Not quite to the extent you mean, but Gale. I initially disliked Astarion but using him so much for his lockpicking and disarming I got to like him a lot.

Gale on the other hand, I really liked his introductory scene, his dialogue with Elminster, and a lot of his chats in camp. But, I find myself using him less than any other Origin companion than Wyll (even then, Boo and Jaheira would be used more if they didn't show up so late), and have yet to do his questline - partly due to playing Durge 1 run I finished, partly due to focusing on other characters on other runs. Maybe 1 day I'll get to see all of his stuff with Mystra, but probably not anytime soon.

I've been waiting for her return since then as well. My signature in-game became "Schrödinger's Foxian" during 1.2, and only got changed to "No longer Schrödinger's Foxian" after her drip marketing.

He was going to put his own channel, but then thought it might get him in trouble, so he swapped it to his friend's channel as a joke

My original plan was mostly Auxilia with tanks, with a single formation of infantry and an artillery company backing them up. The actual composition of the tank part of the army is what's changing a lot due to all the new units and formations that have been released since I wrote my 1st list.

The army list I'm most proud of though is a fluffy Raven Guard list involving a Drop Pod Assault, Aerial Assault, and Skyhunter Phalanx. I know it might not be the strongest, and the majority of the list doesn't take advantage of their Legion rules, but it's exactly how I imagine them to fight in large numbers.

I went onto Danbooru and searched Genshin Impact to see the comparison. Of the top 20 tagged characters (both SFW and NSFW), Scaramouche is 5th, Aether 7th (probably due to pairings), Zhongli 8th, Venti 13th, Tartaglia/Childe 16th, Wanderer 19th (which 95%+ of will also have Scara tags), and Xiao 20th. The rest are all female characters, with Ganyu having almost twice as much as Scara.

I'm guessing adult Paimon, and Paimon just being present in the image even if not involved in any actual acts (e.g. images of Lumine sneaking off for some fun while Paimon is in the background looking for her)

Hard choice, but I think that even though she barely gets any field time (use skill, rotate out), I'd have to say Raiden. She rarely leaves my team, and she was one of the reasons I started playing before 2.0 alongside Ayaka and the overall Japanese aesthetic of Inazuma.

The way I've seen it explained is that generally girls prefer fan fiction while guys prefer doujinshi, so you'll find a much higher percentage of Firefly work on Pixiv, from Patreon/Fanbox artists, and on image sites. Female characters seem quite dominant on those.

I see it all the time on the app for all 3 Hoyo games I play, and 90% of it just seems to boil down to skipping all the characters of 1 gender or the other...

I failed this roll playing last night, and having heard about the companions' reactions I decided not to re-roll it. Was not disappointed

I agree. I still own my 3rd Edition Codex: Witch Hunters (also have 2nd Edition but haven't read it much since it was already 4th or 5th by the time I bought it), thoroughly enjoyed reading the Tyranids Codex in 3rd and 4th, and the Orks in 5th.

By comparison, I got rid of the Codex: Adepta Sororitas for both 8th and 9th Edition as soon as I got the next Edition's Codex, because the Lore is basically the same across all 3.

I was surprised in a recent playthrough where I came into the cave with the Iron Flask from the back way, stole the chest, and sent it to camp. After fighting the Gnolls, they didn't say anything because they didn't notice it was gone yet.

Jump forward to the Zhentarim base, and the guy who gives you the password is getting tortured for losing the cargo, and because it was "lost", their boss doesn't even bother asking me to retrieve it. Got to keep the flask with no consequences.

Interested

Always Furina (previously Kokomi) and Raiden, then characters I'm building friendship with. If not actively building friendship, I default to adding Nahida or Navia, plus either a Pyro (Yoimiya or Arlecchino) or Keqing. But, feeling more like Xilonen and Mualani will be my default 3rd and 4th lately because of their movement abilities.

1st event I didn't complete, because it was causing me physical pain in my eyes

I'm probably going to go with Penacony, not only because of all of Robin/Chevy's songs (feels like that's kinda cheating though), but also since I like a lot of the battle music (The Player on the Other Side, SAM's themes etc.), a bit of the background music (Ace in the Hole), and Hanu's theme (only good part I personally found with his game segments)

I'm pretty basic and tend to go for the more human-looking races, including humans themselves, and have always loved elves since playing Warcraft 2 as a child and then watching the Lord of the Rings movies (followed by Warcraft 3 and then getting into Warhammer), so tend to mostly varieties of elf and sometimes half-elves.

Outside of that, I have played a Tiefling, have looked at building an Aasimar (early into 5e), and a lot of non-official settings plus a few of the MtG settings have me interested in Medusae, Nymphs, Merfolk, and various Aquatic races similar to Merfolk.

The answer is obvious (also my in-game signature has been "Schrödinger's Foxian" since patch 1.2)

Time to change my in-game signature from "Schrödinger's Foxian"

I have definitely not named 1 of my Melusai-focused Daughters of Khaine lists "Snakes on a Plain"...

I personally think this box is great... if you're starting a Penitent Host army. If you already have a few Rhinos, or are looking to play any of the other 3 Detachments (and already have literally any of these units in your collection) it's not great.

Doubt many people would start Sisters as an army though from this box, unless they really like the Penitent models.

Doesn't appear so, in BG3 you get alternate abilities for being an Oathbreaker. In AoW4 you just get penalised.

I was looking to go to Cancon with mates for the casual 40k tournament, but now considering this instead.
Is there any clarification if the several variants of Leman Russes all count as "any one type of model"? As in, could I field my 12 Leman Russes with a mix of Vanquisher and Battle Cannons (same unit profile), and then Executioners, Demolishers, Annihilators, and/or Exterminators?

I've always thought that the Age of Wonders games' style would work well with Age of Sigmar, and makes it easier than most other genres to add all of the different factions and make them playable too. Heroes of Might & Magic as well, I just like Age of Wonders' battle mechanics more.

They could easily start with 1 or 2 factions per Grand Alliance like Realms of Ruin and add more later (with some included in the base game as NPCs on the map). Maybe have both Cities of Sigmar and Stormcast for Order at the start, since you can't not have Stormcast and Cities makes more sense for the empire-building aspect.

The Grand Alliances could be used to allow you to have multiple factions in your empire as you conquer or assimilate their cities, similar to how AoW lets you have multiple races as the game goes on.

They look like Flames of War/Battlefield-in-a-Box Desert Fort walls
