[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

If you're going to do Genocide Route, a warning first: If you fully complete it, it makes a change to the game so that you can't get a consequence free True Pacifist ending, which I consider to be one of the major flaws with the game since it takes its moralizaiton waaaay too far. Luckily, there are ways to fix the game to undo that change (there's an easy solution on Youtube) , so you can do a Genocide Route without fear of lasting repercutions! Well, of the most glaring one, at least.

Oh, I'm well aware of that already.  And yeah, I agree, it overdoes the moralization just a little bit.  Game's still pretty brilliant for the most part, but that definitely is something to be aware and cautious of.

I actually received both DST and Undertale as gifts from friends.  DST cuz one of my friends had a spare copy to share due to brilliant design in the sale (free gifts are great for multiplayer games), Undertale cuz a friend recommended it enough that he just outright bought it for me (which is why I have a Steam account in the first place).  I was warned very early on that genocide changes the rest of the game, and that I should do the other routes first.

Most of the Undertale community's more toxic tendencies stemmed from that ending existing in the form it did from my understanding. Lots of fans trying to get new players to play 'the proper way' or something like that, rather than letting them play it blind, and viewer/commentor arguments over that being common. That's only a small part of it, but the small part I was exposed to when watching someone else play for the first time...yeah, it wasn't nice to read.

Hmm, in that case how about Hypolitha, queen of Amazons. She is not a godness but instead a strong amazon who appear in the stories of Hercules. 

Hmm lets see another no divine name...how about Lucky? You could say your future girl its something to give you good lucky, since its a super duper rare dragon who can be Storms. 

Maybe also...Hope? Hope for a better future. Hope in the form of lighting, striking in the hearts of Reiner foes. And hope for a change in the future of Blackthorn. Sounds like a simple but also fitting name.

Hmmm....Hope...it's so simple, maybe a tad cheesy...but it has a nice ring to it.  It actually fits really well...

Ya know, I think Hope will be her nickname.  Great idea, Spirit!

So be it. Let the Double or Nothing Roll.....commence!!!:

The Results....

(1)

....Oh, well would you look at that. You won! Bloody brilliant!! Lucy's child......they will truly be Legendary now!!!

Give me some time to write up the stat block, and I'll get to posting the Egg hatching whenever you wish it! 

~~~

My goal was a quick, hard, but fun and eventful campaign as a counterpart to Iron's slower and more grounded/limited one, and while it has had its issues and has stretch beyond my time estimates (to put it generously), I'd like to think I did a decent enough job with it. From what I can tell, you mates liked it for the most part more than not, so maybe that's success enough?

Oh no, I perfectly well knew Reiner had a lot on his plate now and in the future, and that last comment was meant to be somewhat inoffensively cheeky. Meaning fell flat in execution though, so my bad!

~~~

I admit that Kyubi's affections were meant to be intentional to a extent (As it was either she had a strong emotional attachment to you so that she wouldn't be a problem, or not and her being a problem due to being unstable/hating Reiner's guts, but due to events her affections became more.....pronounced than originally intended), but every other 'love' interest was more or less unintentional or somehow happened, appropo of nothing. Reiner suddenly becoming a lady's man was just as unexpected to me as to you, but hey, like you said, it isn't a problem.

On the bright side, if it wasn't Giratina being in love with Reiner, Clair wouldn't be getting revived, much less have a proper afterlife after her SOUL/mind got first spiked by M.R. , then blended by Mew's OUTRAGE , so that's a 'relationship' worth appreciating to a degree. Having the Goddess of the Underworld on your side is pretty much good period, so long as you're willing/able to handle....well, being friends/in a relationship with her.

*exhales*

Phew...and with what would typically be considered an unlucky roll on a D20, too...lol...

-------------

Personally, I'll be saving most of my thoughts on that for when we've truly finished the CCV campaign.  It's generally been enjoyable, though, I will say that much.


----------------

Yeah, being on good terms with the god of death/the afterlife is generally a good thing...well, for you, anyways.  For anyone else...debatable, depending on what kind of character said god is...could do worse than CCV Giratina, that's for sure...

Though it's kinda hard for me to call Giratina's interest in Reiner unintentional when I don't even know how it really happened in the first place, tbh...(besides the quick and easy IC explanation)

Thanks. I have my moments. Hope will indeed grow into a powerful lighting dragon. I look forward to see her full potential.

Welp, home from work for the day and ready for some quality roleplay!

...oh, right, I probably need to account for Arial when making any immediate/future plans, too...hmmmm...

Great timing, for I just got your post finished!

That all depends on how that meeting will go, so I wouldn't start planning until that's over and done with.

I need a break from posting for awhile mates, so I'm taking one for the next few hours. Expect the campaign to resume in about three hours or so, but it might be longer due to my dad coming to visit tonight.

No problemo mate. In the meantime, I guess I gonna a little Warframe. Lets see if my computer can handle the game.

I've got my next post typed up and saved as a draft.  Planning to transition into you-know-what with it if that's fine (as I assume Lucy is going to be totally okay with indicating 'yes' to Reiner's question)

There's also more Kingdra goodness/personality, which I very much enjoyed typing up

All fine by me! Only things left for Reiner to do with Taylor besides the Egg hatching is the Battle (Which I have the stats made for, so hurray!) and more bonding of your choice, so do what you like!

Still not ready to post, though, so give me another hour or so, okay?
