  • Others have noted that the pool of eligible recruits is shrinking — young people are more obese, have been on therapeutic drugs (disqualifying), are in poor shape, and have histories of using recreational drugs/alcohol and bad behavior.

    I mean yeah this is pretty much it I’d wager. I wanted to be a pilot so badly as a kid that I used to beg my parents to drive me out to the small regional airport we have in town just so I could chance seeing something take off/land. Imagine my amusement in HS when they had the recruiters in the lunch room one day, one of them saw my NASA jacket and went “wanna fly a supersonic jet?? soypoint-2” to which I earnestly replied “absolutely” only for them to go “aw shucks…you’re a type 1 diabetic AND you have poor eyesight?? Sorry kid you can’t fly planes” lmao

    In retrospect this is a good thing because I absolutely would’ve joined the Air Force just to get into the air and would’ve realized like 2 days into boot camp that “holy shit I could just play microsoft flight sim for 4,000 hours and beg a commercial airline to take me up”



  • Haha to be fair that’s pretty much all of them in their own ways - except Gale, who falls in love with you instantly basically provided you’re a wizard and - in my experience - don’t outright condemn a goblin to death.

    spoiler for like act 1

    Shadowheart, after saving the Druid Camp, came up to me in camp and went “wow I never thought I’d care about refugees” and I was like “huh?? what? you haven’t cared about the druids or the refugees at all throughout this entire quest. I’ve literally only seen Lae’zal get pissed at me for wasting time and not finding the creche” but I love her so…I can change her


  • honestly understandable. Astarion has only ever made it into my party ONCE in my handful of playthroughs throughout early access and release.

    Didn’t really want to use him during my current playthrough (why tf am I still in Act 1 I have like 100 hours logged) so when I picked him up I was like “just go to camp bro”

    Tell me why he has the nerve to complain about Karlach and whatnot in camp after I let him do the succ the one time. Bro shut the hell up you are just hanging out in camp keeping watch on my valuables (and Scratch) while me & my REAL comrades (Shadowheart, Gale, and Lae’zal) go gallivanting around. Vampire twink begone, I have Invisibility prepared on Gale and also have a ring that lets Lae’zal cast invisibility - I need you for NOTHING not even thievery. Oh there’s something nearby I can’t grab? Githyanki Jump and/or Mage Hand. what use are you, you vampire twink, besides doing the succ on enemies. (don’t ask me how many times my party has failed to hit someone with an arrow)

    Anyways Astarion disliked that.
