  • The overall plot, there is a worm in your head and you need to stop the BBEG from invading the city and killing everyone doesn’t change, no.

    The stories with the individual characters change dramatically based on your choices. That’s the main reason I kept playing through it. Needed to see what happens if I let Gail have the crown, needed to see if I could save Karlach. Wanted to let Lae’zel take the lead and see what happens. What if I’m the dark urge but don’t want to be? Lots of different small stories.







  • An economist is at a baseball game when he sees a man outraged that a hotdog costs twelve dollars, and a beer costs 20. “I just wanted to have a fun day with my family, but tickets are suddenly 100 dollars! Now this?!”

    What an idiot, the economist thinks. Can’t he see the revenue he’s generating?? The economist pays 64 dollars for two hotdogs and two beers, which he immediately drops on the ground, which makes him very happy.

    Interesting choice, Bosnia and Herzegovina had a greater than 10% infection rate. With over half of the deaths occurring within a year of the first infection. It was 4 times more deadly in Bosnia and Herzegovina than it was in the US.

    If that’s where you’re claiming to be from, the chances you didn’t know someone who had it, and had it bad, are practically 0. So either you’re full of shit, or you aren’t human.





  • Charles II of Spain in particular, who’s depicted here, is kind of an outlier. His body was so fucked up it’s hard to tell if the post mortem report is genuine or if the guy writing it didn’t embellish it by an insane degree. We do know that intellectually disabled to some degree, in addition to the numerous physical illnesses he suffered. And by all accounts he was a generally nice person.
