What can C3 do to stick the landing?
I have been a half-hearted defender for most of C3, but I have had a hard time defending since the Ludinis fight. Last night was more of the same, somehow it just feels low energy, I'm not invested the stakes, overlong, indecisive. These characters are really not working.
If they don't stick the landing somehow, I might have to be done with CR. I have been watching live and caught up since the Kraken fight in C1.
There are so many other great D&D streamers out there that have stepped the game up beyond what CR can offer. My two favs are Dimension 20 and Worlds Beyond Number (if you have not checked this out you MUST!) Those are so fast-paced and gripping compared to CR, especially Worlds Beyond Number.
So my question is, what would they need to do to stick the landing in order for you to have hope for the future of CR? For me,
- Ludinis needs to come back bigger and badder with a sensible plan, that can't have been the end of him, and we need an explanation as to why he whiffed that fight
- I need to care about at least two other characters by the end (only Orym right now)
- I need to feel hyped and invested in the final battle, because I'm not there now. The characters' listlessness spreads to the viewers. I don't believe they care, because they can't make up their minds. Except maybe Braius.
