was looking at the wait list (that was just 1 person long) and since you cannot say things are nice and calm or they kill you I said “I really like what im seeing right now” just as a nurse bent over and it was so awkward. she looked SO mad
finished pandaemonium. it was very nice. i also cannot stop taking screenshots of the catboy
So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.) Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.
If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results:
- What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)
- What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)
- What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)
- Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory)
- What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.)
- Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)
- Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)
- Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)
- What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.)
- What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.)

latam expansion but watch it be just mexico

just my onion you know but the more time passes the more annoyed I get at how rushed endwalker was. even the very emotional moments they managed to build were wasted when the post-msq patches went nowhere… if this was going to be the case it would have been better to just. slow down. make it two patches, even if it turned out to be mild the playerbase would have felt more commited to the story at least
