Just sitting here thinking about SoC and had an idea of another Alexia X Drider encounter I thought I would share.
Right?! We need more drider encounters! There's already a starting counterpart for Rowan in the game -- the powerful female drider, Black Ness, with Rowan that was never further expanded upon. It's such a missed opportunity!I´m not going to lie: you got me at "drider", but now I've read it, I'm thrilled by it all! This absolutely needs to happen!
I've been kicking around ideas with Nessy and Rowan for years. Not only can you have scenes where the two can become closer to one another (which doesn't always mean sexual encounters), but it could also result in real tangible in-game benefits. For instance, as their relationship, trust, and comfort level grows, Nessy could personally accompany Rowan on his missions. Driders are already used in-game by your growing empire after all. So in Nessy's case, for example, she could support Rowan in various situations. Nessy could watch Rowan's back during an ambush, or be hidden and on overwatch as Rowan approaches an unknown group, or be an intimidating force during negotiations, or even become Rowan's favored "mount" -- 3D mobility, strength, speed, unique powers such as poison or webbing, and so on. Just think of that combination of a fearsome drider with a cunning rider (like our paragon) as they execute their plans in situations like claiming Reeve Keep, for instance! And it's not hard to imagine that Rowan could turn this experience into developing retinues of "orc knights" with their drider mounts with the help of some brave and loyal soldiers, Draith, and others.
Welp, I should re-explore this game since I barely played last year (only a little bit from v0.2.41 and v0.2.46). Man, I'm way behind, heh. Anyway, on the nonsexual aspect, what do y'all think about drider battlemounts? Good, bad, indifferent?
Also, on a completely different matter, I hope when the team starts to really get in on the goblins and incorporating them into the world that they don't forget their own established lore. For example, goblins would say Rowan is an absolute beast -- a fiend -- in bed with near-unending stamina even if *he* thought it was just a quickie. After all, Clamin (sp?) is an experienced, learned matriarch that's knowledgeable of such things; hence, when she makes such firsthand remarks, it's likely the truth.
