I honestly feel like railroading is the only thing that i making Katia do this. How the hell does she not think this will not fail? I mean, even if slaughterfish can't just jump out of the water (can they?), They could probably just yank her in by her hatchet. Fortunately, even the most unlucky characters are usually immune from deaths this abrupt and stupid. And besides, she can't die because she has to learn a basic heal spell, go to the Greater Imperial City Area, and then get arrested and thrown that cell which is conveniently her own personal Room 101. edit: Being bitten by the vampire chick might actually be smarter than this slaughterfish-axing plan, to be honest. Catching porphyric hemophilia is not guaranteed, and even if she did catch it she could A. miraculously get enough spare cash to buy a cure potion, or B. become a vampire and get some insider job offers from her new Vampire Coven friends. Edit again: Kazerad, if you read this before you check your MSPAF inbox, I sent you a thing saying I'm pretty sure "absail" is actually spelled abseil. Also I sent a reply briefly apologizing for contributing minorly to the plague of stupid, spergy commands several months and what must be many suggestion threads ago.

I was going to just post this on the update page, but it wasn't going through so I decided to post my question here, only for the comment to go through. So I guess I might as well quote my querie here in case I can get some insight on a joke that went over my head?I posted:I played, Oblivion but for whatever reason, I never got around to doing the Order of the Virtuous Blood quests.

Someone remind me, when an Oblivion vampire is at the baseline "just drank" stage, do their eyes actually become normal color again? The way I remember it, while you lack any traits horrible enough that townspeople would refuse to talk to you (like being emaciated and gaunt to the point that your facial structure resembles a chimp's), you still keep the red eyes, along with the slight paleness and fangs. Also, I have a stupid question I just need to get a definitive answer on: Was Dmitri black/a Redguard?

Why is Nah pissed? Katia thanked her for saving her life and patching her up and stuff. Was she expecting Katia to offer her That's just greedy, she already got to lap up her wounds. If she took any more, Katia would either A. die, making the first-aid pointless, or B. get infected, making more competition for her in the future.

jng2058 posted:It's because Nah believes in traditional medicine instead of potions and healing spells. So for Katia to not even acknowledge that the bandages are a good idea is an insult to Nah's medical sensibilities. Ah. Also, I believe it may also have to do with Katia saying this: Katia posted:“For… wrapping me up in spongey tape, for some reason?” which just rubs it in Nah's face that nobody even knows that bandages and gauze are anymore.

Kaz, did you ever read the old Boxdog threads by Weaver (and I guess the comic? I never read the webcomic that comes up whenever you google Boxdog and honestly don't know whether Weaver did that too)? Like Prequel, it featured a down-on-her-luck female protagonist with few skills, none of which are particularly profitable. However, it's significantly more depressing. This might be part of the reason why I've never really felt like Katia has ever really had it that bad. Related to that, I recall you being asked this at some point but I forgot the answer, have you read anything by Weaver? Like, Ruby Quest or something?

Also, I've actually seen the real Ethnic Diversity Mural featured in Problem Sleuth, "The Potluck." Like, I was in Boston for a few days last year, and made it a point to pinpoint its location on google maps and find it. Totally worth it.

Traven was also the guy at the Anvil Guild who gave Katia the robes and amulet of silence. Apparently he was just stopping in to visit one of the guild's chapters that day. Oh, and I think his portrayal as a spaz draws from the fairly common character interpretation that he's an idiot and a horrible leader.

Mr.Pibbleton posted:Yeah he got replaced by an Orc who only knew only two spells and things were SO much better after that. You probably wouldn't make things too much worse, since the PC is a decidedly hands-off Archmage, like he/she is with all the organizations he/she is in charge of. You'd probably be very popular with the faculty, since you don't butt into their teaching (not that they EVER have time to talk to you, even when you're their loving boss), and only ever stop by the university to sleep in your room, or occasionally pick up a dew-eyed freshman to follow you around and die in a cave somewhere.

Sorry to only answer this 6 days later, but I'm pretty sure you're thinking about Weaver's Boxdog story. \I asked about it only a few pages back in this thread, and Kaz confirmed that he read it. pandaK posted:Also Ruby Quest wasn't hosed up in the sense that the main character continuously gets hosed over by circumstance. Also you should read it it's really good. I think I recall Weaver saying a while ago that Ruby Quest was made possible by Problem Sleuth+her crippling depression.

woodenchicken posted:Oh, hey, a Prequeladventure thread!  Oh look another one! Actually, I'm kind of confused. From what you're saying, I can't tell whether you are aware that Kazerad actively posts in this thread, and if you to check through the previous pages, you'll see that on many occasions Kaz has addressed and discussed the themes of misogyny and tragedy-driven narrative and all that stuff. And I'm assuming you never played Oblivion, since you don't get what the King stuff is all about? (Well, actually we don't necessarily entirely know what it's all about, but we know what it's referring to and can guess the implications. But I won't spoil that here. )

