At last, Varsuviuus' prophecy is realising... Or is this just a trick to distract us from the real thing ?

Re: OOTS #634 - The Discussion Thread
Well, if you count "I...I" as two words, then it counts. And assuming that it does, all the wrong reasons indeed.

Re: OOTS #634 - The Discussion Thread
Maybe not. Richard Burlew is well known for playing tricks with his readers, and there are certainly more "ultimate" arcane powers in the OotS world. Originally Posted by memnarch

If this was a movie, this would be the part where everyone is yelling

Re: OOTS #634 - The Discussion Thread
Looks like the wrong reasons are that V would have to avoid admitting that his current arcane power is insufficient. This is primarily a matter of pride.

Re: OOTS #634 - The Discussion Thread
The way of dealing with the problem that the fiends proposed *is* circuitous and not guaranteed to succeed. But it was an option. Sorry to see Vaarsuvius making this decision when it wasn't the only way... Yet, in a sense, I'm not sorry, because it's pretty serious character development. Mistakes often fuel the most interesting stories.
PS: The sad little expression on V's face as s/he reaches out to touch the orb in just horrible. It's like s/he is well aware that hir motivations are not all that pure at the moment of the choice, and that pride is playing a large part in the decision - but that can't stop hir.Last edited by Estelindis; 2009-03-01 at 08:07 PM.

Re: OOTS #634 - The Discussion Thread
Perhaps, but look at the title of the comic, and the whole meaning. Until now I didn't think it would be the prophecy because saving your own family is a very good reason, but after this... Originally Posted by Mad Mask

Re: OOTS #634 - The Discussion Thread
Oh, V
This is the first time I've ever been really disappointed in him/her. Everything else has been done for other people, more or less, but this was the selfish choice. It's not about saving V's partner and children any more, it's about not failing. This makes me very sad.
Great comic, Rich!

Re: OOTS #634 - The Discussion Thread
I don't see any four words that had any effect whatsoever here. It was by touching the globe that V earned the power. If she had stayed silent and touched it, it'd still be the same.
There are no four words here.

Re: OOTS #634 - The Discussion Thread
That's a pretty stupid way to shoehorn the whole "for all the wrong reasons" part of the prophecy in at the last minute. Anyone with common sense could see that it's not a matter of V's pride being tarnished, it's a matter of time; One solution will immediately grant him the power he needs to fend off the dragon. The other is a ridiculously circuitous plan that will most assuredly take longer than it has to. If I were in V's shoes I would have called the three fiends idiots for even suggesting the alternative.

Re: OOTS #634 - The Discussion Thread
Hmmmm... this still doesn't seem like "all the wrong reasons" to me... he was pressured and running out of time... and even if you say he's doing it because of his own pride, that's still not "all the wrong reasons", as he will save his family in the process...
It just doesn't feel to me like this is the prophecy being fulfilled.

Rules that supersede Rule 0:
Rule -1: You're all there to have fun. The GM and the players should never do anything that would limit people's fun, for any in-game or real-life reason.
Rule -0.5 (corollary): That means that if someone's fun is getting in the way of other people's fun, that person needs to change how they're playing.

Re: OOTS #634 - The Discussion Thread
I soooooo cannot wait to see how this turns out for V.
Though, I am intrigued at the other option they presented, and the fact that V wouldn't accept the need to admit failure if it meant nobody goes into fiend custody later.
