The dragon immediately kills you, and goes back to guarding the village, now even harder to kill and grappling with its undead nature

You’ve slain the beast, but instead of payment the villagers kicked you out Enraged, you do what no mage has ever done: Ressurect a dragon.

....do not put the healer staff from the potion event on Arle do not put the healer staff from the potion event on Arle do not put the healer staff from the potion event on Arle--

Deeply cursed knowledge to impart on you all.

Arle's a 'spider' with six legs and wings.

She's a fucking daddy long legs.

Lynette was honestly the highlight of Arle's quest for me, just the sheer fucking deadpan (not helped by me finishing her hangout just before for primos for Arle, adding a 'Lyney. We literally. JUST. Went over this.' layer-) and also, she had far and away the easiest to see contributions in the boss-

[inkperch]

stars aligned so i could make this joke

[inkperch]

Peak fatherhood, she's sharing her story quest with her kids lmao-

i am happy and slightly confused to report that arlecchino's story quest convinced me to pull for...lyney

If anyone's wondering how it feels to be smug as fuck right now-

Okay, getting my last second prediction in.

Freminet is acting on Arle's orders.

This is the betrayal of the Tsaritsa they've been hinting at from the start. Arle's asked Freminet to 'hide' something from her as a test to Lyney, implying she's testing his loyalties, which she is but not to her. She's testing Lyney's loyalties to his siblings- to see if he can do what she could not, and defy Father to protect them. To defy the Fatui to protect them.

Her plan is to have Lyney kill her (irredeemable monster that she obviously is, a cold and unfeeling father that could never just. Do this in any kind of sane or normal way-) take her throne, and destroy the House of Hearth, in its current incarnation at least.

She waited until now because she will not be as Egaria was, burdening her child with the weight of a prophecy- hell, looking at it through this lens, the Archon quest literally could not have gone better for her. Lyney secured a powerful ally in the Traveller, cemented his strong ties with Navia and aided the Hydro Sovereign himself, the gnosis is completely gone (and with it, the Fatui's main interest) but there's still a full power Archon equivalent in Fontaine for whatever disasters may come.

The only bit I'm not 100 on is the stuff with other Harbingers being up to stuff in Fontaine, but hey, maybe that's what she's dealing with while we try and hide Frem from her-

You’re a Shapeshifter who was wounded by a monster hunter, in a last ditch effort for survival you shifted into a normal household pet and were whisked away by a plain human unaware of the supernatural where you’ve lived for the past three years. You thought you were safe, but they’re back…

....okay, that's actually really clever.

Like. Want to absolutely guarantee you don't accidently execute the one meant to save you over some misunderstanding? Make the chooser of the one the execution method. Want a built in anti-tyrant to your guillotine? Make it a chosen one picker.

Makes me think of a story of just. An objectively bad person being a chosen one, and being forced into a redemption arc by destiny (possibly with a side of 'The sword disapproves of being used to execute the unworthy, and this is it going on strike, no good heroes for you until you stop using me wrong-)

Anyone who tried to wield the legendary sword would instantly turn to dust. Your country uses this as a method of execution. Little did you know, you were the chosen one it was waiting for.

For your Vaggie AU, are you posting it on here or do you have an Ao3?

...Engage really had the worst luck possible with its release lol

Like. It's an anniversary game that got delayed past the anniversary due to circumstances entirely out of the companies hands, already off to a great start, but then the game just before it, the one developed alongside it as the game most recent in players minds, happened to bring in a ton of fans who'd never played the older games. Right before the anniversary game. That heavily plays on nostalgia and references to older games. To the point of having a ton of fan favourites return. Just after a bunch of new people joined the fanbase.

Like Engage got fucked over by the pandemic almost as bad as my life did lmaoo-

Nilah-

A witch cursed you with eternal happiness. You initially thought that she must have misspoken until you learn that your spouse, the love of your life, has died and it makes you feel happy.
