Greedfall - Tumblr Posts
Literally days after I had the thought of a bioware like rpg with either cowboys or pirates, I find out about Greedfall. Hope it's good cuz I need a new rpg
Me: *just wants some arts with Constantin* Artists: ha-ha bush head So I did it myself
I’ve never had any problem with sense of direction before Greedfall. This game is so mysterious.
“Why? Why have you done this?”
It still hurts, so I had to draw it.
Greedfall took a piece of my soul away (the most amazing game but God it hurts).
Kurt: I'm a cold-hearted mercenary
Also Kurt: *is devastated when he learns about Reiner's death and goes to the ends of the earth to get him justice, will be just as devastated if Wilhelm dies despite knowing him for all of two minutes*
Kurt: I'm only as loyal as the gold I'm paid
Also also Kurt: *will betray the Coin Guard for de Sardet, and even if he doesn't, he would sooner die than live having betrayed them*
Kurt: I have a heart of stone
Still Kurt: *literally can't be bribed by Aurelia and she knows her best chance would be threatening his recruits*
Kurt: I'm just a real bastard and there are no puppy dog eyes
Additionally Kurt: *has the saddest, wettest puppy dog eyes in then party*
The fact that the coup goes so very differently when Kurt betrays de Sardet gets me so bad. You're caught off guard the moment he walks in and calls on his squad. Then once he's beaten, you're scrambling to rescue your allies because the traitors know Kurt is gone, and the time spent putting together a plan of action is time they use to proceed with the attack, and you're operating off of intuition rather than Kurt's intel. The time loss is significant enough that messengers aren't enough, you need to go straight to San Matheus or Hikmet in order to prevent the coup from hitting there. And you can only get one, saving both is off of the table.
Kurt's decision to betray the Guard or de Sardet can change the fate of a whole city, and alter the island's political landscape in a big way. And it all comes down to how deeply he, the self-proclaimed cold-hearted mercenary, cares.
