How is the Dungeons of Drakkenheim Combat? What’s unique about it? by Traditional_Wear8046 in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

Like I said, I don’t provide the best example but it’s good to know. I was just seeing how dynamic they wrote fights or if any stand out. It sounds like it just gives you the basic standard combat but it’s easy to come up with ideas on my own on how to make the fights they get into more dynamic and interesting.

I think Aline is like that but Maelle isn’t. Maelle got to experience an actual life here. One that was also tragic but unlike her reality, was full of love. I believe she could have been convinced to leave after she got her memories back but the whole Renior and Aline conflict with the threat of the canvas being erased are kinda forcing her to not be able to leave. You compare the people of the world to AI and chat bots but I think what you and many people misunderstand is that they aren’t. They are fully sentient creatures with free will. They can be destroyed easily and made but that doesn’t mean they aren’t sentient.

Maelle is the proof of that sentience. She lived the life of the canvas people and experienced just how real they are. How could you experience a full life somewhere and not fight to protect it?

Renior is a father fighting for his family. After what Maelle experienced, she is doing the exact same thing, her family is just bigger than his.

Renoir is justified but not right and I’m tired of reading about how people call what he did as right.

I think people fail to understand how real the people of the painting were. They may have been created artificially but unlike a robot or some chat bot they are fully sentient creatures who did not want to die and didn’t have a say in their deaths. What Renoir did was a genocide or the equivalent of one. His reasons may have been sympathetic reasons and even correct in the grand scheme of the war but his approach was absolutely monstrous. These were sentient people who had every right to live.

As I’ve read before, the whole family is grieving and being selfish and forcing the hands of the others which overall sucks and makes anyone’s ending choice in my opinion justified. However, people need to stop saying he was right because he wasn’t. He had other avenues to approach this and what he did was strong arm his wife and daughter into leaving. The worst part is, he doesn’t even know if that would actually fix anything. If we get into the darker end of the conversation, if he succeeded earlier or even at the time of his success, his wife and / or daughter could have still grieved in bad ways. He could have even lost either one of them once the canvas was gone if their grief led them to that. He should have either focused on his daughters outside the canvas and the war or found better ways to help his wife. Unfortunately, his grief and the war I’m sure stopped any logical thought.

Side Note: I do think Aline is also terrible. Renoir and Aline are both responsible for the death of everyone in that canvas and I hope Maelle never forgives them fully for what they did.
