water 7 geopolitics.

water 7 is an independent citystate of the world government despite having a working contract with the world government they don't have to enforce their law because they're not under the world government

it's complicated, the laws are independent and the world government doesn't enforce their law 99% of the time because of the fact galley la could just stop making boats for them and that would be extremely bad

galley la is able to use the boat relationship as leverage politically to the detriment of the world government (this is why they got away with enies lobby no consequences style) as long as they keep making boats for them/in aid of the civil war on pirates.

water 7's political strategy protects their own independence while playing both sides in regards to the civil war on pirates, which you could argue is actively harming other nations independence of the world government (like wano)

Knight Plays: Pillars of Eternity

Part I || Part II || Part III || Part IV

This is my first time chronicling my playthrough of a game, but it seems like @brightoncemore​ has fun doing it and it would be neat to save my reactions for posterity. I think this is a good game to start with! I’m going into this run about 98 percent blind, considering that all I know prior to playing is that there’s an elf guy named Aloth in it at some point.

Anyway, time to start my first run of this game~

First thoughts: 

It definitely perfected the “oldschool RPG” look. I’m impressed by how nostalgic AND well-put together this character model style is! Nice. Oh man, though, I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the options given to me right off the bat.

When in doubt in these situations, I usually just go wood elf rogue. I appreciate that the game tells you what attributes are good to put points in for the chosen class - especially since they aren’t using the typical DnD ones. 

I’m picking culture PURELY based on what armor I like best because even though there’s helpful descriptions about the cultures I don’t know enough about the setting yet to know what’s “normal” or “unusual” for any of these... 

Aedyr seems neat, though?

SO, MEET BRYN:

Time for actual gameplay commentary, now -

I have a bad feeling about this stop. The fact that everyone keeps warning Bryn about “evil winds” and stuff has my Writer’s Sense tingling and telling me “there’s gonna be an evil wind.”

“Water’s not going anywhere.” Maybe not, but I feel like you might.

(I was proven right pretty quick, oops.)

Ow, poor Heodan. That wound sounds BAD. Don’t die on me, bud.

Oh, a script event?! INTERESTING. I like this.

Heodan, AAAH - I managed to save you AGAIN, but you’re not doing too great, are you? OOF.

I feel like this situation with these guys is setting up a “one or the other” type thing. If I press on, Heodan’s gonna die. If I rest... Calisca’s going to leave. Oh well, I don’t want Heodan’s death on my hands.

Oh. Well. Not only did she run, but she ran right through a fire trap. :T I don’t feel TOO bad, though. That was on HER, not ME...

Now I prove how bad I am at being a rogue by accidentally setting off three fire traps myself while trying to get that waterskin back, WHOOPS.

I don’t like the sound of this ritual thing -

And Heodan’s dead. WELL. I’m on my own now, I guess.

Skipping ahead through some meadow wandering to the first town, Gilded Vale. Sounds like a nice, cozy starting town...

...oh man, that’s a lot of bodies on that tree. Yikes. I’d like to take back the “cozy” comment I just made.

Take back “nice,” too. This is creepy. What the heck is going on here...?

Oh, hello man with a face portrait. I’ve played enough RPGs to know that means you’re (probably) recruitable.

AND HELLO, ALOTH! Wow, I didn’t know he joined up so early! And he starts sounding more brogue when he’s MAD? Okay, I’m PREDICTABLE but HELLO, MY NEW FRIEND. (He’s probably going to be my favorite.)

Hm. He doesn’t like drinks. I SEE. I’m guessing there’s a story behind that, but whether it’s more “I’m a man of refined taste and this stuff is shit” or “I can’t hold my alcohol” I will have to find out later.

One creepy dream and talk with a dead dwarven lady later, Edér has joined the group as well~ He sounds familiar, though. *narrows eyes* 

(Later learned that yep, Edér is voiced by Matt Mercer... and so is Aloth! Well then. INTERESTING.)

Time to run along now, away from Creepy Vale and to Caed Nua.

“I saw you in the flames.” Well, can’t say I like him but this rag-tag group is getting a little bigger.

AND ANOTHER - though I have to say, Kana seems WAY cooler than the Flames Man, Durance. (Is that a gun? HE USES A GUN? NEAT.)

And this is getting a bit long, so cutting off the first part here. Hope you guys enjoyed my antics/shenanigans? There will be more coming later~
