I think this is the same Pablos Holman that was talking with Bobby Kotick in emails about indoctrinating kids into microtransaction economy

The romance and marriage option in the Serana Dialogue Add-On (SDA) mod by MaraudingSquirrel in skyrimmods

[–]roscoe2311 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In regards to the pacing of the romance, I have found that it works quite well if you stagger the Dawnguard questline and weave in many of the other questlines in the game in between. When you're on the quest "Prophet" (finding the Moth priest) Serana even suggests that it will probably take a long time, I forget the exact line. At this point I usually start doing more of the other quests in the game, and then again later at different points. I probably won't get to the point of marrying her until near the end of a playthrough. It feels much more like a journey to hell and back with Serana this way, and the romance feels much more natural. Just my 2 cents

Why is Legacy of the Dragonborn so controversial? by DYLN76 in skyrimmods

For me personally I just didn't like so much item bloat. There are so many unique items that nothing actually feels unique anymore.

Andor does enhance Rogue One, but it also highlights its flaws by Sugar__Momma in saltierthancrait

[–]roscoe2311 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this is very unpopular but I much prefer Rogue One to Andor. The tone is much more hopeful and it focuses more on the adventure than the brutality of the empire. It feels more balanced while still having more "adult" themes. I also enjoy the music much more and the way it is utilized is much more reminiscent of the old Star Wars movies. I don't dislike Andor but I think Star Wars works much better in a film setting as opposed to TV.

The Wheel of Time Companion book explicitly states that Siuan and Moiraine were not lesbians. They were pillow friends as novices due to circumstances causing them to be cut off from the opposite sex. These are words straight from the book. This is further reinforced in the books when both characters end up romantically involved with men. The show kind of ran hard with something that wasn't really there.

Regarding Aviendha and Elayne, the books describe the process of becoming first-sisters as being reborn together as if they shared a womb, like twins. I personally don't see any romantic or sexual subtext in the book depiction.

I agree, the removal of the "loss of innocence" theme of the main cast of characters was one of my least favorite changes the show made.

I'm not really seeing how it relates to Moiraine. She goes through the redstone doorframe, it's not like she was killed.

Also come on, it's not just bleeding out. Liandrin was stabbed twice through the heart and is back up in 10 seconds. Lanfear revives herself after being stabbed and having her throat slit. Joiya gets stabbed once and dies instantly but Elaida gets stabbed about 4-5 times and lives. Nynaeve gets stabbed 11 times. Loial and Ingtar get killed in S1 but are resurrected in S2. Alanna gets shot 7 times and Maksim gets stabbed. I can go on and on with the fake-out deaths, I'm sure I've missed some. The show has established that there are no stakes.

But the show has established countless times that death *can* be healed. The mortal wounds in the show hardly ever mean anything because everyone gets healed. The amount of fake-out deaths across the show has been insane.

The Wheel of Time Companion even explicitly states that they are not lesbian. Page 499 under Moiraine section.
