I love this mod
Like, I seriously love this mod. Let me go on Google Translate and translate something really quick.
Ich lieben diesen mod
There German should help express my love for this mod.
It's probably broken German since it's Google Translate but eh.
Anyway, enough of that recurring joke. Amber's dying right in front of Sir BoinkGeminid, and I'm not doing anything to save her. I wasn't totally expecting that much gore in here, I guess it's another surprise that the mod developer's been hiding and was waiting for it to be revealed here. I really shouldn't be surprised but I am. I mean did you see the level of detail that the mod developer put in that torn arm!?
Holy shit! That's like some Mortal Kombat level of detail right there, no scratch that, I'd dare say it is better that the gore shown in Mortal Kombat; it's extremely realistic! If the mod developer's aim is to make this mod extremely gory while keeping its fantasy aspect, then he surely succeeded in that department. It made me wince when Amber's arm got torn off, when you feel something for a particular character you know the developers put in a good amount of time and effort into their work! And the voice acting! MY GOD, IT WAS SO GOOD! Whoever voiced Amber did a really good job as well! Hats off to that woman's throat for taking one for the team!
Oh yeah, Amber's dying. Oops.
I pressed 'W' on my keyboard and made Sir BoinkGeminid float down. When he touched the ground, I guided him so that he would be right standing above Amber. She looked terrible, again, I cannot stress this enough, looking at her made me feel bad for pitting her up against the Eye of Cthulhu. Then again, watching the whole battle from above was also a spectacle to behold. She's definitely a companion that I would keep for a while. Of course, since I made that decision, I cannot have my companion dying on me and with one arm lesser.
Fortunately, the accessories that I gave her was stopping her from bleeding out completely. Thank god for the Ankh Shield. I opened Sir BoinkGeminid's inventory and took out one Super Healing Potion. I aimed the cursor at Amber which prompted her entire figure to be highlighted yellow and right clicked. A small animation sequence would come up; my character, kneeled down and made the unconscious Amber sit up right, afterwards he took out the Super Healing Potion, placed it under Amber's lips and tilted upwards.
Only for the contents to spill out of her mouth.
I was confused for a second before a pop-up window appeared which blurred the animation sequence behind the window.
Due to Amber Autumn's unconscious state, she is unable to drink the Super Healing Potion.
A. Feed her the potion, mouth to mouth
B. CHUG CHUG CHUG
C. Let her die
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Option A
I love how the mod developer still remembered the affinity system.
I watched with a face that looked exactly like Lenny. Sir BoinkGeminid drank the contents of the bottle which I find a little weird since the Nebula Armour makes it look like he doesn't have a mouth and he's just dumping the lifesaving potion on to his face. Once the bottle was empty, he brought his face closer and started mouth feeding, or in this case, mouth drinking Amber the Super Healing Potion. As this long 'kiss' scene was taking place, I watched with complete interest at how Amber's arm grew back; the first thing that grew was the bone, followed by nerves and arteries, then the red tissues which formed the muscles and finally, the dark skin that she had.
Again, highly impressed with the level of detail that the mod developer put in. The scene cut to a close up shot of Amber slightly opening her eyes then when she finally noticed it her eyes snapped open, an obvious heavy blush appeared on her cheeks. Sir BoinkGeminid backed his head away slowly but Amber was on the opposite side of the spectrum as she backed away as fast as she could. The fatigue that she had after the battle with the Eye of Cthulhu was all gone and was replaced with complete embarrassment.
"W-W-W-Why d-d-did you-," she stuttered.
A. "I can explain if you would let me."
B. "You weren't swallowing the Super Healing Potion, I was merely helped you."
C. "So childish. Don't misunderstand, you were dying, and it'd be bothersome if you died."
D. "C'mere sweet cheeks. MWAH MWAH MWAH!'
Option B
"You weren't swallowing the Super Healing Potion, I was merely helping you," Sir BoinkGeminid explained.
"Super Healing… Potion?" Amber's face changed from embarrassment to confusion.
Sir BoinkGeminid nodded, "A powerful potion that can fix any problems including dismembered limbs. Take a look at your arm,"
Amber looked down and to her astonishment, she could see her arm attached back to her body, her diamond robe was ripped since the Eye of Cthulhu took some of it along with her arm. There was a look of disbelief but at the same time she looked uncomfortable.
