Update on my Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous obsession: I have fallen head over heels in love with Areelu. I'm OBSESSED with this woman. She may be responsible for causing the apocalypse, but I don't care. I love her. I'm kind of tempted to angle for the secret ending, but we'll see what happens.
Also, I've been torn between romancing Lann and Galfrey, but I just did Lann's personal quest in Chapter 4, and I think that sold me on him. I love that man to the ends of the earth, and we all know I love some whump-adjacent things. (though I do wish that being near Samankelev actually gave him negative buffs.... Would it make the fight more miserable? Yes. Do I want it anyways? Also yes.)
Also, Woljif and Arushalae are my best friends. Woljif's personal quest in Chapter 4 and him calling my character "the best thing that ever happened to [him]" broke me a little bit. And I just adore Arushalae so fucking much. Her learning to dream???? So fucking pure and adorable, I love it.
(If I had a nickle for every time I'd fallen in love with a fictional chaotic purple tiefling with curled horns who convinced a group of people that he was someone important, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.)
And Ember... my dear Ember. Where I'm at pretty soon we'll be going to talk to Nocticula, and you'd better believe I'm taking her with me. Do I know this will probably have interesting consequences? Yes. Am I going to let her say whatever she wants anyways? Also yes. I think Reda (my ranger PC) is both vaguely amused by and also inspired by Ember. Like, Reda doesn't seen how someone who's gone through so much horror can be so kind, even to the people who hurt her. But at the same time, she finds it endearing, and Ember helps her see the good in the world, and helps keep her from losing hope during the Crusade and all that.
