      Given how vocally talented she is I would be so down for Laura playing a bard in Campaign 4! If you're in need of any good bard related content then I recommend the video 'Bards: The Most Misunderstood Class' by Jess of the Shire.

    • @psycofire93
      @psycofire93 2 месяца назад +92

      Honestly I'd be down for literally any of them to play a bard, especially Liam since he ended up being sick during the 1 shot where he was going to play a bard for Red Nose Day. Sam's made all of them come out of their shell with singing and Laura especially since doing the Daughter of the Sea for WoW, it would be so sick. But a school of tragedy Liam bard????? I need it

    I love the idea of Classes in this game not necessarily being separate from each other, but more of a blend of talents. The shared domain system not only makes it easy to recognize what classes are good at and capable of, but the way it is set up will make any future classes/homebrew really easy to make.
    Midnight and Blade can come together to make a true assassin class, who may not be good at talking to people like the rogue, but is particularily good at cutting people up from the shadows.
    Grace and Valor could produce a Paladin, taking the talkative aspects of Bards and mixing them with the majestic tankiness of Seraphs
    With 8 domains, there are so many additional combinations that can be done. I can't wait to see where this goes.

      The new music is cool, but I haven't realized how much I missed the old soundtrack until Twin Elms started playing!
      I think it may actually be more difficult for me to focus on the C3 episodes because the soundtrack is effectively elevator music - it's quieter and less memorable. When I think back to important moments of C3, I have ZERO memory of the music. For C1 and C2 I have a much more vivid picture, because the music is there and it connects with the scene.

    So far, and I've been tinkering with character creation as I don't have a group to start with. But from character creation, I really hope they keep leaning into the card/domain system. But I really love that while they're thematic in their abilities, they leave a lot of the fluff around it open to interpretation. I hope that keeps up, so we can still have the mechanics of these abilities, but RP them in any way we want, so a "Guardian" doesn't have to be a holy Paladin, they could be a knight with arcane magics, or a thief doesn't have to be cunning and charismatic, but he can be psychic and charming his targets with magic/psychic powers, etc. Lot of really cool mechanics for thematic classes while letting us dictate the cool fluff around them. I'm really enjoying the potential of the system so far.
