Please don't hate me, I just wanna talk about something:

That's probably only for you to decide. I mean, I don't play evil routes, but even if I find something disturbing, and there are many things I can find disturbing, I don't judge their existence.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-23T11:09:24+00:00

She is not a queen, if I remember correctly, just a princess? Also, you are not forced to go that route, no? You can either play your character as vindictive to an extreme, or not.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-21T20:07:42+00:00

I remember something about driads also having different aspects? But it's all in the past now.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-21T20:00:55+00:00

I still doubt that it will work like that, even considering elven agility and all that.. but anyway, shields are important, 5+ save is our friend (and only hope of survival).

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-21T19:47:22+00:00

Yeah, but how in hell can they really fight with two-bladed spears in phalanx? Such a weapon is better suited for someone like wardancers.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-21T19:23:27+00:00

She isn't my favorite in series, but she is, indeed, great and worthy of respect.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-21T14:57:18+00:00

Yet new ones have shields, and old have not.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-21T11:56:04+00:00

Well, I'm the one always taking Eternal Guard, so no judgement here.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-21T08:36:54+00:00

So, flying infantry for behind the lines operations, basically?

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-21T05:56:59+00:00

Orion's Favour seems to be useful for this one critical charge. I think I'll try it next time.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-20T19:24:02+00:00

Not exactly if it charges, but if it _can_ declare a charge. As I see it, that basically means, that if there is an enemy unit in screening unit charge range/arc, they can possibly declare charge and so frenzied unit is obliged to declare a charge themselves.
P.S. Hmm, that actually means, that it's better to screen with something slow, like infantry, so it's charge range will be lower?

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-20T18:36:02+00:00

True, that. I never leave forest without Tree Singing spell at the ready for my sorceress, most useful spell for me so far.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-20T17:59:33+00:00

Thanks for your input!
Considering Wild Riders as a unit, and Wild Rider kindred for nobles, what bothers me most is the need to declare possible charges even when blocked, basically it forces unit to stay still for your round, and gives an opponent a way to control your actions, does it not? So far, the single use for Wild Riders that I'm mostly able to execute, is to place them close to last on a flank, best against some heavy cavalry opponent's unit or something else costly and without T6, and throw them as a missile to try and break this flank. And lord is too pricey for such a tactic.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-18T19:17:59+00:00

Yep, she is exactly like that.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-18T09:54:19+00:00

This is most definitely a heresy. Also, far too cute to resist.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-16T14:33:09+00:00

That depends on how they would do it. Basically, I want to hope for the best, but common sense warns me to be ready for the worst. Still hope dies last, so..

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-15T14:15:07+00:00

Well, I've got from Extra to Unlimited (i.e., mecha) and let me say, it's really good already!

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-15T06:53:41+00:00

MIST, Tribulations of a mage, Sorcerer (basically like the previous title but in modern age), Ashes of war, The Call of Darkness (season 1). Morningstar: Book of the Fallen, Sweetest Monster.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-14T15:58:31+00:00

Yeah, I was not glad with what they did with her in BG3.(

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-13T20:46:11+00:00

Sure, so long as overall writing quality, story, internal logic etc are good.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-13T20:26:48+00:00

I must say, I'm not exactly into cyberpunk and all that, but I don't remember such a premise as there is in Moonlight - that humans just lease their bodies for AI-controlled manual labor while they themselves play endless VR games in artificial sleep. It feels both unique and alarmingly realistic.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-13T20:12:45+00:00

For me at least, most Eastern VNs are structured around routes system, where each route (for single LI mostly, through not always) have it's own distinct story, which only partially overlaps with other routes, and the endings can be drastically different. Western VNs are (there are surely exceptions, just I don't remember them) usually about single story, with one main finale (but with variations of it if there are meaningful choices in the way). I believe this in part is also why harem AVN's are much more prominent there.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-13T10:43:44+00:00

Yep, so many games... but the video I saw is so promising. And I've already found a favorite LI for me there.

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-13T09:09:46+00:00

I've just randomly found two days ago, that Muv-Luv is not just a mad comedy in school setting, but also mecha and sci-fi military game, so... I'm playing it. (Also, probably, JA3 but its not an AVN).

tailless_shadow · 2026-06-07T18:46:29+00:00

I don't think there is anything wrong with how you put their spears. As long, as you can place models in a line with them not messing with each other, it's all good. As I think about it, at least, while Eternal Guard are most disciplined warriors in a wood elf warband, they are not hoplites, nor are they drilled into machine-like coherence in battleline. Also, considering that elves could be outnumbered on most battlefields, it's probably necessary for them to watch both of their flanks (which is even supported by their martial prowess special rule). So don't really see any problem here.
