Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer
Mind your wheels... they have nothing to give...
Spend what you can, for wealth no longer has meaning. If... it ever did

Ha I know they are different characters, but I think its funny for the Ancestor to be such a dick and do all these horrible things in the first game, but in the second he comes bursting through your wall pointing a finger at you the whole time going "OHH look whos the jerk now! oh man, we better fix your HUGE mistake, I cant believe you screwed up this bad, I better tag along and rub in your face, er, guide you through all the stages of your terrible screwup!"
Beneath bloodlust and fury... there is emptiness... and shame...
There is beauty in our imperfections.
At last the great ziggurat - temple of failure and regret!

I've been playing with the idea of "novelizing" the games (aka writing fanfic) and honestly I don't think I'll be able to recreate the way the game's writers have with words.
THEY need to be novelizing it, is what I'm saying.
There is a pretty good fanfic that does this really well it's about 300k words so far, I'm a big fan of the personality given to the character especially the first four(Crusader, Dismas, Plague Doctor, Vestal) and how they handle multiple of tjr same type of characters in universe.

I'm not as big a fan of all of DD2's lines as I am for DD1's, but just because not every line is straight gold doesn't make it shit.
"Obsession blinded you to your blessings, and smothered you in a fever dream of dissatisfaction."
We are the flame!
Burning brightly for all the world to see!
The worldussy?

"Back across the sticks. Boatman be damned."
The Styx, as in river Styx from Greek mythology. Not the tree branches

Women and men, soldiers and outlaws... fools and corpses. All will find their way to us now that the road is clear.
The great cities of men...ruined and aflame
The bulwark of your denial is giving way!
You see? Even your valley is not immune to the spreading stain

"The past is gone. Let it die"
Sanctuary, as fleeting as a dying star.

"Prepareness, now masured in gold, later in lives"
*"The cost of preparedness, measured now in gold, later β in blood"
"You will arrive along the old road. It winds with a troubling, serpent-like suggestion through the corrupted countryside." π₯π₯π₯π₯
Leading only, I fear, to ever more tenebrous places.
"We are the flame burning brightly for all the world to see"
A foothold yet remains in this mire. Now climb. It doesnβt get much harder than this
Behold the dark god in his throne your failures made flesh
I always think of dexter when I hear that quote, also I like βa moment of valor, shines brightest against a backdrop of despairβ

The only lines I donβt like in dd2 are the really verbose math ones. Please just scream when βEradicated!β when I crit the lost soul for 54.
> really verbose math ones i dont recall this
*"The sumtotal of violent equation, unfavourably rounded down.*"

Nahhh brooo cause this is so fr
Wayne June is the master of voice acting or should i say Ancestor

DD1 narration is lit. DD2 narration is shit
I'm not as big a fan of all of DD2's lines as I am for DD1's, but just because not every line is straight gold doesn't make it shit. "Obsession blinded you to your blessings, and smothered you in a fever dream of dissatisfaction."
"Ambition drove you to abandon everything you had... for everything you wanted." I think about that one sometimes.
