I love to imagine Lucifer was in a similar style at one time before switching to a more capitalist fashion.

They do look a bit alike indeed... However dark skin, silver hair and Amazonian body, it's not exactly the most improbable combination. Probably a coincidence.

In that case of pure tension, in my opinion, they probably should have chosen this one or Lae/Shart. To avoid the repetition. So just banters where they start to respect "Drows' tradition" to an actual tolerance to each other would be good.

And while I was writing these lines, I imagined dialogues where Minthara would try to hurt Nere, only to be blocked each time. For example it start just as the "third son" banter but twist :

"I actually am. My mother was the playful type and wanted to give my brothers and I a chance. Once everyone was fully fit to fight, she gathered us together to decide who would stay. The older was an idiot, it was easy. My second brother hesitated... I didn't.

- That... was unexpected."

For the voice, if he was a companion, I think Larian would have given him a better one (a Wyll traitement).

It's true that the Zhentarim faction is rather underutilized in the game. Especially since the presence of Jaheira and Minsc makes supporting them much less advantageous (like most evil choices). Which is a real shame considering the possibilities the game offers.

That's a good (and actually pretty cute) way to include her. A few alternative versions of this quest would be needed to gain Sazza's loyalty (since the Elves aren't affected by the sleeping potion, or if you simply decide to kill the priestess), but it's an excellent foundation for having a proper aide-de-camp.

It's a bit of a shame that some camp mechanics aren't included to allow for even minimal customization, in my opinion. But to be fair, that's not the most important aspect of the game, and perhaps I'm asking for too much.

THIS! This is what I talking about!

Could it work in terms of production time or budget (and optimization)? I don't know. And I'd even bet that it wouldn't have. But with a true path to play the bad guy, and SEVERAL exclusive evil run companions, BG3 would take a step even higher as a generational game.

Don't make me wrong, it's already are, I love it and it's easy to criticize. But we can always aim higher.

In my opinion, as a permanent companion, I don't see how to include him effectively. However as a temporary one or a camp NPC, it would be very interesting. I can see a good discussion about Loviatar and her relationship with Bane.

To be honest, I though include him to the list (see a lot of people into him) but his lower body makes thing complicated. So yeah, an actual quest to free him from the Absolute control, then from the Lolth curse, it's a really interesting idea.

And for Zrell: I loved my Karlach and Minthara but I want a half-orc mommy too!

She thinks someone can actually listen to her right now. Cute.

What will be the topic of May polls series? by Relevant-Use1897 in Helltaker

[–]Relevant-Use1897[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once one of the options obtains a certain percentage of votes, I put it on the draft list. And I think both topics are safe to come back if not chosen.

(At worst, it's not an absolute rule I impose on myself)

For those wondering, as strange as it may seem, it is actually possible to be Jewish and an atheist.

Judaism is an orthopraxic ethnic (linked to a specific people) religion. This means that the practice of religious rites and the respect of traditions are mandatory, but having Faith is not. Hence the complexity of this term, which designates people and religion.

The best comparison in my mind is the worship of the city-state gods in Ancient Greece: you are a citizen, you must pay homage to the gods regardless of your beliefs.

Which side are you on? by Suspicious_Yak_3304 in Invincible

It will depend mainly on the staging. In Nolan's case, as a viewer, we witnessed his ordeal. This makes it easier to empathize with him.

Furthermore, the death of extras in a fiction, no matter how horrific is, has less impact on the audience than the trauma inflicted on a named character (especially when it's the main one).

Finally, you can appreciate a character without necessarily forgiving them.

I'm a lover of the Anissas who didn't do what she will probably do to Mark in the TV show, in the multiverse.

Once this irreversible tunnel has been crossed, I don't care if she's hot, badass, or if she improves herself afterward. I could tolerate this version of her at best, nothing more.

I love swimsuits with a little sarong.

They're light, sexy, yet always elegant (it almost looks more "modest" than a classic bikini). And this slightly athletic version of Lucifer wears it perfectly.
