[OOC] You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

[freedomliveson]

Ok then!

We can stick with the original plan, then. I kinda want to see Aria on Tython :p

[The Elvenqueen]

Apologies for such a delay, curse those traffic jams! D: Working on the post now, will have it done shortly XD

[freedomliveson]

So the way you wrote your last post led me to believe Aria had launched an offensive attack and I wrote accordingly. Did I get that right? Let me know if I need to change anything! :)

Also, wanna end the fight in your post or my next one? Or have another round of posts before we end? Up to you

[The Elvenqueen]

Yep, her strategy is essentially "overwhealm opponent with offensive attacks and hope they're not quick enough to dodge all of them", perhaps not the best in some cases but hey it works for her when they're not over a foot taller than her XD

I can end it now if you'd like :) I vaguely recall you mentioning somewhere in your interest check that fight scenes weren't your favourite so that's fine :P

[freedomliveson]

Ha! See, I love her tenacity...well, I just love what I've seen from her in general, so there's that xD

Oh bless you. I can do fight scenes for only so long, you know?

[The Elvenqueen]

She's definitely my favourite of my KOTOR crew, I'm not going to lie XD

No worries, tbh they can only go on so long before they get repetitive anyways so I find the better ones do tend to be shorter ;) lol

[The Elvenqueen]

Eeek, slightly sloppy ish writing (at least it kind of seems that way when I re-read some of it D:) in the last couple of paragraphs, but I hope it's at least a semi-believable way to put her up to the sleeper agent role without making her father seem too out of character for a Sith lord by helping her out too much or something XD

[freedomliveson]

No, no, it worked out great! I mean, you did the best job possible. There was no way to get her dad down there physically and it's not as if she could stop and think about the decision...besides, she's Sith. When there's an opportunity to gain the upper hand on your opponent, you do it, no matter what the cost. Her Dad is trying to instill that in her, so yeah, that makes sense.

[The Elvenqueen]

Oh phew, I was worried it'd come off as a little slap dash but I was trying to avoid the really bad "appears out of nowhere for plot convenience" trope XD

[freedomliveson]

Haha! You did a great job! :D

Also, forgive me for slowing down a bit, but I want to make sure Yerbol has some time to process his grief and actually, you know, find stuff out about his sister. I also find that slowing the pace down helps our characters actually get to know each other. Sound ok?

[The Elvenqueen]

No problem, definitely a good idea to slow down a little or else character development could get a little tricky O.o XD

[freedomliveson]

Oh seriously. I like having a good balance of action and talking...kinda like Mass effect...or KOTOR for that matter! That's why those games are so stinking good.

[The Elvenqueen]

I have yet to play Mass Effect actually, but yeah I always liked how you had to go through the dialogue to advance the plot in KOTOR. I like action and all as much as the next person but without dialogue and/or character development it gets very...2D? I find that I enjoy the games that have a decent mix of dialogue and fighting/questing a heck of a lot more than the ones that are just "let's blow stuff up and kill people", definitely agree with ya there lol

[freedomliveson]

Seriously. I get so tired of the market being flooded by games that have no depth to them. It's just(as you said) "blow stuff up!!!" or "rob this bank!!!!". That's why I adore games like KOTOR and the Witcher series. Meaningful characters and story PLUS good to great gameplay? Yes please

[The Elvenqueen]

Ugh, preach it XD I've pretty much ignored a lot of the more recent/modern games because the characters/storyline etc. just SUCK compared to the really nice, old games like KOTOR and Dragon Age and all the rest of those :P

[freedomliveson]

Heading out for the day. Will post on Tuesday :)

Have a great three day weekend!

[The Elvenqueen]

Okidoki, you too! :P

[freedomliveson]

I am SO sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but MAN ALIVE was the guild being difficult.

Will be posting TO. DAY. <---to accentuate

[The Elvenqueen]

Hahaha no worries, I couldn't even get anything done through all the error pages yesterday so no worries! XD fingers crossed those are over now -_- lol
