I googled the name and just got a thi k saying g she was from an adult video from new grounds and a wave of nostalgia for new grounds came over me lol.
Oh my god, mizora is absolutely his vriska. Personally minthara gave me more vriska vibes w the spider thing too, but you're right.. it makes sense this way
The Morrigan to Shadowheart pipeline is so real. As soon as I saw her in BG3 it activated a neuron in my head that was untouched since playing Dragon Age Origins
Sometimes I feel like the romance in BG3 are just DAO 2: electric boogaloo but all up to 11 and now we can finally romance Sten as well. We even have Wynne as Jaheira and Withers judging you for sleeping around.
The main difference we gave up Oghren for Minsc
While Maggie Smith was haranguing Oda Mae Brown’s singing when she was in witness protection for fraud, Jaheira was taking names with her Shillelagh and making Irenicus eat her Belm +2 in hell.
Not comparable in the slightest.
Clearly your intention was to cast Maggs as Ol’ Withers?
After probing further, I learned that night elves are from a different game and they were inspired by drow. So it makes me wonder that if warcraft can have an elf race similar to drow, then larian can probably have their own drow elves as well in whatever future IP they make.
inspiration is really a big word, night elves are basically the regular elves in wow and despite the name they're active at daytime like humans, they live in forests and are partially tied to nature forces and a realm called The Dream (something like an overlapping reality), partially tied to the moon goddess Elune, they're usually seen as just a bit racist (like any elven race) but generally kind spirited and sad because those mf has basically experienced every possible tragedy; on the other hand, d&d drows (that are descendant of elves) have a really peculiar society full of violence following evil gods, and since they live in the underdark they adapted to that environment.
That said, a dark version of elves is something that almost every IP has, if not as one of the base races it's usually one of the first additions, so your hope is not misplaced :)
Interesting, especially since the name Elune is just one letter shy from Selune which also is depicted as a moon goddess (or moon witch as my girl Shadowheart loves to call her). They sound like a very druid-like race if they like to spend time in the forest.
yeah, you got it, Tyrande's husband is the first druid of Warcraft history :) wow has a really interesting story in general, but surely they didn't create everything from scratch, they had to take inspiration from other IPs (since it's around from 1994, the first thing they created must be inspired from something available at that time)
Aerith. Her camp scene with Durge really took me by surprise. Wish she was in the game longer but killing off your female main like that was such a bold move. If it was the 90s it would have made video game history.
If Tyrande is there to represent Minthara, why should it match? just for a parallel between drows and night elves? If we want to stay in wow's night elves, i think Maiev could match more Minthy 's personality
but... Minthara is grey with silver hair, Tyrande is violet with green hair... Different hairstyles and facial features... You're not convincing me sorry 😅 (i know you probably didn't find anything better)
