Door main Telaryn
Ive taken a break, but I was mostly having fun with the actual gameplay. Friends who are still playing have said theyâve genuinely seen changes start to happen already. Itâs disappointing its been a rocky start, but by all accounts Vermintide 2 had the same issues.
Iâm sure it will get there. Bloodbowl 3, not so sure about
True, I would be lying if I said I didnât have fun. Itâs just kinda disappointing to see the patterns that they were so quick in releasing the cosmetics shop for an easy cash grab than fix the game.
Admittedly, they apologised for it later, but I think it was too little too late imo.
Which makes you think that FatShark learned from the mistakes of the past. AlasâŚ
Holding on white knuckled to the kernel spyware anticheat in spite of community outrage so⌠no.
Given the state of the industry, I wasnât expecting anything good and was still disappointed. I liked bloodbowl 1, even with itâs flaws. Skipped 2, because i think Iâve heard it was a downgrade from 1 (is that true?) And was looking forward to 3 as an update of sorts, but seeing how things are, I guess Iâm skipping that too.
Eh I never cared for cheats in an PvE game like that. It was just kind ofâŚuseless, used to only bypass long grind.
I donât cheat and shouldnât have to run a separate data harvesting program just to play. They lost a customer when they forced that nonsense.
silly lintian, telaryn wouldnât do door RP
heâd do doormat RP, how else would you step on him?
Tasks to prove youâre a good gold dragon:
- Find some moldy cheese in a cellar (itâs good mold I guess) for a pregnant ladyâs cravings
- Charge into the heart of the Worldwound to find some flowers for a girlâs flower crown.
- Infiltrate Baphometâs labyrinth for a book on philosophy to answer the question âhow many angels can fit into a single ray of lightâ.
Thereâs humility and then thereâs being taken for a ride.
Donât you get it Elenthas? In doing so youâre proving how your endless well of wisdom can-
Yeah itâs a crap quest, one of the many stains of the Gold Dragon Mythic path and my hope of seeing it improve is as volatile as Owlcat significantly changing the campaign.
Of course to a certain extent itâs likeâŚnot even a set of tasks. Drezen? Thatâs my home-base. Iz and the Labyrinth are destinations Iâm going to end up at regardless, so practically itâs just something to vaguely keep in mind when Iâm in the area for more important things.
But the framing is the real problem, since itâs a philosopher dude whoâs just like âI got into a really stupid argument over some beer in a tavern and now Iâm asking you to invade a demon lordâs domain because I want to be proven right.â
The philosopher one is probably the most egregious to me.
Small child? Doesnât know any better. Dumb children are allowed to be dumb.
Pregnant woman? I mean thatâs fine too, no big deal to fetch some cheese.
Old âââlearnedâ"" man should know better though. Philosophy really is just white guys jerkinâ offâŚ
Weird philosophical question when you can just ask an actual angel whoâd then tell you off for being a navelgazing putz whoâd do better spending that time feeding the poor or smiting yonder demon.
Hey, why should it be restricted to white people. Plenty of individuals jerk off with philosophy all over the world.
Most likely the old philosopher wasnât an utilitarian then
Someone pick a weapon type for my Aeon run. The weirder the better.
nobody cares nerd
No narrative.
One class per thingy.
Little dialogue between characters.
MEH!
Vermintide started on much better footing and I loved it.
Darktide is just meh. Most folks seem to be disappointed by it.
My chronomancy powers are exceptional for sure. I keep casting that on myself and sometimes on Blythan too.
Plottwist: You are an Infinite Dragon and time has no effect on you. Instead you get owned by five nerds who can constantly turn back time for themselves and recover from any injury you caused them.
So I did bounce off this quest line the first time, but the second time it really clicked for me - the dragons are testing your resolve as a gold dragon, which is about using your immense power to do good for goodnessâs sake. One can say âthis is way too much work for way too little benefitâ and still be a good person, and many good people would be right to do that - but a gold dragon would take that risk.
Minor Gold Dragon spoilers
Particularly so when itâs revealed that each of the 3 âvillagersâ are dragons and chose seemingly pointless tasks with huge risk on purpose
Shhh donât expose me like that, Des!
Youâre one of them ⌠Certified NERD.
I found the Gold Dragon thing to be a bit naff, anyway. Daeran had it perfectly correct when he pointed out that helping that one surviving cultist - who openly said that it changed nothing and he was going to continue following Baphomet - was just indirectly causing the deaths of innocents.
Mr. Dragon NPC is virtuous to the point of looping straight back around to carelessly allowing evil to propagate.
