Excerpt of a discord convo w/@pagesofkenna as they play Ghost Trick for the first time. For no particular reason.

(jumping in on asking you all the BG3 qs lol) Can I ask you what the not-Dark Urge player character origin is like? Dark Urge sounds really cool, but I haven't been playing the beta and I can't seem to find any information on the player character other than 'you can play as one of these premade characters or make a custom'. Does the custom character have a 'theme' or drive the way Dark Urge does?

omg it's okay i love getting asks about bg3, it's like all i can think about rn!! 😂

ALL of the characters, whether they're a normal origin character, the dark urge (also an origin character but a little different from the rest), or the custom character, have a lot of the same dialogue options to choose between -- basic roleplay choices in any scene. it's just that different characters will also get unique choices!

the game uses a tagging system to decide what dialogue options you, as the player, get. sometimes this might be a class or race tag -- like, a drow will get unique drow dialogue, and a bard will get unique bard lines -- but it can also be more in depth, like a good-aligned cleric will get certain dialogue, or a cleric of a specific god will get content related to them, etc. the tags can come from your background (sage, sailor, urchin, etc.), or perhaps even previous choices you've made in the game. origin characters all get their own tags for dialogue that's unique to them and their backstory or knowledge.

the main difference between a custom character and an origin character is less about theme, to me, and more about how much a character's backstory is part of the plot. for a custom pc, backstory is more up to player headcanon. you still get lots of content that reflects your choices and customization, and you might get some dialogue options that talk about your past -- but by virtue of letting you make your own character, your backstory is more open-ended. who you choose to play, and how you choose to play them, is entirely up to you. with origin characters, they have specific backstories that come up in the story.

if anything, i'd say all of the characters (origin or custom) are reflective of the themes of the game. trust and temptation will be a big part for any character, whether you designed them yourself or are picking up one that's been made for you.

fiunjmkefdsfeom I did download the unofficial homestuck project (which is gorgeous honestly,,,,) and i’m doing the “let’s read: homestuck” VA edition with my roommates and they’re enjoying it but it’s not ENOUGH homestuck content for ME!! 

literally watching you go through my tag and seeing your icon change was delightful

tbqh i kept looking at your dave icon and it made me want one so badly so this is like at least 99.9% your fault

Away in a Manger, Oh Holy Night, and if you could make Little Drummer Boy be an actual question what question would it be

Away in a Manger: Favorite Christmas movie?

The Muppet Christmas Carol of COURSE

O Holy Night: What do you do on Christmas Eve?

Make stuffed French toast to pop in the oven on Christmas morning, read Luke 2, sing Silent Night. Sometimes my mom will read The Night Before Christmas in German.

Little Drummer Boy: uhhhh What's something you got someone for Christmas this year?

I got my older brother a mortar and pestle!
