"ok i'm going to distract myself with this farming game, so i don't get to think about DA or anything like th-- why is there a breach in the sky leading to another world after a villain just stole an artefact."

#It's a 2023's game's dlc so like.#....... twirls hair is there a Solas here i can talk with or #ichablogging games

i'm playing the Disney game again and i'm doing quests for Lumière, and brother asked me for help to arrange a Charcuterie board, and i'm like, oh neat, i love Charcuterie! and then they give me the ingredients list and just

frérot you forgot the charcuterie on your charcuterie board

#un fucking believable #this is so funny to me. they're spreading misinformation about what charcuterie is #frérot. frérot tu peux pas dire ce genre de choses frérot.#ichablogging games

playing various games by former DA devs who left during the da4 development era has this fun streak of seeing exactly what was taken in the divorce and what angle you can imagine some devs wanted to explore more than others

I'm playing Eternal Strands, which has for lead developper Mike Laidlaw, and i keep thinking "this is what Arlathan should have been" it drives me insane.

long story short of the plot is that it was a world of magic with at its center the Enclave that was the most advanced magically speaking and usually kept to itself with its secrets, until one day Something (?) happened and it forced a Veil around the Enclave, and in its shock, a massive Surge of magic happened on the rest of the world that overloaded magical equipments and people and basically destroyed everything.

50 years later, Magic is frowned upon because the catastrophe is still fresh, and no one has managed to enter the Enclave nor has heard of the people living in it since the Surge.

You're part of a group of explorers who all practice magic and therefore are all a bit outcasts from their respective backgrounds, and while trying to explore around the Veil, by some miracle, you and your party were the first ones to Enter the Enclave in half a century!

Now it's up to you to investigate what happened to the City. Its massive guardians awakening after half a century of slumbers and losing their mind. Having to navigate it with "loomgates" which are like Eluvians. Just. muah.

The artstyle is gorgeous, the story is more linear/isn't a "your choice matters" type of stories, but the fightings are really so cool. It's really just fighting giant creatures over with so many different tactics and it's genuinely so fun. It's what I expected of da4 when they made Tevinter Nights all about meeting weirder and weirder monsters.

and I just reached one of the city of the Enclave and my god

i don't know, i do think it's neat. and it heals a bit of the damages from *waves hand*

Like it feels like an actual city which was lived in, yet also bigger and more beautiful than anything i've seen before. And it's not even supposed to be a big city of the Enclave. How fun!!!

#ichatalks #ichatalks about da #kinda but also not really #i do rec the game bc it's really fun to play though #i also played stray gods which was more on what was taken in the divorce was messy but compelling characters #morally grey and people doing bad things and difficult choices #and compelling romances (Persephone i'd kill for u)#and also an approach on grief especially that FUCKED ME UP #especially on the grief of an immortal. Aphrodite's story fucked me up so much.#(they also have a Veil there but it is specifically about wrapped memories from times of history and i have Thoughts about that)#once i'm done//when i'll have money for it i'll have to try Avowed #from what i'm seeing it'll be more 'choices matters' and good exploration and characters fun so im curious #but! yeah man. man.#but yeah for now Eternity Strands is really fun. Love the exploration.#ichasalty #for the dunking on da4 out of nowhere #ichablogging games

usually clicking on Daeran just have him say he's bored or something very vain, but i just clicked on him for heals and he went "missed me already? :)" and i'm aboout to have a stroke

i can't believe joking about feeding each others to bugs genuinely advanced our relationship like that

it's funny though how playing Eternal Strands (a game by an ex DA dev) just also completely overwrote what i think about Arlathan in my head.

Like i don't see this forest from VG that has completely illogical corridors that leads to statues and where no room feel like they actually had a purpose or something

everytime i think of Arlathan in my mind i think of this:

Generaly stuff:

Loomgates (they're like Eluvians but with threads instead of mirror)

The Military center:

The Lower City

Higher City:

(read the codex on this one, understand me screaming)

Like this is Arlathan. To me.

