Thoughts on bits of lore, story and characters
|
- Timeline of Wraeclast: Atziri of the Vaal, then Eternal Emperors until Chitus was overthrown by Voll and the Karui, five years later, Gemling Queen somehow doesn't stop the Cataclysm. Then nothing much.
- Ranger might be a lesbian. Quip after beating Merveil "It was your love for a man that did this to you, Merveil." Quip after beating Alira "I hate to pluck a pretty flower, even a poisonous one such as you." - Cannibals on coast are remnants of the Karui. - Still no clue who Dominus is. High Templar Voll become Emperor of Wraeclast, and Dominus is a High Templar of something or other. I guess it's like a global Church and High Templars like to be Emperor no matter where they are. You'd think Oriath would call it's ruler something else. - Koam is still alive, in some form or another. He descended into a dungeon and then Hyrri grabbed his people and ran off. You know the rules: Unless you've seen a body, shit is still on. Even money he will be an act boss at some point. - Malachai, same deal. - Hargan extorted sex from Clarissa. At least the line "You can be sure he gets his pound of flesh" and the VA delivery of it sounded that way to me. - I definitely think Dominus and Piety need more development as characters. Piety you're basically killing just because she's mean, and Dominus because he's there. We know nothing of their motivations. The most we know is that Piety likes making monsters and has a rather cavalier attitude towards germs. Maybe our characters have more reason to kill those bosses (like Templar wants his truth or whatever) but the players don't have much reason to care one way or another about them. - Nessa is a jerk. Feel free to add your own. |

" I think the deal is that Dominus discovered something and decided to focus all his attention on Wraeclast to unlock & control it, also he found Piety interesting enough to share his motivations with her and giving her a high status within the blackguards. " I got the feeling that she's some kind of avatar/key to unlock some lovecraftian horror. 2 reasons for that, first of all most of her comments hint that she has some link with Wraeclast's past; second, Dominus telling us that the world is an illusion before popping into some kind of giant insect, makes me think the Scion is somehow linked with that other "dimension". It makes me thinks a lot of the movie "In the Mouth of Madness" (can be seen on youtube), well, at least that's where my reasoning comes from. Последняя редакция: Yoomazir#7573.

Well I have no idea what happened in your guild talks, but having a bit, I repeat, a bit, of lovecraftian vibe in POE doesn't hurt the game's lore.

Brutus invited Shavronne, a necromancer(?), to his prison. She changed brutus to what he is now.

the comparison is not entirely out of place Yoomazir, mostly for the second reason you give and what counts as a predecessor to those creative elements. I personally find the effect the Vaal Oversoul has on the 'world' and what that is taken to portend (an axiomatic shift, again, of sorts) to be a reasonably sufficient association. However, I have my own reservations about the lore as a whole at this stage, which is kind of disparate, if not in overall cohesion then in tone and form. Actually I should watch one of the latest videos that hints at discussing some of these points before commenting any further.
