#flavour text

[oathkeeper-of-tarth]

You know what I love? Flavour text on my items!

So here's some BG3 flavour text I found for Aylin's, Isobel's, and Ketheric's items, many of which are not lootable in-game - and some of which the characters themselves aren't seen wearing. I've had this lying around for a while, but now the toolset has given me a simple way to pluck out some neat "loot" visuals to go with the words. I'm going to list their names as they appear in the files, as well as include the non-unique descriptions some of them have (when they simply inherited from the template of another item of an appropriate type).

Aylin

Nightsong's Armour

Nightsong's armour is evocative of her personality - prickly, hardy, and about as agreeable as a clenched fist.

Nightsong Helmet

The Dame's resentment and anger toward Ketheric cannot be overstated. Still, her dreams rove sweeter corners, beyond the cruel hardwood floors of vengeance, the rooms of pain and discipline. Hers is a complex house, a house of the heart.

Nightsong Boots

Scratched in places, scorched in others, and worn thin at the heel, these boots bear the indelible marks of experience. (Metallic Boots default text)

Nightsong Gloves

Made from steel hammered thin, these gauntlets are a fine investment for any warrior. (Metallic Gloves default text)

Isobel

Moon Devotion Robe

A memory from her childhood: a warm bed. Through the cracked window, she could see the moonlight cupping the plums in the tree as if in silver hands. The name of the goddess Selûne came to her, and never left.

Isobel's Boots

Isobel's boots are haphazardly repaired, and have a humble snug fit for the wearer, snug as strong faith in the chest of a religious devotee.

Jhannyl's Gloves

(Left image is Isobel's actual visible gloves which don't have a "loot" equivalent, right is the visual for the ones that she actually has in her inventory)

Divine runes accentuate the finger pads. While not a religious sect, the Harpers do not demand the occlusion of religion in their members.

Isobel Headwear

She prayed for words and received silence. She prayed for intimacy and slept alone. She prayed for fruit and ate charcoal. She prayed for death and wanted to live. Then she grew older, and received things she'd wanted. Still she prayed.

Isobel's Circlet

Provides its wearer a touch of elegance but no additional protection. (Circlet default text)

Ketheric

Reaper's Embrace

Heavy steel bones and teeth enclose the armour's chest and neck like a grotesque exoskeleton that both swallows and protects the wearer.

Ketheric Circlet

Grants the wearer an austere presence, but no magical benefit. (Circlet default text)

Ketheric Circlet B

In his youth, Ketheric Thorm has the same puzzled, ever-curious brow belonging to any kid. Lamentable, that the brow this circlet adorned warped with tragedy and a sick determination over time.

Ketheric's Boots

Scratched in places, scorched in others, and worn thin at the heel, these boots bear the indelible marks of experience. (Metallic Boots default text)

Ketheric's Gloves

Not linked to any description and no "loot" visual I could find, but they're neat and have more little skeletons on them, so here they are.

Ketheric Cloak

Woven of heavy wool, this cloak is solid of make if somewhat stiff to wear. (Cloak default text)

Ketheric's Shield

In the theatre of dreams, Ketheric killed his wife every night. That wasn't how things happened... but always upon waking, he would glare into the dark, long-faced and solemn, and he would think: 'I keep you alive with my memories, beloved. I kill you with what I've become.'

Ketheric's Warhammer

This hammer's weight is centred on enchanted obsidian at the base of the head. Some nights before bed, Ketheric would sneak a whey-faced glance at the hammer, and think about the stone, and wonder what unknown facet of his heart bore his weight.

I’m in the planning stages of a card game and yes I will do mock ups just to nail down flavour text, because I am a silly little creature.

The Doctor and TARDIS are perfect for each other because they both have the same terrible taste in partners <3

My grandparent’s house is a treasure trove of oddities. It is to be expected as it is where two seventy-year-olds have stored all of their shiny things(Tm) over decades of “that’ll come in handy one day”.

My favourite thing to do is peer through one of their more cluttered shelving units kept in their spare bedroom. They barely touch it but I seem to find new things every time I look.

From the 3D jigsaw puzzle of a carousel to the book “Do Ants Have Arseholes”. I’ll never guess what I’ll see next.

Adobe express has no good thought bubble shapes. Oh well.

Truly one of the most deadly “I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE.” ever

Taking a look through this recently updated SimPE and found something I haven't seen before: Sim Profiles.

You get pretty boring ones like Ripp and Nervous here.

But you also get some weird ones too like for Lilith (teens can't woohoo in a vanilla game). This line doesn't show up for all teens, or all sims for that matter. (Thinking this over, I think the virgin line shows if a sim has been in a romantic relationship.)

"overweight chick" okay

I made a part two, warning for casual fat phobia 🥴

I love the loumand blood drinking scenes we get so much… we see ‘rashid’ offering his blood to louis so that his daily meal is provided for (and he obviously hasn’t killed anybody in years so it Has to be the little drink if louis needs to sustain himself) + armand pulling louis out of the paris catacombs and forcibly reviving him (does anybody ask lazarus what he wants?) + armand being the only person in divisadero capable of feeding louis and thereby contributing to his healing process after attempting suicide because daniel lost a lot of blood. there’s a pattern here.

waddle dees are the most common inhabitants of Dream Land. this simple foe walks left and right, harming Kirby if he bumps into it. while mostly harmless, some waddle dees have been known to loyally serve King Dedede

We’re doing the electrics in our house.

My partner has pointed out they’re swearing like an electrician.

Their curse of choice is “cunt muffin”.

Naturally we had quite the conversation on what that would look like and that it would “taste nice for some” whatever that means

genuinely going insane about how "we're scholars, not soldiers" (Babel, RF Kuang) fits in with Arcane. something something Jinx and Ekko are both brilliant prodigies born in an environment that forced them to be fighters something something Jayce and Viktor, for all their involvement in the conflict, were still inventors at heart something something
