I have a strange question.
Does anyone here like baroque decor, and why? 
I am currently writing some of the apartment decoration choices, and my current description is quite snarky because am personally not a big fan of baroque decorā¦ 
So, if anyone is a fan, please tell me what makes it pleasing to you!

Iām honestly not a big fan of baroque either but I do have an appreciation for it just because Iām a fan of history so whenever I see it I just immediately think of that time period which usually spins into me thinking of other time periods and thatās just funā¦ I feel like this comment isnāt too helpful heh sorry like I said Iām not a huge fan either.

Kinda cackling right now, because while i do like baroque furniture and whatnot, I feel like it needs quite large spaces to not become overwhelming. So imagining a small-ish London flat stuffed wall-to-wall with gilt is somehow hilarious to me. Home sweetā¦ bordello?
Same goes for rococo, mind.

Warning! Past saves will not work anymore!
I just made a small update (This is not a story update!)
Itās mostly errors fixes and misspellingsāthough Iām sure there are more that Iāve missed.
There is also an added mini-scene with the drinking cope if the player chooses to give the witness a flask of spiritsāthen you can choose to use your own or Lestradeās.
Iāve also added a line about the witnessās blanket.
Small changes in the prologue.
The scientist former case background choice now has a bit more text as it was a bit unbalanced.
The character creator is changed quite a bit! At least in structure and ease of use.
@Xarena Oh yeah, I know what you mean! Usually in modern uses of that style (movie sets and such) I feel they change it a bit to be more palatable to todays senses. But when I look at pictures of time correct baroque I have a hard time appreciating it 
@Hannya Haha yes! You see my problem here. Perhaps I should just keep the snarkā¦

My opinion of baroque is that Iām so not dusting a thousand tiny pieces of crap. 
(God, Iām turning into my mother 
). But then, I pretty much assume Watson is the one to keep house anyways XD.

Well, baroque decor is very present in my country, on its many historical buildings, specially churches and old farms. Maybe I like it so much because I grew up seeing it, so itās kinda hard to explain. The contrast it has, maybe? Thereās as many round shapes (such as couches and chair legs) as there is square and lines (the decor in the walls and mirrors).
As I said, we have many churches in this style here, so althought Iām not religious, maybe I have associated it with some otherwordly peace and silence. Iām having a quite interesting reflection here, haha. And well, itās classy, fancy, stylish, all I want to do is wear a top hat and drink tea (and I donāt even like tea) while I behavior my best, preparing to receive my visitors to discuss a nice Charles Dickens novel.

I love it, makes me feel like Iām in the sitting room of some highfalutin aristocrat from a Jane Austen novel. But most of her highfalutin aristocrats were written as unbearable snobs, so I wouldnāt feel comfortable in such a room, necessarily.

Although Watson probably would be good at the job, Sherlock, Watson, and Mrs Hudson share a maid and a footman 
Youāll meet them soon 
@Nael Ohh interesting! I might borrow some of your thoughtsā¦

Hmm I guess another benefit of barroque I hadnāt thought of until now is that itās in a weird way kind of comforting even though itās fancy, and I feel like this is true of any style thatās old you know in that tried and true way plus whenever I have seen pictures of this style I usually do think āsure I donāt want my house to look like this but I could sooooo nap in there just give me a good sunbeam.ā

I recently asked a friend what they think of baroque and they didnāt like that style either but they said something I hadnāt thought of. When that style was popular what was going on? Spying, poisoning and hidden compartments and the idea of a room looking so fancy and safe maybe even comfortable but it being full of hidden compartments with who knows what in them is a lot of fun.

@Cingulum_diaboli Ohhh, haha, Thatās quite close to what I was imagining too! 
Though there will be a more āfunctionalā decoration setting for a crazy scientist SherlockāI imagine those chairs are quite expensive and it would be a shame if they blew up in an explosionā¦
His penetrating gaze is beyond any mere mortal to withstand 
@Xarena That makes senseāit gives me nap vibes tooā¦ Sort of like a cosy museum
Thatās an interesting thought, Iāll have to think more on that!
