So did this episode end with us burning down the library or did we just burn the wicker effigy instead?

Of the little bit I knew about this game before this LP, that baby was far and away my least favorite part. Creeps me the gently caress out.

We've finally got our schedules worked out, and uploads will resume on Sunday. Which, uh, happens to be Easter Sunday. I swear I didn't plan this!

Seen the movie, it felt pretty racist. I'm not sure what the actual living conditions of the Bushmen were back then but I seriously doubt they were as idyllic as they show - especially since the film was produced in apartheid South Africa. Or basically all the scenes with the guerillas. It's a very white movie.

Heard about both movies, never seen any of them. Pretty sure they went on tv like once or twice back in the day. Apparently there's even three unofficial sequels that were produced in Hong Kong. The first one involves a hopping vampire and a chinese necromancer.

Well that was a bummer! I guess this is the "Link the fire" ending, where you continue the cycle even though it clearly sucks.

Philippe posted:Well that was a bummer! I guess this is the "Link the fire" ending, where you continue the cycle even though it clearly sucks. It's less the link the fire and more the "you didn't stop the plague" from Hollow Knight, cause despite killing the Pope we didn't do poo poo to fix anything. Also, in one last bit of wtf weirdness, Escribar's thunder and purple attacks? Physical! So no, he doesn't use all elements, remember Cvstodia mages are all punch wizards! There is one boss that does use all elements though. ...wait, if we killed the Pope shouldn't we become the new Pope? At the very least that's how it worked in the Middle Ages.

I forget what exactly it is you need to do to see the better ending but I believe you never actually showed it off, not even part of it. Still, it will make the second playthrough all the more interesting.

Oh, did you think New Game Plus would be easier? How does a 75% reduction in melee damage sound? And that's just the beginning. Welcome, fellow penitents, to TRUE TORMENT (no really, that's what it's called).  Lore for Update 11

I have to admit, this does seem a bit 'beating your head against the wall' kinda difficulty. Which fits thematically I'll grant you, but does seem... Unfun.

Honestly if you actually did sidequests on your first playthrough to get spells and beads this Penitence is probably the easiest one, cause as with any Dark Souls-insipired game magic is broken and bullshit And also you get reduced damage on melee but not on the blood projectile, so it's actually better to use it. I'm also pretty sure the shield attack is not a OHKO, besides the fact you can just... move away???, the attack can even be mitigated with fire res, it just deals a shitton of damage. Also criminal that you didn't post the boss theme, Baile de Violetas is probably the best song in the OST tied with Crisanta's.

I could have sworn that attack was a one-hit kill. I'll know for sure once I beat all the Amanecidas later in this playthrough. I swear, in my memory that attack was a full screen OHKO if you didn't break the shield. I'm not losing it! Well maybe a little. Keep in mind I was going crazy trying to beat that goddamn boss for nearly three hours, I probably wasn't thinking correctly by the end there. Also a few updates ago you mentioned that there was a character with a notable Spanish voice actor. Have they appeared yet? theenglishman fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Apr 14, 2024 |

Keep in mind I was going crazy trying to beat that goddamn boss for nearly three hours, I probably wasn't thinking correctly by the end there. I'm pretty sure at the very least it's only the skull that can damage you and while it hits like a truck it's survivable and you can dodge it by moving away at the price of letting her restore her shield. Granted I never tried beating it with such few resources .Also yeah, Diosdado back at the library. His Spanish VA is famous for dubbing Snake in the original Metal Gear Solid really well and he's otherwise a very prolific dub actor. I mostly mentioned it cause generally Spanish dubbings in the last few years haven't exactly been... all that great. There's some fun stuff, like KH2 Sora (cause that was the only game to get dubbed) having the VA for Ash Ketchum and Sasuke of all people.

Tombot posted:Are we missing the Lore snippet for "Fire encased in enamel" or did we already get that one in a previous update? Good eye! I had that put in the wrong update for some reason Fire Enclosed in Enamel Lore posted:A livid fire arose from the top of the mast, a tongue of fire sometimes white, sometimes blue, dancing wildly and seeming not to diminish at all despite the terrible storm that fell upon us. It was the torch of the Father's finger, pointing down from on high to our boat. The furious light opened up a path through the night and guided us through the storm.

Some fun trivia about the game cropped up on twitter today. Turns out Larian backed the game for 1000 bucks during the kickstarter campaign and didn't ask for anything in return. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/actio...hing-in-return/

C-Euro posted:Will you give the long answer once this LP wraps up? Sorry, I didn't mean for that to sound so cryptic! But yes, it is possible for a first-time player to stumble on the Immaculate Bead on their own, and perhaps they might make a connection between that and the Confessor Statues. In other words it is possible to do the (formerly) best ending on a fresh file.
