Hah! As if any time spend adjusting for trout based weather changes could deminish the long term benefits of rapid XP generation!
Look on the bright side! We know that no matter how far we go Ivory will be willing to stand with us.
We don't know a lot at all about the Age of Glories. There isn't really a metaphysical reason it wouldn't work.
It is Uly trying to remember how he was as Odyssial at the height of his power. Greatness 10, Heartlessness 10 Odyssial. Someone that would do anything to archive his goals. It leads to Uly thinking that he is finally free from "all distraction, all mental impurities, all the fleeting and purposeless stimuli that constantly assail the mind". These things are, in case you didn't notice: everything else he remotely cares about, including all his human emotions. If you think someone that considers emotions, attachment and friends as useless distractions and impurities isn't an inhuman monster, I really can't help you. It is simply not remotely human to mono-focus on a singular purpose to the detriment of all other priorities, and what is a human that abandons his humanity but a monster?
This has been tried before. It either doesn't work, or partially works, but results in the creation of a Liminal Exalt, who is not the person you were trying to bring back.
Working on that. Omake incoming with Limit Break fun continuing, followed by reasons and plans for staying in Luseng for at least a till we have solved its most immediate issues, followed by the plan to return to it if we leave.
That only creates a Liminal if you try bringing back the dead to life. Twisting an already living person into being identical to their prior life is something completely different.
Because why would the Primordials bother to implementing something like that into the soul recycling system they set up when one human is as good as any other to them as long as their prayer engines keep the juice flowing? (and if humans didn't need to fear death than they'd pray less)
How do the Primordals need to do anything to allow for the implementation of that? It is easily possible to change a mortal body with sorcerous workings and it is equally easy to give someone memories. The Primordals would need to implement a dedicated system to prevent this method from working.
This is the fault of limit break. I am not advocating thinking like this. In case you did not notice.
So you agree that Uly in Limit Break is a monster? Then how can you vote to stay a monster any longer than necessarily?
The language you use in this instance is telling; I'm worried that we'll care more about how useful our friends are than the fact that they're our friends, dammit, and empowering and defending them should be important to us. The idea that Embracing Clarity will lead to us becoming a robot who will discard all attachments is a strawman, but it's one grown from a kernel of truth; we will prioritize getting stronger over them if we take this option.
I can certainly see that Ulyssian
My bad, I misread what you were saying.
Oh, I am sure the player base will not allow this to happen. We are unlikely to drop social interaction options completely.
Yes, that was the strawman that I addressed in my post. The very real concern, however, is that Ulyssian will subordinate all other aspects of his life in favor of gaining power. Nobody's saying he'll abandon them entirely at the outset, but this is the first step down a slope so steep and slippery that it might as well be a cliff.
