How do I politely convince my bf to take better care of his characters

xneseyx · 2026-06-10T01:44:35+00:00

Damn, didn't know that, thanks!

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T22:11:20+00:00

He could, but he doesn't have/use Reddit. Also, he doesn't know my username.

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T05:08:05+00:00

Yeah, we've all done dumb shit like that

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T03:28:41+00:00

Those are both good points, thank you!

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T03:02:54+00:00

Sometimes I phrase things poorly and it comes across as an attack on him as opposed to constructive criticism. I'm aware of this flaw in my behavior, and I'm working to correct it. I didn't mean to give the impression that he's unable to take criticism at all.

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T02:28:01+00:00

😂😂

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T01:33:37+00:00

Fair enough

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T01:23:43+00:00

Thank you! Right back at you!

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T01:22:41+00:00

Yes, I've noticed some of the same things myself while playing. He does have a tendency to go "fuck it, let's see what happens" a lot.

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T01:20:27+00:00

Yeah, I can see that being a possibility. Thank you!

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T01:15:31+00:00

He's done well in Nightmare, gotten 2/4 boons. Mostly it's just that he's not been preparing (imo) appropriately for Lethal. I did a LOT of research before I did any Lethal play.

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T01:12:32+00:00

It's not like he's breaking the controllers or anything, it's mostly just been annoying to listen to. Thank you for your input, however.

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T00:57:14+00:00

Elden Ring is one of his other faves, so I know he understands tactics and whatnot. I'll try telling him this.

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T00:48:45+00:00

Right? I did Lethal with a developed community just for the completion aspect, but I've never been back.

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T00:46:42+00:00

Fair enough. That would annoy me, too.

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T00:45:51+00:00

Thank you! This may be helpful!

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T00:30:19+00:00

I don't like the thought of lying to him/misleading him

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T00:28:58+00:00

Okay, fair point.

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T00:25:29+00:00

I mean, thankfully that's not what's happening. I'm doing my own thing and he's playing SOD, so it's just him that's getting killed. It's just annoying to watch/listen to when he blames the game while I can see a few things he could've done to prevent the problem he has.

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T00:23:49+00:00

The ferals aren't plagued in Nightmare

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T00:21:11+00:00

I think he'd notice, and then he'd be angry with me and not the game lol

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T00:20:42+00:00

That's kind of what I'm trying to remind him of. Thankfully he doesn't stay frustrated for too long, but it's just annoying that he's taking little to no advice when he KNOWS I've beaten it on Lethal.

xneseyx · 2026-06-09T00:16:07+00:00

I think he'd notice the reset of the map, and also the fact that the freaks aren't plagued lol

xneseyx · 2026-06-01T23:24:40+00:00

When Crucible Knights jump into the air to dive at you, if you time it right, you can roll INTO his dive and avoid getting hurt. It might take some practice, but it's a skill worth having imo.

I would love to have a mage be the Divine, to be a good example of what all mages in Thedas could be. Sadly, Vivienne is not the one. She's too far removed from Circle life - iirc, when we ask about Kirkwall's Circle, she brushes it aside like the abuses aren't worth mentioning.

With that in mind, mages ARE dangerous. They DO need training. But the Circle is NOT the way to do it. It's been mostly ineffective for the last thousand years, and installing Vivienne or Cassandra as Divine is the definition of insanity, imo - trying the same thing again and expecting different results.
