      My eyes became wet on that part and I scrolled down the comments cos I was sure someone would mention it.
      To be honest, I didn't even understand the meaning at first. The logic reached me after the emotion. It doesn't matter where the power comes from, but who and how s/he uses it. But can't quite tell why it was so emotional. He said it casually. Words had no power. He didn't do any spectacular gestures while saying it. Yet the emotion it unleashed knocked me down.

      Fjord, the first time he lost his powers, whispering "no no no no no..." to himself, in his normal voice instead of his fake accent, and having a freak-out walk through the town. Just absolutely perfect, and understated, and completely comfortable with his decision for his character. No scenery chewing, no "pay attention to me, this is my scene" - just pure roleplaying in the moment.

      @@kootiepatra im a little late to the discussion, but I'd say he definitely is. In refjored, Caleb and Fjord share a moment before beginning the heist to steal the ring and reminisce about the time Fjord put his place to calebs throat. Fjord apologizes but Caleb quickly dismisses it as if he knows what fjord did was deserved. When Molly died Caleb was only beginning to realize he kind of enjoyed this new thing he had going, but the stress of putting his life on the line to get it back was a little much for him. Now though, that bond is even deeper, Caleb no doubt views them as a family and I think if another Lorenzo situation had happened, there would be no inner struggle whatsoever, just blazing fireballs of revenge.

      Jeff B he should, however now that Travis is speaking for longer stretches in his British accent, I’ve noticed that he can’t always keep the RP accent consistent and sometimes slides into something a little less formal, much the same way as Liam did with Vax, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he went slightly cockney on some words.
      The slight variation in accents worked well for Vax’s character though (and seemed to be a conscious choice, from what I can tell) and it could be that it works well for Fjord too, particularly as he’s spent to long around people with completely different accents, it’s natural he’d be subconsciously affected. (Also I’m not meaning to criticise either Travis or Liam by saying their British accents vary sometimes, obviously they’re both super talented and way better at voices than I could ever hope to be, it’s just an observation).

    • @JB-xl2jc
      @JB-xl2jc 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Suzy Lightning Good point, Cockney is WAY closer to home and would use the harsher non-rhotic “ahr” kinda sound. Speaking as a filthy colonial who has never been to the UK it can be tough to avoid slipping between accents (even though RP and Cockney have pretty pronounced differences). I guess it’s probably like a British person trying to sound like a Southern US accent and slipping into Western US.

      deffdefying I still think this is a weird line of thought. Sure everyone can cast spells (though fjord and nott only barely), but the amount of ridiculous and powerful stuff monks can do shouldn’t lead to thinking of the monk as lesser. I mean, she literally ran up a 300 foot tall tree, stunned enemies at extremely crucial moments, done insane amounts of damage, and so much more over the campaign. Its like making it to the olympics but not getting a medal placement. You aren’t the best of the best, but you made it to the olympics for god’s sake. That alone is a crazy achievement.

I like Beau, but I really never believed that whole “insecure in my power and worth” idea Marisha flirts with at times, simply because of the amount of obvious utility that Beau displays in and out of combat. I feel like Fjord is a better exploration of this idea, mainly because it’s more integral to Fjord’s story. Not a Marisha hater or anything, I’m fully aware she is amazing, just don’t like this and one or two other aspects of Beau.

IDK if we ever really knew if the warlock pact with Uggutoa? was agreed to by Fjord or simply `there` after the shipwreck. I kind of like the idea of a class based around the conscious choice to sacrifice a power rooted in evil that takes a little bit from Paladin, but is more rooted in divine spell based protection/damage reduction and attack rather than the Martial Path.