"I-I don't understand," Amber met Sir BoinkGeminid's eyes with confusion, the earlier embarrassment was gone. "Why would you waste something so powerful to me?"
A. "You are strong, and a nice companion to have by my side."
B. "You're important to me now. Let's keep it at that."
C. "You're misunderstanding, I still have some use for you."
D. "No one will cook marshmallows for me."
Eh… ah fuck it, might as well let this sail. Option B.
Sir BoinkGeminid turned around – and I kid you not I've never laughed this hard – the Nebula robe swayed to the wind making it look like something from an edgy anime episode the only thing missing is the Sakura petals flowing in the background except that was replaced with ashes from burned buildings. Sir BoinkGeminid's face looked to the side, revealing a half shot of his face and spoke with his epic voice.
"You're important to me now. Let's keep it at that."
pfft-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ow… my sides…
Once I had my laughing under control, I saw a window popped up.
Amber Autumn
Affinity
100/100
Congratulations, you have achieved maximum affinity for Amber Autumn. New dialogue will now appear when you interact with Amber Autumn. Amber Autumn will now do special moves that was previously locked.
Well… would you look at that. Despite the hilarious anime style high school romance, it seems like it was worth it! Now time to test these 'special moves' the next time a boss shows up. With all of that settled, time to bounce out of this place.
…
Or maybe not. Looks like there is a notification on the lower right of my screen. I pressed 'esc', opening Sir BoinkGeminid's inventory. Moving my mouse to the lower right of the screen, it was a quest! Huh… how about that. After skimming through the quest details, it was basically telling me that the mayor of this village died, and it is now up to Sir BoinkGeminid to rebuild the entire village. And the reward is certainly nice; complete affiliation with the village!
Alright, let's do this quest!
First off, thank the mod developer for making building so much easier. Like I said, the building in this game is different compared to vanilla Terraria; instead of building what you want block by block, the mod developer instead used pre-set buildings which already looked nice to the players like me who don't really build a lot. It works similarly to when your character is near a crafting furniture but instead of placing down a crafting bench or an anvil, your character can hold on any block and it will display the structures that it can build. And for this particular quest, there was a quest only building: 'Village'
It required a fair amount of wood, stone, glass, some bookshelves, beds and furniture. Right. Time to get to work. First and foremost, I brought out my money trough. The summoned piggy bank with wings was downright adorable, its squishy cheeks and that cute snort that it did when it spawned was just…HNNGG! Interacting with the piggy bank opened its contents which contained building materials and bars. I keep all of my duplicated platinum in my safe back at vanilla Terraria. Taking what I wanted and crafting a workbench and sawmill to make the beds and furniture. Once that was done, I looked to the side of the screen to see the 'Village' buildable light up, signifying that it was ready to be built I clicked on it.
My screen immediately turned blue which made me think about the blue screen of death for a split second before realizing that it was just the outline showing me where I should build the village. Unfortunately, there only seems to be one spot that I could place it on. It was a fixed spot: the centre of the village, meaning the fountain which acts as the centre of the village. I fixed my cursor to the fountain which changed the outline of the entire village to go green. I left clicked and watched as the building took place.
I could see all of the building blocks and furniture in Sir BoinkGeminid's inventory trickle down as the place was being built. The building sequence was reasonable, building blocks would disappear from Sir BoinkGeminid's inventory and reappear, floating before attaching itself on the specified location it was assigned on. The entire build process took a solid minute which I took to look at Amber's awed face. The process didn't take too long since the Eye of Cthulhu didn't really destroy the whole village, just half of it.
When the build process was done, I received a window.
Congratulations! You've completely repaired the village, because of this, the village is now affiliated with you. Would you like to rename this village? (This can be changed later on)
(Yes) (No)
Ooh, I can manage my own village! The mod developer definitely wanted to pile up as many genres in his mod as possible, which I respect. I'm just worried that it might be too much or that it might be overwhelming to me. Then again, these game functions are introduced to me slowly. The function of companions, quests, affinity and other concepts were introduced rather slowly which I don't mind.
I hovered my mouse over to the 'yes' option and clicked on it. A window popped up asking me what the name of the village will be. After a minute of thinking I made my decision.
Name: sdfkjg hareighsfjhgzlxdkfgjhanleih
Perfect
CAPTAIN! THE SHIP HAS SAILED! I REPEAT, THE SHIP HAS SAILED!
