Master of the Wind

Interesting, I never thought of the possibility that vampirism was actually an artificially created condition. A pretty cruel instrument of warfare, to be honest.
But it's true, even though it's easy to feel sorry for the poor person who just got bitten here, it's hard not to enjoy the irony and a certain sense of poetic justice of this stituation.

Personally, I'm starting to realise more and more how much the music has had an impact on how I feel about certain locations in the game, to an astonishing degree even. Just like in the case of Boreal, the sad and slow music in Rellenia makes it harder for me to appreciate the rest of the content, strangely enough. Even though now that I look at it again, there's a lot of really good NPC dialogue here. Obviously, the silly banter between different people and the Shroud and Stoic fans meeting their heroes are fun. But the more serious conversations, such as with the skeleton, the goblin and the man who complains about people who see Rellenia's ruins as a tourist attraction are pretty impactful and well-written in their own way.

Regarding what you said about your interaction with players and fans, I understand how you feel, though from a different perspective. The Solest forums were the first forums I ever joined, and they're why I initially ended up here. But when I signed up there, the game had already been completed for a while, and I pretty much arrived after the big party was already over. I could only see how much had already happened on the forums before, feeling a bit sad I missed all that. And being a young, unexperienced and impressionable person, I felt hesitant to even interact with you and ArtBane personally for a long time, as I saw you two as way above me. Even now, when you talked about your progress on Legacy and missing the interactions with fans, part of me wanted to just ask you if we should try to team up and help each other out on our game projects. But then I also immediately start thinking you're probably already busy enough without someone like me bothering you, and how would I even be able to help you anyway, and so on.
So yeah, I understand it must be difficult to stay in touch with the players especially after such a long time. But at least you're still doing this LP, which I continue to enjoy a lot.

Also, I can't believe you made that joke about studying abroad.
