I don't think any of the writers involved with these mods would know subtlety if it hit them with a brick.

how hard do you have to I'm gay at Sandrah before she does get the hint? Or is it impossible to be gay around her?

ugh using your writing to justify sexual assault via your mouthpiece character who must be always right ugh

not gonna lie, I read the first text box and then just skipped out on the rest of the update because I couldn't take any more.

the point of everything in this mod is either to:

a) make Sandrah look better
b) make everyone else look worse

That's it.

I am pretty sure arcane necromancy just also comes from the weave?

I remember reading back in the day that there is a Shadow Weave made by Shar but that is some other thing entirely and isn't just necromancy spells.

also who the gently caress do u think they mean will rise to the weave guys c'mon

yeah but necromancy is icky and for bad people, therefore it can't possibly be part of the main character's power set, so they needed to words about why!

I must have missed something, because I have no idea what you're talking about.

We've got Sandra(h) and the antagonist of what I assume is her own personal offshoot of the current side content is Linda.

I took a glimpse into the teeming horrors of Roxanne's forums and she seems to have a thing against Isra (and Sirene):

I don't think anyone's gonna mistake Sandrah as representative of BG mod quality; don't worry beamdog guy.

Actually I'm kinda interested in picking up BG at some point because of this and trying a few mods, Finch in particular. I liked what we saw of her a lot.

I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety issues these past few days so I haven't been playing as much as I usually do. I'm going to take some time to relax and deal with my issues so updates might be a bit slower from here on out.

who the gently caress is scraeming "ABANDON LP" at my house. show yourself, coward. i will never abandon lp

Maybe a bit silly complaint but using the word "beast" for Sandrah is a bit problematic IMO.

Like if it was a male Mary Stu then you wouldn't call him a "beast" for boning everyone either.

not to be contrary but I would

edit: that actually wasn't very helpful, and I apologize. I see what you're saying, I'm just not 100% sure I agree with it. It's ultimately up to vichan whether they want to change the wording though.

I wish this mod had been written in humor..

"Hey what's going on I'm suddenly into women and polyamory?!"
" -when have you started feeling this way? "
"Right as your ladyfriend looked at me."
" -AGAIN?! Sandrah dear we talked about this, no changing people's orientation without consent! Do I need to call your parents again? "

Dynaheir :(

There's such an immense gulf between Jaheira's reaction to death and the scene with Jaheira and Sandrah afterwards where the latter's all 'no I needed to show Jaheira this for her own good' and Jaheira just accepts it.

making notes as I go:

- mystra sue is responsible for boo and our wolf too, ugh
- roxanne isn't confident enough in her writing non-sandrah voices to just let them talk, she has to weigh them down with odd turns of speech and verbal tics so you know who's talking
- stay away from aerie fuuuuck off sandrah, stop playing pity olympics
- dace is cool, I'd read dace and vichan's buddy comedy
- what happened to jen'ling anyway? I miss her :(
- gently caress off sandrah, go back to loredumping, chloe
- I like when chloe is conversing with anyone but sandrah. I do not like chloe when she is commenting on how hot the ladies are or conversing with sandrah.
- fuuuuck offffff roxanne gently caress offfffffffffffffffffffffffff
- I don't quite like how BG2 weaves WACKY BULLSHIT and TRAUMA
- gently caress off sandrah, stop talking to jaheira

I'd say that since this is the Sandrah showcase, if you can't show something Sandrah-related, don't inflict it on yourself (ie don't make yourself sit through Sandrah macking on a child)

Who are y'all talking about? The only non-believing priest that comes to mind for me is Fall-From-Grace from Planescape: Torment, and she is pretty much the exact opposite of Sandrah, in spite of being a literal succubus.

And I cannot believe how boring this whole side story is, and I say this as a genuine fan of both terrible writing and stories centering on monstrous humanoids. Why does the magic destiny queen have to be a hot human babe? Why do none of the characters involved have any personality beyond thinking Sandrah is amazing? Why does everyone default to calling the god Arvoreen when he has a well-known orc aspect with which they'd obviously be more familiar?

(they're talking about a character from the fate/stay night series I believe, not dnd - Sesshouin Kiara)

I'm mostly sticking around for Irenicus's chats with you, though Caelar's might prove interesting too; it's good to see that both mods keep their characters' personalities intact.
