Okay I know I need to pump the breaks on IF HALBRAND ISNT SAURON WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE as obviously he could also be the witch king or the king under the mountain, etc. and I need to guard my heart from disappointment.
BUT an excellent counterpoint I heard on the Ringerverse podcast was this: we have tv literacy, right??? So when Adar is like ‘no but for real for real who are you?’ and Halbrand just pauses before ghosting him — that means Halbrand is someone known in this time period and all the theories around him being a third age villain are then not really valid. HE HAS TO BE SAURON OR WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE. I AM FAILING AT PUMPING THE BREAKS. 😭

The fact that in Deepest Reflections, AFTER EVERYTHING, when asked who his father is under veritaserum Harry stills says Lord Voldemort? Not even just Voldemort but honorific title and all??? I'm so unwell about their dynamic in Kurinoone's work

I wrote a LONG rant that I'm gonna spare you all the pain of scrolling past, but good lord. All I want is for Durge to still be able to be Durge not Tav 2 even if they reject Bhaal. Have the game look at my previous choices, I beg you. Have I been a good boy? Have I been nasty? Have I been enthusiastic about being murder incarnate or not? Make it matter. Allow my Durge's amnesia-plagued ass to develop some personality and don't force them into either the Resurrected Angel Hero or Newborn Bad Guy That Everyone Hates box, please. And give everyone Astarion's level of reactivity to playing that orgin. That's literally all it needs to be the PERFECT experience. Right now it's a half-abandoned mess to me and it hurts my heart because I absolutely adore Durge and their themes, but playing them starts getting so tiring once you progress the story enough to realise that your choices so far hold absolutely no weight and they really have only two pre-programmed personalities that you can chose from during a single bit of dialogue at the end there. Which would make sense if we were not able to completely customise the hell out of them and be given like 4-5 distinct reactions to every story moment they have 🙃

I was about to make a joke post about how binding classes in EO are far and few between but then I realized there has been one for ever game, but they’ve just been very support heavy??
Like dark hunter is pretty offensive yeah, and so is rover type classes, but that’s really outside of their binds and I don’t really like that!
Bc dark Hunter has ecstasy and what-not but each bind can take a while to actually hit let alone having them all last together! And like yeah there’s definitely accessories to help with that, but what about the rover????
For their game they don’t get accessory stacking and the binds they get are really boring? Like cool single hit move? Literally who cares when you have like a thousand other options????
The ones I like are wildlings and arcanists! Bc wildings have at least a neat gimmick to where they can have all three binds getting the chance to proc at once and I can see fun in that for like gimmick builds, and Arcanists are literally amazing for me as binders bc they have their status gimmick, can hold their own if need be with some offense, and can play around more freely.
But still these classes feel to support heavy ig? Idk I just wish there was a class that focused on binds but used those binds in an offensive way without need to get rid of them or have all of them at once
