DAV is maximized (made for?) Tank/Warrior players

Curiosity is absolutely one of my fatal flaws. I was sorta feeling shitty about the whole 'you probably just suck at the fighting system in DAV' thing.

Let me preface this with saying that I'm good with rogues. It's my usual playstyle and I almost always do a first run of any RPG as a rogue.

What I'm really not all that good at? Tanks. Pretty much any other class I'm at least suitably competent with. I mean, I can tank, but it's just not something I'm more than acceptably good at. I also have very little experience with them. I think I've tanked in 3 games? Out of the, it must be hundreds, of games I've played? I just don't prefer to tank. I'm a rogue/mage/healer style player. The one who backs up the tank or keeps them on their feet, y'know?

So, because curiosity will likely be the death of me at some point, and despite never wanting to touch it again, I made a warrior character in DAV. I just... had to know if it was me or the game. I suppose I enjoy actually being a good gamer more than I suspected. DAV offended my pride, perhaps. Self-awareness isn't comfortable.

That fighting system, that I had so much trouble with as a rogue (with other rogues and a mage as backup since we don't get our tank companions til later in act one) has, so far, been so fucking easy as a warrior I'm actually thinking of increasing the difficulty level.

DAV is just maximized for warrior players and people who like to bash barrels in, not any other class. Which is just shitty game design.

I suppose I should have seen it before. The rest of the companions you start with are all support characters. Two rogues and a mage. Your first companion you aquire is Bellara, also a rogue. Oops. Mage. Bellara is a mage. I forgor.

I dunno, I'm going to run this character until I get to the spot (when Harding receives her special ability) where I first wanted to rage quit as a rogue. But so far? I haven't died once. I'd gotten creamed numerous times as a rogue character by this spot in the game. I can go toe to fucking toe with a fucking ogre! And only have to heal once!

It's truly ridiculous. I'll test out mage after, if I can find the patience. It's reasonably unlikely that I'll actually decide to finish this run. Unless I do it for writing my fix it fic reasons . But I can kinda see more clearly why some people actually liked it. It's actually almost fun as a tank.

I did also say I'd never touch DAV again too, though, soooooo.

If you turn your brain completely off, don't give a shit about the Lore, and if the story is a back seat sort of thing for you as a gamer, this might actually be somewhat fun. It's not Dragon Age regardless, they screwed the pooch to sell the pups on that one. (I'm a Lore fiend, story and character first player. I legitimately don't give a shit about the fighting in RPGs. It's a back seat thing for me. As long as I can make it work, I'm good.)

SMDH

I said DAV was wickedly unbalanced in my review series, but I didn’t think it was so bad that they... just didn't bother to make it a fun game for rogue players. Despite them getting rid of half of what makes playing a rogue fun (sneaking, hiding in shadows, picking fucking locks, y'know, rogue stuff.) Not sure about mages yet. I do want to try one just out of pissed off, irritated curiosity, though.

Snorts. They made this game for warrior players. And I can't honestly find words to describe how shitty that is. It lacks most of the stuff that makes any RPG an actual RPG. It's maximized for warriors and people who like to destroy barrels. (Why. Why the fucking barrels?) Rogues are nothing but light skirmishers. I'll have to actually play a mage and see, but I've talked to people who said it's easy as a mage, too.

WTAF does BioWare have against rogue players to nerf the class so badly?

I'm honestly floored by how easy this game is as a warrior. I'll even test it out on max difficulty, (which is usually what I play at, max or one down).

But the shittiness of designing a game mostly for tank players can't be ignored. I changed nothing but the class. And I'm not far enough into the game yet for build to matter that much. I think I've gotten roughly 5 skill points to put into my character.

No wonder they denied game keys to honest reviewers.

a/n oops i almost forgor to post this

the only sounds in the house were the sounds of your metal utensils clinking against the dinner plate you ate from. his dinner plate was sat across from you in his designated dinner spot, but he was absent.

you lift up the paper napkin to gently tap on the corners of your lips where the alfredo sauce missed your mouth.

your exhausted eyes scanned the room, eyeing the several pots and pans and dishes you fought with to make this meal. the meal that the both of you talked about trying, the meal that the both of you promised to eat together tonight, the meal that the both of you wanted to work on together.

part of you had hoped that he’d be here before his food got cold. but you felt cold in the low dress you picked out to surprise him with. your shoulders on display and the necklace he gifted you for your three year anniversary shined in the dim light of the candles that illuminated the table. you felt cold as your alfredo was no longer steaming, but cold and sad as you ate slowly. part of you hoped that the slower you ate the faster he would arrive. but no.

the clocked ticked. thirty minutes. thirty five minutes. forty minutes. you didn’t want to cry. you had worked so hard on this makeup for him. you eye the fragments of the red lipstick on the napkin, eyes glossed and blurred with tears. the red looked like blood. like the blood that surged through your too-sad-to-be-angry veins.

there were just a few bites of your meal left on your plate. several were on his.

sadly, you lift the fork to your mouth and finish off the final bits of food on your plate. that's when you hear the door unlock. the fumble of keys against the door. the fumble of keys and hands trying to open the door as fast as possible.

you do nothing to help him as you stand up and make your way to the kitchen. sighing at the sight of piles of dishes of your hard work and labor for him tonight for him to only miss it.

the door swings open.

