Wow I have some stuff to say, so sorry about the long ass post.
Pros
-Meeting some new faces and snowing the fresh Einher the ropes of town, both of them (your names escape me) were a blast to hang around and RP with.
-Discovering my brother's "ailment" and having to watch them go through all of that.
-The RP of getting in Desmond's face after he shit talked my brother.
-I ALMOST DIED AGAIN. This time I had to take the brunt of a spider attack and got dragged off. Why is this a pro? Because thankfully Abitosh (correct spelling?) come in to save me like a badass and I once again get a near death experience.
-Giant octopus fight with the new players. This new player mod was one of the best I've seen hands down. The monster felt believable and well designed, its abilities and strengths were very intuitive to learn and work around, and getting to thrust my sword through its mouth was one hell of a satisfying killing blow. As a bonus we were all able to make a good amount of coin of the loot!
-Vlad showed up saturday and like any good Jarl would he immediately worked to get all of us out to do something as one big Einher family, which lead too...
-Orogs (correct spelling) that we fought off. These guys are some of my favorite mosters around, and for the same reason as the octopus above. Their mechanics are very intuitive to understand and make the fight a hell of a lot more fun to engage with. If you get hit with a massive hit it was because you got reckless and didn't watch out.
-The first half of the saturday night mod was really fun. As a shield fighter at the front of the second group it was so fun to see the boulders emerge from the smoke and call them out to the people behind me while trying to not get hit myself... thank god for bolster.
-NPC camp coming up with a believable and natural to continue the sunday morning mod with out the vital Ramsey to help us out. I'm glad we were able to finish it.
-BEING ABLE TO FIGHT STUFF. It bugs me to no end when I can't do anything but run and hide from things I cant fight. Obviously this is a natural part of the game and I'm not saying that I want to me able to solo greater demons only 4 games in, but it feels good to be able to hurt the majority of the things this weekend and feel like I'm contributing something other than being a shield for someone else.
And the Biggest pro of all...
-After game some of you came up to me and complimented the RP is was doing with my Einher, even a few NPC's commented on my actions in a more positive way. I've always been struggling with the RP of my characters as often times they turn into brooding antisocial jerks. To hear that my RP is good even if by a minority of people feels so good that its hard to put into words, and I finally feel like I'm doing my RP right for the first time. I thank you all for the kind words!
Neutral
-I got robbed finally. Again its a part of the game and I accept that it was 100% avoidable but it still feels bad. I need to get a lock.
-Citadel is now a permanent force on the island. Seeing how they plan to exert their influence and what happens next will be exciting. Will they start taking our "undesirables" out of the picture or are some of us going to have to deal with it ourselves.
Cons
-The only complaint I have concerns the saturday night mods last half. There was little in the way to do for anyone other than magic users to fuss over, and most of us just decided to leave when it was apparent nothing else was going to happen. Even having a few monsters come out of the wood works would have at least help a little with this.
As a bonus note...
Throughout the game many people had used incorrect pronouns with my friend Will/IG brother Bjorn. while I don't fault anyone for the simple mistake, nor does my friend; it did feel a little awkward when people would refer to my BROTHER as a woman, despite that I would refer them them as a man. I ask that if anyone is ever confused to someones identity both in and out of game to please ask out of game, there is no harm in doing so.
TL;DR this was a fun as hell game with very few problems IMO
9.5/10 would make an enemy out of a high elf again.
