beccaelizabethToday I listened some Torchwood while playing Wrath of the Righteous.
I made a gnome to be a Trickster, and I chose Wenduag because I never have before due to 'hi I will recruit so many cannibals' being a not great plan.
... I have told myself my character listened to this and realised what she would do if we left her at home. I still feel bad about Lann though. I mean, he did nothing wrong, the game just forces a choice, and doesn't let you correct Wenduag when she lies about it.
I am playing on Core with Last Azlanti Mode saves.
I am failing more skill checks than usual but trying locks again with another character is actually working this time instead of Stuck Forever so that is manageable.
The thing I am learning about letting it control the saves is that just when you think 'oh heck I didn't heal before this fight this is going to go so badly' and therefore decide to redo however many minutes as penance for the screw up
it turns out it saved twenty seconds ago
and you are so screwed.
... I survived the fight but I think it took a dozen tries so random numbers did the heavy lifting.
I don't know if my character builds are any good, I tried a Sylvan Trickster for MC because I wanted a sleep hex, but I forgot to have an ongoing plan so it is anyone's guess what this character will be next.
I am once again unsure if this game is actually fun any more or if the difficulty level eats the fun or if I just need another story.
... I pretty much need another story. The only achievements left to do are difficulty ones, and the secret ending one that didn't acknowledge me.
I have also been trying to think of writing, like plot bunnies and characters to throw at them that are not just lightly reskinned fic characters or really ooc fic characters, either way in mega xover mode. Instead I keep starting a plot and ending up explaining the background to the characters over and over. Not quite the way.
But the Sunday tasks were achieved, dishwasher actually ran when I realised I'd used up all the things, and the only foods to not arrive can be picked up from another shop, so, pretty okays.
