for science (because im curious)
if you have more than one worldstate, pick for the one you consider your "main"/"canon" worldstate or the one you plan to use first for da4! also feel free to lay out your reasoning in the tags gushing about your dragon age runs is accepted and encouraged here.
#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#i know a lot of people have Theories about flemmeth's dialogue in da2#so im wondering if im actually in the minority bc i didn't leave hawke in the fade#not because i don't believe in the theory it just didn't make sense for my game#it used to be stroud but now it might be alistair sorry buddy we'll see how this current dao playthrough goes#your regularly scheduled art will return soon in the meantime indulge me in this poll and check out vox machina origins iv#will also be hilarious if im just in a weird bubble where everyone around me is leaving their hawke in the fade#i should elaborate on my choice too#niall has a baby (or is expecting one ive never truly decided) and varric is in the party for the quest#so even if he wanted to stay (if it's gonna be alistair why wouldn't he volunteer for the bastard king of ferelden)#his ass is getting dragged out of there

What I've Been Playing - October
Darq: psychological platformer horror
Status: Unfinished (3/6 chapters)
Initial Thoughts: I like the mechanics and the dreamlike atmosphere, less sold on the monster designs.
Rating: 3.7/5
Bramble: The Mountain King: Nordic horror adventure
Status: Unfinished (12/16 levels)
Initial Thoughts: I love this game so much. The music, the menace, the pathos. Only complaints are less accessible for D/deaf players and massive difficulty spike at level 12.
Rating: 4.8/5
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies: Fantasy turn-based JRPG
Status: Finished (x8)
Thoughts: I'm so glad that this game has held up for me since I was eleven. While I miss the aspects of having defined characters in your party, the running theme of coming to peace regarding death and missed opportunities more than make up for it.
Rating: 4.2/5
Avalon Code: fantasy action role play
Status: Unfinished (prev. 6/11 chapters, new 1/11)
Thoughts: This game has way more confusing controls than I remember when I was nine though I find fighting easier. The concept is really cool (you have to collect information to preserve before the world ends) and I had an early crush on some of the romantic interests. However, it's unwieldy and does not seem to make use of its core conceit.
Rating: 2/5.
That wraps up October's game update, I guess. DQ III's remake comes out next month but we'll find out if I have any money, then.

When was the first 3D video game published? Trick question, this is a post about how "3D video game" is a meaningless phrase.
In 1984, King's Quest: Quest for the Crown was published. King's Quest was marketed as a "3-D Animated Adventure," even though it looked like this:
At first glance, it looks like any other low-resolution 16-color adventure game of the pre-EGA era. But it has one revolutionary feature that sets it a step above its peers: You can walk behind things.
To be clear, that's basically it. There's not even sprite scaling or anything; King Graham is the same size whether he's close to the "camera" or not. Modern gamers would probably find it a bit ridiculous to say this game has a "camera" at all. But you can walk around in that green field, and you can go behind the tree or the castle tower, and those things would hide the part of Graham's sprite behind them—and you could also walk in front of them!
Well, if you didn't fall off the bridge. Why did Roberta Williams never put handrails on those things?
Anyways, the next game I'm going to mention is Wolfenstein 3D (1992), another game which marketed itself on cutting-edge 3-D technology.
You can see a lot of graphical improvement between these two games set in castles, and not just because Wolfenstein has thrice the resolution and 16 times the colors. The sprites can be scaled with their distance from the camera, for instance, and the backgrounds aren't static flat planes. They're dynamic flat planes, capable of warping as your angle to the wall changes.
In some ways, this is as great a leap over King's Quest as King's Quest is over Zork, or at least Mystery House. But is it really 3D? It's still just a bunch of distorted 2D sprites being drawn to the screen. There's nothing really 3D going on in the computer. It's no Super Mario 64 (1996).
SM64 is among the first popular "real 3D" games, with models and polygons and stuff. And it is, again, a great leap above Wolfenstein 3D. It doesn't distort 2D sprites to mimic 3D shapes; it shapes 2D textures around 3D models. Totally different! It has polygons and stuff!
Now, I'm not 100% sarcastic about that. There are some technical differences between how SM64 handles its textures and how Wolfenstein and other Id shooters handle their sprites. But those differences aren't so much "doing something completely different" as they are "doing the same thing with fewer limitations".
And it would be absurd to claim that Wolfenstein graphics have more in common with KQ1 than with SM64. It would be even more absurd to say that SM64 has less in common with W3D than it does with older and newer titles using what people commonly consider 3D technology.
On the left we have Battlezone (1980), an arcade title which predates KQ1 as much as W3D predates SM64. It has little in common with Wolfenstein's graphics, not needing to distort any kind of 2D image file to mimic 3D, because it's just wireframes.
From a graphical perspective, it has more in common with KQ1 than W3D; both use vector graphics. (Bitmap images would take too much storage space for KQ1.) In fact, you could probably make a compelling argument that KQ1 and Battlezone's vector graphics have more in common with each other on a technical level than they do with Wolfenstein's 3D sprites or SM64's 3D models.
And on the right...it's either leaked security cam footage from Area 52, or The Callisto Protocol (2022). I can't explain what separates it graphically from the other games in this post, because there are so many new systems—systems which require specialist graphical engineers to understand, let alone create or use. I could rattle off some technical terms like subsurface scattering and cloth simulations and soft-body deformation, but I don't understand these techniques on anything but the shallowest level, and TCP has elevated them to another level.
I know it sometimes seems like graphical technology stopped having Big Improvements some time around the seventh or eighth console generation, but it kept going. The difference, I'd argue, is that the improvements have been more spread-out, enabled less by advances in hardware technology and more by learning how to use those advances, distributed throughout a hardware generation rather than concentrated at the start.
Anyways. The point I'm trying to make is that modern games make every prior game in this post look ridiculously primitive. SM64 was impressive in its day, but Mario is rendered with less than a thousand triangles, separated into several rigid components. And his face is just a couple dozen flat polygons with a texture printed on them. Even modern indie games often animate eyeballs with more polygons than Mario's entire body, with the eyeball and eyelid and so forth all being separate models with textures and shaders bringing them to life. Giving them more depth.
Making them even more 3D.
There is not a firm line between 2D and 3D. Wolfenstein 3D is more 3D than King's Quest I, and Super Mario 64 is more 3D than either of them, and Skyrim more 3D than that, and The Callisto Protocol more 3D still. If someone dismissed Doom as not being "real 3D," they're drawing an arbitrary distinction around one of many graphical innovations that made gaming graphics incrementally more verisimilitudinous. That's all.