“you look so beautiful tonight, baby. what's the occasion?”

with a loud clink the plate falls from your hand and into the sink. in the house nothing can be heard besides the sounds of the running water and the faintest of music that you had played for the both of you to dance in the kitchen to after your meal.

“baby?” he asks, and you hear footsteps as he approaches you from behind. you feel a warm hand on your shoulder before you jerk away, turning the water off and going back to the table. “baby, what's wrong?” he called for you.

you’re still silent as you pick up your phone and dial an all too familiar number that you’ve never memorized. not until the number of fights between you and yangyang climbed. not until the number of late nights and broken glasses climbed. not until you cried yourself to sleep because you didn't know what to do. not until you woke up every day, wondering if maybe, just maybe… something can go right for once.

“baby, answer me.” you can faintly hear him over the sounds of your phone ringing and the new voice on the line as renjun. the one person who stuck by your side after every disagreement. the one who would sing you to sleep to dry your tears away. the one who soothed and reassured you and brought you ice cream when you were supposed to be having “ice cream tuesday date night” with your boyfriend. the boyfriend you spent countless hours fantasizing and dreaming of a wedding, wondering what he had in store for you when he’d get down on one knee and ask you those four little words every woman wants to hear.

renjun knew when you called late at night you needed him. “pick me up.” the words he hated the most. he always thought the worst of the worst. he was always scared something got too physical. he knew yangyang wouldn’t intentionally hurt you… but he still feared the worst.

“you’re leaving again. i just got home.”

“and that's why. you’re falling out of love with me, aren’t you?” you ask. you don’t hang up the phone.

“what?”

“when was the last ice cream tuesday?”

he opens his mouth like he’s gonna say something. nothing comes out of his mouth. you want to throw your phone. slide down the wall, let hot tears continue to roll down your face. you can hear the faint sounds of keys rattling and renjun hanging up.

“i asked, when was the last ice cream tuesday.” your question wasn’t a question any longer. but a demand. “when was the last fucking ice cream tuesday.”

“i don’t remember.” he brings his hand to his neck, scratching it slowly.

“seven weeks yangyang. seven weeks in counting.” you wipe snotty tears as both liquids roll down your face, ruining your makeup. he reaches a hand to wipe it clean, but you flinch once more. “don’t touch me.” the words hurt you to say.

“baby…” his arms fall to his sides in defeat.

the uncomfortable silence is broken with the doorknob twisting and turning when your best friend slips inside, nothing but anger on his face.

renjun approaches you and takes your hand in his. you silently vow to not come back to your apartment, not until he can make things right.

md's fun silly little top 10(ish) arts of the 2023!*

*pretend there's a fun cute doodled banner here (i was going to make one earlier and then i forgor)

doing a lil recap of my top 10 15 (it was supposed to be 10 and i could not narrow it down oops) best(? this is subjective as fuck i guess it's more like my personal faves) drawings of the year! *the crowd cheers* (it’s me I’m the crowd)

15: paradise by the dashboard light! i hate to rank her so low bc i spent ages on her but it seems i don't love the result that much anymore so :/ a for effort for me tho this was ambitious

14: cheer girl loml <33 not my best art technically by far but i went way out of my comfort zone for the background and the art style (for no good reason really) (i just wanted to do a comic book thing bc superhero vibes or whatever) (it did not come out the way i was hoping it would bc i think i got too frustrated) and we simply must acknowledge that. atog did things to me that i cannot explain

13: barbie meme brittana! not my best britt but truly sooo fun to work on. there's nothing quite like finding a fun rendering process and then never using it again (i don't even remember how i coloured this but i like it)

12: cowboy barbie brittana <3 they look good, they're about to kiss, cute outfits, pretty sunset, probably went overboard with the rim lighting, what's not to love? a banger, i think

11: i say a little prayer! i think the background is. questionable at best. but this is still really fun! i think i got possessed when i got to the uniforms bc goddamn they look good

