and finished it ,got dat true ending yes def had a great time on the game 8/10 (but yeah performance def docked some points as well as some writing threads that felt kinda dropped, but am trying to in good faith piece it together in me mind so just gonna ramble spoilers under the cut:

when people said this is what they wanted the original DD to be i can see that but like i feel like the lead up to the game kept hearing people who know more about the originals history talk about how "40-60% of the original vision was cut down" from dd1 and i feel like my brain unfortunately interpreted that as "oh cool so were gonna have 100 new vocations like the monk and 100 monsters and the parallel worlds(technically true☝🏽🤓) and the moon stuff, neat" thats on me lmao but yeah removing those expectations and seeing it for what it is, its def the spirit of the the first game but its systems deeper and more fleshed out not good at all the techny terms but im not very into or good at action games but this one made me want to be cuz the combat was fun haha hmm writing wise there was a point where i felt like everything just suddenly got dropped once the godbane stuff started happening and youre suddenly barreling to the ending while everything else just wasnt important anymore lmao, but trying to interpret the story as a story the pathfinder is weaving, i think its meant to feel like that cuz we see the pathfinder essentially write us out of problems, give us a griffin to escape slavery, gives us a clue to where were supposed to go and the big one he like straight up changes ambrosius mind about giving us the godsbane when it wouldnt make sense for him too, the old man by harve even alludes to this by saying the real world is much messier when hes telling you about how fake everything is, like the watcher said everyone there is there to play a part in a tale hes laid out and i think he wanted to get to the ending faster. It's definitely another layer they added from the first games cycle, but do wish if that is what theyre going for(and if im not delusional lmao) that they did more like the ambrosius thing just watching as he ass pulls us out of dead ends making us feel what rothais felt when he realized all his feats and hardships didnt matter, also just would have liked more sidequests with fun characters lmao.

Also did enjoy the endings of the 3 major peoples in the unmoored world and felt like their side quests really fleshed them out and led them there to their endings well,mostly, very cool idea to bring it all together like that. elves wanted to stay isolated but they needed outside influence to break tradition, to save their tree and how it all built to them agreeing to seek refuge with the other races rather than die with their way of life. Ironic that disa was half right about sven needing to inherit the throne but ofc she was also half wrong cuz she a tyrant and wants him to have it mainly cuz of blood, but he deserves it cuz his sidequests were about him getting to know the common folk and becoming self assured lmao battahl tbh full disclosure i messed up the queen nadias sidequest to the rose chateau, tried to scare the dick head shopkeeper into giving me the medicine for the beastren and got arrested so idk how that one ends(will find out in NG+ lmao) but based on the ones i did do, it seems like the nations whole thing was about always being in conflict with each other and how the unmoored quests there are about making people put there differences aside and band together, including the arisen teaming with phaesus. Also like the irony of their view on pawns being right at first but by the end of the game they end up being wrong. but yeah do feel like they didnt get into that more, along with what the lambent flame is? (googled that there was lore texts you can find that explain how an earlier emperor is deceiving the people about it and what it really does) they also dont go into the fact vermund was a nation of beastren, started by a beastren and then history was wiped?? and how theres vermundians fear of beastren and human children always look like beastren and yet wilhelmina is a direct contradiction of this?? that seemed like a really juicy plot point but they didnt really do anything with it. and lastly idek where to start with the pawn and arisen ending, found out theres slight differences in the affinity ending (got the high affinity one cuz reds my my gurl i always revive run straight to her to revive her🤗) but watching them talk about how happy they are to have their own will while saying theyd still do anything for you filled me with something, dont even know what but was crazy.

oh also before i forget another way its in the spirit of the first game for me is just like in the original i also forgot to talk to the person i was romancing and giving them flowers before the endings and got diff people appearing there just like my first playthru of the dd1 lmfao( got manela with grigori and sara in the true ending, was going for ulrika this playthru lmfao) def gonna NG+, maybe do a magic archer and get the stuff i missed and try and get the other endings. Also hoping for another expansion/dlc like they did with dd1 down the line with more vocations and monsters.

Happy STS! If your characters were royalty what would their epithets be? (think like Queen Susan the Gentle from Chronicles of Narnia or Queen Margo the Destroyer and King Quentin the Moderately Socially Maladjusted from The Magicians)

I like the way Magic: The Gathering cards give characters titles sometimes, so I threw that style in there too.

Isaac the Recklessly Inquisitive (Deserved tbh)

Renato, Who Your Mother Warned You About (Not only will he break your heart, but he has the charm to trick you into forgiving him anyway. Seriously, quit that boy)

Dorian, Booper of Snoots (If there's a snoot, rest assured it will be booped. Even if maybe they really shouldn't)

Elfy the Irrepressible (Just try. We dare you)

Kinslayer already goes by many names, of course. They receive even more in the future, particularly from a group of masked travelers who live a couple of realities over from Earth, many using Kinslayer's preferred name: [Redacted] the Wayfarer, the Fisher, the Godbane, etc. (They swear they can't roll over in bed without getting a new nickname)

Ben the Brazen (Said with admiration--we don't slut shame here)

Oleander the Cuddly (it's a trap run run runrunrunRUN)

And from Matroi over in the realm of Arasind, there's Tiên the Traitor, or the Exile (they hate to see a woman conquering her former homeland as revenge for assassinating her parents and attempting to kill her too winning

@godbanes​ // liked for a short starter!

Hades knew that Zagreus was a remarkably capable young man, and he was quite proud of his son.  He was kind, intelligent, and remarkably witty, and not afraid to stand up for those who couldn't.  Oh, of course, he knew that Zagreus wasn't PERFECT; he'd inherited things from Hades himself, after all, but that didn't change how much he loved him.

"Let's see, last time talked about how all mortals eventually end up in the Underworld, and took a tour of each part of the realm," Hades mused, smiling over at his son, who was growing FAR too quickly for his liking.  "What do you want to learn today, Zagreus?"

@godbanes is getting a starter! ( @ zagreus )

Nico watched, mouth slightly agape as the godling slashed through the last of the monsters present in the chamber. He had thought his own Stygian Iron sword was pretty cool when he first got it, but it was a like comparing a water pistol to a machine gun with what Zagreus wielded. A part of him might’ve been jealous at the thought, but really he could only be impressed. A voice that sounded very young in his mind began to rattle off the stats of the weapon Stygius from the Mythomagic card, but if he had to guess now, Nico would say the weapon was way underpowered.

“How many times have you done this?”

He asked, awe in his voice, before he caught himself, mouth tugging down in a slight frown before he tried to mimic the sword swing. He was supposed to be learning, not just standing around and being useless.

@godbanes​  :    the prince of the underworld & the high queen oberon.   like for a starter. accepting.

‘  i  call  upon  the  aspect  of   . . .  ELATHAN? ‘   and with the prince’s voice does the queen of the moon offer him a charming laugh as she materializes in the underworld.  stygius has taken on a new form, a blade like a rapier, a dueling sword, and before him does a champion of a god stand. she is not as tall as him, for she was once mortal, but she carries the same grace as the mothers of the night sky like NYX , NIGHT INCARNATE.   ‘ well, hello. ’  she smiles at him.  ‘ for what purpose have you called upon my aid, milord? you look quite confused . . . ’
