Heya Zizzy!

How did you like playing a forceuser that's bad with a lightsaber? Also was Zizzy aware of what she was doing when she picked a bikini? :P

It was a novel experience :P I wanted to explore a more mystical side to the force and I think that worked really well. Zizzy is a good support character, eventually she'll learn how to use the saber properly but I decided from the beginning that I wanted a complete change. Of course, I did enjoy the two sparring scenes where she actually did well.

Zizzy was not really aware of what she was doing with the beach outfit. I looked up beachwear on Pinterest and there she was ;)

It was a lot of fun writing with Zizzy! I think she may have been the PC I interacted with the most, between Orgus and Chriala, the Holocron plot, and various other things. I also had fun ghosting her as a scary tree!

Did Zizzy give you any surprises?
Any individual scenes that you especially enjoyed?
What about favorite interactions, with PCs and NPCs?

Zizzy was a fun read, and so very different from your other Force User character too! :D She did leave a favorable impression on my NPCs at least.

Was there anything you wanted to do with Zizzy that didn't happen?

Scary tree :P

I really enjoyed the easy relationship with Orgus, and the one that developed with Chriala. The scene with Eir, Corvin, and Master Fang was unexpected and fun, as was the trio to the swamp with Corvin.

I think Camlen quickly became my favourite NPC, that whole plot with him was great and I hope that Zizzy and Holo lad get to solve more mysteries!

Surprises? I thought she'd be more blunt, but she ended up more sassy and fun loving, which surprised me. Oh yeah, and at some point I just decided she was a huge Veera Hawke fan, which gave her a nice hook with Silas and was totally unplanned :)

Well, as to that, I've already started taking a few notes for a theoretical future game. You can look forward to finding out more about Ossus, and the non-Holocron Camlen!

Thanks, that was very deliberate! I wanted to try something completely different and I think that worked :)

At the start of the game I thought I would spend more time with Master Murah. I did enjoy the scenes with her (Under the Sea and Meditating), and didn't expect to spend more time with Farissa - who I really enjoyed talking to (and the sparring was hilarious).

I wanted to get more into the whole tendril reading thing, her grandmother, and the Mikkian force tradition, but that didn't happen in the end. Gives me something to play around with if she's able to comes back sometime though. I also thought there would be more Survival-related stuff, but the natural world stuff we did so was really fun.

I loved Zizzy, and I wish we'd had more time together. She was so pretty and gregarious, and I think it was fun complement to Eir's more reserved nature, especially when we went to visit Fang. If we'd had the chance to talk post-Auratera, Eir could have told her about Sembylus and they could have done some awesome investigating! Eir was right on the cusp of connecting the dots.

Oh wow, another mystery would have been awesome! It sounds like there's a lot more for Eir to explore there, hopefully we'll be able to do that in a future game?

Yes I also really enjoyed the way our different personalities played off each other. One of my favourite moments was realising one of my visions was actually about Eir and Lord Destrus, and giving Eir some moral support.

Looking back at the way she played out I probably should have given Zizzy some ranks in Charm, or Presence 3. That being said I really enjoyed the force visions etc, so no regrets.
