[Tundra 793]

Might do a new run, I hated the choice between lovers, I had a preference but it felt like he owed it more to the other (and my choice took advantage of amnesia so not so good a person however much she cares), either way the scene rejecting the other is damn hard lol. It earns its dark fantasy tag. Might be worth it for another reason, my mother was Polish/first generation English but the general feeling was us kids wouldn't need to know Polish, I won't learn it off a game but worth it to listen to.

The last one I saw any of was a cop with aspergers, followed that one through. Personally I blame all the scandanavian crime authors selling books in England, people want to see that stuff as a result.

Yeah, the books have all but forced a single "canonical" choice on players, and for good reason. But once you really get into the lore, either choice is entirely valid. I've done 3 playthroughs, Triss won 2/3.

I honestly didn't know the Scandinavian crime books sold well outside Scandinavia, but I take full responsibility for the atrocities. The Rain just premiered on Netflix though, here's hoping Danish Sci-Fi can undo the decades of detective novels.

Yeah I think I need to run through the Triss playthrough once, it was Yennefer's similarity to the Morrigan down to having a raven statue that took it. I also need to finish that damn card deck, I underused the gwent beta I was invited to so might be worth seeing if that is worth buying.

I wouldn't say the books ever made it to number one but they are prominent and numerous enough that I would guess they sold well enough otherwise you'd have another book out there. Book stores don't advertise for charity, they take any edge such as one of ours having posters over the Strike series in large front and centre letters written by JK Rowling writing as Robert Golbraith...that annoyed me, use what is on the damn cover, so yeah if I am seeing so much Dragon Tattoo and Jo Nesbo, I suspect they are selling.

Technically, I think Morrigan was similar to Yennefer, the original Witcher stories were all from the 90s if I recall. But the raven is simply a prominent animal in European mythology, hence the similarities. Gwent was at it's best in Witcher 3. I almost completely neglected it on my first playthrough, thinking it was just a dumb mini game, but on my second playthrough It was like a whole new world. Sometimes I fire up Witcher 3 just for some good Gwent games. But the full Gwent game is a whole 'nother animal mate. Way more Hearthstone esque. It'll take almost as much dedication as Witcher 3. I've only played bits of it, but It's way more intricate than it needs to be.

Some days, I want to become a writer just to free the rest of the world from the dull Scandinavian crime dramas, and show everyone that there's more to Scandinavia than serial murders and rain. There's also beer and bacon.

If you mean Dragon Age, I mean Morrigan as in THE Morrigan, a Celtic/Irish goddess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morr%C3%ADgan Following the link on that page to how she is depicted in popular culture, she was the first Celtic figure featured in Smite. It is certainly a thought to go with Witcher though, I am really liking For Honor on PC and it has been my main Xbox game for the last year so it would be a reason to turn the xbox on.

This tends to be how The Morrigan is depicted when not in another person or animal's form. Come to think of it with the Valk mythology I suspect this is why my Valk has always had the raven tattoo as I mentioned earlier.



Edit: I turned the language to Polish and just for the intro, sounds a hundred times better, also looked up a few scenes on youtube and very much appreciate the Bloody Baron and his men not having an exaggerated form of my accent (which usually gets given to anyone dim and/or brutish >.>) so definitely a keeper.

Lol not a fan of bacon, but sure I would read scandanavian books that are not crime, I want to write some time myself in the high fantasy kind of genre but I have too many characters yapping at me at once (I played way too much D&D, enough stuck around).

Rice* doors

On a more serious note though; we never saw the former emperor's inner defenses. First we eliminate Tozen and a bunch of his soldiers, then we just see Apollyon and a big squad storming in right as the whole place was at its weakest because of the Vikings, and after that it's Seijuro who, presumably, had little knowledge in how to properly run a palace; most of his security was in the same room. And he probably felt too sure of himself to reinforce any palace defenses. He was like "I won" and long before he knew it, our ninja-gaiden-wannabe hero storms right in.

So what we can take from this is that the Vikings can pick apart and successfully raid the most badass fortress in the game? Which technically makes the Vikings the strongest and most badass faction 👍

Hey the orochi said paper and s/he was there That being said though

The Vikings only got into the city, Apollyon herself says that few fortresses were better protected than the palace (which has been destroyed by fire, civil war but never invaders) and that Blackstone would not have held out a tenth of the time. If we believe Apollyon's assertion that something drove the Samurai to the myre, the emperor of the time was apparently determined not to let it happen again.

I stand corrected on the Vikings not making it into the fortress itself then. But we are still the most badass faction 😏

Hey I am not arguing against that, I joined them after half a year of trying to work around volcano obsessed nuts given they were my second choice at game launch and it was the peacekeeper who I am also now not as hot on owing to the dev comments that the character playstyle is now meant to be in your face opersistent pressure (so light spam) that swung it lol

[NEW HISTORICAL FIGURES IN FOR HONOR'S UNIVERSE, UNEARTHED TO US BY SEASON VI, THE HERO'S MARCH]

Well... this is a lot to take in. Strap in, boys, we're going in raw!

