  • I always enjoyed the story of 2. Origins and 3 both fall for the same story beats aka “You are the Chosen One. Only you can save the World.”

    Origins, you are the last of the Grey Wardens in Felderen. Only you can reunite everyone to stop the Blight.

    3, only you can close the rifts, reunite everyone, and stop the Big Bad guy.

    In 2n Varic actively mocks that in the beginning. Hawke is portrayed as the Chosen One. When challenged, Varic admits that he made it up. Hawke is a nobody in beginning, only kicks start the mage and templar war because of the people that they associated started everything. Cough Anders Cough Hawke really just stumbles from adventure to adventure because of their companions.

    It’s a story about unintended consequences and how small events can lead into big events.

    2’s biggest failure was the over use of the same assets. The is cave/house/ruin is the same layout all the other cave/house/ruin. It was fine when it made narrative sense however that it is only for a minority of the time.









  • Elon is the prefect example of how little actual work a CEO does.

    • CEO of SpaceX - Elon Musk
    • Chairman and CTO of Twitter - Elon Musk
    • CEO of Telsa - Elon Musk
    • President of Musk Foundation - Elon Musk
    • CEO of xAI - Elon Musk

    What does Elon do all day? Be a piece of a shit on Twitter. If CEO work was so demanding, there would be no way Elon would be the CEO of three different companies, chairman of the Board and CTO of one company, and a president of a “charitable” organization.

    Reporting by The New York Times found that in 2022, the Musk Foundation gave away $230 million less than the minimum required by law to maintain tax-deductible status, and that in 2021 and 2022 over half the foundation’s funds went to causes connected to Musk, his family, or his businesses.
