I did ... it's done some weird thing where the document itself is blank but the scroll bar is still there and you can highlight the apparently invisible text.

I'm not quite sure what happened to it, I think it might've - oh there's the ER file. That worked.
Hmm.
Maybe it converted the text in the word document into html code or something? Me no know.

Uh. Anyone else having trouble downloading the ER file? I've been trying for like 2 hours and all I got was a massive blob of distorted characters and another file I've been working on seemingly get wiped clean for no reason.

No, don't vote now. Nostalgia is at it's peak. give it some time. Let everyone's estrogen levels return to normal.

Please, however, include a link to the ending in the OP or somewhere like that, so that it remains easily accessible if we keep yammering on here in this thread for some time to come.
Don't want that buried.

I like the name of the city, by the way. It was well done. Mesenchyme. Beautiful in it's own way, but with a clever and appropriate meaning as well.

Piecewise, you are not bad at endings. You are bad at late game. Climax is your weakness, not denouement.

This is true. Though I wouldn't exactly say climax, because Piecewise is really good at those moments when the action peaks and/or shit goes horribly wrong. See every -9 incident ever. It's like you said, lategame, when things just kinda drag on at times, when piecewise seems to get a bit bored with it on occasion. Not that I blame him at all, I couldn't even get that far on my own.

ER Episode II: Steve vs. Xan?

I'm certainly all for that one, since I apparently get the tickets to the front row on the villain side.

Edit: Hi, Xan! I'm happy at least your godhood ascension plan worked, and I was able to help it despite everything.

Hey, ours is the realm of unfettered expansion

I like to think that Xan and Maurice would have been friends, as much as Xan can be friends with anyone, so I'm glad that he got incorporated into the collective, one way or another.

Yeah, same here. Also, I suppose, that way Maurice had fulfilled his wish of recklessly diving into an eldritch being, seeking to acquire some of its power at the risk of losing his own self to said eldritch being. One way or another, that wish has apparently been fulfilled to the letter.

I'm a little sad I couldn't bring yet another kind of eldritch power to our table, but hey, "seeking out the equipment ..." sounds to me a bit like the collective (one way or another) inheriting the desire for 'yet more eldritch power'. Or 'yet more scientific progress', which is basically the same thing...

Hey, Xan's ultimate goal lies entirely in the realm of the eldritch, since he plans on becoming omnipresent in every possible universe at the end of it all, written into the very fabric of reality itself. There's no doubt the two of them are happily collaborating on various heinous shit.

That said, I enjoy how PW managed to make Xan into basically the perfect excuse villain. Any random evil science project happening and you can't be assed to make up a villain? Xan did it. Pirates acting all mysterious and only raiding certain things? Xan did it. Any activity at all could have him at its heart - hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he's entrenched himself in the Guiding Hand to some degree.

A nice little setting ended up being born from all our collective labor!

That was about everything I could've asked for.

Funny enough, now not even I know what Xan's goals are now that he's a faction unto himself. His entire psychology throughout the game was devoted to achieving the goal he got. What he'll do now is only for eternity to know.

I'm glad I could participate in this. It's been something that's heavily shaped the way I develop characters, write, and everything in between. It's been a blast, to put it simply.

Given the sheer scope of my ambition and the rather ... unique way my dice behave, it's nigh impossible for me to predict what my epilogue will end up giving for me. Likely either feast or famine, I'd say.

Huh. That ... doesn't really make sense.

Sucks for losing the mods, I was just about to get back into Dragon Age.
