#sister playthrough

A collection of people being mean to Phoenix as soon as he starts presenting his own profile to them.

Well, except Adrian. Though Godot is mean about Phoenix's appearance anyway, even though no one asked him.

what is it with selune clerics being incredibly saphic Extra

#ellyra #durge #i am tempted to do a bloody version bc durge u kno #my art #bg3 fanart #baldurs gate 3 #the dark urge #i'm so close to act 2 w her i'm vibrating #her and shadowheart are Trauma Sisters #i started out her playthrough intending to romance her. but alas #they didn't quite mesh right for it. also fell dick first into karlach's romance #character design #outfit design

once again thinking about Pentiment and how none of the choices you make are the "right" one because there is no "right" one to choose from. someone's going to die as a result of your investigations in act I and act II and you have to choose. there will be consequences. you can't complete your investigation, you run out of time, someone dies, and you have no way of knowing if you've made the right decision and even when you've solved the larger mystery you still won't know. game of all time

#Pentiment #pentiment spoilers #like I've played through it a few times every choice brings its own consequences and you never know if you were right #and the deeper you get into investigating each suspect the harder it gets #like Brother Guy is easy to suspect bc he's an ass and he's embezzling but then you find out his whole deal #and it's suddenly a lot harder #or Sister Matilda who I have yet to bring myself to even give evidence against in any playthrough #and the outcomes are inevitable anyway. Piero dies eventually. the abbey burns down. the farmers revolt and get killed in return #GAME OF ALL TIME

One thing that playing as a Selunite puts emphasis that I really like is that, after saving Aylin up until her personal quest in act 3, Shadowheart isn't actually ready to commit to serving Selune?

There's some hints of it in any playthrough, but if you play as a Selunite there's a few dialogue options where you can talk about her becoming closer to the Moonmaiden and she'll just be kinda like "after all I just went through with my goddess I'm a little hesitant to jump right to another one"

It's good because she *should* get that mourning period before deciding to serve another higher power(or if she even wants to serve one at all but Shadowheart's faith is important to her at the end of the day), but also because it makes clear that Selune is granting her her divine powers even without receiving worship in return

#she really is god's favorite princess❤️ #Selune really wanted the kid Shar stole back lol #'sorry my sister abducted you out of spite towards me thank you for saving my kid have some free moon magic forever now' #bg3 #shadowheart #this is also why I kinda like the romance less as a Selunite tho #the conflict early on is juicy #but by the end Tav having a vested interest in Shadowheart switching goddesses isn't for me #I much prefer the 'I don't care about the gods I care about you' energy they had in my other playthroughs #but it's still been reall cool to explore those unique elements #(kinda wish they had alternative Tav origins besides Durge cause there's potential for more here #but that's getting off-topic)

My own strange interest in minor NPCs who have, like, three lines is with Violet (one of Cazador's spawn). It's in one part the way she talks:

0. Violet: Cazador is dust, and Violet blooms! I shall live as a permanent rebuke to all that monster stood for! 2. Violet: Cazador dead, and I alive! I'm giddy, I'm giddy with glee!

Is she a bard or is she just like that?

And partly the fact that (from what I remember) she's also one of the favoured spawn who get to use the nice room (she was the favourite before Leon was brought in). I also seem to recall that she was particularly... unpleasant to her "siblings." And also that, despite the usual thing in Act 3 where a character's model doesn't match her character sheet, she's apparently a drow. Assuming she was born to typical drow society, the abusive hell and squabbles for power that is the life of a vampire spawn probably wasn't all that different to what she grew up with, possibly giving her the advantage in winning "better treatment". How does a drow end up the slave of a vampire in a human city, I wonder.

In second place there's Dalyria, who seems like the "good" one: Come back and tell me about your rationalism and attempts to tackle a mystical curse with science and your horrible unethical experiments involving murdering children.

so i finally played Turnabout Sisters

#ace attorney #aced this #lee plays the phoenix wright game #miles edgeworth #playthrough #maya fey #mia fey #phoenix wright #redd white #whatever the grossberg dudes name is #turnabout sisters

[cornertheculprit]

what if i exploded!!!! what then!!!!!!!

#i am so mad that i can't actually get a screenshot of the time maya calls herself phoenix's big sister to his face #during the stolen turnabout instead of just the time she mentions it in the credits #because it's not like i have the games on my computer. i have the actual physical ds games #so i have to look up playthroughs to get screenshots and no one presents profiles or anything like that which means i can't #get the dialogue :(((( #anyway. them!!! THEM!!!! FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theslowesthnery]

oh yeah also! if anyone is interested in fatal frame playthroughs that do have commentary, i would very highly recommend gab smolders' playthroughs! she has some very old ones several years back, including of fatal frame 4 and 5 before they got official english releases that she translated while playing, but also a recent-ish marathon of all the games' most recent official versions for the western release of fatal frame 5. i don't know if she's ever played a regular playthrough of the original ps2 version of FF2 on her channel, only the wii remake, which i personally like less than the original, but it's not that big of a deal. the important thing is that she loves the games and plays them very thoroughly, reading all the lore documents and doing her best to connect the dots of the more vague story elements

#the only criticism of her playthroughs i have is that she doesn't play with ruri the cat in FF3 enough #she's a cat that you can interact with!! how are you not constantly bothering her?? #me and my sister everytime we see ruri: “RURIRURIRURIRURIRURIRURIRURI”

romance: the day after you finally see the guy you went through years of law school for he's telling you he'll put you in jail no matter what <3

#ace attorney #instead of playing further im watching prozd's playthroughs of what i've already done #and it's hitting me how funny it is #'oh man im already facing edgeworth in my second ever trial. and i have to defend my dead mentor's sister. wait i have to defend MYSELF??'

