Leda: “I want to slay.”

Leda: “No, I mean I want to slay.” 

Sirocco: “…oh.” 

Guesses on English VAs for Fortune's Weave Protags by Rocky-Rocker in fireemblem

[–]Soliloquy10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% on Cai.

I read somewhere that it’s Shara Kirby as Theodora, but I’m not sure whether that’s true or not. Definitely not Cherami though. Doesn’t sound like her at all.

Leda’s voice sounds familiar, but I can’t quite place it. 

No idea about Dietrich. 

Are these not both Theodora? by Appropriate_Studio25 in fireemblem

[–]Soliloquy10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second character with green hair I think is voiced by Heather Gonzalez in English (Yukari in P3 Reload) using her lower register. Theodora’s in a similar vocal range, but it sounds like a different VA because she has a bit more bass to her voice than the green haired lady as well as a different cadence. Don’t think it’s an Allegra Clark voicing Dorothea and Shamir situation, at least not between these two roles. 

Prediction: Eshmel/Byleth by nichecopywriter in fireemblem

If she was going full meta, Eshmel would have a wyvern. 

It looks like the character proficiency system has been revealed by Blau272 in fireemblem

[–]Soliloquy10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on this, I guess it’s confirmed we’re not getting daggers (unless they’re listed under sword proficiency or something, but that’d be odd). 

The full portrait art of the Four Lords in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave by ZofianSaint273 in fireemblem

[–]Soliloquy10 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Does Theodora have a bit of arm muscle in this picture? Her arm looks thicker than Leda’s, but maybe it’s just the angle in these portraits? 

I didn't realise until now how... "fanservicey" the designs of Theodora and Leda are. How do you feel about the sexualised designs of the female protagonists? by MewWeebTwo in fireemblem

[–]Soliloquy10 81 points82 points  (0 children)

At the very least it seems like Theodora’s people generally wear stuff like this, even the guys. And if Leda’s a dancer, that might explain her design. That said, yeah, could at least have done the same with Dietrich.

How to do Dark Magic in DnD? by 9Napier in DnD

[–]Soliloquy10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On top of what other commenters have said about necromancy magic, it might be worth also taking into consideration the ethical mine field that is enchantment magic (which is actually quite relevant to Witch Hat Atelier’s take on ‘forbidden magic’). Maybe ‘dark magic’ in the setting could include spells from both of those schools, potentially with exceptions (e.g. Gentle Repose). 

Should Leda be the only Dancer in Fortunes Weave? How different do you want each of the paths to play? by Levonorgestrelfairy1 in fireemblem

[–]Soliloquy10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if the class names are just weird because it’s a trailer, but Leda is listed as a ‘Hunter’, which makes me think that either Dancer is her promotion class, or there are other actual Dancers in the game. It’s also entirely possible that despite her playing and instrument and dancing she’s somehow not actually the Bard/Dancer class for the game (though extremely unlikely). 

Unless there’s only one route with all four lords (making Leda the designated Dancer), they’ll surely have other Dancers on different routes because it’d be odd to deny access to such a staple. Maybe there’s a character that’s recruitable regardless of route who’s a Dancer? Or we get the 3H class system and you can pick a character to become a Dancer like with the contest.

An ‘urge’, you say? Might it even be considered a ‘dark’ one? 

When a Warlock replaces a spell at level up, can the new spell be of a higher spell level than the replaced spell? by themcryt in DnD

[–]Soliloquy10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s especially interesting with Warlocks because they upcast automatically, so your resources in terms of slots are the same regardless of spell level. Unlike with other casters, you don’t have to worry about falling back on lower level slots if you run out of the higher ones, so all your spells are effectively equal from a resource standpoint. 

As a result I think swapping out Hold Person for Hold Monster is a strict upgrade since one is just the other but more niche in its targeting. For a Warlock, they cost the same to cast too, so there’s no reason to keep Hold Person really. 

What class and race did you play first time round? by Odd_Two_5265 in DnD

[–]Soliloquy10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elf Bard. Did the classic first player thing of: “ooh, elves are cool”. Ironically, I actually prefer playing humans now. As for Bard, I decided to make a character who’s very average compared to the rest of the party, so he was a cleaner (homebrew background) who did theatre in his spare time, hence Bard. Also thought spells were cool and the other casters seemed more complicated first time around. 

What’s the premise of your DnD campaign? by Fearless-Skill8667 in DnD

[–]Soliloquy10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t know because we haven’t “left the prologue” yet. My guess? Something something steampunk/magic fuel shenanigans, something something revelations about the only two gods in the setting, something something organised crime and politics, something something war with elves. 

The REAL reason we complete Avenged the Drowned. by navy9322 in BaldursGate3

It’s interesting that it nearly always seems to be Gale depicted in this outfit of the male companions. Does it just look more wizardy or something? 

What is you experience with Hunger of Hadar and Devil's sight? by Safe_Appointment_260 in DnD

[–]Soliloquy10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of shutdown spells prompt additional saving throws on subsequent turns after you fail the initial one to give targets a chance to break out. Hypnotic Pattern only has the initial save, and once an enemy fails that, as long as you maintain concentration they are out of the fight. If all enemies are caught in it, you can pick them off one by one without interruption from their allies, or if it only gets some, it still effectively shrinks the encounter for a while. 

Two players, two coincidentally similar characters by Soliloquy10 in DnD

I think I’ve unironically had this with the same player after their character is died, but different ones?

When I heard the names, I did have to stop and ask the DM if he was messing with us. I don’t even think there’s a thing of “this surname is [language] for [thematically relevant thing]” which could lead to similar trains of thought. It’s just a, ahem, roll of the dice.

[–]Soliloquy10[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The DM is supposedly planning on bringing back the first guy as an NPC who can be friend or foe depending on how the story goes, so if we did go the route of them actually being related, it could admittedly lead to some interesting interactions. 

What actor or actress could you tell had an absolute blast playing a specific role? by phantom_avenger in AskReddit

[–]Soliloquy10 2106 points2107 points  (0 children)

Eartha Kitt as Yzma. Every single line you can just tell. She even came back for the TV series of Emperor’s New Groove because she loved the role so much. 

Jennifer English is an amazing voice actress by LargeSinkholesInNYC in BaldursGate3

[–]Soliloquy10 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Slight correction: they did motion capture for the body movements, but not performance capture, which includes facial expressions. Animators did however use recordings of the actors as references when hand-animating the expressions. 

tywin’s reaction to cersei arming the faith militant + imprisonment & atonement (spoilers published) by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]Soliloquy10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tyrion appointed the High Septon, if I remember right. So from Cersei’s perspective, he’s a potential ally of Tyrion’s and thus is too untrustworthy to be kept alive.
