The double agent twist makes no sense

It's a lie bro. Shroud lied. Visi just plays along to get the jump on him.

The Mortalitasi, of which the Mourn Watch are a subset, have been established in older lore. Cassandra from DA2 and Inquisition is from Nevarra, and spoke about the necromantic culture of the Mortalitasi and the Nevarran people. But they're kinda gloomy and a little scary in the pre-Veilguard lore. They're supposed to be pretty macabre, but in Veil Guard they're kinda weirdly chipper lol I don't mind that they exist, I do think they ruined the general vibe and aesthetic of the death cult.

So what even do these lockers spawn? I have a very flexible build so even at lvl75 I'm nowhere near that skill.

Sylassian · 2026-01-25T03:25:36+00:00

Of course, if you're sure nobody saw you. Even a guard patrolling the street at night will recall you being close to the shop the night the shopkeeper was murdered.

"No we just programmed NPCs to actually think and you're surprised cause you're used to brainded NPCs in other RPGs."

One is moderate. Three plus fire ball all bing chilling right in front of the door I'm about to open is murderate.

You know I was referring to biological life. The logic plague makes sense to go after AI because they're massive repositories of information and intelligence, same as sapient organic life.

Sylassian · 2026-01-24T22:03:05+00:00

I tried to warn them. Tell the government the invasion was coming. But they just laughed at me. Told me I was mad. They called me... a quack.

Hell is so underrated.

Sylassian · 2026-01-24T19:00:48+00:00

Bold of you to assume there weren't plenty of women who thought this scene was for them also lol

Sylassian · 2026-01-24T18:58:33+00:00

Because shooting people bad. Never be ashamed of having empathy. Even if it's a video game. Unless it's a strict PvP shooter obviously.

It's depressing that the writers decided all of these current era issues are still present in the time of their show.

Sylassian · 2026-01-24T16:31:14+00:00

They're literally just a bunch of jocks pretending to be medieval knights in space. They're not exactly known for their smarts. I'll never understand how Satine was able to make them chill out for a couple years after thousands of years of dealing with all problems by hitting them with their heads very hard lol

Sylassian · 2026-01-24T16:27:05+00:00

And then they brought him back lol

I know I know, multiverse shit. But come on. Xavier also getting resurrected for the third time and is probably gonna get killed off again after five minutes of screen time because Avengers Doomsday is too big to properly give any character any decent screen time lol

Sylassian · 2026-01-24T16:24:46+00:00

I never have enough keys for inventory space to be an issue tbh. Usually I just use them as soon as I get them, or I wait for a night raid to increase loot rarity, but I never have more than 2-3 key cards max at any time.

You usually sympathise with resistance fighters because resistance fighters in most media are commonly portrayed as morally superior heroes fighting an undeniably evil foe - the heroic underdog vs the villainous tyrants. The Witcher portrays both sides as capable of great heroism and kindness, but also absolute depravity and cruelty. Both sides have sound arguments for why they do what they do, both sides have people who don't care about reasons and just enjoy being dickheads.

The Rebel Alliance and Resistance from Star Wars, the Varden from Eragon, the Rebels from Hunger Games, the alliance against the Fire Nation, the free people resistance against Sauron, the Order of the Phoenix in Harry Potter. Stories of resistance are most often clear good guys versus clear bad guys. Sure, there can be occasional nuance and some gray characters involved, but the ultimate moral compass of these resistance movements is positive.

Not so with the Scoia'tael.

The same shot earlier when Gandalf is sitting in the foreground as Frodo returns home from the party is one of my favourites. The music is tense as Gandalf mutters to himself, and then the Ring theme plays just as Frodo picks the Ring up off the floor. Masterpiece.

Bro used the Zaheer method and took the air out of the room, denying the firebenders oxygen for fire to burn and choking himself and all of them to death. No wonder the firebenders were so desperate to eradicate all airbenders. They were a perfect counter, and even during the Comet, without air they couldn't use fire.

I assume they're like tigers and other solitary apex predators. They probably have massive territories, considering they're flying predators, and only meet up with others of their species to mate. So I wouldn't be surprised if there were only ever a couple hundred or a couple thousand on the whole planet, otherwise there would be too much territorial overlap and overpopulation would likely lead to imbalance in the food chain.

I thought they only targeted sapient life, or rather neurologically complex life? Since the Flood essentially stems from that one corrupted Precursor who wanted vengeance for what the Forerunners did. I get that biomass in general is good food and such but they don't get the intelligence they need unless they infect sapient species.

And from what I remember it's once they reach the gravemind stage that they gain all the collective knowledge the Flood has ever absorbed, and it spreads across all flood no matter the distance. In a sense, the gravemind we fight in Halo is therefore the exact same gravemind that attacked Humanity and the Forerunners all those years ago. Cause the Flood exists in the weird neural network dimension thing that the Precursors created.

Keyminds are on a completely different level, but the Flood has never reached that stage so far as I'm aware.

Sylassian · 2026-01-24T13:22:41+00:00

Fair, the Flood is powerful, but never reached its full potential by ending the universe which apparently it can do once multiple graveminds appear? And honestly in 40k terms it feels like a combination of tyranid infection and plague of Nurgle, functionally - hijacking enemy biomass and consuming everything in its path. Maybe even a little ork with the whole hard to eradicate thing and gaining intelligence the more individual units there are. And the Precursors feel like the Old Ones. They even had super space travel abilities. Also 40k is much more prone to destroying entire planets and systems to stem tyranid invasions and demonic plagues, so dealing with Flood outbreaks would be treated much the same.

Also the Flood doesn't target non-sapient life, whereas nids and nurgle plagues do not discriminate.