Can't believe Godot "poor little meow meow"-ed Ron Delite.

Random question about the “they should make persona for people who like good games” post. Do people think the persona series is that bad? I know they aren’t perfect but I wouldn’t call them bad games.

I had a wholeass essay written out before i realized im too tired to make it sound coherent. AND my only experience is p 4 and 5, so my opinion on it means jack shit. All i can say is that the most recent titles suffer from bad writing. (And repetitive gameplay, but thats a different issue). Be it poorly written characters and dialogue, or poorly written interactions and plot, it is hard to take some of the stuff in the more recent games at face value. One could argue that that just means the game is subpar, not necessarily bad, but thats subjective; bad means different things to different people. And i say this as someone who thinks this game is Not the best but still found it incredibly engaging and entertaining.

#chattin #i am the kind of person to write video essay length posts on games that disappointed me LOL #so i am the wrong person to ask #remember that when thinking about the quality of a game; you should ask urself #who is the target audience? is it accessible to this audience? do i need an outside source to keep up with this game ? (like a guide) #if its in a series; what does it do to separate itself from the others? #is the writing okay? characters? interactions( #? #insensitive content ? #how is it handled? the game may me okay for me but can I have my fat friends enjoy this game??? #can i have my trans friends and gay male friends enjoy this game??? #who can i recommend it to? my sister is unable to process all of the social links and requirements for these social links #so she just. doesnt do it. she IS the target audience bc she likes rpgs #and she likes the story and characters. but its too overwhelming #and the social links would be overwhelming regardless of the difficulty #are u meant to enjoy the game in one playthrough or across multiple runs?? #is it WORTH it to do those runs? for a game that has ‘choices’ it is painfully linear #and it confuses people who are trying to follow the rules (do things in my free time to build confidants) #when theyre unable to actually hang out w confidants bc of a rush of mandatory scenes #velvet room fusions are a pain and overly complex #and the game stops being about making a good build #and it starts to become ‘make a shadow null to everything bc the game will keep instakilling you’ #forcing a game over when ur main character dies is ALWAYS bad to me i will swear by this #u make more interesting builds when u arent scared of a gameover #weh. rambling #the game is as bad or good as u want it to br #people clearly love it; we talk about our faves all the time. but how many of us are replaying a game meant to be replayed. not many.

what's your deal /silly

#dont spoil in the tags i literally just met him in my sister's playthrough #i knew nothing about 3 prior to reload #persona 3 #ryoji mochizuki

So you know this party banter between Aveline and Carver?

Aveline: I don't like some of the people you've been associating with, Carver. Carver: Talk to my brother/sister. He/She's the one in charge.

If you're on the rivalry path with Aveline, she says:

Aveline: Who says I don't mean him/her too? This city's full of people who are dead set on ending badly. I don't want to see you end up the same way.

I just- Aveline, you- you're so- hhhhnnnngggggg

I always rival Aveline when I play a mage, and if you think Edgar Aristide Hawke, who practically raised Carver and Bethany after Malcolm died and Leandra became a distant mother in her grief, wouldn't stop dead in his tracks at Aveline heavily implying he's a bad influence on his brother and Carver shouldn't hang around him so much since apparently Ed's someone set on ending badly...? Absolutely not.

This is another case of me wishing Hawke had the option to jump in during party banter with different options, because Ed would've chewed Aveline out for that.

Oh, and then there's:

Carver: Would asking you to stop spying on me help in the least? Aveline: No.

Aveline...................stop it.

#da2 #dragon age 2 #carver hawke #aveline vallen #da2 hawke #edgar hawke #listen all of aveline and carver's party banter and their relationship and the fact that they're pretty much foils DRIVES ME CRAZY #in a good way but then i get party banter like this and i stop everything i'm doing just to scream #like ed and aveline are on fairly good terms in act 1 i mean the rivalry is there but it's not too bad it's more like they just butt heads #but after leandra's death the friendship just rots and deteriorates like by the end of act 3 ed is genuinely surprised aveline #didn't turn on him and side with the templars but i guess even aveline knows what's actually right #or maybe she just doesn't want to face ed in a fight sksksks hell ed AND carver in a fight so it's easier to side with him and the mages #but anyway aveline saying that when ed's in earshot is bold but also the fact that carver doesn't actually acknowledge it #like he doesn't agree or disagree he just changes the subject to be like 'can you stop spying on me PLEASE' #like he already has no privacy while living with gamlen and now he has no privacy when he's by himself because apparently aveline's spying #also i always max out carver's friendship so he and ed are on good terms they're the brothers hawke and carver loves him #even if he doesn't outright say it you know that's what he's really saying in the last straw #when he says that he's proud to call hawke brother/sister and that's gone unsaid for too long like............ screaming sobbing throwing u #like the carver and hawke dynamic on his friendship path is sooo good that i hear aveline say that and i'm immediately ready to throw hands #btw if you're on aveline's friendship path she says 'maybe but i know you get around' instead which...........gets around where aveline??? #aveline my list of beef with you grows with every playthrough i hate you but also i love you but also i want to throw you in the ocean #until you get your head out of your ass like this is a case of her being a FASCINATING character but as a person? while i'm playing ed? ugh #my lady warrior hawke adored aveline but ed is ready to fight her 24/7 sksksk
