Pet peeves: The return (Part 5)

already thinking about what my next character in baldurs gate 3 should be

too many options

Iā€™m not saying we should have a Gadgetzan overhaul to a proper city with the world revamp-

No, actually, thatā€™s exactly what Iā€™m saying, I am tired of asking.

Iā€™m so tired Iā€™m getting chills but my brain will not cease.

female drow, cleric (subclass of choice, I suggest War itā€™s cool) of Lolth

you get so many funny dialogue options and thereā€™s a whole bunch of NPCs that treat you entirely differently because of this

Golems are a girlā€™s best friend.

Genuinely feel like the Hearthstone designs have more undiluted ā€˜Warcraftā€™ essence uninterrupted than weā€™ve had in WoW up until DF, and even then itā€™s still doing damage control.

Yes, thereā€™s a bit of goofy and a bit of zany in there too, but Warcraft has ALWAYS had that. It just feels like it has a better balance.
Also, so many of the trailers/music vids have slapped hard, and I respect that.

Week 7 of farming winter cloth sets, still no robe. Guess itā€™s time to level my other mage to double my chances.

The only downside would be having to codify exactly what Kazakusā€™s deal is, because he does introduce some lore complications (hearthstone-specific lore being what it is) but aesthetically absolutely, they did great work

He does? Elaborate plz.

Welp. Good thing they donā€™t have a long-term story arc that hinges on a recurring character played by this one guy. Or worse, a multitude of them. Imagine how disruptive to their plans that would be!

Kazakus is Kazukasan, a black dragon who worked closely with Onyxia in hearthstone lore - he manipulates the factions into the conflict in Alterac that forms that set. Would be a big retcon to introduce him in now, post All That!

I would simply recast it.

Get Michelle Yeoh in there to play Kang.

ehhh they can include Mean Streets without tying Kazakus to the Onyxia/Alterac stuff. Donā€™t need to include everything, but yeah that would be a retcon if you did include it all.

A black dragon who saw what happened to Onyxia and Neltharion and decided ā€˜you know what antagonising adventurers is bad for your health Iā€™m going to brew highly illegal potions for evil insteadā€™ is extremely valid

Onyxia: ā€œI will amass power and manipulate these foolish mortals as part of my malevolent plots.ā€

Black Talon Agent: Sir, what about Kazukasan? Weā€™ve found an extensive criminal network in Tanaris and-

Wrathion: Donā€™t worry about him - heā€™s too hyperfocused on golem construction to even notice Old God whispers. Heā€™ll be fine.

His potions are too strong for you.

The weekly Keystones I get from the Vault keep being Dawn of the Infinites.

At least, the 483 weapon that dropped was also from Dawn of the Infinites. Whatever even is Timestrike, I donā€™t know, but I sure hope itā€™ll be better than my 476 Rashon.

+20 Murozond Rise sounds like something like actual torture though.

ā€œThis stat is available on some of the gear/weapons from there and it gives your attacks/abilities/spells a chance to leave a debuff on your target that deals a portion of itā€™s damage a 2nd time after 3 seconds.ā€
