"These games just let you become the head of every guild and faction in the game without consequences, it's SO unrealistic!"



Look, if you want to play out your BORING CLEFT-CHIN HUMAN WARRIOR GIGA-CHAD power fantasy in Skyrim and become the head of every guild and faction on the same character, that's your business...but if you were role-playing a specific character of a specific build with a specific personality, would they realistically put in that much effort?

Probably not! 

Why would they? That's a lot of work to put into entities that have NOTHING TO DO with your gameplay style or your character's interests.

Imagination and reason are key here.

Something I miss from early-to-mid Elder Scrolls games is that they had faction politics. In TES3: Morrowind, if you joined the Mage's Guild, the Dunmer Temple and House Telvanni HATED your guts! There were consequences to your faction choices.

Can we bring back actual consequences, Bethesda? PLEASE? OTHER than Survival Mode? 🙄

The world of Mäthalun is in a completely fictional formerly-human setting in which humans got to a certain technological peak, and then destroyed themselves and their systems in the process.

A lot of that knowledge and tech was buried in a cataclysmic event, and the early Emer did not have access to that knowledge and tech to begin with, so we're looking at a very, very long time where the Emer had to fend for themselves from ground zero, picking through the wreckage of the humans before them.

The Emer are the descendants of the now-extinct humans that inhabited Mäthalun further back than existing written language. Only remnants of human infrastructure remain on the surface, overgrown, rusted out and built over to accommodate over a thousand years of building from Emer society. Read more... )

My content has kind of been all over the place, but I assume that's how a journal should be.

Since I just started writing regularly this month, it's been a lot of me dumping in entries that I feel should be here, and then curating under tags and filters as needed. That is the epitome of my creative process in most of the things I do: starting with a mess and organizing it into art.

I've been neglecting my physical journal a lot lately, but it is so much more energy-efficient to type right now than to grip a pen for a couple hours, or fussy-cut and paste for decoration. Thinking about doing that in this moment just makes my whole body and brain slump.

This doesn't upset me anymore, however, because I have solutions:

I blew the dust off my tablet, and I've been using that with a Bluetooth keyboard to do a lot of my recent writing.

I finally got all my thoughts together for Chapter 1 of It Ends With Us. It's one whole job to annotate a book, and a whole other job to turn it into comprehensive commentary.Read more... )

I recently made a Ship list for the journal (access list only for now, I don't want drama), and realized that I forgot to mention some of the fandoms I enjoy based on that list, so the Fandom list has been updated to reflect the fandoms associated with the ships. 🛳️❤️
