Seriously, how hard would it be to actually give TLC nightmare cutscenes or something? In my playthrough I didn't do these two quests or the Flashback Hell Machine and the Sorrow felt.further off. The Specter wants to remind us that the Sorrow is still really dangerous and we should live in fear of it, because the writers still aren't able to effectively convey it or come up with a scenario where you have to actually run from The Sorrow. TheGreatEvilKing summary posted: : Member when you were the Changing God, and some racists thought you were a castoff and banned you from the bar because of the war you started, and then you revealed you were the Changing God and made them all worship you and kill the last unbeliever? Man, you sure felt like an asshole huh? This is not a question the game is seriously interested in engaging in. There are limits on his power, sure, but Zeus didn't make his own thunderbolts. He's immortal, unaging, has great power over others that he can use to command people, and can fuck around with time. The man literally created an afterlife which we are stuffing random people into. Of course, this raises the question of whether the Changing God is actually a god and what makes a god. We, as enlightened Numenera players, realize that this has no spiritual significance. This is, of course, massive hubris of the kind that gets you struck down by divine lightning. This is interesting because it's the first time we've seen the Changing God actually proclaim himself divine. This is, of course, the Endless Battle which is a completely pointless and uninteresting waste of time. This is probably the most interesting flashback of the three. TheGreatEvilKing summary posted: : Member when you were walking in the desert, and some dudes gave you water, so even though they were stupid you blew up a robot that had stopped time to help them out? Even though you nearly died? Member? So yea, rather than Phat Stat Boosts we get more Changing God backstory. but you feel a certain affection for him. But now that he's achieved this.do you dare to let him return to the world? He knows your deepest secret now, and holds your future in his hands. This is, after all, part of why you constructed his body the way you did. In certain aspects, you have to admit, he even surpasses you. We do, however, get glorious lore dumped all over us which gives us XP. Despite what you think, we don't get stat boosts for this. The game dumps another wall of text on us after all the Sorrow fragments are dead. Once everyone's stat pools are exhausted the combat becomes a boring fucking slog of waiting for the women to hit with their powerful attacks, much like playing D&D 4th edition. Sadly, Rhin can't actually do much here because her speed is low and these guys have enough resistance to shrug off Stingcharge shots. The Last Castoff is doing a fair bit of damage with the Impossible Blade now. Funny thing, any healing spell can revive her, so Rhin does that next turn. Straight-up fighting these things isn't so much hard as it is a tedious slog of watching numbers slowly go down. My guess is a beta tester tried armor stacking at one point. These assholes do relativistic damage, but also physical so you can resist it with armor. I made the mistake of thinking "Flush the system" meant "send the sperm into the great condom in the sky". This machine actually generates another Evil Sperm Monster. There are a lot of words spilled about how each encounter was supposed to let you interact with terrain effects to do interesting things and yadda yadda yadda shut up.įor a Tides Dog Oom kinda sucks at combat. Remember how the Peerless quest could be cheesed by hiding and zerging to the machines instead of fighting legions of boring-ass slow robots armed with energy weapons? The devs thought that gameplay was "too pleasant" or something and made it so the machines do finicky bullshit like maybe pull aggro. I make the initial mistake of interacting with these machines instead of fighting. We press the "party members" button because it's more time I can actually interact with the battle system instead of watching people slowly march around the battlefield. The game isn't content to trust in the skill of its artists (again) and dumps a battery of uninspired dull description on us. However, we're stuck in the Labyrinth with some Sorrow fragments to fight first.Īnyway, we went into the MC Esher staircase to battle the black demon seed and came out only to discover there was more black demon seed.Īnyway, we go through generic mindscape portal #26. Welcome back! As you may have guessed from the preview, we are going to go back to this point point. : Dammit, Callistege, I told you to lay off the bean burritos!
