Dragon Quill

Battle time! Keeping with the theme of the difficulty ramping up after chapter 3, this fight is actually hard. I barely won on both my first playthrough and this one. (more…)

Last time, I would have been very pleased with the quest if it wasn’t for how callously it treated women.

Let’s keep moving. (more…)

Last time, sexism. This time, racism. (more…)

We’ve come to an important plot point in the game, and I want to discuss it before going further.

In this upcoming quest, it is revealed that female shra do exist – they’re just locked up in an isolated area and forced not only to breed continuously, but also to give up their children afterward. They cannot leave, ever. If they break any of these rules, they are killed. It sounds like something out of Wither, and it’s quickly swept under the rug and forgotten about after being brought up once. This is because there is no logical reason for shra society to be structured this way, and it provides no contribution to the plot. Yet the developer still decided that it was an idea worth including. (more…)

Another sidequest today. I think this is one of the better ones, though. (more…)

New area, new flavor text. (more…)

Last time, Yacatec’s a slaver but Qualstio won’t do anything about it because the only thing this game loves more than Qualstio is characters refusing to do things. (more…)

Next quest, cruising right along. (more…)

I’m done with sidequests for now, so it’s back to Berylbrine to advance the plot. Time for more flavor text! (more…)

Last time, our heroes turned away a desperate man who begged for their help, because his request might have inconvenienced them. Noble.

I ended last update at the outpost, but before I explore there I’m going to deal with some sidequests. (more…)
