    Somehow I seem to have forgotten all the good quests lines, and only remember the bad ones.
    Maybe it's time to create another char and take a look at all the stuff I forgot. Hey, seems like I found another thing that will hold me in this game for a while
    Not just Severian, either, but the one with F'lhaminn was good and also the mystery in Mor Dhona.

All the effusive praise has honestly soured me a bit on the community lol. Like, it was okay, but the idea of someone literally sobbing over it is beyond me. If I want to be cynical, then I'd even suggest that those people are being intentionally misleading about how emotionally potent the questline is. Kinda like how when my gf calls some girls pretty, when we both know they're not. Why she and other girls do that, I have no clue.

    I also see a lot of people gushing over it saying "OMG Ishikawa lives off our tears!" But Ishikawa wasn't even the writer for the emotional part of the series — levels 60-70. Ishikawa only wrote levels 1-50.
    Uh, never said I cried over anything, but go off, dude. If you've ever lost anyone then there some things that resonate in both Severian and F'lhaminn's questlines.

    You called it "Emotional Damage the questline." I'm just saying those are some pretty emphatic words.

    Lyse is great if you play in Japanese. The English VA totally butchered her character.
