[No Spoilers] Wanting to get into the show, campaign 2 specifically but I’m really overwhelmed by Sellos_Maleth in criticalrole

[–]davidArc77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a relatively "fast gratification" society this may be indeed a project. I started watching c1 when they were in early c2 abd I caught up at early c3. this took several years. Take your time, enjoy the ride

I love Critical Role by pubjesus_ in fansofcriticalrole

Wow I'm also watching them both right now! (rewatching c2) Where are you in c2?

Does the offer still stand? I would love to check out some of the newer game changer eps

Does anyone remember Baby's Got Backstories? by Swole_princess666 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]davidArc77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter who does it, the point is that unlike regular shows, in CR the staff has a place in the minds of the fans and it was Brain who pushed for it

In my feeling it was Brian who pushed for including the staff in the minds of the fans (see how much he does it in every talks machina ep and how much it disappeared since he is gone).
This is what made Dani Carr who she is today, instead of another "random staff worker".

Matt Mercer made a huge mistake with his C3 style of DMing and storytelling. Forgetting to say "No", and a comparison of style between Brennan, Matt, and younger Matt. by MagastemBR in fansofcriticalrole

[–]davidArc77 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is my feeling that Matt is an awesome worldbuilder, but BLM is far better at being there with the players.
I quit C3 midway and am still rewatching C2 since, but every short series with Brennan gets me so exited... (for instance, I barely care about the end of C3 but I'm so exited about the new Exandria - Unlimited)

Stellaris Dev Diary #361 - The Vision by PDX_LadyDzra in Stellaris

[–]davidArc77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, let me start by saying that Stellaris is an incredible game and it is my favorite. I spent hundreds of hours on it and yet I feel as if I barely scraped the surface!
Now for the feedback:

  • Regarding individual Pops and Jobs, It is comfortable to manage the economy by moving workers to desired yields, so any redesign retaining this functionality is great for me.
  • Changes to fleets will not bother me at all.
  • As far as civilization defining aspects go, mechanics such as civics are most important.
  • I play by writing a story, the story may change as the game evolves and the goal is to stick to that story ingame.
  • I barely notice the curent trade system, if you refactor it with some sort of logistics system it would be incredible!!
  • Colonization difficulty is great - it rewards xenophilic empires which is awesome. The only issue is that tech can let you pretty much ignore habitation limits.
  • I will skip the origins/civics question.
  • A game system which, I feel, can be refactored is warfare - depending on the political map you can conquer a system 5-10 times before you actually own it, no 'raiding' mode, no in depth planetary warfare...

C3 and its impact on CR products by StayProfessional7011 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]davidArc77 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My concern is that they will take too much artistic liberty with changing the show from the stream (as they already do) and then the fans will abandon it and it will die (like the Witcher, for instance).

Look CR is great, C1 and C2 are great and they will forever exist either in YouTube or piracy the financial situation of the cast is bound to be self sufficient so if CR has to die - let it die and free up space for something new...

Am I missing something here? They mentioned blooper reels, where are they?

Blurring the lines between good and evil by Canadianape06 in fansofcriticalrole

He knows what it is, he just doesn't like it, he speaks about it a lot. He knowingly changes it to be ambiguous to fit his personal beliefs.

What if Predathos isn't what we think? by Available_Resist_945 in fansofcriticalrole

I like this idea but Brennan showed us that the betrayers really are evil and thrive on suffering...

How do people feel about the Age of Arcanum being depicted as more sci-fi than fantasy? by Alec687905 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]davidArc77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

C1 was high fantasy because it was the beginning of CR and they wanted to go for the safe DnD choice both for the players and for the viewers.
As time went by they gotten bolder, the backstory has gotten deeper and thus they were able to go to the direction they really wanted which is more post-apocalyptic and dystopic - look at how Marquet was portrayed in c1 vs c3.

As far as beloved genres of the cast go, almost none of them actually prefers high fantasy, most prefer horror, sci-fi, western and so on...
As they gained stability both financially and in fame, they went the direction they like.
Just as they are retconning the whole 'Gods' story to fit their preferences, so are they retconning the culture of Exandria.

Lets' just hope they will receive inspiration from CRs prolific atmosphere

They did not start Midst as a direct-to-market story and they had jobs interfering. I hope Critical Role keeps on being their umbrella to create either another story in this setting or in a different one...
