As a long term player, I’m going to disagree with you. Those the characters in question were NPCs now they both started as PCs and are both really relevant to the history and story of the game. And several PCs were heavily impacted.

It’s pretty powerful magic when a demigod splits in half.

I would gently encourage rereading the pose preceding that composure check.
Also, a character briefly getting sad from supernatural shit is laughably low stakes when one has already opted into a scene where death is very likely.

@Solstice Something something, ‘I CONSENT TO (possible) DEATH, I DO NOT CONSENT TO FEELINGS’

From my BG3 memes group, but seemed relevant.

@Tchotchke I’m going to have to assume you definitely didn’t read the pose. It was not a player character and an objectively magical event happened in that pose that lead to those checks.
Idk what gave you the impression people could cite “player agency” over reacting to a magical composure check. That has never been the case in Arx.
Edit to add: Objectively as in someone split into TWO.

@kalakh kills u

I definitely missed the pose. But since my character was already sad… guess it’s okay? I was having trouble processing at the end there.
Wild event.

just a little peeve of myself. i already tried to bring my character back once and failed super miserably, and i know i’d just fail again if i tried too.
this wrapping up stories sound like it will be a lot of fun, but i just know i wouldn’t be able to actually participate.
hope you guys all enjoy!

I’ve always had fun as Ysbail, but it was always tricksy getting into her because I very much don’t know the lore that she does, and picking clues together that a previous player found was confusing.
I’ll very much be there for the next go-round, hopefully getting in on the ground floor enough that the mysteries make sense as I learn about them and whatnot.
I’ll try to be around for the big finale, foo!
-
to whatever is next.

Good luck to those who’re hanging out for the finale. I wish you a happy nuke day whenever it arrives.

From Ari to the living!

Re: the latest ban, all I can think about is a conversation with that player where he emphatically assured me of how great his IC/OOC boundaries are!! Honest!!

Yyeeaaahhh… I was super involved with them for a while. I highly regret it and my life became easier when I finally blocked and cut off contact that wasn’t ic as necessary by then being Norwood’s nephew.
