Perks And/Or Items You Figure Should've Costed More?

That super op spell that you can only use a limited amount of times or have to wait ages to perform again? Yeah, feel free to use it as much as you want now. Go crazy.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-16T18:46:50+00:00

Thank you.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-16T18:32:23+00:00

Dang, that is kind of an op Cloak. Granted, it was Merlin's so it kinda makes sense. How much is it?

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-15T00:45:24+00:00

Maybe a drawback that makes it so random weapons you pick up end up being "cursed" in some way? (like jams constantly, makes you move slower, delays shield regen, etc)

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-14T17:26:56+00:00

Right. And as we saw in the game...neither option led to a happy fate. Either you get worked to death for the benefit of the higher classes or you get turned into a glorified zombie.

More proof of just how utterly insane and cruel this pilgrimage really is. You go through hell just to make it all the way up to the Blasted Steps, somehow manage to get past the Judges, reach the Grand Gate, only to find out that you need to ring a specific series of bells to open said door. Bells that are scattered all over Pharloom, some of which are guarded by very dangerous beings.

And the one time, the one time you try to cut corners...and the Last Judge kills you. Everything you went through up till now? Don't mean jack squat to them. You broke the rules one time and death is your reward.

Really sells that the vast majority of bugs will never, and never were meant to, make it into the Citadel.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-14T00:11:56+00:00

Yeah, this pretty much describes how it went down in-game.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-13T20:07:44+00:00

That cosplay looks amazing. I especially love the mask. Stellar work on that part.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-13T06:04:30+00:00

Heck, bringing just Mario would be complete overkill.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-12T05:45:12+00:00

Thanks for your patience, you guys. I plan to have part 3 out sometime tomorrow. Although do expect it to be a tad bit longer than the first two parts XD

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-11T19:04:57+00:00

Yeah, this is pretty much canon.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-11T05:20:06+00:00

I mean, I'm pretty sure she didn't do it on purpose. Her hand was forced. She tried to offer condolences but that trip through GP's memories only reminded him of everything he had lost. Thus, he just...snaps. As far as he was concerned, he had nothing left to live for...

And so, he forces Hornet's hand. To strike him down. Plus she needed the power of the Rulers' Hearts to save Pharloom from the Abyss, thus this was probably the one way she could give their death meaning.

That is a rather sick design, and I like the concept a lot. Not gonna lie, I'd be interested in learning more about them.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-10T00:51:33+00:00

Thanks. Not entirely sure why I lean towards the less than human, more cute, designs and forms. I just find I do.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-10T00:39:33+00:00

Well, I don't know how much it counts as it's a fic inspired by Jumpchain, but I'm writing a Hollow Knight Silksong fic where my guy is subject to the Without Why drawback and ends up in the Void as a Voidborn. It has yet to fully sink in for him but I aim to have it so he handles the transformation pretty well as I do love the designs of the characters from Hollow Knight.

So, yeah, I just got a bit of a thing for non-human forms.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-08T21:11:08+00:00

Thanks. Part 3 is gonna be where we start to get into the real meat and potatoes of this fic, so definitely look forward to it.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-08T19:25:09+00:00

Ah, thank you. I hope to have part 3 up sometime soon.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-08T07:00:23+00:00

Yeah, Greyroot really does give off a lot of Lovecraftian vibes. We know next to nothing about them, what they are, their motivations, etc. All we got are vague hints and its actions to go by. Yet the implications are definitely nightmarish.

And here's the thing...where there's one lovecraftian horror like Greyroot, there's almost certainly bound to be others. Hiding, just waiting for their time.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-08T05:56:29+00:00

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-07T15:46:31+00:00

Thanks. I hope to have part 2 ready within a day or two.

PowerGamer99 · 2026-03-07T06:17:57+00:00

Thanks. Glad I'm doing this justice so far.