AU where Loki gets banished for Thor/Warriors 4 going to Jotunheim and he just settles down on Earth. Copes with the blue arm by ignoring it completely since he's been disowned and dumped on Earth anyway. There's probably a way to 'prove himself worthy' and 'get back to Asgard' but he never bothers with it.
#years later Thor uses it like a getaway home#which would annoy Loki more if he didn't decide not to care about everything already#Thor running off to him after arguing with their father over some petty thing and asking if he can stay over a while#basically staying over at his bro's house bc his bro moved out and is far away now#Odin never restricted Thor from visits but is getting impatient about Loki returning#Odin was waiting for Loki to get back to promote Thor to king#but Loki has no intention to do that and when Odin realises this he blows a gasket#no wonder Thor's always pouting and dragging his feet around the palace#no brother his friends don't fare perfectly fine on quests anymore and his father delayed his coronation for the foreseeable future#smh#at least Loki's place has video games

You ever see something that is meant to be like...an overgeneralized statement for the sake of entertainment or comedy and not at all serious but it's about YOUR special interest and you are just sitting there trying not to explode with an entire explanation of why it's such an overgeneralized statement and the depth of the topic
#spitblaze says things#like. im not about to shame anyone about this. i WANT more people to be interested in video games as a storytelling medium#and calling someone a fucking casual about it Does Not Help#but it IS still a big big overgeneralization to say that all games in the 80s were simple arcade style deals#adventure games came into being in the 80s! maniac mansion and kings quest and snatcher! all 80s titles!#if we wanna go back even further the first Ultima game was 1979! as soon as we had the technology to make more narrative and complex games#we DID#obviously we see more of that now because its the easiest its ever been to make video games and put infinite thought and resources into#worldbuilding and narrative#and YEAH most 70s and 80s games were simple bc uh. our computers werent that good yet lol#but like. oh my god dragon quest and final fantasy 1 came out a year apart in thr 80#do not tell me it was all run jump get the coin lol

Will I ever expect Nintendo writing a Ganondorf who's trying to break the curse and end the cycle? No. I simply think their faithful adherence to the nature of fairytales about the knight rising up to face evil and save the princess is simply that strong. It's a classic (in the most literal sense cite Perseus and Andromeda). It's why I don't believe in a playable Zelda until I see it with my own eyes.
While the earnest nature of providing interesting spins on this millennia old formula is rather endearing, I would welcome earnest breaks in turn as well. Yet until I see it, I simply won't be holding my breath for when it comes.
#no slight to anyone wanting either thing in totk but 35 years of narrative precedence is pretty strong#that being said if you ask me my ''dream Zelda game'' much of the plot involves something regarding either one#i think a zelda game where the king of hyrule is zelda's elder brother. a game where link and zelda have long since been married#and the main villain isnt ganon but say an invader of another kind.#but ganondorf is present. a young traveling mercenary informed of his fate to become the king of evil and trying for a cure from that fate#zelda is not taken but an active participant; frequently joining link traveling around hyrule or breaking off to buy more equipment#and do some scouting of her own#it has botws exploration but maybe some linearized pieces of development like a dungeon thats a fortress wall blocking off parts of the map#random encounters against Ganondorf who's time is running out and desperately trying to find zelda#until the two of you are travelling and he ambushes you.#you can lose and must rescue her from his lair. you can fend him off. or you can defeat him and track him down#the first has minimal changes to the ending of the game. the second has a surprise ganon fight. and the third reveals a quest#one where he explains his plight and help break his curse#and in the end the three of you face the villain side by side#i think that would be a cool game#zelda#legend of zelda#tears of the kingdom#totk#loz
