Wyll, Scratch and the Owlbear cub taking a short rest~
Oh jesus christ I forgot I have to write a summary
The current mood
Now, planning my own post-game narrative without the structure of the game as a guide may be tricky to make complete and satisfying but, honestly, I am just so glad to be out of realm of writing Act 3 that I barely even feel it.
Act 3 is definitely my least favourite in a lot of ways, especially when it comes to trying to make a narrative out of it. There's so much going on that it just feels impossible to cover it all, so I had to resort to time skips and just covering the bits that'll be relevant later for my own sanity, but then it felt like I was glossing over things and worrying that would make everything feel all disjointed and, ugh.
And act 3 is so loud as well, I got so overstimulated all the time, there's all these people endlessly milling about everywhere and everyone's talking constantly - and those bloody magicians outside Sorcerous Sundries, oh my god, don't even get me started. That's probably why I like Act 2 so much, come to think of it. It's nice and dark and quiet out there, there's no one around but you and your friends unless you intentionally go to a population centre like Last Light. I find it very soothing for an area that was definitely intended to be horrific.
So, yeah, glad to be out of there.
Anyway, back to planning.
I write BG3 fanfic about having a bad time and learning to carry on anyway! It's good fun! And also devastating!
