Wenduag as well. I wish fetish and kink wasn’t always portrayed on the evil end of the spectrum. I know a dude into vore and he’s one of the nicest guys around.
The only other character that would participate in anaiada is probably Daeron. Which is quite funny to think about since hedonism is otherwise almost diametrically opposed to cynicism. Heh. Feeds in well to Rabbit’s point about the parallels between Ember and Daeron.
Oh sure. And there are references in Aru's story as well -- so much sex + cannibalism going on in that game. Clearly, this is what BG3 is missing.
Having a good time with both games. Agree that people should be free to criticize. The game needs repair and some design tweaking and the devs need to know what to repair. I know it's my fault for playing on core but *wow* some of those fights in the Abyss are on the edge of impossible. Someone turned the challenge up to 11.
I get where @kanisatha is coming from. There was a time when no one was making these games and we don't want to discourage those devs.
At the same time there is a place for public critique and for insisting that companies have good business practices. I this really feels like a public beta to me. You can't just can't compare the bugs in Solasta on full release with the WotR bugs -- things like you can only open this chest if you save and reload are fine but game stopping bugs just shouldn't be in a game at release time.
The writing in BG3 is more literary, the writing in WotR is more philosophically informed. When I play WotR I miss the long conversations at camp, when I play BG3 I miss the banters and the walls of text inside the books.
On mechanics I have have a slight preference for BG3 because it's 5th ed and it's designed as a turn based game but in both cases I think the Solasta engine is still the best engine.
Oh and @Black_Elk yes Ember interesting because it's the first accurate presentation of a pessimist I've ever seen. Life is meaningless, cruel and hope is a trap because sets us up for disappointment. So feel joy where you can find it, be happy you are alive right now, make the most of moment and don't hope for better days to come.