#When i dreamt about that diplomacy dinner last night and all? it was set in Eternal Strands' city #it drove me nuts waking up like what do you mean i totally overwrote Arlathan in my mind #anyway in case didn't see me yap about ES when i played it:#it's set in a magic world where the capital city of magic one day was locked entirely behind a veil #and on the following of the incident a surge of magic made every magical device explode in the rest of the continant #so now we're 50 years later and people are not trusting magic anymore #but therefore people who can do magic (weavers) tend to join exploration groups to discover what happened during the Incident #and by some miracle our group ended up behind the Veil and now is investigating the lost city #trying to find survivors and trying to understand why everything in it (the wild life - the machines) went awire #all while in the deeps there is a growing force made of pure darkness #and i'm not saying more but there's even more similitudes #anyway i had a blast playing this game and i should get back to it to play the free dlc that dropped since i last played it #(gave up bc the last optional boss makes me suffer so much and i quit playing out of spite bc i suck at killing it)#but yeah it. it really just went in my head 'this is what Arlathan would have looked like in its prime'#and now i really am only thinking about it like this.#ichatalks about da #ichablogging games

im playing Clair Obscure in English despite being French because i thought i'd be distracted by the swearing but instead they swear in French when they don't have the words being strong enough in English and it's making me cry

you're right Gustave, this is a Putain de Merde of situation. "fucking shit" wouldn't have been even as close. you're right. time to swear in french. Putain de merde de sa mère à la con. We can do it.

#i'm expecting all the frenchiest insults now #ichablogging games

an enemy decided to eat papers with sensitive information on them to cover his tracks and then started to suffocate on it begging for help with his eyes, and all of my companions started to discuss "oh no i wanted to read that :(" and "you should have at least put some salt on your paper if you were to eat it" and discuss the prefered condiments to eat paper with while the guy was suffocating to death

and i'm sorry after the absolute riot of experiencing that i'm now going into hysterics when playing that right after some very Morally Good uwu games like Veilguard.

We Say the Veilguard companions wouldn't survive like, Morrigan or Sera, but now i just want to put them in the same room as THOSE companions i think they'd give them a heartattack.

#even the kindest and goodest of the bunch was just like 'oh worm. anyway.'#rare game where i thought just killing the guy would stop me from the headache while saving him was an option #ichablogging games

vague ES spoilers but there was, in fact, like i suspected, a betrayal happening at some point

and now we're dealing with the aftermath and whether we should trust the person who betrayed us again after we got them back into our group, while people are still a bit fuming about them

and Dahm was asking me my thoughts on this and there were multiple options from being mad to blaming the person and stuff, and also one that i picked that's just "i mean i feel so bad for them, they carried this burden alone without feeling like they could trust us or anyone for that matter, it must have been such a strain on them and i ache to think i couldn't be here for them."

And Dahm. Bless his heart. Looking at my Brynn going "you're very sweet and kind to worry about their feelings first but you do realize you've been deceived right. you do realize you went on and risked your life multiple times, some of which were close call, because you were being deceived right."

and it's only when Dahm said this that it hit me that damn i really jumped on being an apologist for the gang's liar and betrayer because "but they had their reasons guys isn't it so sad they suffered so much they thought they had no choice but to deceive us :(", i'm a parody of myself

"but you could have died" yeah and i could have died from tripping on my toes this morning, i don't see how that's a special crime--

#anyway said liar once i accepted them back without any bad feelings #just constantly highlighting how i worried for them #was choking up calling this place the only group they could ever call a home #and i started crying too #nothing like a liar who thought they had to be reserved around people and lying themselves into a point of no return #still getting a comforting hand back to bring them back somewhere where they can be safe #my jam.#anyone who knows like more than 4 of my favorite characters: yeah that tracks #ichablogging games #(despite using they/them i'm not talking about Laen though i'm using they/them for suspense)#(all i'll say is it's neither Laen nor Dahm. But that's all i'll say.)

I'm playing Eternal Strands, which has for lead developper Mike Laidlaw, and i keep thinking "this is what Arlathan should have been" it drives me insane.
