If we can have a thread for MSPA here, we can have a thread for the actually good quest lurking on its forums here, if only because despite it apparently being well-known on IRC, not everyone is on IRC. And that's terrible because this is great:

Like Weaver-grade writing great with Dungeon Deeper-grade art great.

She'll have to be extra cautious tomorrow. The guy does not discriminate when it comes to breaking the LAW, so Katia's actions could backfire in a hilarious/terrible way.

"Justice Detour" was funny. Gotta love those disguise terms. I also giggled at finger-handshake.
>>
No. 16590 ID: e3f578
It's okay if she accidentally breaks a law, just don't choose resist arrest. We don't have money either, so we can only go to jail.

And judging from her dreams, it looks likes she's destined to get arrested and meet the emperor anyway, seeing as how this is essentially sorta how the game plays out with that mod that starts you off in a boat. She's definitely part of one of those dragon-split multiple reality split speical characters that elder scrolls lore subtly breaks the forth wall with to make every single character and action canonically possible. The Nerevar was a dragonsplit guy, the daggerfall person and resultant ending where they all impossibly happened was a dragonslplit guy and so is the champion of cyrodil. Presumably, so will the Dovakiin dragonborn will be one of these dragonsplit characters, it's just they're double dragon related.

I don't know the correct term for these multiple reality breaks beyond the fact it involves dragon in the word and the player. There's this weird morrowind metaphysics article that discusses it somewhere on the internet.

Well, it's Oblivion LAW, at least, so it's pretty straightforward. No trespassing, no stealing, no hitting first, no riding other people's horses. I mean that's still plenty of rope, but at least it's not Paranoia and she'll be executed for stepping on the wrong colour of flagstone.

Neat. The "view post" and "==>" links need patching up to the point to the right place, though, it seems, and unfortunately there's some noise in there.

Fixed up the links .. should they go to the forum or to the quick-view? The "noise" is, I think, primarily because I just dump the post's html out unmodified, without any css to interpret the tag classes. Should I strip spoiler tags, or format them as already-visible? I think some RSS readers don't handle buttons well ..

The dream sequence was good storytelling. It lets the author reinforce the sense of hopelessness that was characteristic of the first part of the quest without actually having Katia ruin any sort of thing because her life is starting to get on track. I think it helps rein in suggestions that she can do anything and keep the readers a little more down to earth.

IF YOU'RE NOT POSTING THERE, YOU GET MORE THAN ENOUGH UPDATES JUST CHECKING THE FUCKING THREAD ONCE OR TWICE A DAY, AND IF YOU HAVE A FUCKING ACCOUNT THERE AND POST SUGGESTIONS, YOU'RE PROBABLY REFRESHING THE THREAD EVERY FIVE MINUTES ANYWAY.
