I've been writing a kind of stream of consciousness travelogue on my thread as I play a mod for...

*70's gagshow theme plays*While I'm on the island, I walk about 6 steps and wander into a cave. I accidentally interrupt three 'glimmerdust smugglers' in the midst of one telling the other that his girlfriend would sooner fuck- what? Fuck what? I'll never know, because they spotted me and stopped their scintillating conversation.
Nevermind. We fight, I steal their stuff, which seems to be mostly made of mushroom; this is not surprising, the Sun Coast seems to have at least 10 varieties of the things and they pop up everywhere. I may have just solved a drug problem I wasn't aware the Sun Coast had.
I tried to alchemize myself some of this product on the grounds that smuggling sounds kind of cool, but have no idea what I'm doing. I fail at making a bunch of compounds and wind up with nothing. I eat a mushroom to console myself and watch the weird colors for a minute.
It's really impressive, how determinedly assholish they are. Like, you know the writers of the mod had to spend a lot of time coming up with inventive ways to insult me.You know what the best games are? The ones where you have a chance to betray the Insufferable Order of Smugness.
There's a reason I always end up going Dark Side in KOTOR 1 and 2.

But they're both pretty bois with super iffy luck in women.Kin, it's okay!
This guy uses magic and sword, not gun and sword.
I suppose "butchered with a knife or axe" just looks different than "attacked by what appears to be an angry were-triceratops".Of note, my character can apparently differentiate chickens murdered by human hands from anything else: these were killed by the cultists themselves, she says. I didn't realize she was such a connoisseur of chicken-murder.
I like it when monsters live up to their names. This one seems to deserve the royal appelation.This is a bug of the more traditional kind. One of the huts contains a 'Desert Queen Spider', and I, her loyal subject, can only bow in supplication.
That's not a good sign for how the rest of the cultists have turned out. These are the ones that got away early and probably the least changed. EDIT: Or they all could be dead instead of undead. That's a surprise.
Maybe they rode to the island? Presumably, the fact they don't need them anymore is why they're eating them instead of keeping them.There's a fancy feast inside, primarily roast horse. Why did they even have those things? The island takes about a minute to cross on foot.
The way that statue was posed, I was really expecting him to speak to you, like Mehrunes Dagon or another Prince, yes.What if you could try to enlist his aid or blessing to deal with the Cleansing, like the local version of one of Skyrim's Daedric Princes?.
I actually went on the Enderal reddit just to see what the heck was up with the Desert Spider Queen. As near as anyone can figure, the SureAI guys just put her there to be assholes? Just to fuck with completionists that want that seventh and last 'letter of Kor.'I like it when monsters live up to their names. This one seems to deserve the royal appelation.
The other cultists are all dead, and human. There is literally no way their husbands could be smacking these draugr-ladies around, so that seventh letter of Kor guarded by Queen Spider probably had something on it like, 'We caught up with the sisters as they tried to get away, and then when we punished them to deth they turned into fucking monsters and we ran away and locked ourselves in the lodge. All hail Kor.'That's not a good sign for how the rest of the cultists have turned out. These are the ones that got away early and probably the least changed. EDIT: Or they all could be dead instead of undead. That's a surprise.
I feel like my character is getting better at this lying thing. Last time I had the opportunity to lie to spare somebody some pain, the best she could do was replace 'got exploded by a vengeful ghost' with 'eaten by wolves.'It's nice the game gave you the option to lie to the poor kid's mother. It's a mercy, really and moreover more dialogue options are (usually) better.
Eh, if they were real assholes, she wouldn't be stuck in the tiny house. And/or the quest item in there wouldn't be an optional one.I actually went on the Enderal reddit just to see what the heck was up with the Desert Spider Queen.

Well, sometimes the little details like that are enough. I remember, recently in Dragon Age Inquisition, I had to deal with this noble that set a trap for Sera, my 'eccentric' elf companion. And I had the option to spare him after murderizing all his men, make him a partner, press gang him, or let Sera kill him. And here's the thing: I like Sera okay but she's kind of a crazy asshole with a huge grudge against nobles, so this guy might have had a legitimate grievance. Sure, he talked like a smarmy git, which didn't do him any favors, but the deciding factor was this: He lured us to a meeting by having one of his servants pass Sera a message. When the servant yelled "She's here" to signal the right person had been drawn into the trap, the first thing the noble's men did was shoot the servant. Not their target, not her heavily armed and armored support, his own servant who had just faithfully helped him in his plan. And the guy was not put out about this at all. Not even a "Now I have to hire someone new". He might even have ordered it that way.The moral choice itself was a little weak, too; I don't know this guy or the corrupt landlord, I couldn't point out his farm if you gave me a map and three tries. The closest thing to a stake I have here is that I recognize that robbing the Food Bank is probably a huge dick move, since Undercity is such a shithole to begin with, and I only know that because a sidequest took me down there.
