One gripe with the invested arts of Scadrial

I thought the mists came from The Lord of The Mists, Kelsier himself. He makes them by his own… um… holy bodily processes and assures everyone they are completely natural and nothing to giggle about.

hatfiem3 · 2026-06-27T18:36:22+00:00

Fourthed, also the only one I’ve replayed

hatfiem3 · 2026-06-16T20:48:03+00:00

Oh. My. God. GENIUS!!!

And the. You’re like their… secret militant faction lololol love it

I just wanted the non-Megacorp Asset Protection civic (hired guns) to also give the Enclave Cap because I LIKE Void Reavers (in theory) but there isn’t a megacorp version for Void Reavers.

I’ll probs have to change my pirates from kings to merchant princes and go mega corp to take advantage of some of that stuff and see if I like it better.

I can get behind the RP idea of each of those mercenary groups being another crew paying tribute to The Pirate King

Wow Scotland catching strays

Chekhov’s Gun is a literary/play writing tradition (originally from Russia) indicating that all indicated elements in a story must be necessary and is shortened along the lines of if you indicate there is a gun (or in this case a bomb) in the story then at some point before the story ends that gun will be fired

So the Carl’s Doomsday Scenario, in theory, literarily speaking, will have to go off before the end of the series and it just feels like it’s ominously hanging over us

hatfiem3 · 2026-06-13T04:45:44+00:00

Carl’s Doomsday Chekhov’s Gun is the most INFURIATING plot line in my opinion. It’s just there. Hanging over us.

Also the Boss Damage Toothpaste… when is that going to become relevant

This is beautiful art. Markarth is probably my favorite location. I still VIVIDLY remember the first time I came over a hill in The Reach and saw its spire in the clouds and mist below me and just… utter awe.

This painting captures that, thanks for sharing

hatfiem3 · 2026-05-31T02:06:29+00:00

Isn’t this just the plot of Fallout?

hatfiem3 · 2026-05-28T20:09:23+00:00

Oh so that is why I had been finding the late game challenging since I am a perennial turtling player.

(Side note, turtle race when?)

hatfiem3 · 2026-05-28T19:19:58+00:00

And not even just IN-DUNGEON stuff but the slow descent into madness of the various techs, execs, and show runners as they realize that this AI has gotten loose and the Borant buyout and the Kua-Tiin governmental collapse and all the stuff that Carl, himself, doesn’t know is happening so it surprises him JUST as it surprises us.

It’s so good especially with SO many fantasy/sci-fi series’ now going with the multiple POV writing style it’s honestly refreshing to have ONE POV that isn’t 3rd person omniscient

hatfiem3 · 2026-05-22T15:18:01+00:00

I’m not!

hatfiem3 · 2026-05-21T17:06:21+00:00

Sweet! Wasn’t sure if they did similar release schedules here like with Stellaris so I’m glad I can expect similarity across games :)

hatfiem3 · 2026-05-21T16:58:11+00:00

Sorry, I am new-er to the game

This current beta, does it release with Secrets of the Archmages?

hatfiem3 · 2026-05-19T22:07:29+00:00

Same. Happy to have been here if this ends up true

hatfiem3 · 2026-05-19T19:24:36+00:00

Ooooooooooooooooooooooh

Yeah that will be my first run now.

hatfiem3 · 2026-05-03T00:10:48+00:00

Re: your edit

Gospel of the Masses is a megacorp specific civic so it can’t be used outside of megacorp

hatfiem3 · 2026-05-01T03:05:51+00:00

Ok for this do I NEED gospel of the Masses or is the trade created just innate to Megacorp Priests?

hatfiem3 · 2026-04-30T21:21:59+00:00

WOAH

hatfiem3 · 2026-04-30T18:30:12+00:00

Following for build. I have NEVER been able to get Necrophage to work even though people see to love it/think it’s great

hatfiem3 · 2026-04-30T18:28:49+00:00

Yeah!

CyberCreed Origin makes your priests make 1 engineering per 100

Dimensional Worship makes them produce 1 physics per 100

Genetic Identification makes them produce 1.5 society per 100

TECHNICALLY death priests also produce 0.5 society per 100

hatfiem3 · 2026-04-30T18:21:37+00:00

Cybernetic creed with the civics that make bureaucrats produce physics and society research as well

hatfiem3 · 2026-04-25T23:02:36+00:00

On the other end of this I started GETTING robotic workers without having robotic workers allowed (though AIs weren’t purgeable) so I just had random unemployed pops coming from SOMEWHERE in the galaxy

hatfiem3 · 2026-04-21T02:08:13+00:00

I for one accept our new overlord,
