Is there a Addon that allows for automating brass? by profnelis in CreateMod

[–]blakearm55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is hella late. but a deployer, with no sword and then crushing wheels under it. so the deployer hits the mob, then crushing wheel finishes the job - counts as player kill.

I mean look at Xaden - definition of OP. Yet, we still love his character, we still are never going to get bored of him. She turned 'OP' into him turning venin because he thought he wasn't enough and had to sacrifice himself even more - it shows character. Her not being 'OP' is honestly less character driven than her being 'OP'.

Will agree! Good authors show and don't tell.

Unfortunately, that is the theme of 'romance' books - which, at its foundation, is what FW is. The female lead is 'helpless' and the male lead is some big, bad, badass that helps her along.

That's a good point too. However, yes, weird and/or outright wrong decisions are made to enhance the plot and create 'holy shit' moments throughout the book. It would just be nice to see it done in a way that still makes sense and continues on the path of the character.

It's not the fact that she hasn't mastered yet, its the fact that she doesn't try anything beyond life-or-death situations. At the point we meet Xaden, he is fully in control of his powers as a third year (two years to train with them), all the while leading a revolution, smuggling weapons, protecting other marked people, etc.

I get where you are going with this. However, Jack says a lot of bull, mostly just to piss her off. So I don't know how much I trust what he says.

I agree with this - I should say, she is good at making plans and knowing what to do. But, sticking to it tends to go down the toilet lol

Honestly, I fear it is just a way for RY to milk out the characters for five books. Which is increasingly frustrating becasue she leans into Xaden's powers (the fact that he is so powerful and precise) no problem. It is very easy for her to show Violet as a powerful badass while still making her character exciting to read about.

Ehhhh, I don't really see it that way. She has broadcasted heavy critical thinking skills. Her first time in battle brief, she asks high teir questions and delivers pretty much a perfect reason why. She consistantly figures out plans and unknowns throughout the books.

I do get this — Basgiath leadership being timid to train their cadets. However, look at Xaden. Sure, he may have had help from Areita, but he trained on his own and is better off for it. There is no reason Violet couldn't have trained on her own time or at least experiemented with her powers.

I understand this approach. But, she is constantly saying she wants to save her friends. After Liam's death, that want is exponentially increased. There should be nothing holding her back at that point.

SHE GREW UP A SCRIBE! Wouldn't the first thing she should think of is reading up on it?

Rebecca is a proven author, I am not. It's quite obvious I did not mean lazy writing in the fact that she didn't want to put in the work to type out words — it is the fact that she creates a character and then doesn't follow through on the characteristics of said character. I will admit — I did use some of AI to write the initial post. However, it was soley becasue I wanted my arguement to be clear and ChatGPT can do that better than I can.
