A video I put together from a little art/dance party I "hosted" (aka was there lol) - Super fun! We also had a drawing room mural. :D It made me super happy to see ppl partake in the drawing room!! ; v ;
not me thinking abt how estinien is consistently one of the most emotionally intelligent characters (at least when it comes to other people) we have yet this is constantly forgotten or minimized
"I hate these particular characters/groups cuz they killed people, and death is bad!"
"So we should kill all these other characters and anyone associated with them because they're all inherently bad and that will solve all the problems and we can live happily ever after!"
Quick, which antagonists, nations, groups, or other lore figures am I talking about?
(Answer: pretty much any and all of them)
I know this is a video game where we violently fight everything for experience and loot, and to move story (though some NPCs seem to die a lot less often than the defeat animations would indicate).
But there's a real interesting thought process in how some folks see the "obvious" resolution to handling some characters/groups only in terms of punishment.
Especially despite much of the story's own discussions of rebuilding, second chances, and reforging community (and how that often works better than simply beating down others).
Once the centre of a great, academic city, the recently resettled town of Idyllshire is always bustling with life. The chattering of fellow adventurers, the whistling of steam from the goblins' workshop, the carefree laughter of children who know they have a warm bed and meal waiting for them... it never fails to bring a smile to Arsay's face.
