[[POTENTIAL SPOILERS] Desolation Fanworks Thread!]

based on E4 with Shiv more scruffy: Nova versus Shiv, FIGHT

might add some colour later on, trying to be realistic though so it'll take forever

[[SPOILERS] Episode 5 Story Discussions]

Still reeling from the ending in E5, but man it's a great game - got hooked from the start by the characters, the story, the art, the maps and the soundtrack (the Redcliff/Old Woodlands theme is so serene)

 

There's so many details that shone or really worked for me, character and story-wise:

• Connor being an ass but upfront about it, the others not taking his shit
• Aderyn's friend being a she, definitely not Tristan (don't know what happened to her though)
• Garret's keep it simple, mano a mano fight - no fancy-pants buffs/fields here
• Lots of fun shout-outs, some favs being Lord Helix (praise be), dude looking for hidden items, and of course to the Dev team:

  (love finding and figuring out little easter eggs like these)

There's also so many questions, off the top of my head:

Spoiler

1. Can we free the folks stuck in Odis village? Have they died/vanished in Ayrith, like Tristan? It's like once you're in Odis, everyone in Ayrith forgets about you
2. How could we loosen Darkrai's influence over the twins? Seems like Shiv, Aurora and Nova are willing to reach their dreams at any cost, which is probably how Darkrai caught them - but the twins are victims too and I wonder how much of the mind games they play is really driven by them, or what they'd do in revenge against Darkrai when free
3. What's going to happen to the Foxes and Crescent, with Lilith/Nova using them for their own goals? Lilith is still super shady, but I'd like to see how she interacts with Garret (if he doesn't aim for her throat immediately)

 

Does anyone have more ideas/thoughts about these questions? Would like to hear them

could be intentional, but I thought this was a typo:

Garret should be talking about Aurora and Shiv instead of:

after replacing E5.0.4 with E5.0.5, it seems like pickup rates have dropped/stopped completely - not sure how to prove this though

thanks for fixing this in E5.1! 2 more minor pickup things since then:

1. picked up a pokesnax at some point, which is missing an icon - may be replaced by poke-candy

 

2. picked up a lucky egg with my lvl 51 pokemon whilst challenging the Blackview Fight Club, no complaints there  - just wanted to check if it was part of the pickup table
