9028242 A species that does have to deal with other races such as minotaurs, dragons and diamond dogs, most of which are bipedal (Dragons seemingly in their youth rather than their majority). If they constantly put every possible criminal in a cage, I'd imagine they'd quickly become a major target for their mistreatment of sapient species by a few other civilizations. That's not even mentioning the fact that they "jailed" him even after they saw him helping them.
As for your last bit. Not entirely sure what the meaning is from your words in that last sentence, but I'll take a shot in the dark and assume it goes a little something like "People don't always do the smart thing". If that is the case, might I point out that this is a ruler who has been around for multiple millennia. I know that as a regular person an author can only do so much. But it just seems very unlikely that this is one of those "one in a million" times where she flubs it up simply because she missed some sleep or wasn't thinking properly.
9028404 ... while you're not wrong, that's not what I meant.
That said, it's after 1 am on my end and, and I'll soon start losing the capacity for rational thought to continue this argument properly, so let's just leave it as a differing perspective on a theoretical alternative.
9028404 Please bear in mind that I don't fully know how to accurately portray canon characters, and what they would do in any given situation. I'm learning as I go.
So I’m thoroughly enjoying this story so far, no questions...buuuuut question. If it’s been established that he stores his cards in his pip-boy inventory and HAS a pip-boy inventory...why not just store his weapons there instead of turning them over? Yeah yeah I get...plot armor and the story and all. I’ll drop a little advice here, like I said so far a kick ass story, super fun, totally enjoying it. But I see a reoccurring theme and problem a lot of authors have on doing video game crossovers, and that’s that they tend to forget that they have to drop some of video game mechanics. By that I mean like, to start we have to assume that both parts of the cross over exist in some non fictional (fictional) environment and at least have to operate on some sort of “real world mechanics”. Like if fallout was real, there probably WOULDNT be some pocket dimension pip-boy inventory that allows you to hold 20 guns in it. Or VATS...that probably wouldn’t exist in a real world fallout. That’s just for us playing a video game. I see some fallout crossovers that have scenes like “and then I pulled a mini gun out of my inventory and unloaded on the manticore after dropping into VATS for a headshot. Then I pulled out my fatman launcher and destroyed the channeling hive!” Things like that are kind of...eye rolling. Fun...but eye rolling. I find a lot of the better stories tend to keep things more real, like main character only has 3 weapons max and limited ammo and relies on other in story methods to procure more. Limit his items to what what one ACTUAL human could carry. Like a good scenario example would be a laser rifle...maybe 5 MFC cells on his belt but then discovers how to work with pony magic to recharge them...because magic exists in the “real world” equestria. Or has to figure out how to manufacture some more powder ammo and brass for bullet weapons via current equestrian technology. I feel like stories that stick to a more “realistic” approach tend to just be better and get developed better. And by that I don’t mean just go directly from “I need more cells” to “I’ll just magically recharge them”. Make them work for it, figure it out a little, trial and error. Pretend it’s real and you REALLY have to figure it out. It makes for good story and development. You can use the time to flush out character convos and such. That’s just my personal opinion though, you might already be 10 steps ahead of me on this...too early to tell. But ya, maybe go back and do a little edit from cards in the “inventory” to cards in his pocket or bag...something real ya know? It’s just a personal irk I have with some game cross over stories. And NO VATS!!!
So this is noted to be before the season 2 finale. Hmm.. if there’s one thing to look forward to, it’s the real Cadence meeting Six.
9028327
Oh yes.
Plenty of shenanigans will ensue when he meets the real one.
9028329
If Cadence convinces Six that he can learn to love. I would buy you a beer.
9028331
It's not gonna be easy for her.
Hell, it'll probably be harder for her to convince Six to love than it is cut someone down from crucifixion and have them live.
9028336
Yeah, when you’re in the Mojave.. you stick to Jet and Psycho while avoiding Sloan’s Deathclaw mosh pit.
9028343
Hey man, no matter what people say, those Deathclaws have great taste in Death metal.