Zenzirouj posted:Well, this probably explains why Gro-Upp is so touchy about Sigrid. Maybe we'll end up with some kind of improbable team-up situation for a Sigrid beatdown (and/or murder, since this is Gro-Upp we're talking about)? Unfortunately the murder thing is impossible, what with Sigrid's plot armor. But I would personally be fine with Gro-Upp getting his appear on again. Welp, she's naked again. Maybe she can score some new clothes from a generous soul. Like maybe some robes. Red ones. From that guy camping outside the gate.

jng2058 posted:Agreed, she's never getting another level. Indeed, my guess is that we're getting near to the end of the prequel part of Prequel here. It's my guess that Katia loses her amulet, blows up super-flammable Kvatch, and that's what gets her thrown in jail to start the game. My guess is that the story will end just as she is confronted by Uriel Septim and they have that moment of mutual recognition.

Apparently on Wednesday it will be posted here: http://www.webcastbeacon.com/category/webcomic-beacon/ edit: MikeJF posted:That can't be right. She has to deliver the package to Quill-Weave. Maybe she can just do that when she's a CHIM-realizing BAMF player character who has to deal with Quill-Weave's dispute with her neighbor about her pets.

Where is everyone in the church? Maybe she'll give in and be about to drink, when she's suddenly interrupted by Martin waking up and threatening to call the cops, at which point Katia flees in pure terror.

VictorGrunn posted:I don't know Oblivion enough, I guess. I was kind of hoping Katia was accidentally about to burn down Steve's church (he's a priest, right?), with him taking that as retribution for whatever role he played in Sig screwing her over. OriginalPseudonym posted:I don't know, Kvatch is pretty trashed in Oblivion as I recall. Yeah but in Oblivion the Cathedral is pretty much the only building not burned to the ground and razed. When you show up, most of the survivors who couldn't make it out of the city are holed up in there, including Martin. So the cathedral has just as much plot armor as Hirtel and Sigrid.

radintorov posted:If it was magical fire fueled by her, it might have simply gone out when she passed out? She could wake up Martin standing directly over her, angrily wanting to know why she broke in and started setting fires. She could even have a nightmare with he King, and right when the King is right up in her face, and wake up screaming only to have Martin be right there staring her in the face too. Also, maybe he put out the fire?

FronzelNeekburm posted:Whoops. Well, on the bright side, this means that she actually managed to receive a blessing from one of the Divines! Why did they they ignore her back in Anvil then? Unless her latent CHIM limits the Divines to just giving the player stat-boosts, and can't deal with general "please help me get my life back on track" prayers since that would interfere with their destinies or something. If this is the case, then Katia should really consider shooting a quick prayer to Zenithar and Mara, whose blessings fortify willpower and luck, respectively.

I'm not clear about why she broke the action figures after seeing that pointed shadow. What was that a shadow of/represent to make her pissed off? Was that shadow from her claws, reminding her that she isn't a human or elf, and is just a dumb animal? OR, was it from her hand, but it made her think of the King's crown?

Wait, so Nah works for the Thieves' Guild? I didn't get that the vampire was Nah simply because I thought it was just a joke about the "you get a Thieves' Guild recruitment letter signed by a guy who lives in the Imperial City, no matter where you are" thing. But yeah, since we're in the church, we might as well try praying again just in case the gods changed their mind, since praying cures diseases and you have 3 days till porphyric hemophilia becomes incurable with conventional means. But yes, asking the Thieves Guild for handouts sounds like a good idea. Also, Kazerad, Weaver said that you drew a picture of Boxdog or something at some point? Could you link that? Edit: Is there ever any TES game that lives up to the backstory of the region being featured in the game? I mean, I guess Skyrim got it a lot better than Oblivion, where they literally invoked arbitrary divine space-time-continuum-fuckery just to make the region a more generic European temperate grassland with Medieval/Roman cultural influences.

IronSaber posted:Welp, we broke the quest log already. If we're going to get issued any clothing, it's going to be an official arena skimpy exotic dancer outfit, not armor. Edit: Also, dammit, We didn't manage to talk to Martin! Or at least, we didn't get to have Martin say something to us, and then we bolt out the door because he has a sinister aura about him for some reason Katia can't quite place, yet strangely, he also seems almost familiar somehow.... But seriously, I'm curious about how he'd adress Katia. Like, would he be pissed at her for trashing the place and yell at her? Or just restrain himself and firmly ask us to leave like Weedum-Ja? Or maybe even be saintlike and genuinely offer us help? Liquid Dinosaur fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Oct 8, 2012 |

Do you just lurk /co/ after an update, or do you have some kind of bot that detects when a Prequel thread happens somehow?

Great choice of music Kaz, that song is like, building confidence distilled into audio format. It's actually making me Feel Things and might even motivate me to do all this really important work I've let pile up to a angerous degree.  And yeah, the timeline archive is really great, since before reading this update I was trying to go back in my head to remember how many days have passed in-story, and due to not reading in so long it got fuzzy and I couldn't. Five days, wow. Here's to several more days of adventure ultimately culminating in getting thrown into the Imperial City jail!
