I got the zonaite armor set but haven't tested how much it reduces battery consumption yet

I've used just the helmet and it's been significant.

Pfft Varra will fight you

Time to cap off the list

I love Hal Jordan!

Susie is a brat.

:)

Susie is the third character. Hal and Waller are the mains.

But Hal is the fan favorite

How is Hal an underdog?

Guy is an absolute mess. Nothing better than the panel where he says "... Again?" He's somewhat bullied by the Corps members, but the other Earth Lanterns out up with him because they know him and can trust him. And his telepathic barkeep likes him because he is a genuine and honest guy, even if that means he is outwardly a jerk.

Dealing with Guy as the party is... Tough in ways, but easy in that he's a Lantern we can feel superior to. Morally and with manners - he's Guy. Batman knocked him out with one punch. So he's kind of a joke, but that also makes it easy to be around him, to compare to him, and to find a place.

We haven't seen much of Guy in action, but I'm looking forward to it. That's what we're missing right now - the right opportunity to take Guy seriously.

Too low!

I love Starsa. She's been through so many twists and turns. She was really becoming someone her own, then had to deal with the whole existential dread, then got reinvigorated with Love...

There's still potential for her to develop on her own with her own sentience, and I have faith we can get there. Just have to navigate the minefields along the way.

Mines such as her finding out about Hal and Saoirse...

I think Bobo qualifies as a meta. He's got invulnerability and super strength.

Big highlights until now were:

New game from the Journey team

You mean the Flower team.

Wow, Bobo so low.

I can't believe Scar would lie about him being number 1 for so long.

Saoirse was a rambunctious girl with a passion for nature and biology. There's a world where her natural anti-establishment sensibilities coincide with the path that Catman has taken. He thrived in No Man's Land, a world without rules beyond the Darwinian laws of the jungle, and I think that makes him this sort of pure, noble soul to Saoirse in that his axes to grind are largely the same as hers. He wants no part in the societal structures of iniquity and control. And he's a primal thing, a bestial creature of sorts, but with a thinking mind. Catman possesses all of the traits of someone who can philosophize, though he often does not - and he certainly doesn't grandstand. He's entirely comfortable as himself, and I think that confidence is somewhat alluring to Saoirse as well.

Yeah, that's an apt read.

I think Catman very much represents an extreme of "her choice" when she was around 18. In some ways, he gives her space to be that more innocent girl again, in spite of the not-so-innocent subjects they discuss and display.

Catman has been a fun relationship to develop. At first, just played his fitness for kicks, but Saoirse's background in biology felt like an appropriate avenue to enter into more serious discussion. And Saoirse has some of her own demons to share.

I'm not completely sure what Catman thinks of Saoirse at the moment, but I like to think he recognizes that she cares about nature and a better world, as well as one's freedom to do what they wish. They're sympatico in that sense, though I'm sure you could explain it better, Scar.

Morro is a real oddball. It's interesting to have a Lantern so afraid of being around people, when overcoming great fear is a Lantern's deal. Though I suppose he demonstrates he can through the RP with Data 7.

Data 7 recently gave Pixie a smooch, but just one.

Sir!

Left out is that Pixie and Saoirse model together.

Tubthumping by Chumbawumba and then Saoirse thoughtlaced a flying Chumbawumba playing Tubthumping

So Iolande was just this stuck-up bitch when we first met her, who was like "Ugh, Terrans. I must lower myself to ask you to accompany me to Korugar to find my partner since the Guardians won't give me any help with it."

Brennus and Saoirse went to talk to her once, and she still came across as full-of-herself. Then again, Brennus is the prince of a dead country so he never really did anything princely ever or knew how to hold the title much, and Saoirse was "princess" of a magical realm except she turned it down awhile ago so she was Princess in potential only, and also the realm is dead. So Iolande, princess of a planet for 3 years at that point really had a leg to stand on.

Saoirse's early interactions with Iolande were kind of rude. Maybe even mean. She found a way to listen to Iolande talk within her position, and to say her own things and listen on in a way that was dismissive of this hoity-toity princess, where Saoirse was sarcastically being insulting at times. I think one of those early lines Iolande said was "this tomato is bursting at the seams with flavor". And I think Saoirse sort of lost it at that time, like - "wow, this is the small-talk I get?"

What changed was when Saoirse realized she was being genuine - she was amazed by the tomato's flavor. And Saoirse saw that Iolande wasn't a stuck-up princess - she was a dutiful princess who took the office seriously. She wasn't stuck-up - she was actually ashamed to be partaking in flavorful meals with Saoirse while her people had little. Duty was a very serious thing. And Saoirse, Irish national who went punk in a post-marriage retaliation of her life, found a royal who she could listen to, who she could believe in. Just like Waller, but with Waller, it's because Waller perfectly knows how to handle Saoirse and give her a long leash and self-determination.