Valentia, the Warden of Westlake:
"The Warden of Westlake adorned her weapons with precious stones".

A Warden with a vain streak? Humorous.

Magnus, the Conqueror:
"Magnus the Conqueror used to threaten enemies of the throne with his menacing shield".

What "throne" are they referring to? The throne of his Warlord? The throne of the New Lord Warden? I wonder.

Cassandra, the Peacekeeper:
"Cassandra the Peacekeeper's blade was tainted red with the blood of her enemies".

Of course, it was. Do we expect anything different of a typical Gadfly?

Marius, the Lawbringer:
"Marius the Lawbringer was awarded for his courage in the battle for Rosa Collis".

What was Marius rewarded with? A Poleaxe? The one we get in the Event?

Octavius, the Centurion:
"The Centurion, Octavius, celebrated his conquest of Mt. Ignis".

Did Octavius conquer Mt. Ignis back during the Roman Dynasty, before the Cataclysm? Or is he one of the Centurion Survivors, and he conquered the volcano after it was briefly taken by the Samurai during the Age of Wolves?

Asterion, the Gladiator:
"Asterion the Gladiator defeated the Mighty Golden Hind".

What is the Golden Hind? Is that a reference to some obscure real-world Gladiator thing?

Ragna, the Raider:
"Ragna the Raider wielded an ancient axe, forged by the Gods and destined to rule".

Did Ragna succeed? Was he cut down before his destiny could be realized? I'm sure that he told everyone that his dane-axe was forged by a higher power, either way.

Bjorn, the Warlord:
"The Warlord, Bjorn's, runic inscriptions were said to bring good fortune".

Were they, now?

The Berserker Brothers of Hylur's Bay:
"The Berserker Brothers fought to the death over control of Hylur's Bay".

What were their names? If it's referenced in the Gear of their axes, I wouldn't know- I don't play Camel-Spider.

Herja, the Valkyrie of Ishmar:
"They say that the Valkyrie of Ishmar never took prisoners".

'Kay, then? Does any Valkyrie take prisoners? I wouldn't imagine so...

Andraste, the Highlander:
"With her dying breath, Andraste the Highlander honored Lachlan with this sword".

Well, well, well... female Highlanders... someone's going to be happy! (wink, wink) Who is "Lachlan"? A person or an "Old God", worshipped by the Highlander culture? In any case, Andraste must have been a Hell of a blacksmith.

Samhain, the Shaman:
"Her chant was the last thing Samhain the Shaman's enemies would ever hear".

What specific enemies did she have, though? What did they do?

Jubei, the Kensei:
"As he walked through the fields of Jigoku, Jubei the Kensei saw only ashes".

Someone's miffed about their home being wrecked.

Makoto, the Shugoki:
"As eloquently put by Makoto the Shugoki: the weak are meat; the strong eat".

I like Makoto's thinking, as a fellow Shrek main. By the way: "makoto" is Japanese for "honesty".

Ariwara, the Orochi:
"Ariwara the Orochi was an assassin, and a poet. His songs are still sung, today".

Ah, yes, the Weeb-meister. A "warrior poet", eh? Mmm- noice.

Chihaya, the Nobushi:
"As Chihaya the Nobushi pierced the sky, the Gods answered".

Did they really, though?

Ayame, the Shinobi:
"When Ayame the Shinobi danced, her comrades stood up and cheered".

Well, that's a cute image. A Shinobi girl dancing around a campfire and being cheered on. Charming- someone make some fan art of that!

Shizuo, the Aramusha:
"Shizuo the Aramusha fought to avenge his hometown in Josei".

Ah, it seems that Aramushas renounce their loyalty to Daimyos and Emperors - not just out of being exiled - but out of a need for vengeance! I see we're going full-on Weeabo with this one!

-------------------------

And, finally, we have the Big Three for this Event...

"Their names became myths".

Belval, the Medusa:
"Belval the Knight terrified her enemies with her Mask of the Medusa".

A Warden.

"Lady Belval charged into battle, terrifying all with her mask of Medusa".

... k.

Seriously, though, she must have been important to be one the namesake of a Mask Outfit. Perhaps on par with the protagonists of the Story Mode?

Musashi, the Crane:
"Musashi was blessed by The Spirit of the Crane".

A Kensei.

Was he, now? And, apparently, he "decimated the finest swordsmen with a/the stroke of a thousand cranes".

Heidrek, the Warthog:
"Heidrek the Viking conquered a fortress with his savage warthogs".

A Raider.

Apparently, he "conquered a kingdom with an army of unstoppable beasts". So... I'm guessing he trained and employed wild boars for use in warfare? And... by "kingdom", I can only assume that he conquered a particularly powerful Clan- or confederation of Clans.

[CandleInTheDark]

I believe Lachlan is the Highlander as his weapon is named Andraste's Favor, or at least Lachlan is the pictured one since that is definitely a male Highlander.
