I only started playing last year in November, and within that month alone I found a lot of people discussing kings to stud and how long gen = bad and ew. I know this isnt a general consensus for every player, obviously.

But how many people tend to think that? Because ive been up my own ass trying to keep my dynasty a max of G3 before restarting with like, a groupie or something. Atm Im considering kinging a G3 who's very plain, or to king a G6 with at least a few BO to its name.

Alongside with maybe quickly retiring him and repping WITH said G3 cub to keep the gen low and even mut rep.

But I dont know if doing so would be a waste of GB because im overthinking how much dislike there is for long gen kings. I hope this makes sense lmao

Mainly wondering HOW do people achieve this?? I scroll and check out new kings randomly on the home and territory pages, and ill see so many G1 kings with like, 8BO markings, but bases too??

I know people can spruce up kings with RMAs (if they're fucking rich from my experience lmao), but can you just. Apply BOs too?

It just amazes me bc the only BO trait my main has is his goridhe base and thags only because hes a G2. So how do people do it??

I finally tackled the fire screamer fort with Roshani's quest marker, obliterated the damn camp, found Roshani, beat his ass, and now hes just dead. Im still standing right where the marker is but have been given nothing else to do, again Roshani is just dead on yhe ground right next to me.

I traveled a bit too far during exploring anf made it to the Izila homelands, have triggered Batari's temple quest, but have been ignoring it due to not having Roshani yet. Have I just softlocked myself from yhe Izila commander??

Hi so I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about computers. Nothing.

I have a $1500 pre-built Cyberpower C-Series PC from Best Buy i got abt 5yrs ago that works great today. All I really play on it is Guild Wars 2 which is just like a WoW MMORPG, Minecraft, and roblox. Nothing crazy. From what i know, I dont use it to its fullest potential lmao.

Now im hoping to get my roommate a MUCH better PC from the ancient HP they have that doesnt even have an HDMI port to connect to a monitor.

Im hoping to find a cheaper PC that can do as much ss my $1500 one - I've heard bad things abt STGaubron pcs despite their cheap prices, so im wondering if anyone can help?

Id like to apologize now for any of my bullshit, I really mean it when I know nothing abt gaming PCs

I firstly want ro claim that this is NOT!!! intended to be a hate post, and also, I haven't read/listened to Murtagh's book yet.

​

TFA felt very underwhelming. I got it on audible, it was abf 5hrs, I wasn't expecting anything particularly insane like the massive first four books.

​

But it felt very.. unfinished, almost? I haven't read any outside sources or whatever of its writing, this is just a general feeling from me.

​

Murtagh's section of the book, aka the fork, was pretty well balanced id say. I enjoyed seeing Eragon again and how he struggles with dealing with issues upon mount Arngor. No real notes on Murtagh's story. However, two things on Saphira specifically. In the Audible version, she has a completely different voice, and it was disappointing to see how much it changed. Thats a lesser point; mg biggest point is how.. pushed aside she felt? She tells Eragon to stop worrying, which was fine and everything, in character, but she felt so.. plain.

Also, rhe synopsis mentions this is Eragon dealing with "constructing a vast dragonhold, wrangling with suppliers, guarding dragon eggs, dealing with belligerent urgals and haughty elves" i didnt see... any of that? The most we get is a mention of a Dwarf being a pain about shipment supplies from the Beor mountains. The elves and Urgals get nothing? What about them is haughty or belligerent??? Again, I know the book is short. But I was practically salivating for more intensely descriptive and indepth Paolini writing. Its crack to me.

​

The Witch's segment was deceng id say. I really wished we got to see more of Elva rather than whatever shit Angela's general shenanigans are up to. She comes and takes rhe girl to make a good impression on her, help Elva find her place in the world, and by the end of the segment, Eragon mentions Elva looks happier. But we.. got to see none of it. A part of me just expected more focus on that, ot seemed so important when you take into account the things Elva has pulled - SHE MADE AN ELF CRY??? I enjoyed that we got little to no explanation on Angela. But I was hoping for more Elva, not on her own obviously, but through Angela's perspective in her manuscript.

​

Finally, the Worm. The biggest disappointment to me ):

The story was about 2hrs and 20mins, and im sorry, it was a bit of a slog. I love Paolini's writing so much. But the writing here felt like it was without his charm, almost? I compare it to when Eragon and Garzhvrog were traveling to the Beor mountains, and his story about a life lesson i can't entirely remember. Something somwthing, a dam wanted to be beautiful, was granted beauty by a goddess, had to pay back the wish, refused, and had her son stolen to join the goddess' table or something; I think the message was something along the lines of accept what you have. But then this segment about the vicious black dragon was so... long. And drawn out. It felt less like an Urgal retelling this ancient, reverred stroy and more like LITERALLY just another story being written, if that makes sense? Im not listening to a bard tell a story around a fireplace, im reading a book inside another book. Its hard to explain, but it was disappointing when THIS was penned as the "compelling urgal perspective". After the story is over, Saphira finally speaks again and basically iust says "im happy for the Urgal, but also the dragon. Its only right the dragon would win" girl thats it? Thats all you have to say? Ms. Snark tongue?? Again, she feels bland.

​

I lied, bt the way. Below is my biggest disappointment.

At the very end, a dragon egg finally hatches. Everyone rushes inside, elves, Dwarves, urgals, and of course Eragon and Saphira. Everyone's overjoyed, Eragon's hooting and hollering about all his slaving away has finally begun to come to fruition. And then it ends.

We do not see this new hatchling. We do not know what happens to it. We do not know its name.

Maybe we don't NEED to necessarily know, but.. that was it?

It didn't really feel like a payoff. The whole book was stories (which it is literally advertised as), where is all the hard work?? The cuts through here and there, at least to me, dont feel like the establish just how much work went into everything.

When a dragon hatches, I figured it wouldve been a grand celebration at the end, we would see this creature, see JUUUST a bit of how it grows into this new world. A brief but insightful little tidbit. But we got nothing!

Another sidenote: Saphira SAYS NOTHINGGGGG about this achievement. Nothing. You know, i thought she was being so quiet and odd because she was preparing to lay her eggs or something. But she was just- pushed aside, it felt.

​

Again none of this is to shit on or tear down Paolini. I love his books, and my dissatisfaction has led to me restart the original series I JUST finished; this time I want to take notes of what exactly I enjoyed in comparison to TFA. But here's my quersion; does anyone feel similar, in any way? I definitely feel like a black sheep in terms of my opinion, and genuinely id love to see other's thoughts on what I may have missed that made the book a banger.
