It’s been 84 years… I’m late to the party because I used the first 5 playthroughs to get all of that juicy Dandy angst. So good.
After 90% of screenshots didn’t show up on the last post I made on Diaspora’s thread, I no longer trust the image button, so I copy pasted the bits I found.
CH 1
And then, of course, there’s Gunther, who was most keen to join you on this new adventure.
- “I decided we should probably call an end to the relationship. It wasn’t really working.”
Maybe it’s just me, but that option sounds oddly romantic when talking about the half-orc.
First mention of Oriana:
Luca Imperion’s taciturn, elven bodyguard who currently stands at the ship’s bow, silently bracing herself against the wind.
And then:
Oriana, Luca Imperion’s elven bodyguard,
Redundant info given on the next page.
CH 2
Daisy’s smile grows huge and placing her hands on your hips she says, “Well that is definitely something I want to hear about but before that, I don’t suppose our bodyguard is here yet, is he?”
Should be she, since the elf was Oriana, not Orion.
CH 3
This option when talking to Mayor Grow for the first time:
“What can you tell me about Sebastian?”
I hadn’t met him, so MC shouldn’t know him yet.
Oriana takes the opportunity to step so that his back is to the Mayor.
Wrong pronoun, should be her.
“We tried looking up ‘terrifying ghosts that steal faces’ in there but the page is missing.”
You pick up the book to find that the halfling was telling the truth. The page has been torn out. Someone took it.
I don’t need to pick up the book, I already knew this info. Didn’t buy it, just looked up what I needed back in the bookshop.
CH 4
“Unless ye think yer shaved-head friend did it.”
Is Oriana’s hair shaved, tho?
“It’s one of the sailors. Winter says he’s been acting strangely and I’d like to question her myself.”
Sailor changes gender mid-sentence.
CH 5
Grabbing his you kiss her. It’s a terrifying situation…
I peeked at the code, it says ${ally_his}
instead of ${orion_his}
. I have no idea why it doesn’t show the *if you wrote for the brownies, tho. Weird. Grabbing his what??
A sudden breath escapes his mouth and you…
${ally_his}
instead of ${orion_his}
.
trying not to notice how god his taught muscles feel beneath your fingers.
Good.
CH 6
she pauses and then gives you a raised eyebrow.
Wrong gender, also not capitalized. The code reads ${ally_he}
instead of $!{orion_he}
.
You reach out and pull the trembling Sebastian to his feet and he stammers his gratitude. You feel the familiar swell of calm desire that accompanied your previous interaction with him and shake your head to clear it.
First time we talked. I followed him to the bookshop but never spoke to him.
CH 7
Eventually her breathing slows and, Her eyes closed, her head leaning back, she whispers…
Capitalized her after a comma.
You can see something in his sharp blue eyes, a shimmer as if the ice were in danger of melting melting.
2 melting, twice on code text too.
CH 8
“Gold,” Oriana replies. “They’re vulnerable to gold.”
You don’t have such a weapon and Dandy is quick to point out that neither does he.
But I do, I have the arrow head and the knife.
(Oh yeah, if a playthrough with both Dandy and Oriana doesn’t make sense it’s because I made a custom MC, hope you don’t mind, it was for science)
“There’s something engraved on the base of this tea set,” Gunther observes, picking up the teapot with great care. “To P & J, with love C & S. Carlotta and Sebastian, do you think?”
It seems likely. You’ve met no-one else so far who would have those initials. The two families were certainly friends.
I spoke to Jewel before chapter 8, so I already knew this.
If you chose adding Winter to your romance with Daisy, the cap betrays you and Daisy dumps you, right? Well, since “none” is your ally, the text reads none instead of Daisy.
Tallien’s healing has done you wonders, though the young elf looks about ready to pass out. none is lying a few feet away, unconscious but stable and breathing. This is probably the safest place for her right now.
Rambling
-
The way the elf acts towards the different MCs is great. Both my rogue and the shaman were atracted to them, but O was a lot nicer to the shaman (the one that was caring and sort of naive).
-
Winter is awesome, I couldn’t trust them at all, but they’re such a fun character.
-
I’m not kidding about Dandy, I had to replay his romance like 5 times to get all the parts I needed for my canon playthrough, with his “I want to try new things/but you have to try them with me!/I never said open relationship/I don’t do love/love me!” I felt like I was dating myself Let me tell you, I. Love. Romancing. Him. Every single piece of frustrating drama that half elf threw at me was the best. Chapter 7 breaks me.
-
So many character interactions
You are either insane or not human.
-
Are you planing to write a third part? Because of how this one ends, I mean.
I think that’s everything. If I find anything new, I’ll edit the post and I’ll tag you, Thom.
EDIT: @ThomB
CH 3:
At least for a moment, you forgot that you’re hands are still shaking.
CH 5:
Dispel the magic affecting him. (Mana:20)
You’re attack broke ${orion_him} from the spell and ${orion_he} looks too relieved to complain about your methods, instead saying,
Your. Repeats a couple of times on code text.
CH 7:
“Wait till you hear the epic tale of my daring. That might change you mind.”
The captain awaits the experience with a mischievous glint in those black eyes that so closely match your own.
