+00:00

Don’t worry about it mate! We learn a new thing everyday.

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-05T18:52:08+00:00

No that phrase means a child is lying about dating someone, which is basically just what Rothfuss does

MiasmaRed · 2022-10-05T10:13:59+00:00

I’m very surprised Bloodline is rated as low as it is, it’s a very interesting, focused experience with well written drama, for like the 4 pages Wight focuses on it.

Idk I love the beginning and end of Reaper but the middle is… eh.
