That's fun, very Choose Your Own Adventure, I'm a fan, but I can't help but wonder what would happen if you choose the [Githyanki] response but then veered into the generic ones. If you're a Drow who views home as an sun-drenched island, but then talk about your deep-connection to Lolth what happens? It would be better if each response lead to the next one otherwise you get a kind of dissonance about your story.

For your consideration to ridicule:

Githyanki Artisan Rogue
Who do you dream of? [make daisy]

Daisy: “Darling, do you remember when we first met? It was...”
1.
1a) [Outlander]I was travelling home from the wood when I saw you bathing, down down down by the river...
1b) [Artisan] Of course. You came into my workshop, you browsed for an hour before I realized you just wanted to talk to me... set Tag [Artisan]
1c) [Acolyte]You came to me looking for meaning, but I found it in you...
1d) [Charlatan]You seemed like an easy mark, but soon everything was revealed to you...
1e) [Criminal] The job went side-ways, I looked to a stranger to cover for me, and gain so much more...
1f) [Entertainer] At first I thought you were just another fan, but you became my muse...
1g) [Folk Hero] It's funny, I don't remember what I saved you from, only you...
1h) [Noble] Was the host really such a bore or was it just how grey everything around you became...
1i) [Hermit] It seems odd, I went years never wanting to see another soul, but now I'll always have you...
1j) [Sage] We kept fighting over the same books, I was livid until I finally met you...
1k) [Sailor] Months away, the endless doldrums of the sea, all until I'd return to your port...
1l) [Soldier] At first I viewed you as just a good training partner, but soon our sparring took a different tenor...
1m) [Urchin] We'd lived in the same gutter for so many years, we were animals, but together we could be more...


1b-[Artisan]
Daisy: "That's right, it's been so long, I've forgotten what even your trade was..."

2a)[Githyanki]I made arms for my Creche, I was skilled, but eventually I was needed elsewhere... Tag [Creche-born]
2b)[Githyanki]I made simple tools in village that didn't mind the way I looked...[Village]
2c)[Githyanki]I sold trinkets wherever I went, never daring to stay in one place for too long, but eventually I found a family...[Well-Travelled]
2d)[Githyanki]I live in the 'Gate, my face made me and my work exotic, some might say too exotic...[Baldurian]
2e)[Githyanki]I lived in isolation, though many sought my skills, I avoided trouble but it didn't last...[Remote]

2a-
Daisy: "A Creche workshop? Of course, how could I have forgotten...
Daisy: "Tell me about your Home and the Stars, it seems like so long since we've been there"

3a) Home? Of course, I...We lived on Tu'narath, built into a dead god, it visibly seethes waiting to do our queen Vlaakith's will... [Tu'narathi] [City]
3b) Home? I-We are from Githmir, swollen with the spoils of war, and teeming with opportunists the Planes over, a rare open door our queen Vlaakith leaves our people... [Githmir] Tag [City]
3c) Home? You must remember Creche K'liir, it follows the Tears of Selûne, K'liir is small, but produces many proud and eager servants of our queen Vlaakith... [K'liir] [Remote]
3d) Home? I was reared in one of the many Creches among the stars, there I learned discipline, the value of obedience and above all how to serve our queen Vlaakith... [Remote]

3a-
Daisy: "Vlaakith, she seems to be important to you, is she more important to you than me?" frown

4a) Were anyone else to ask me such a question I would strike them down without a second thought!...it is by her grace we are free of the ghaik...I- [Loyal to Vlaakith]
4b) Never ask me such a question again. Without Vlaakith m-our people would be lost, it is only in her service that we survived the ghaik... [Lawful to Vlaakith]
4c) Vlaakith is a strong ruler to the Gith and delivered us from the Illithid, but I am my own being, as she would want me to be. You are important to me... [White Rose to Vlaakith]
4d) Vlaakith may have freed us from the hated Mind-Flayers, but her rule is killing the Gith, I would be rid of her if I could...Have I ever said such a thing before?...[Red Rose to Vlaakith]

4b-
Daisy: "You really hate the Illithids so? Such hatred makes me feel sad, do you feel so strongly about all alien races?"

5a) Fie, the people of that world are all decadent and wasteful, fit only for plunder and servitude, there's a reason we keep them apart from us...[Xenophobe]
5b) The societies of that world have never known hardship, it has bred a contagious ill-discipline best kept away from our people...[Isolationist]
5c) Such silly things, the way they live with such waste, the chaos they invite into their cities, I am curious to know how they survive, sometimes I even dream of them...[Open-Minded]
5d) Not at all, some I find to be...fetching...their large eyes, their fleshy noses, everything about them fascinates me...sometimes I even dream of them...[Xenophilic]
Let's make this one more heavily reliant on the choices before hand, summing up this characters is: [Githyanki][Artisan][Rogue][Creche-born][Tu'narathi][City][Lawful to Vlaakith][Open-Minded]

5c-[Rogue]
Daisy: "Almost done my love. recently you found yourself near Baldur's Gate...what where you doing there?

6a) [Creche-born]NOT[Baldurian] I have been assigned to a squadron tracking down a stolen weapon...my deft hands, and careful step will help against our eternal enemy...but didn't...?
6b) [Creche-born][Baldurian] I escaped my people thinking I would be free of our race's enmities, but even my skills at subterfuge could not hide me from being taken...wha-?
6c) [Baldurian]NOT[Creche-born] I never learned about my people's ancestral enemy, but while travelling I was taken all the same...I was taken?
6d) [Village]NOT[Baldurian] I'd made a life for myself, found a people who didn't judge me for my alien appearance, only to have it taken away from me by forces beyond my ken...
6e) [Village][Baldurian] I had started a new life, lost in a city that wouldn't know me for my former life, only to have it all stripped away from me again and from a source I didn't even know to fear...
6f) [Village][Baldurian][Zhentarim] I'd found a way to live, and live well, whatever my past might have been I had a future...a future taken away from my by something even more alien than I was...
6g) [Village]or[Baldurian][Flaming Fist] Duty called, it feels natural to heed it, there is trouble on the road to Elturel, I've been assigned to a scouting party but...we could never have been prepared for what we found...what did I find?
6i) [Remote]or[Well-Travelled][Zhentarim]Another job for the Zhents using my expertise, and experience along the Chionthar, for a Zhent the panic to the East only means opportunity...little did we know...
6h) [Well-Travelled]And[Village]OR[Baldurian]I had just decided to put down roots in the first place that didn't treat me like some kind of freak, only to have it taken away...
6j) [Well-Travelled] All my time practicing my skills, trying to stay a step ahead everyone who look on me with disgust and contempt, before it could turn to hatred, all for naught...


"What happened to me. My Love, where are we? I had thought we were back at home, but-"
Daisy: "Hush beloved, there is but one more thing for you to hear, the sweetest sound you could possibly imagine, her voice will make everything clear-"

Then we can slip into the game regular as our brainwashing is interrupted.

Doing this reminded me a lot of the Tapestry system from, yes, Dragon Age, where you reconstructed your past by going through every choice you would have made in the prior games. And of course all those Choose Your Own Adventure games I play too many of.

I think right now the Tag system in BG:3 is sorely under utilized and could really be expanded upon to allow us to create some pretty unique people. I left out serious personality building because it can be both subjective without proper context and also because I don't like it when personality traits are assigned as though people aren't all things at all times depending on the situation.

But of course if I've gained anything from this exercise, it's the will to sleep. zzZZzz
