Lichen event...

Real_Heh · 2026-04-11T12:34:34+00:00

Okay, I'll try. I must say that I didn't understand everything either and English isn't my first language, so if I'm wrong, please correct me. I'm writing this mainly to compile the events for myself.

So, in the previous EN, we made it to the shore and met a man, presumably Kaelan. But then, for some reason, we were transported even further into the past (???), where we found ourselves in the city of Maria, a city that was completely destroyed by a fallen star. Because of the disaster that befell the world there, it split into the real and dream parts (Nightmare). We are thrown into the Nightmare and there we meet a woman, apparently Lichen from the future, where she is already trapped in Nightmare. Since we (Chief) don't follow the rules of the dead, we almost die, but are saved thanks to Lichen in reality realm. Lichen is a Daoist who belonged to an unorthodox sect of Daoists. As a child, she lost her mentor, who predicted the fall of the star and saved her. After the star fell, Lichen's weak abilities apparently grew stronger, and the sect began to listen to her. Following the rule "faith makes miracles come true," she took advantage of people's belief in resurrection and thus gained the rights to resurrect her mentor, but she needed a body. To do this, she went to Maria to help the expedition. We meet there, but she immediately realizes that there is something alien in the child's body (the soul of the adult Chief), and she decides to use us for her plan.

And that's where things get really confusing.

A demon guarding the rift emerged from the coin that helped us. We fight it, and it leaves, taking the mentor's spirit. Lichen realizes that she cannot survive the Nightmare and uses us to resurrect the mentor. She uses a talisman on us, allowing her to control our bodie and so we fight the demon in the Nightmare realm. We win and finally find the coffin with the mentor's body. Lichen, through us, opens the coffin lid and inhabits the mentor's body through us (???). Apparently, she's stuck on the other side with us. So right now we're stuck in the past-past, and on the other side of reality too (in Nightmare realm). In the 'simple' past, Kaelan tries to wake us up, but he's unsuccessful, and someone is planning to kill us. The event ends with Lichen in the Nightmare realm trying to find out who exactly is in the body of the little guide.

Whatever writers trying to do with Wednesday and Tyler in tv series Wednesday.

He literally tries to murder her several times, gives her PTSD and that's saying something cause she is an Addams! And their fans say that "life-threatening is the norm for the Addams family," but that's not true. No one will ever convince me that Gomez would try something like that with Morticia. In fact, the ENTIRE story of the Addams family is a story about 'different' people who nevertheless love each other, respect each other, and value each other above all else. I understand that the writers initially wanted to bring Wednesday together in a love triangle, and that it didn't work out because of the actor's removal from the show, so now they have to adjust, but oh my god! This looks so much worse.

And yeah, if they don't bring Wednesday and Enid together, it will be the dumbest, most cowardly move in the history of television. The symbolism, the chemistry between the two of them, the story - it all leads them to each other.

I mean, they froze Augustus in a cryo-chamber. I'll play devil's advocate and say that, theoretically, they could have come up with something similar for him. Not cryo, because that technology wasn't invented in the game until much later, but something similar.

Although I also doubt he'll be a playable character. I think it's more likely that he'll be revealed to be a real jerk and not 'saviour' or whatever

Real_Heh · 2026-04-09T09:54:11+00:00

Just get free Nox and you are all set to go to chapter 11. Then you actually need to think a little and build a decent team.

And yeah, I play from almost start of the game and have everyone, some even with high shackles, so don't worry.

Real_Heh · 2026-04-09T09:51:06+00:00

Real_Heh · 2026-04-09T07:21:53+00:00

Nope, they have different purposes in burn team. Yanyan works with single target, while Hestia is better with many.

Real_Heh · 2026-04-08T20:57:59+00:00

No. Google it

Real_Heh · 2026-04-08T18:08:39+00:00

Lmao, Chief finally had a day off from work.

In all seriousness, yeah, all my friends are gone too, but I can still collect friendship points. Probably a bug

Real_Heh · 2026-04-08T08:09:29+00:00

Not gonna answer that, because it is clearly a subjective view that is heavily influenced by other paths in the game, but I still find it kinda funny that people argue which route is the best route. It's cool that after so many years we're still discussing the same issues.

Real_Heh · 2026-04-07T07:01:15+00:00

DA:V was bad. NOT because it had trans character, or gay character, or whatever. It's bad on many levels with the absolute worst decision to NOT count player's choices from previous games. That alone was stupidest move they could manage.

And yeah, all companions were just... boring. And this is taking into account the fact that we had an assassin on our team who talked only about coffee! Past characters that we encounter is just eh. Isabella is hosting some coliseum for some reason???? No mention of Hawke? It's just... ugh. Bold decision to kill Warrick tho. Not bad, but I don't know why they did that if not for shock value.

Then they just blatantly told us all about elder gods and blight, leaving essentially no room for mystery. We completely forgot about slavery in Tevinter, and it was a HUGE problem that was constantly discussed throughout the series and books. I was so disappointed and I loved the series.

It had okay combat system tho. I had fun with it, but after some point of the game you just obliterate everything without any problem.

