I'm losing it a little over just how well they set the Aequilibria up as a threat and make the players feel it in just this one quest
They'd been setting up how dangerous that manatech bomb was for five years. The moment it first showed up on screen, we saw Warlic scared by it for reasons he couldn't articulate. When Akanthus took it to be modified, we saw Amadeus wary of it. We saw what it leaking even a little bit did to Yix. Even without the Mechquest context, the game has been blaring at us, for five years, that this thing is Bad News, as loudly as they possibly could
and then it goes off
it goes off in the worst possible circumstances it could, hits us with five years of built up dread, we failed, we were too late, and...
...nothing happens. The aftereffects of this deadly threat that could've wiped Swordhaven off the map just dissipate in a few seconds.
And we get that moment of relief, that joy that Akanthus was wrong, that realisation that the thing we thought was under threat is more resilient than we feared, that moment of oh, the mana core is stronger than that
And then the Aequilibria wake up
And we get hit with it again, but this time it's
oh
The mana core is stronger than that