10: klaine?? on this blog???? almost unheard of lmao i truly did not think i would like this one as much as i did. i'd consider ranking it higher if i wasn't constantly Unwell over brittana but again, i'm biased, and no one here should be surprised about that

9: pre-wedding kiss my beloved! with how insane i've been over this kiss it could perhaps be higher. i am gnawing on my desk as we speak i'm not even sitting at a desk rn

8: rutherchang x black swan!! ohhh u guys i don't talk about this one enough i think it's so pretty i don't even remember how i did the colours for it but rhgfdkngd?? love her, love pushing the glee x bts agenda, if any of u gifmakers are interested in making a mike chang x black swan lyric gifset i will love u forever

7: colour wheel challenge! busted my whole tiddies and ass for this one fellas. labour of love etc etc i think staring at the bright colours for so long made my eyesight worse and i'm ok with that

6: mistletoe brittana <33 easily the best instalment of this series by a long shot! recency bias (and also just. regular bias) made me rank her much higher originally but technically she is not the most intricate piece so she must sit down here

5: prom queen kurt! dare i say a girlslay on my behalf? i think i dare. every time i see it i think i should do more glosters (glee posters) and then i don't. i could tho they would be really cool (source: dude trust me)

4: churro kiss redraw!!! genuinely Not Sane over this! never have been, never will be! redraws are like crack to me and so is this kiss

3: furtana!! i neglected them for far too long this year but if neglecting them results in art like this i may have to do it again

2: heart kiss <3 if we're being really honest and vulnerable in the chat tonight i think this is technically my best of the brittana kiss screencap redraw things i've done this year? which i did not see coming but i guess practice means refining the process etc etc so. it makes sense ig. mwah to them <3

1: black or white gcv animation <3 it's not what i would call my best drawing (bc it's, yknow, not just one drawing) but it is what i would call the product of a very obsessive thought and some frantic art sessions. objectively it's the coolest thing i've done this year so it deserves the top spot. i'm proud of it i hope to glanimate more next year. also this isn't art but it's a relevant post that i still stand by months later

[astronomodome]

OOPS I’m in my garages life series arc again. I forgor about the big project I almost completed. Oh well the art is old but I still like it, I’ll finish it up in a bit and post it >:)

[eon-of-axolotls]

i forgot! to make an intro post when i first made my account! so i am doing that now instead of putting it off again and forgetting for another six months. oops

i go by eon! she/they, whatever works.

i keep meaning to post art stuff (mostly just doodles or polymer clay stuff) and keep forgetting to. what I have managed to upload is all under #art.

i also post bugs i find when i remember. this should hopefully all be tagged under #bugs.

as a result of me forgetting/putting off actually posting stuff. my blog is mostly reblogs right now. i am going to make an account for purely art stuff at some point when I figure out a name!

i do not frequently add tags under reblogs because it is almost 100% always real social anxiety hours sorry about that. pretend i added nice funny tags if i reblogged something.

asks exist if you want to do that? that is fine and cool!

uhhhhhhhyyyyggg what else

yeah I like BUGS and DRAGONS and CREATURES

i have ocs but posting about them is soso scary. sorry. i will do it one day

other fandoms I am in (?) (does it count as being in a fandom when you are not really doing any interacting. whatever) are Flight Rising (user Is EonOfAxolotls there), splatoon, monster hunter, kirby, pokemon, uhhhhh. probably a lot of other stuff but i forgor.

sorry for the long post. here's a jumping spider i found the other day he was very cool

[mex-sickos]

Day two of meet the mipys go!

We've got another beloved lineup of mine with no real "forcing my hand with meta characters" just my silly little skrunklies who I love

Mipy 1: Asuzer forma de white girl summer

I have her in her normal outfit because I think it's really funny that her dark version has like flowers and shit and her normal version (wind) is really intense and locked tf in, she's up there as one of my top skrunklies who I would die for if asked (yes it's because she's narmys adopted little sister but even if she wasn't she's a really cute and sweet oomfie and also katana wielding draph so I've kinda got a gun to my head on this one), another reason she's one of my favorite is because she's a really rogue but good unit (she's got insane damage but she's got an accuracy penalty and a whole resource system you have to manage where she won't attack while you're building up resource that let's her build accuracy but everytime she does damage she uses up one of said resource) she's such a cool character from design to playstyle to also she has the highest burst damage out of any of my units (her damage skill does like 10 million damage and her ougi isn't far behind) she's easily up there with my specialest little girls 15/10 minimum but I'd go higher if I respected my rating system less oops almost forgor the artifact again it's alright but honestly it's just my only dark katana relic it's winning by showing up