So Saoirse and Iolande began to develop - Saoirse providing something Iolande hasn't really had - a friend. A chance to just be a girl for a bit. And Saoirse, opening herself to the idea that she has leadership potential, a part of her mother she didn't use to want anything to do with, has found somebody to model herself after a bit.

Korugar was an intense four sessions because we found Iolande's brother, AND he was ruling Korugar, AND Brennus and Riev disagreed on a split-second decision to assassinate or save him, AND he cut off Iolande's arm and took her ring... I got to play up perhaps the second most angering thing to Saoirse in the campaign, which was Ragnar's betrayal of Iolande. Yet even then, at the end when she was to kill him - Saoirse convinced her to choose mercy. Betrayal of the position of Princess? Perhaps. But embracing the position of sister.

Saoirse is new to sisterhood (and is probably currently rowing with Traci), but she's learning how to handle that and take it seriously - and seeing Iolande's heart break when she saw Ragnar alive, she couldn't let her go through losing him again. And she listened.

They are two WILDly different girls, from completely different backgrounds and races, but - they bring things out of each other.

But yeah, gonna try out some digs next time. Almost was today but... soon. Soon.

I've more to say later since I have to run, but

I think Iolande is brand new to Maniac and Cody. She missed out on my list because I had barely interacted with her by that point, and she even missed out on the top 52 ranking of her introductory period for a similar reason.

However, here she is, at number 13 of everyone, since my list began.

She's really something special - I'll type up more later, even if the next ranking is Pixie.

What happens next is trying on clothes.

I'll have more to say but I just wanted to say that lol

Patch is so great, I got him in a commission.

Ermine pursuing the Patch voice box in Campaign 1 sat on the quirky side of things, and I wasn't sure where that would fit in in my own realm (I remember a time when Fields took Patch pre-voice box on a walk and Patch got lost! but not very far) and suddenly putting communication with this character would just be new.

However, Saoirse always could speak to him. She's also a biologist and magician, so it's not weird for her so much as super awesome. Having Patch around means she can get insight into an animal's world, and that's a never-ending source of amazement to her.

Patch has managed to fit in other ways, but that's part of what makes him special to her. Him, Data 7... both reasons why it was a conscious decision in this campaign for her to eat vegetarian.

I'm not even remotely a Korok hunter (like I mentioned earlier, I think I'd legitimately go insane making them any kind of priority) but so far I almost feel like I'm finding less in TotK that aren't the backpack ones. For reference I'm almost done with Central Hyrule and the Rito area and have thus far collected ~30 seeds, a solid majority of which are from backpackers. Not sure if it's whether I just don't remember what to look for (or if what to look for has changed) but I feel like by the end of BotW if I said "oh, there's probably a Korok there" it was usually true but here I usually don't find anything.

Major sticking out points usually still have them. Every single bridge has one or two. Tops of mountains and such have them. Lots of water has them in some way. Any sort of tunnel usually has them.

At the very least, you can usually spot the stuff from a distance.

Scandal is endlessly fascinating. I think she's been consistently a figure in great scenes, and I'm curious to see how this "rivalry" between her and Bane continues.

Also to see if she and Minerva have a clean break or not.

And now with Vandal in the picture, she may have an even bigger role with regards to other portions of the campaign.

According to my list, it's time to start guessing Pixie.

Oh, and Kid Eternity marks a SECOND character drafted at their exact ranked position.

Next one is Scandal

I think Zoe has the potential to go even higher than this.

I had Zoe a little higher on my guesses - just behind Deadshot. So following that, Deadshot could be next.

But I'm still guessing Scandal dog.

Ive stared so hard at multiple groups of trees trying to figure out if they were a puzzle

so far they have not been a puzzle, or, if they are, Im not figuring them out

They're not puzzles.

Two full areas and I haven't seen groupings of trees be used like that for koroks.

Like i said, I think koroks are a lot easier this game. They're not tucked away in hidden spots - they tend to be in really obvious spots. And you can see most of them by flying around after recalling a sky rock up then flying around.

For comparison, the two areas I posted probably took... Maybe not twice, but 1.5x as long when I played BotW to get through.

Easiest thing to miss so far is leaf piles, but they're usually tucked away in clear spots in buildings so

Jack is also going to assist me in getting a flying broom so really he's 10 places too low.

Scandal savage

At some point, she'll drop.

Jack is great. Good to have an NPC that's easy to get along with.

Guessing Scandal. Always.

I've said it before, but it'll be curious to see how Canary slides in when we're already so established with Checkmate.

And now we have Zatanna back!

I enjoy exploring! And koroks are way easier to find in this game than in BotW

This is all I've explored so far in the game (on the surface). Just finished up Hyrule Ridge/Tabantha (whatever the right term is for the western region).

Up to 157 Koroks!

Though Black Canary was 19 I'm what I submitted to War

No, I'm cheating dog!

Still guessing Scandal.
