It's apparently finally going to be a show too...

 

 

But it's AMC.. so maybe it'll be good.

I have no faith in AMC after what they did with The Walking Dead. Pretty much every one of AMC's hit shows before TWD was a partner ship between them and another studio, such as Showtime or HBO. Because of this AMC never had complete control of any of their top shows. TWD is the first hit show they have had that was completely ran by the network. After season 2 of TWD, amc fired most of the original writing staff and gutted the budget. Hence the reasons the show is no where near as good as it was in season 1 and 2.

That's actually a comic I haven't read. Do you mean the show isn't keeping up with that? Or just not standing well on it's own merits?

 

I've been enjoying it... but I suppose there's been lulls. I still like the Governor (the actor especially)... which is mostly what I remember recently.

The show does fallow the comic for the most part. The issue is the writing style and in general it does not seems nearly as flushed out as it was. The biggest grievance I have is the fact that it's become far to drawn out and artificially lengthened. The whole Governor story arch shouldn't have taken that long to resolve. It became painful to watch. Nothing happens for 45 min of the show, something happens in the last 15 min, cliff hanger ending and repeat next episode.

Okay. I'm at home. I can now do that update thing you recommended, Uncle. What was it again? "Yer all loonies"?

I've only seen the artwork. The governor looked more obviously like a villain. In the show, he's harder to read.. easier to like at times. Even after the mess he made, I still kind of saw the good side.

apparently seth rogan is involved in the new Preacher series. as a creator/writer. not actor. And they're consulting with Ennis.

I can't wait until The Whisperers appear on the show. That's going to be grim!

Oh, that won't effect the romance if you skip it then? I just have a bad habit of needing to exhaust every bit of character dialogue I can in games.


Thanks to sardaukar

My latest elf if I get back into the game is going to skip right past that conversation, going to wait until I'm ready to finish the game before doing the Mythal quest. I made the bad decision on my part to drink from the well with an elf. Made the thought of lying about elven gods with voices in your head rather frustrating. Went back as fast as I could and let Morrigan drink but the damage was done. Don't want to ever have that conversation again.

AMC's going to keep me around given that Better Call Saul has been a really decent follow-up, so far, to Breaking Bad.

I may or may not have turned a lil scarlet at that small print, but just for safe measure...

Yep. I let Morrigan drink when I did the romance with Sera as an elf. Made that ending so much better than it is if you drink.

Why does that conversation become worse?

You couldn't pay me to drink anyways.

 

Whoever drinks becomes a mad villain. 

 

Or maybe that's too predictable....

I'll drink from it as an elf. In that case, the knowledge is rightfully mine.

Makes it even more difficult to play an elf that either doesn't believe or is having doubts when you have elves talking in your head.

But if you're romancing Sera you cannot justify giving a dishonest answer to her when she gives you the question. If you want to drink from the pool as an elf then don't romance her. That's just my two cents and the point is certainly debatable. I really don't want to though, lol.
