I've never cared for blatantly overpowered DMPC's, and the forced railroading just adds on another layer
Replying to Kampfgruppe Kofewalt #zingly I've never cared for blatantly overpowered DMPC's, and the forced railroading just adds on another layer
I like overpowered DMPC's when they don't appear often. But Bopen appeared in like 7 of the 10 campaigns in Season 3 and it tipped the scale so heavily to the Ageless side each time
Virgo appearing in New Crew was cool because it was an introduction to what we thought was the strongest character in UR at the time
Seeing the Birth of Magic in Deadlantis was cool
And then Bopen came in and undid all the work that made the campaign interesting
The senate of Deadlantis was great with the purge, but the best part is the ageless kids who count by dropping stones
Yeah they started to overload them at the end
didn't Yes King have like 5 of them?
Unnecessary inflation of the Order of Chaos, which at that point only had 10 members on it, they doubled and almost tripled that shit
It's another Bopen circlejerk
Killed Kallark in the beginning with no second thought
The only thing I like about Bopen is we called him being the sword day 1 which made Rob talking Roamin into attacking the skull cringe and annoying
I think it was Roamin
lol
Replying to Monslay #monslay Damn
yeah it was a big disservice to the character by killing them 20 mins into the campaign and not even giving them a satisfying end
Deadbones said he had "no care for him [Kallark]" which just made it hurt more because he definitely did
Replying to Rouxls Kaard #audioboss. The senate of Deadlantis was great with the purge, but the best part is the ageless kids who count by dropping stones
That was the peak of the entire series for me
Deadlantis was the only good S3 campaign
I remember the first three, then I stopped watching after campaign 4
yeah
I'm personally fine with the idea of "When the cast are controlling characters they can do shit that is far beyond their capability" because it matches with how NPC PCs vs PCs had been treated up to that point
but the exact way it was done and it's descent into bopen circlejerk was annoying af
The real problem with the ageless was it's forced link to Bopen's plotline
If Deadlantis hadn't gone down the way it did, and we still had the muliple factions of ageless with differing opinions? Would've been great
War was possibly the worst DD ever chosen
bopen would still be being Bopen even if Unity was chosen
he wouldn't stop being a murderous scumfuck pirate
One of the worst aspects of the ageless plotline was the confusion on the downside, which to this day was never clarified
of "Oh well when you die, your soul goes to the afterlife, unless you were ageless"
which was never explained what the fuck the afterlife actually was if it did exist, nor why ageless didn't go to it
and even that took like 1.5 seasons to get to
INSANE
I voted Gwyenth for that, and also because I thought it would be more interesting to build onto new lore we hadn't seen anything before(Which did lead to the focus on the elf lore which I liked) vs retreading DvZ a lot
and yeah, it really was a shocker that we barely saw Lance after
I know I'm in the minority in the chat for really enjoying the Lyn Azveltara stuff
(except Last Beenu but that's because that entire campaign was one of the worst cases of on screen Rob railroading)
the hindsight on the Grand Paladin is awful tbh
because it goes from this cool anicent tradition of dozens of strong willed men and women who've died to
two guys
like wut
I fucking hated the AZ campaign
No, just bruce and virgo
I still contend it was the worst pre Rob killing urealms live thing Rob ever put out
because the first grand paladin was Bruce+Birgo
