I've Got My Route Run-through Planned (if That's The Right Term).

I've got my route run-through planned (if that's the right term).

Gonna do it: Angie, Dani, Cass, Bela, Alcina, Donna, Miranda.

Now to find the time to play 😔

Just 100% completed Elden Ring, love this game. Frenzy flame was my favorite ending but for my character the Canon end is perfect order. I did stars and frenzy on a second character to not have the dlc be ng+ lol

Another headcanon post but this time for jobs the party would have in different situations. (It'll make sense in a minute)

Lae’zel (if the gith were nonmilitaristic/ she was literally any other race): a florist/gardener. In game she loves to point out the beauty and majesty of nature (then say something bad cuz girly is the worst at expressing herself) not to say she wouldn't still like fighting but I think had she even able to grow from a child without that stict culture she'd be softer

Gale: a professor. Had he not gotten the orb/ gotten involved with mystra. He's just so passionate about magic and teaching that he'd be perfect as an instructor for both children and adults.

Shadowheart: a rancher. Had Shar not been a dick and kidnapped her. I see her and her parents opening a ranch where they could raise animals and care for abandoned ones. She in canon loves animals and in her good ending wants to live away with tons.

Wyll: as I said in a previous post, a writer/adventurer. Homie is a poet at heart and could spread such positive messages had he not gotten involved with Mizora or the cult of tiamat's shenanigans.

Karlach: tavern owner. Had she not met gortash. I don't remember where I saw it but swear I've seen post that say she in canon wanted to open a pub, but I think it fits her personality well. She so open and personable that she'd be great at it.

Astarion: a politician/duke. Had he not been turned or captured by cazador. I can really see him rising the ranks of politics (either for good or not) he's just so charismatic and suave that you can't not love him. He said he was a magistrate before he was bitten too (but who knows if that's true, I think it is tho)

Halsin: a woodworker/ craftsman. Had he not become a druid and the shadow cursed not happened. I can see him just living in the woods near Reithwin whittling away chatting with Thaniel and nurturing the animals with the money he makes helping the town.

Minthara: Drow Matron. Had the cult not gotten her. She is the one I see changing the least. She's so confident in who she is and her ideals, she'd easily claw her way to the top of Menzoberranzan culture.

Since the game said Raphael smells like roses and cherries ( and Sulphur, but im assuming that's just hell scent), I came up with some ideas on what the party could smell like cuz im weird.

Shadowheart: orchids and lime (lime is canon too)

Lae’zel: metal and almonds (which is apparently what space smells like)

Wyll: wood smoke and pine/fir

Halsin: honeysuckle and tobacco

Gale: parchment and tea (according to Tim Downie (gale himself), its sandalwood and woodsmoke)

Astarion: red wine and wintergreen (some soft mint) and an undertone of blood (Apparently its canon bergamot, brandy, and rosemary, thanks for letting me know (: )

Karlach: smores and honey (just warmth and chocolate)

Jaheira: Magnolia and rain

Minsc: oud and musk

Minthara: earth and coffee

Mizora: jasmine and sandalwood

Out of all the theories I've seen on Melina's backstory, I'm suprised I haven't seen one saying that she's an offshoot of Marika like how millicent is an offshoot of Malenia. (Not saying it doesn't exist just saying I haven't seen it)

Like there are quite a few parallels,

Melina and millicent (and millicents sisters) wear similar outfits

We know that to become a God one has to shed parts of themselves (re. Miquela) and those parts can become living beings of their own (re. Malenia)

Melina has intimate knowledge of Marika (even words she said to Radagon in private re. The Melina dialog in the queen's bedchambers)

Melina is the only NPC that knows Marika's unique spell she made for the shaman village

Melina herself follows Marika's path in abandoning the Erdtree and the Greater Will (Marika shattering the ring and Melina burning the tree)

Heck there's probably even more but I can't think of anything else rn

Yuuuhh this is some fire dialog (I knew i shouldn't have messed with mods, Ive had non stop issues)
