[The following article gives heavy spoilers for Knights of the Old Republic I and II.] Last but not least, fittingly we come to the unseen dominator of the KOTOR II companions. Seemingly impossible not to include writing about even in articles not centred upon her, Kreia equals this importance in game, possessing a seemingly unending amount of observations, criticisms, teachings […]
Airless Mouth pulled Down And I would be Unable to Say Speak And hardly with words Will never articulate The rawness of honesty Such as No distant figure Paint or other picture Has made me Experience A nearness The Artist Has given. By J.W.H. Hobbs.
While I really enjoyed Alt Shift X’s look into Tyrion Lannister and don’t have an interest in writing a broad article about the character, I noticed an aspect of the individual and something pertinent to many feudal stories that escaped notice somewhat: the importance of a powerful character’s retinue.

A diamond in the rough, that looks like a rough diamond. If you want original science fiction, truly original and not a rehash of what Star Trek or Wars covered before, Farscape is it.
