Finished dream daddy and I have . . . Thoughts
#random thoughts#dream daddy#okay so first of all i really like the writing and humor#at least in the main good routes#all the character designs are great#yadda yadda yadda okay can we talk about how underdeveloped some of these dads are???#specifically brian mat and hugo's routes were a bit lacking#mainly because their routes didn't really focus on a central flaw in their character like the other dads did#mat and hugo were trying to overcome A Thing and brian's route wasn't even about him like at all#it was more about the player character's daddy issues which like compelling but we're not supposed to be a character#mat's main character flaw is his social awkwardness but not even that because he doesn't perform cuz his WIFE DIED#hugo's route is just a series of events he doesn't even have a main character flaw#unless you count him being secretive about his hobbies??? which is literally just damien. they are the same#damien also kind of suffers from this lack of character flaws which affect his route but it's compensated for#with his direct relationship with other characters (mary)#who is hugo friends with? what about mat? brian?#the game really feels like joseph damien and mary were the characters they put the most thought into#with everyone else being an afterthought#really doesn't help that mat and hugo are the only dark-skinned dads#it really feels like they realized they were thin character-wise and made them poc to provide an illusion of depth#also??? why is mat's relationship with his daughter so underdeveloped???#she is literally just there.#and speaking of daughters i feel like brian's relationship with his daughter could have been a good focus for his route#like cmon he's raising a child who's DEF neurodivergent and doesn't know how to socialize her correctly#make him actually full of himself and think his way of parenting is the best way until you show him the light#at least don't make it focus on the fucking self insert mc#i like craig! nothing to say about craig. platonic ideal of a route.#wish more of the dads had relationships with each other on an individual level#like specifically with brian. have we seen brian talk to anyone outside the bbq???#and im not counting the texting thing this is base game ONLY. i think the texting thing is weird and poorly implemented

Fears:

Never getting to see Gilneas rebuilt
Ten Facts:
Dardillien’s mother was a Harvest Witch which is why growing up he and his sister were never sick. Neither of them knew she was a Harvest Witch and never found out, she took her secret to the grave. 
Dardillien’s real name is Damien. Dardillien comes from his mother, she used to call him that as a child because he was her “little hero” and it sounded heroic. So after she died in the Battle for Gilneas and he took the name just to honor her.
He has an “addiction” to being in his worgen form. If he goes a couple days without being in that form he begins to get withdraw like symptoms such as shaking, he uses alcohol to combat this.
Dardillien has no magic affinity at all. His ability to stealth comes from having a Shadow Familiar that he summoned from a Familiar Stone, it uses it’s Shadow Magic to conceal Dardillien when he needs to.
He has never met Genn Greymane, or any important lore character, unless you count the Druids who helped the Gilneans in Tal’doren.
He used to be a bartender in Gilneas, he started working at the bar when he was 18 and worked there until the night the Worgen attacked the city, he and the bar patrons heard the screaming and ran out of the bar to investigate. The rest is history.
After arriving in Stormwind he took up an apprenticeship at the Protective Hide armor shop and worked there for 5 years doing leatherworking.
The only time he is really in a flirty mood and will initiate flirting is when he is drunk, this doesn’t include a romantic partner he is already with.
While he is grateful to the Alliance, his allegiance will always be to Gilneas first and the Kaldorei second.  
Dardillien’s closest friend is Garrett Hawthorne who he met during the Fall of Gilneas. Garrett is the only person who has seen Dardillien at his darkest and helped him through it, he also trained Dardillien on how to use a sword and hand to hand combat.