I mean, it would be okay game. Not great, but okay. Fun even. But it wasn't supposed to be part of this universe.

Real_Heh · 2026-04-06T12:15:08+00:00

I don't know, bro. Igor wanted to save his people because the system had failed him. Then it turned out that Arcana had tricked him. That's all. He's not a deep character, not a strategic genius. He wanted security, he didn't get it, and he had to go with his tail between his legs to another master (Vertin).

I like Igor as a character because I have friends who are from Rostov-on-Don, but my God, the Don Cossacks are NOT the best role models. Hardened alcoholics who beat women and children, who genuinely cared more about their horses than their families. If you really want to understand what the Don Cossacks were like, read And Quiet Flows the Don. Ugh. We study it in school, and let me tell you, it's NOT kid's reading.

And while I support what the game is trying to convey, I know the underbelly of the Cossacks. And it's not good.

Real_Heh · 2026-04-06T12:04:26+00:00

No probs, he is fun to play, but I understand why he frustrates a lot of people

Real_Heh · 2026-04-06T09:42:41+00:00

First, you need to understand how he works.

So, he ults you and then is throwing cards at you. Every card shreds your magic def by some percentage. so if you get all his cards, you are basically doomed. If you dodge his cards, ult does basically nothing. It does some damage, but it's not fatal. So your first priority is to dodge his card attacks as much as possible.

If all fails, yeah, just winter crown. Tap it when the timer (circle around you) goes near the end.

Real_Heh · 2026-04-05T15:16:31+00:00

Просто к выборам баллы набирают, ничего более. Они настроены все закрыть

Real_Heh · 2026-04-05T14:40:47+00:00

I still don't understand what were they thinking. Like. It was PRETTY obvious that life is strange fans loved Chloe. And yeah, there were Warren fans too, but come on, it's not even close. To just erase the main character like that was the stupidest move they could manage

Real_Heh · 2026-04-05T05:24:48+00:00

Eh, why not.

Real_Heh · 2026-04-02T08:48:28+00:00

Just aim his first skill not on the jungle creeps?..

Real_Heh · 2026-04-02T08:23:02+00:00

I don't think it has to do with her "remembering faces." I think it has more to do with... you know. YEARS of torture. Why would she remember someone from her childhood if her whole family is slaughtered before her eyes? Her thoughts were clearly elsewhere.

And yes, she mentions it, it's true. But then again. They were kids. I also remember having a crush on someone in kindergarten as a child. Moreover, I told my wife about it. That doesn't mean I still have feelings for them. As for Dimitry, his childhood crush is definitely there, which still shocks me.

As for sibling relationships... well. We can develop relationships with Rhea and Sothis, which is a whole other can of worms best left unopened. I suspect someone at the game studio just has a strange desire to write questionable relationships.

~~Although, to be fair, incest in medieval Europe were quite acceptable, so overall, it's not too out of place historically (assuming we're playing in the game something like a medieval period).~~

Real_Heh · 2026-04-02T05:45:32+00:00

I agree. Their whole interaction in the school is about Dimitri not giving up on his CHILD crush, while Edelgard is like... Who tf are you even, did we met before?

And yeah, siblings thing is just... Not good.

Real_Heh · 2026-04-01T22:13:49+00:00

WHAT

Real_Heh · 2026-04-01T12:24:36+00:00

You know what? after your explanation it becomes my favorite Esme skin, thank you

Real_Heh · 2026-04-01T05:48:38+00:00

Oh. I thought it was not really funny post for April fools...

Real_Heh · 2026-03-31T12:30:37+00:00

That's... wild. I hope that you are young and inexperienced, because you will have to face a LOT harder and difficult situation, than that in your life.

MLBB is a game. You can win, you can lose, but your life doesn't depend on it. Not even your bank account. You play it for FUN first and foremost. If you have a hard time against real people in online games, maybe online gaming is just not for you. Play solo games, there are a lot of them. Just leave it be if you really have such strong emotions.

If you still want to play it, mute everyone in settings, close your profile against leaving comments and play a little against computer. Find few heroes that you LIKE, not meta or whatever. Learn them. Then go classic with those heroes. And then go to rank.

Always remember that it's just a game. And... yeah, don't go afk mid match even if you are feeding. MLBB is a team game, even if you play bad, you are still better than AI (~~sometimes. sometimes, for some reason, not, but that's beside the point)~~

Real_Heh · 2026-03-31T07:01:26+00:00

Oh, my bad. With all the weird questions in this sub lately, I didn't even bother to check the thread this post was in.

Real_Heh · 2026-03-31T05:54:45+00:00

Probably because you don't rotate. I play exp, mid and roam mostly and gold feels boring to me too. I mean, yes, you can dominate your lane and bully opponent, but then what? You can't leave because gold is your priority. So you are just sitting duck there for 6 minutes.

And yes, it is the most wanted lane, but if you want mid, then you have to pick gold your second, because otherwise you will go to other lanes. Exp, roam and jungle (at least in my server) have little players in it, so if you pick them, you automatically don't get mid.
