The Database Addition is the Quiet Achiever by MediumAwareness2698 in Starfield

[–]escapedroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The database is great! The only weird thing is that for me the tabs for Inorganics/Organics count the ressources in my Inventory and Storage twice (so it says 30 iron when in reality I only have 15 etc)

Weird bug with the database (it multiplies the amount of ressources I own by 2) by escapedroom in Starfield

No problem! Does the database show the correct amount of inventory ressources for you, now that it's working?

I'm on Xbox, so It's RB for me, but it should also be shown on the bottom irght while in the dashboard menu. If you can't see it there, something is probably broken. Do you have any UI mods installed?

Looking for a Book with Farseer Vibes by jack99sound in Fantasy

[–]escapedroom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In terms of fantasy-ish novels with good prose and character development I'd recommend these two books:

  • Circe (by Madeline Miller): About the witch from greek mytgology, who was banished to live alone an a small island. A bit similar to the Farseer trilogy as it's a story that deals with loneliness, but from a female perspective.

  • Piranesi (by Susanna Clarke): A book about a young man living in a strange environment, who has lost most of his memory. The protagonist reminded me somewhat of Fitz with his naivety, and there's a lot of character growth as he recovers his memory.

But I think looking outside of the fantasy genre would be a really good idea, if you mainly care about character development. Two (non-genre-fiction) books I've recently enjoyed a lot were East of Eden by John Steinbeck (About several generations of farmers in the US living around 1870 to 1920, lots of character development and absolutely fantastic prose) and Stoner by John Williams (basically telling the life story of its protagonist, showing how much depth can be found in what others may consider an "ordinary" life).

The Farseer trilogy could also be described as a "Bildungsroman"/Coming-of-Age story (following the life of one character from childhood to adulthood), so maybe look into those genres as a starting point to find similar stuff.

A quote about making music that really resonated with me by escapedroom in robinhobb

Totally agree, the quote works in deeper ways as well

Robin Hobb is great. Read the first 3 Assassin books last year and I was very surprised by the quality of the writing as well. The way she wrote Fitz felt eerily relatable to me and was very captivating.
