#Torment tides of numenera callistege Pc#

Don't look at me like that, this isn't even the most offensive PC backstory. It turned out he was a shepherd boy possessed by nanomachine demons who demand stunts. : Erritis is a glaive who used to ride the short bus before we took him along for his heavy weapon skills. She is seeking immortality, which the game frames as bad when it remembers the sins of the Changing God and then it's good when anyone else does it. Accompanied by versions of herself from a parallel universe. : Callistege is a woman who confronted us after we fell. Really! The Changing God pranked him, bro! Also he used to be in a relationship with Callistege before we used Tides powers to make them break up. It turned out the picture frame actually turned them all into his magic snake tattoos that he used to kill people. The Changing God killed his family with a magic picture frame that unleashed shadows everywhere. : Aligern is a man who confronted us after we fell. You will see him a lot, I hope you like bad metaphors and execrable prose! Text not preceded by this guy is my commentary. When you see him this is text in the game. : This is the game's narrator, which I have chosen to personify. Has a mysterious curse where NPCs vomit exposition all over her like she's the toilet at a cheap bar. Currently recovering from falling out of a space station. : Our (female) protagonist, a clever jack. He was voted out of existence after the first update, but showed up for a tedious endgame puzzle. If people want I can do dialogue summaries again too! We can also make fun of the combat system, but it's not so much actively bad (a la Ash of Gods) rather than just excruciatingly boring.

Get those pretentious literary hats out again, goons! So I can't speak to the game and setting, but oh boy do we have some wacky kickstarter stuff to talk about. Certainly I've never heard of anyone playing the tabletop game, especially as when you leave Monte Cook alone without editors, you get evil nipple rings.ДЄre you sure you're qualified to do this? I don't think it really went anywhere and as far as I remember it got swept away in the Dungeons and Dragons Edition Wars. That's.all I know about the setting really. It is a vaguely sci-fi setting set in 'the Ninth World' where the ancient remnants of technology are everywhere but poorly understood so they seem like magic. Numenera is a tabletop game setting made by Monte Cook after he left Wizards around the era when 4th edition D&D was coming out. That said, I'll do my best to keep an open mind and hopefully we can get some interesting discussions going. Oh, and Patrick Rothfuss is credited as a story director, so you know this is not going to be good. Unfortunately, when I first played this game, the writing came off as a stoned high school student who just read Plato ranting about 'the cave, mannnnnn' while also crossing it with his time travel Gene Wolfe fanfiction. Sorry.Д®dit: About 4 updates in I went and beat the game.ДЄs far as I can tell the 'spiritual successor' business means that things need to be vaguely like the original, where both games feature a nameless protagonist who is unkillable searching for answers. I've had a request up since April for someone knowledgeable to LP this thing, and since no one has taken me up on this you're stuck with me. I got to part 2 and bounced off hard because of the abysmal combat and writing that is desperately trying to be strange for the sake of strange. I have never played Planescape in my life (though I have read the LP on the archives) and thus we will be judging this game by the harshest metric possible: its own merits.ДЇull disclaimer: I have not actually beaten this game either. I picked this game up the day after it came out because I'd heard a lot about Planescape Torment and have a weird love-hate relationship with these kinds of isometric RPGs. So you've played a lot of Planescape: Torment and are going to be comparing the two?

Naturally, the game being a cult classic spawned a 'spiritual successor' in 2017, a game which seeks to answer the question 'What does one life matter'? It was generally well-regarded because it was thought to have deep writing and attempted to explore a central question: What can change the nature of a man? Set in the Planescape campaign setting of Dungeons and Dragons - known for either innovative takes on fantasy or disappearing up its own genre ass depending on who you ask - it centered more around philosophical exploration and themes rather than a straightforward power fantasy. In the 1990s, an RPG by the name of Planescape: Torment came out.
