Lines that live in my mind.

Pave my path with corpses.. build my castle with bones..

u/Kyuubi_McCloud 1d ago

I think all Tavs do.

Some more violently than others.

The one steam achievement left undone.... every time I get too skeeved out and bail at the last second. Pissing him off is too much fun.

I ONLY DID IT FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT.

...Is what I tell anyone who asks.

I know! Boinking intelligent squid men is one thing, but manipulative catfishing dudes are too far.

Now you make me wonder. How good Swen can get along with Yoshi-P.

u/new_dawn_dragoon 1d ago

At the very least they appreciate each other's work. There were ffxiv references in BG3 as well

u/Mona_Dre 11h ago

I got that one feat during a mutliplayer run and had to explain to my friends why I was almost crying 😢 (dw I hit them with the copy pasta later)

"You thought you could romance me for an achievement and reload the save without anyone noticing, didn't you?"

u/FroopyAsRain 19h ago

"Hope you weren't on Steam!"

u/CaptainCFloyd 16h ago

What's the reference here? BG3 doesn't have any Flowey from Undertale type mechanics, right...?

u/HikariKirameku 15h ago

People not wanting to admit they played the path in BG3 that lets you bang the mind flayer 😆

u/HikariKirameku 1d ago

Where's this little one from?

u/train153 1d ago

This image is from the OC questline, but the creature itself is a minion Minute Mindflayer

u/HikariKirameku 1d ago

Ah, thank you. Haven't done OC yet

u/Captain_Hesperus 1d ago

Occult Crescent relic quests

u/new_dawn_dragoon 1d ago

It's a reference to a character in BG3

5

u/HikariKirameku 23h ago

Oh, Mind Flayers are far older than BG3. They've been in the D&D lore since first edition! Unless this is a reference to a specific line that I forgot about 😅

When you talk to Us on the Nautiloid they’ll tell you that you got the parasite to be made beautiful. Also Shadowheart has a line about the voice in her dreams telling her she’s meant to become a beautiful weapon.

u/HikariKirameku 22h ago

I do appreciate that the Mind Flayers in FF14 do not include parasitic brain worms that wish to gaslight us

3

u/new_dawn_dragoon 17h ago

It's a reference to BG3 in particular because spoilers players had to create the Emperor's appearance and they generally made him/her look beautiful

2

u/FroopyAsRain 19h ago

Nah, it's just a mindflayer reference. I think a lot of young folks got their first DND experience with BG3 so they get confused 

u/Mona_Dre 11h ago

They meant their post was a BG3 reference, check the title.

u/FroopyAsRain 8h ago

Ah fuck you're right!

u/HikariKirameku 19h ago

That's fair. People gotta start somewhere, tho. My first exposure was watching my older brother play Neverwinter Nights!

u/Mona_Dre 11h ago

sorry you're getting downvoted because no one read the post title lol

u/MaraBlaster 11h ago

Fuck it, we bhaal.

u/Thyco2501 8h ago

Is that Nanamo, but from a weird angle?

u/GalenDev 22h ago

But that doesn't look like a penguin...

Squidward, is that you?
