NigelThornberry posted:Hey are you familiar with the demo map of this game? Its like a section from after you die . Its on the cliffside wheres its goblin camp then orc camp I remember playing the crap out of it back in the day until buying the game. I am not sure if it has ever been part of a LP, you could be a guest for that one if you'd like.

 Probably the most annoying part of the game to be honest, traps everywhere and undead with an unreasonable amount of HP.

It's both, honestly, though I have never been able to determine what does and does not trigger it. The one thing I know for sure does - lurking above, hanging from webs, rappeling down - is not even present in this game.NigelThornberry posted:The most unsettling insect critters I found was in Metro Last Light, something about them was just particularly unpleasant.

Dark Messiah spiders are big enough to be creepy and dangerous but not so big it just becomes ridiculous. Yeah that jump is freaky and can be... well... jump scaring. Also most people don't want a huge spider in their face. Weirdly enough I didn't find the spiders in Skyrim at all scary or unpleasant until I watched them in let's plays. Then they suddenly got unpleasant to watch.

 We dead, wait no we aren't. We're prob going to record an episode tonight with Coolguy so most of Chapter 7 Blood and Fire (we stopped at the cyclops in the ravine) ,the best part of the game imho and also the level they used for the demo. In the current numbering it should be Part 21. NigelThornberry fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Jun 6, 2019 |

 Addendum to the previous episode, mostly showing off some funky stuff like trapping goblins in walls and freezing them in mid air.

 We did 3 episodes with Coolguy, the next one will be as an "extra" because we ended up playing beyond Chapter 7 so there will be a bit of overlap between the guest and regular playthrough sections.

Welp. Thar she goes. It's possible it was an old prophecy and most people just forgot about it or it was deliberately hidden. Known only to old sages and in lost shelves in libraries and maybe most just assumed there were enough heirs and relatives around in the various kingdoms with only the demons aware how close it really was since they had been sneakingly assassinating them for centuries. It does pop up rather randomly out of nowhere though. Oh, does that mean good/dull Sareth becomes king?

so i spent a fair bit of time thinking about that and the game theory doesn't add up pretty much no matter which way you slice it. the Falcon line isn't related to a specific nation or entrenched interest, as xana mentions it's specifically referring to the world as a whole. anyone with anything to lose in the world, therefore, has a vested interest in making sure every other person they bump into is a Falcon descendant, however you are determining what constitutes 'descendant'. i could reason through specific inheritance schemes here but they're frankly irrelevant, literally no 'legitimate' power on the planet would want the Falcons to die out because it's a direct existential threat to whatever game they've got going. even shitfarmers have a vested interest in the welfare of the Falcons if they like having their little shitfarm with their spouse and brood of kids. as such, directly hiding this doesn't make any sense. it's easy to build consensus around "end of world bad". forgetting about it makes similarly little sense. even in the case of the shitfarmer, if there's one thing outside of the absolute bare basics you could impress upon your children, it's 'yo, armageddon's pretty real and this is how it happens'. it makes slightly more sense if you want to take a degree of figurative speech in the text and say that the world relates to the order of the planet (so, taken a specific way, the hierocratic feudalism that dominates most of the known world will fall when the Falcons die), this provides a good stage to set for class struggle and also provides a reason for the demon cults to exist in the first place (which is another point that's really poorly explained in both games) - but even then, the total lack of basic competence about this, even and especially on leanna's part, doesn't make any sense from the old money types who absolutely have every reason to care about this. so even in this rather charitable interpretation, it breaks down. this would explain why aarantir works to murder leanna, however - assuming he is fully informed and sees it as a status-quo collapse, status-quo collapses cause lots of deaths and poo poo, which serves his overall interest.

I don't think the writers cared that deeply about this issue, they just wanted you to choose between Xana and Leanna. Lel.

One alternative ending I always wished for is to be able to KO her in the necropolis so that she can witness your ascension to being the big bad. I actually originally thought thats how the fight would end, I didn't think Sareth would go all out and murder her.

 This game has been glitching like gently caress past the halfway point in terms of crashing. But then again its never been perfectly stable. It was ok past this part though so the playthrough will be complete.
