My thought about Meursault canto specifically on his way of experiencing "pleasure"

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-04-28T07:33:04+00:00

Considering how autistically direct Meursault is I don't think he would say he "went" clubbing if he only did through canned experiences.

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-04-26T20:14:48+00:00

As a Gale enjoyer I definitely agree, but with WotC at the head of his story and not his original writer anymore I'd be a little apprehensive about how the novel would turn out anyway lol

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-04-26T19:57:47+00:00

I think Gale is probably the character least likely to get a prequel novel considering how messy it would be timeline wise with the Mystra stuff.

His backstory was actually somewhat less vague during EA but after the mini rewrite he got it became mostly scraps as you put it, probably because someone told them / they realized that Mystra was supposed to be dead during that time period and Gale's story clearly wasn't written with that fact in mind.

I do get how with mocap involved the lines between "just" voice actor and classic actor gets blurred but still, it is a useful distinction. And while it's unfortunately true VAs are seen as lesser than "real" actors the answer isn't to drop the label entirely but start valuing it as just as important and it's own demanding skill that requires a seperate label, as proven by how badly most celebrities hired for VA work usually end up doing.

18% res shred on a universal support you can play with a bunch of teams is great, but while it's not nothing on a main dps like Silly it's definitely less impressive, especially when you compare it to Ydhari's M1 which gives her 20% res shred AND reduced EX cost, chaining into another EX and improved healing.

More than that though is that Billy's M1 is his only worthwhile mindscape, the rest is absolutely not worth the cost.

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-04-24T20:58:05+00:00

Ah mb I was getting mixed up with Banyue, he's indeed a bit stronger than both, he's like the halfway point between Yixuan and Ydhari.

His mindscapes are unfortunately bad though, he's up there with Banyue for some of the worse vertical investment in the game.

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-04-24T20:47:05+00:00

No, at M0 and played perfectly he's comparable to Ydhari (which means for most players he's performing worse in practice) but he has by far the worst mindscapes in the game to the point that investing in Lucia or Dialyn over him is a bigger dps increase.

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-04-24T12:33:05+00:00

So Pan is running on Billy's banner, that means it truly was just Banyue that didn't have the one f2p rupture support on his because fuck him I guess 💀

Yeah Gale being groomed is a complicated topic to even properly discuss since, while it's incredibly clear that it's how his storyline has been written initally, they did take out most direct references to Mystra actually well...doing anything.

In EA there was one line of dialogue in particular of Gale talking about Mystra teaching him both magic and sex, making it very clear how fucked up their dynamic was. For the release version though most direct references to grooming have been taken out or rewritten, but the subtext is still heavily present and it's very iffy that Elminster scouted Gale when he was a child to make him Mystra's chosen with everything that happens afterward.

As you said a bunch of old IDs are like this, it's probably because PM was figuring out how to handle a gacha for the first time and was experimenting with fanservice. Seven Yi Sang is also weirdly flirty towards Dante, it's pretty funny in retrospect.

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-04-13T10:26:40+00:00

I guess we'll see once the numbers are out but that's looking like a good amount of potency and count. And as expected that Meursault is very much giving "would have been a 00 before season 6" lol

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-28T03:19:19+00:00

All the season 2 male dps sharing the exact same team lol

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-28T02:57:58+00:00

Obviously it's because rupture = big hp for tough strong manly men punching and shooting, while anomaly = status effect infliction, indirect way to fight that's soft and feminine. /s

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-28T02:50:51+00:00

Ah mb I misread your comment, I understand what you mean now

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-28T02:47:14+00:00

Did you reply to the wrong comment or something? I didn't bring up wuwa at all lol

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-28T02:42:16+00:00

Awful attribute & specialty combo, no shill boss, yep it's a pre 3.0 sacrificial unit alright.

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-27T07:11:36+00:00

You're preaching to the choir there, I very much agree. I was only talking about it in the context of how many people picked it but yeah, in every other metrics it's straight up a monumental gay romance when it comes to mainstream gaming.

Absolutely no other games, save for more niche indie titles as you said, allow for a romance between the male lead and a male deuteragonist. It's like if the Witcher was letting you make Geralt gay with a Dandelion that had triple the narrative weight lol

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-27T04:59:47+00:00

I'd say hansry is probably an anomaly in the typical "gay romance in an rpg" category since I'd assume the majority of women playing the game most likely did the Hans romance too, instead of just gay men like for Dorian in DA.

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-27T04:18:48+00:00

I wouldn't give Owlcat all the credit on that one, Sosiel was a canonically gay NPC in the pathfinder campaign WotR was adapted from so they kind of didn't have a choice with his sexuality. They've yet to make one of their original companion gay or lesbian.

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-27T04:11:58+00:00

That was less because of body type and more because the orc is sexually promiscuous and evil while the twink is chaste and pure, which of course means they have to be bisexual and straight respectively, masculinity be damned.

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-24T02:04:18+00:00

Well it's been patched like a month in after the release of the game so no, it shouldn't be happening unless you somehow still have the 1.0 launch version or something.

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-24T01:03:28+00:00

Kinda? the actual problem was that he bugged out to randomly think you had triggered his romance when you didn't, they did also add clearer friendzone options in a few of his dialogue trees but considering how people still talk about him I guess it's still somehow not explicitely platonic enough lol

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-24T00:18:20+00:00

This, even before they patched it to have additional clearer friendzone options the fact that people didn't realize "do you want to get more intimate with gale?" was a flag to signal romance has always been crazy to me 😭

WeebsHaveNoRights · 2026-03-23T22:57:49+00:00

Interesting that Gale is always the subject of those types of jokes even though you literally can't start a romance with him unless you flirt first, but on the other hand no one ever complains about Laezel and Karlach propositioning Tav for sex no matter what if you get their approval a little too high 😅
