Well, from all the dev bs I'm reading I'm just glad they haven't touched Atugia and Azzy. Either give them a good update or don't touch them. Just... Don't.
Least if they even touch both you'll still have Cait, Vivienne (TBD), and Kiyoko (Brienne, if you wanna count
that). Male enjoyers get to enjoy... oh just Quintilius now? (Unless you wanna count Brienne, so I have to count Brint).
Two things that I was thinking about. One, if they intend to leave it as
just Quint and Brint (at least it rhymes...) they should get a big expansion for each of them (Make Quint more fucking gay friendly, and just
gd friendly.) Give Brint an equivalent amount of content as Brienne, as they claim "equality" but her number of busts alone seem to outright refute that...
The second being, and this has been stewing for a while,
Why the fuck does a fan-turned-writer get to completely change Etheryn to suddenly always wanting to be a boy because it fits her OC? Like it's not even as if it's hidden, she constantly posts commissioned artwork of the two of them (some would say cute,
I would say really creepy). I know I'm sorta biting my own ass here, but cmon tell me how that makes sense? I don't hate Alypia for doing it, as no doubt if I were given a chance I'd probably end up rewriting someone as well. I hate
the creative oversight that this game
sorely lacks in all departments that allowed her to do so in the first place.
Put it to you this way, it's like Boromir
doesn't try to take the Ring from Frodo because Tolkien passed LotR off to a different writer who happened to really like Boromir. This writer decides "Oh, I know his whole
arc is about the burdens of saving humanity thrust upon him by his father and Boromir's own great love for Gondor and how his hubris is his fall but he's so cool he wouldn't try to take the ring!" Then, Twin Towers (Fellowship for the movie version) rolls around and Boromir dies (it's Sean Bean in the movie, it's no spoiler he dies) protecting Merry and Pippin. It stops being a symbol of who Boromir truly was (protector, empathetic, hero)
despite his flaws (hubris, vainglorious, corruptable) not only ostracizing him at the very end but also guaranteeing his death. It
instead becomes A Hero-Type portrayed by Sean Bean who dies doing a heroic thing because
That's what heroes do (TM). This Hero-Type doesn't get to sway Aragorn in his final moments, the words he imparted upon him long before all of this ringing back to Aragorn. Aragorn who finally feels the same love for Gondor that Boromir had always felt. Who once brushed Gondor and Man aside, Aragorn now claims them as "
Our people." Boromir gets to die happy, knowing that someone is ready to take up the journey he thought was his alone. You don't get his death's door loss of hubris, readily admitting that Aragorn is capable of doing what he could not and protect Frodo so he may deliver the Ring.
It's taking a core part of a character (Etheryn's gender identity and Boromir's hubris) and tearing it out, supplanting it with something else. Then having the
gall to be shocked that people are upset about such a decision and rewriting to fit the new character. It's shit writing.
Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. Covid really got me

Love ya and hate ya for it. It just really came off as female in all parts, even past the dream scenes. Not to mention you can make her look like a milf, she's already extremely feminine, etc