Mipy 2: cheesed to meet you

What do I need to fucking say it's the mouse the myth the legend my fucking rat look at her mickey mouse ass I love her more then life itself 15/10 Olay but serious this time she's really just lu woh if using her didn't make me want to end it she's got the cute factor she's got the "being a rat" going for her she's got an ougi that makes everyone do more damage and a skill that let's everyone attack twice once you've built up enough hitting harder juice I love her to pieces artifact wise she's got a pretty good one most notable bit being supplemental CA damage and the incredibly funny bit of her being able to just steal jewelry from the opponent every once in a while.... that rating wasn't a bit btw I am serious about her being a 15/10 "um smoomfie aren't you devaluing your system a bit if you're gonna rate everyone above 10?" Why yes hypothetical reader who doesn't actually exist that's why yo mamma dead but also I don't care and later you'll see that there are one or two characters I'm not particularly fond of being loadbearing tm so um krill yourself

Mipy 3: hallesthenics

An admittedly newer member of the group so I won't really be gushing about how much she means to me personally (although I did skim her fate episode a bit and she's pretty funny there was something about her being in a fruit themed zombie apocalypse featuring watermelon also she uses a chainsaw btw) but she's actually so goated because you know my silly rats do more damage juice? She actually builds that shit ridiculously quick, autouses her damage skill frequently (meaning she incentives me buffing asuzer more) and also has infinite double CA activation after she builds her resources meaning she's insane for building CA meter (which if you haven't noticed all my girlie's love) so she's kinda oomfieing out with what we've got going on to say the least

Last but not least I'm actually gonna include one of the bench warmers because he's a tad important

Mipy EX: Gay sex the cat I mean um what were we talking about?

Kou is kinda my fixer he's an astounding healer paired with the rat and he can keep the party alive for a very long time while he takes several punches from God because he's just built different the only caveat to this being that he kinda has to take asuzers spot which isn't gonna fly so I only use him when I have a very long battle ahead and I can't just cheese it by calling backup he was my dark carry for a very long time tho so he's very near and dear to my heart, artifact wise he's pretty kitted ngl it's not insane but it's kinda werking 10/10 he also doubles as my dei foxgirl that I legally have to have (we make him wear a maid outfit when the inspector comes)

The last oomfie I won't post but tsukuyomers *was* my first premium summon (like the calls she's actually a fairly new unit for me) that I finished so she's special to me plus she's also got a pretty nice subskill that increases skill damage even when she's benchwarming so she's kinda gaming

Method:

Won't spend long her, basically we work our way from rat to djeeters to halleceyon to asuzer with he intentions of just letting it rip afterwords, it's not quite as cohesive as my light team but I'm still very proud as it's some of my best damage in the game per capita

[skrunksthatwunk]

OK finished ylad chapter 12 here's some spoiler ass thoughts

so basically a couple weeks ago I went into the saejima/majima fight underleveled, got my ass beat, ground out like 15 levels, and today I returned and SWEPT that shit. wonderful time i was super happy to see the tag team saemaji super spin or whatever they called it :)

majima's body language is super weird in this game he's just shrugging Like That all the time and instead of manspreading he gave us this gay little crossed leg thing which is cool and hey majima what did you mean by this

????????? babygirl WHAT 😳😳😳

anyway

no but shortly after when they're like prepping to fight alongside majima, saejima, arakawa, and tendo and the disbandment meeting ichiban's like >:D omg!! I'm fighting with the legends!!! and nanba was like "now is NOT the time to get a hard on" sorry i forgor to screenshot that one. like cut it out guys!! why is this chapter so SUS it's almost like gay people

SPEAKING OF WHICH THE KIRYU REVEAL WAS SO. OH MY GOD YO

like i knew he was in this game but if i didn't that wouldve made me lose my shit. i kinda lost my shit anyway. i missed him 🥺 and daigo's jaw being on the floor oh my god poor thing can you imagine. that's his PAPA oh my godd

meanwhile majima and saejima were BOTH like "lol finally. was wonderin when ya'd show back up again" ???? so he's still bad at going into hiding and/or everyone thinks he's too strong to kick it. love him dearly my sweet dense boy

too bad that fight was so easy though bc like,, ichiban hyped it up as being crazy tough like he can't move anymore and he called it legendary like babe it took me like. 5 moves max. calm down. they couldve at least used the classic rgg trick or just putting more guys in there to make it "tougher" (read: longer) if they really wanted that impression. idk but it was silly so who cares

aaaaand then arakawa dies which i also accidentally spoiled for myself oops poor ichiban oh noo :((

he's fucking WILTING somebody help him :((

anyway it's cool cuz he still loves his friends and whatever. I'm having a blast this game is good <3
