Did you ever like any of the sort-of-romantic interests in the first Horizon Zero Dawn game? I got really invested in Aloy and thought she was too good for any of them.

Nothing against most of them; might just be my ace side showing

I totally understand what you mean! :D I got so invested in Aloy too!

I didn't see Aloy getting any romantic interest in the first game either - it just felt right to me that she was not ready to get close to anyone at that time. There just was something in her solitude.

I really enoyed seing her development in HFW, when she slowly started to truly open up to closer relationships. But I can't imagine it (especially in a romantic way) for her in the first game.

Their eyes

Just some screens of various characters' eyes, because I like that. No actually, I LOVE that. I mean : the details, the lights, the colors, and you can see what decor they're looking at (without the characters) reflected in their eyes !!! This is amazing !! Such an incredible work !!

A pity it is so hard to screen them with photomode (or I'm just bad at it, I'll admit xD and I still can't move the camera in cities unfortunately, that's why I don't have Petra for example, and I can't always change the hour of the day... >.<) I think I'll try to take another one of Zo's & probably also for Kotallo (there can never be enough of him), and I'd like to do this for Morlund/Abadun/Stemmur & Silga too; Maybe Yarra & Drakka ? Hm.. I'll have to see ! :D Anyway, if they are some characters for whom you wanna see me try to (re)do the same thing, tell me here and I'll give it a shot (don't know when but we'll see xD) !

Let's go

Favorite Mass Effect romance, if any? When it's M!Shep it's Tali and F!Shep is Garrus for me. Call it cliche, but they're cliche for a reason.

Same for me! So no, I personally wouldn't call it cliche. Just like you said, there is a reason for both romances to be so popular. I've never played as MShep, but Tali is one of my favourite ME characters, so if I ever did, she would definitely be my number one romance choice.

And on each and every one of my ME playthroughs (played the trilogy 5 times, and I'm still in the middle of ME2 on my sixth go :D) I've always chosen Garrus as my LI. I just can't get myself to play any other romance, I love him too much as a character and I think he's a perfect partner for my FemShep <3

It’s a couple years late, but I’m finally playing HFW and just did Kotallo’s first mission, the Broken Sky. And I just have to say I love that man already 😂

Not only is he voiced by an incredibly talented and kind VA such as yourself, but his sheer dryness and the line delivery made me laugh harder than I have in a long time, especially when paired with Aloy’s pure sass.

The line that absolutely took me out though was the soft pouting “that was an unkind comparison :/” after Aloy asks if he’s going to disobey Hekkaro like that “arrogant shit” Tekotteh. I laughed SO hard at that one.

So thank you, and keep up the amazing work as the Kotallo brainrot sets in and I already am thinking of snippets to write.

Haha thank you! I'm so happy that people liked Kotallo. It's funny, the 2 characters I was SURE folks would hate were Kotallo and Charles Smith, so the reaction was a wonderful surprise. The writing team at Guerrilla deserves all the praise - they gave me so much to work with. Broken Sky was all performance capture, because I was lucky enough to shoot that scene before the pandemic locked everything down. I think if I hadn't found Kotallo's physicality, I never would have found his voice. "That was an unkind comparison..." hahaha yeah, I remember the reaction in the room when I walked off muttering that line - that was a good one. 😁

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Chris Moore. He and Chris Foss were the giants of UK scifi book cover art during 1970s and 80s. I was lucky enough to own an original by Chris
