The beauty of it is, Chromie could’ve reasonably been any of those places, and the best part is, she usually doesn’t even remember where and when she’s been!
Also, permission for these statements to be stricken from the record, I 200% DID NOT frame Chromie…
Ya those are insanely hit or miss. And mostly a miss.
In Assassin’s Creed, where you’re playing through the supposed memories of ancestors, the mechanism they go with is that death is actually “desynchronization” from the memory. If you lose a fight you were meant to win, the memory breaks because that’s not what happened.
It’s a game.
Just play Assassin’s Creed.
You don’t die, you desynchronize and have to try again
Nice. How does my brain look?
Whoa now, I used Assassin’s Creed as an example of how one game handled it, but let’s not get crazy here. I wouldn’t advise anyone to play those games now.
I mean, maybe the Ezio ones still hold up. And the pirate one. Not sure much of anything else in the series is worthwhile.
gameplay purposes. i know i’d rather take control of whats being shown with ingame models than afk at the quest giver for 5 minutes
Origins and Odessey were okay.
But my point was that “dying in a memory” in WoW is probably akin to the desynchronization in an assassin’s creed game.
You ever see Ice Age?
“Did you die?”
“Sadly, yes… but I survived!”
It’s way too bright in here, and there’s an unread instruction manual for spacecraft maneuvering in your subconscious. Also a miniature version of Velen scrawling: “Note to self, Path of Glory made of Orcs!” on all the walls.
