New post from Dragons' dogma twitter. It seems we're getting hard mode separately

ingredients were Olive oil Thyme beets onion and Basa catfish

Definitely got less creases once I started using the spray glue + what I assume is the walking foot. My new problem is that Despite everything the diamond shape kinda bunches together(far right on 3rd image)? will this fix once i get past the parts i didn't baste Initially, or is this an entirely different issue?

I learned how to screenshot! lol
But in all seriousness, I still have bad anatomy and shade like a total noob albeit better than when i started. Will I learn anything by just continuing to draw, or will I actually need to learn drawing techniques systematically?
If I need actual individual practice, how do I even learn?

I'm trying to sew a quilted jacket for larping, but the cloth started to roll up get caught as the length expanded. what did i do wrong, and do i have to start over?

Talos is really cool as a concept and has far better execution compared to Lao shan lun from Monster hunter. He just needed actual stakes and better narrative setup to work as a good "set piece boss".
I just think climbing a giant to reach it's weak spots in a set amount of time is a cool concept, especially paired with Dragons' dogmas combat mechanics. I would've enjoyed it more had it actually had stakes and difficultly

Here's my theory!
Basically, the seeker or whoever designed the DD universe made a system that repeats in ORDER to keep balance of the universe. The system is simple, find a guy to run the world(=seneschal). But how does it work?

1. The Dragon

The Dragon represents a supernatural evil. Duh. but why must they be evil? It's because in order to actually give a reason for the chosen arisen to fight. If it's just a job application to eternal deskwork, nobody is signing up. But why would a evil Dragon motivate anybody...?

2. Will

EVERY Arisen you play (at least in base and 2) fights the Dragon in they're respective scenario to save somebody. In 1 it's the sea village, and in 2 it's Ulrika. That's the trigger. You have to try and save someone in order to fight grigori as an arisen. This is already part of the cycles' test, it's Basically personality filter #1.

3 ...and thus only you are able to fight Grigori. The personality test is why Edmunds' castles don't work and why the blue stones in dd2 can control pawns. The power of the arisen comes solely from the personality test in a way!

Here's where i think get's interesting... The stones in dd2 actually could control pawns but can't do shit about Nex (dd2 Dragon). Which is actually proof imo that you are required to be an arisen to actually be "part of the cycle". Pawns are, bluntly put, just pawns. You HAVE to pass test #1 to be apart of the cycle

4 the choice.
Aka personality filter #2. You're Basically tested once more, that you aren't corrupted by power(=arisen stat boost). what better way than saying "hey here's a get out of the contract + becoming king card... at the cost of Fournival?"(in the case of dd arisens. might change per in universe char since this is basd on Dragonforged dialogue)
This is basically conformed in the ring quest in dd1 if you pay attention to Dragonforged's dialogue. he literally says it's a test/challenge of a sort. (the beloved).

5 choice pt2
It also doubles as a check that you're still willing to put your life on the line for others. Dragonforged says he "discarded" is love and thus lost to the Dragon and becomes Dragonforged (=just fighting from duty).On the other hand, he says the test (=beloved) may give strength to the arisen or be his weakness. the later is when Edmund caves in and becomes duke, and former is Canon player arisen

6 Dragon fight
this is pretty straightforward. it's testing if you actually prepared.

7seneschal
here's where it's weird, but it still tracks. Basically you have to wrangle the current seneschal after everfall to prove you want to solve the worlds issue (=post Dragon fallout). in dd2 this doesn't happen as instead seeker wants you to be king. Since seneschal/Savan is an ex arisen who beat the personality tests and the test of might, you're Basically just fighting to determine who's better stock (and since you already beat the previous Dragon and know the rules, you become a Dragon if you lose to choose and guide future arisens)

That's my reasoning to my theory! thanks for reading my rant of a upjumped zealot, and comment you guys's take on it!
