I finished the last part of the galloper quest yesterday and boy, oh boy, do I have opinions

first the positive:

I liked the mechanic of the quest. reliving his memory as him, seeing our horse flee from us because it's getting mad from the runestones being broken. and jon jarl disappearing before we can reach him. showing gunnars wish to reach him and to make him happy, but Jon always keeping his distance

Now the things that were..."unfortunate":

the whole time they force the narrative, that Gunnar war just as much to blame as everyone else in this scenario.Blaming a man, that was blinded by his loyalty and brainwashed by his leader, a soldier, that was thaught to follow orders.

"well he didn't have to follow the orders" Bitch! we all know jon jarl was a fucking lunatic, hungry for power and control, I am pretty damn sure that he had no problem with killing those who did not follow orders! meanwhile the fact, that it was jon who gave these orders to undermine the keepers of aideen, is ignored because he converted to the "right faith" in the end (i don't need to explain why that is problematic in it self)

Every time we want to criticize one of the druids, we have to blame gunnar aswell. the other options flat out ignore the horrible things the jarl and the druids did and Just force Gunnar to forgive. this whole quest is full of entitled druids who see no wrong in their own doing, and Linda who believes her damn history books of "jon jarl is the best" (cause we all know "history is written by the winners of a fight")

we have victim blaming, forgiving all wrong because of converting to the "right faith" , forcing a victim to forgive their abuser and forcing them to forget all the horrible things done to them in order to "move on"

What the actual fuck went wrong SSE?

no really, who thought, that that is a good message to give to little girls?!

This was genuinely the most dogshit story execution to ever come out of this game. They done butchered my boy, I am distraught.

I am laughing but the light inside me is dying.

I need to sit in silence and fume for a while.

No but actually though. I’m ill. I’m ill with The Implications. Everyone else hates and bullies you but this one person makes you feel important and appreciated. You are forced to commit awful acts because you trust them, you want to keep being on their good side, even if it feels wrong and bad. As a result you gain a negative effect you did not ask for nor want that deems you impure, gross, and monstrous. And instead of the people who put you in that position being punished, you’re told it’s all your fault and you’re the one who’s punished. If only you hadn’t. Maybe if you were smarter. You shouldn’t have made that decision if you didn’t want to end up in this position.

Gods SSE this is not a good lesson!!! Fuck your fence sitting morally gray area!!!!!

i've taken an extended leave from tumblr because of several things but i just have to say that the only reason i'm going to make my resurgence is because the new addition to the Galloper Thompson storyline was genuinely so atrociously dogshit that i screamed mid-mission about how horrific they did their own character.

they didn't even give him a new model, he had one new animation, and the new quest in all probably only took 15 minutes- max, including my screaming (which was often). i have left with more questions than i came into this literal asswipe of a story quest with, and i truly believe that i could write a better fucking character arc and resolution if i were to mysteriously come down with the scarlet fever and tuberculosis both, while blind in my left eye and missing the function of both ears.

like.. (almost) five years of waiting.. for this? for THIS? don't even get me started on the visual production value. you couldn't even dedicate a fucking model revamp to someone in your MAIN story? you used the SAME DAMN MODEL for Broderick AND Gunnar? Morrigan didn't stand up for him at all and we never actually get to hear Gunnar's perspective on his story being told- which is WILD, because isn't the whole goddamn point of this story to hear what *actually* happened to him? and we never ACTUALLY get to hear anything from Gunnar's side- not a letter, not a note, just about ~10 sentences of *EXTREMELY* cringy dialogue that I, out loud, said "he would not fucking say that" for?

this story quest literally turned me into a tumblr trope bingo card. what the actual hell is this slop. i've never been a fan of the "complain about everything sso does" crowd, but this? their fucking *story quests*? yeah, i'm gonna be loud and proud about being fucking horrendously pissed that *THIS* is what we get.

it sucks so bad that 'lightning magic' in every media is just some pathetic little strands of electricity. i wanna see some LIGHTNING. show me a magic setting where lightning magic lights up a room like the sun, and the bolt is only visible as an afterimage burned into your vision. I wanna see someone cast lightning and have the thunder rattling the room and shaking everyone to their core. i want lightning magic to be a split second blast of so much power it leaves everyone's senses reeling. c'mon guys don't you know what real lightning looks like? we can be doing so much better than this.

Since you guys liked Marcille as Kermit that much, it seems fitting to thank you for my 12k milestone with MORE Kercille. And this time, Miss Falin is also here.

Thank you so much again everybody! MWAH 💗

[edeave]

Falin's resurrection just stuck with me, it was such an impactful scene in the story, I just had to draw my version of it. I hope you like it!
