Editing a chapter and came across this http://www.gamasutra...Inquisition.php

 

It's a good talk so far.

 

Very enjoyable, thanks for sharing

Cee and I have been discussing this

Spoiler

I pointed out that by this point Max is just unwilling to risk fixing the mistakes she made with time travel with more time travel. That could lead to Chloe dead and the tornado arriving.

'This action will have consequences' after all. I'll take the consequences.

Spoiler

I think that was the one annoying thing about the save Arcadia Bay ending. It posited itself as the ending where Max accepted time-travel had screwed everything up to an unacceptable state, and that was resolved by... more time travel?

I mean, given that Max's memory disappears after she's travelled back through a photo, wouldn't she eventually figure out that she has powers anyway and still use them slightly ignorant of the consequences? Wouldn't there still be a tornado/hurricane?

It doesn't seem like it would resolve that much in the end.

Ok, you've convinced me, I'm going to make save Chloe my canon.

Are there chickens in Thedas?

Yes ..? Well, maybe ask Shale. There may not be anymore...

[MayriyaNoori]

Are there chickens in Thedas?

I bet there are. I don't know anything that confirms it......but I mean....it's chickens.

 

Thedas has horses....rams.....dogs.....goats......if someone called you out for adding a chicken to something I'd just be like *shrugz* whatev.

There are rabbits and squirrels too. At least according to Felassan and TME there are.

Yes. This.

Spoiler

Wasn't the storm caused by excessive time traveling anyway, because it screwed up the fabric of reality? So fixing everything by traveling back again makes absolutely no sense. It would've made more sense when

Max: *goes back in time*

*the universe explodes*

 

Edit: I realize that I actually like this scenario. The take-home message for me would be that if you've almost destroyed reality by trying to fix it, god damn it, stop trying to fix it.

Shale stomped one in her DLC.

Since the trigger for Max using her powers was Chloe's death then having "real" Max reside in past-Max's mind during that time would probably made it so past-Max doesn't discover her powers (unless some other tragedy would've happened between Chloe's death and her funeral in front of Max's eyes).

[Tess]

Haha, sorry for that question but I was thinking how chicken soup is good for colds and stuff and it occured to me I never saw one in the game. Chicken broth sounds better than nug feet broth.

[Shari'El]

Yes. This.

Max cancels the first time she uses her powers to change the past and prevents past-Max from discovering her time-travel powers, so in that timeline none of the things she changed happen, she basically restores the world to how it would've been if Max wouldn't have had powers or wouldn't have discovered them at that time.

It's not the use of the powers, the fact she used them to change things is what caused the fabric of reality to dissolve.

Chickens in Thedas confirmed.

What about vegetable soup?

Nugs have little fingers on all four feet. I wouldn't want that in my soup.

Spoiler

But wouldn't the final trip dissolve reality even further, because she, again, uses time travel to change things?

[Shari'El]

Spoiler

Spoiler

My logic says no, she reverts everything to the original timeline before the first change and prevents the Max in that timeline from learning of her powers. She pretty much undoes her first change. It's true she still hops in time but the Max that existed as a result of that will be regular Max (before she discovered time travel) so all changes she did just wouldn't have existed - time and events would then play the way there were supposed to.

 

What causes everything to fall apart is the fact Max used her powers to prevent the death of Chloe even though she was fated to it, it tried to catch to her (she nearly died several times after and Max saved her in these times as well). If original Max would've seen the scene and thought originally of doing something (like jumping in when she saw the gun or whatever) then Chloe's death wouldn't have happened, but original Max saw Chloe get shot and without her rewind powers she would've died. In order to save Arcadia Max had to let it happen like what would've happened to powerless Max.

Just like saving William came to bite her later in the ass, that accident was meant to happen, so it just did - to Chloe, instead of William. Chloe ended up paralyzed and suffering, which is arguably worse than death.

That's what Life is Strange was about what changing predetermined events could cause (especially meaningful events like the death of someone), that's what the writers wanted to tell. It's about chaos theory.

 

I think it was written really well, and felt like the other ending (of saving Chloe) was hollow on purpose, since the game was screaming at you to let the past go - "let me go" and "I want to die" graffiti everywhere, what happened when you tried to save William, etc.

I personally have no issue with the writing, although part of me wish they would've chosen to tell another story since the message is a bit sad. The game that would've come out of that, however, wouldn't have been Life is Strange, it could be a lovely game nonetheless but a big part of the game's beauty lies in its' sad moments (in my eyes of course).

 

I recommend watching this:

Are there chickens in Thedas?

Scout Harding will tell you at Skyhold she saw Cole going somewhere with a armfull of chickens.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

So, this morning I'm sitting here writing up this scene that came to my brain yesterday. I started off not really knowing if I should have this as an actual chapter to my Zevellan good times or not, but I starting typing anyway.

 

Next thing I know, I'm really liking the scene I'm writing cause it's all kinds of feels in it and now I'm sitting here at a point where I'm like "ugggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh I want them to kiss"

 

But I'm all messed up about it cause one side of me says "No, not yet, it wouldn't be just a kiss and you know it. It's Zevran"

 

And the other side is poking me saying "just do it"

 

And I'm in the middle thinking "Crap, this entire scene thing may not even work within what I'm working on, but I kinda dig what I wrote so far, so I really don't want to toss it out the window"

 

*slams head on desk*

Cole confirms chickens in Thedas.

Didn't talk to Harding for some time. Might do it. Busy with Fenris. Tried to talk Arishok in casual and mutually beneficial ... thing, but that dude's too hooked up with being miserable. Shame.

Take a risk and enjoy yourself. It's a fic If you really feel the urge to write it, don't worry about anything until you're done writing it. You can always revisit later.

I'm tempted to take you up on your offer and send you two versions of this........thing that has spawned this morning........to read and tell me what you think.

 

Only if you have time though, it's not that important.

 

I'm going to jump off the cliff first and then write a second more......less kissy version I guess.....

I think I finally have a reason to watch Torchwood again.
 

haha that was my exact reaction when I found out. You'd never guess, right?

 

I started watching Torchwood the slow week after Christmas. Well, I should say that I started again, because I had watched the first episode but just...never continued after that. It was episode 4, and Ianto, that hooked me. I stopped after Children of Earth because multiple people said not to bother beyond that. I watched the entire thing up through the end of Children of Earth in, I think, 12 days. Since it was a very slow week and cold out, I was sometimes watching three a day.  And I was still playing my first DAI run, because I had been away when it came out, then really busy, then I thought I'd be away for Christmas but my mom wound up in the hospital temporarily, and so I was away again after that. I finished Torchwood in January. I finished DAI in January.

 

GDL was responsible for two forms of emotional torture that month.

I really didn't like that the ending - in a Pricefield game - came down to 'tragic lovers torn apart but fate' or 'be selfish and save the girl'.  They're standard romance tropes but f/f relationship in fiction already have a long history of ending tragically so a damn happy ending would not have gone amiss.

 

Yes, this so much.
