may i ask why u struggle with starting up pillars of eternity? also for the writer ask! 4, 8, 9, 17, 30
I think with Pillars of Eternity, it is a combination of I haven’t yet found a class that I enjoy (-- and I have tried a lot) with a personality that will mesh well with the majority of the companions that I’ve come across. The most meaningful progress I have made was with a Bleak Walker Paladin, but from what I’ve played, there’s barely any companions who would be in favour of the matching dispositions aside from Durance who…. I enjoy evil aligned characters but he makes me extremely uncomfortable. I do not like Durance. I feel like if I want to play without him, I’m pigeon-holing myself into Priest and I didn’t mesh with it as well as I would’ve liked.
This is relating to the class thing specifically but the real time with pause aspect feels… not particularly great as someone who prefers turn-based. Certain classes I do enjoy definitely function better in turn-based vs. real time with pause in my experience - often ones that involve micromanaging things like buffs and heals (e.g. cleric/priest.) Soooo basically the combination of all of that leaves me either suffering through as a Priest so I don’t have Durance but struggling with RTWP or being a no-brain Fighter or Rogue but suffering with Durance (yes. I could have a merc but I don’t like using mercs simply because they don’t add anything in terms of reactivity – this is one of the main reasons I barely used the Graveguard in WotR apart from Delamere with the exception of Staunton when finding Minagho in act 4.)
Also – the lore feels incredibly dense and harder to get to grips with compared to Tyranny. I don’t mind some dense world-building here and there but it really feels like they’re bombarding you with it in PoE.
4. What sort of music does your OC listen to?
So if we are going based off what sort of things I have on their playlists:
Valerius – primarily classical music and classical rock – e.g. Bon Jovi, KISS, Alice Cooper, Queen. I also think he would be a big fan of the Gregorian Chant trend (e.g. the iconic Bring Me To Life by Gregorian)
Leonelle – I checked what the flavour of music her playlist predominantly is and it’s something called Alt-Z, however. I just like to call it Edgy / Dark Pop – Zolita, Halsey, Billie Eilish, Natalia Kills, Lana del Rey, Dove Cameron.
8. Do you have any OC family trees?
Not any formal ones mapped out, but I have them in my head for Valerius, Leonelle and Magni since they’re probably the most important ones to have in mind (especially Magni). I need to find a family tree maker or something similar.
Valerius' family is currently sitting at three generations - his mother, father, stepfather as well as Camellia's parents as one; then him, his sisters and Camellia; then Violeta and Mirela as the youngest so far.
Leonelle's family tree right now is two generations with an Erinys ancestor of some relation on her mother's side. Her parents being one generation, then her and her siblings.
Magni's is the largest. Obviously you've got them, Bhelen and Trian, with Endrin and their late mother above them. But then there's Bhelen's branch of the family with Rica and thus involving the Broscas. Then Mardy and Gorim Jr. And Loghain, Celia and Anora. And Flemeth, Morrigan and Kieran.
9. Favourite OC?
Probably Leonelle or Valerius; Valerius definitely occupies the most brainspace but Leonelle has been around in some form for a long time and I think it stands as a testament to her that she’s been around for so long (nearly eight years)
17. What are some tropes and character dynamics found in your WIPs?
Generally speaking I try not to sum it up by tropes but I think one of the core ones is that there’s usually some element of the Lady and Her Knight dynamic – though primarily it is a darker inversion of sorts (for example – Valerius/Camellia and Leonelle/Jaethal are both darker inversions and in Leonelle/Jaethal’s case a queer variant of it too.) Religion also comes up a weird amount as well, which I think has come about as a result of Valerius and Jaethal both being Urgathoan. There’s something especially about Urgathoa’s tenets – hedonism; gluttony; death – that makes for an absolute banging flavour.
30. How are you doing? <3
Oh you know…. (in the same tone as how all white people say it when they’re going through it.)
