Just saying but like the idea of Eddie being taken out of the story as a main character in the Drowned Eddie au and being used as a villain honestly gives more opportunities for the other main characters to shine. I might write more about this later cuz I haven’t put a whole lot of thought into it right now, but thinking about it, characters like Lita didn’t really get very much development other than disliking Ophelia and being Lars’s brother.
Even Ophelia. I feel like she should have more time on screen doing cool shit, and the idea of her being the main character trying to get Eddie back and fix everything, it just sounds so cool. Things like this always make me so excited about writing cuz it’s like. Gosh, I love Brutal Legend but there are definitely flaws and kinks that should be corrected, not just with the gameplay. The story is AWESOME don’t get me wrong but like I said, some of the main characters I feel like should’ve been able to shine more. Very specifically Lita because gosh I love her she’s so cool, and she doesn’t really get a chance to be cool, yk?
Which is why a SEQUEL WOULD’VE BEEN A GOOD FUCKING IDEA CUZ SOME OF THESE ISSUES COULD’VE BEEN FIXED. LOOKIN AT YOU, EA.
It's Brutal Legend's anniversary today so I'll repost this drawing of Eddie Riggs I did for Inktober... sorry he looks a lil silly
What's funny is I didn't even KNOW it was gonna be the game's anniversary when I drew this three days ago. I was just thinking of it bc I've been playing PN2 again.
Was thinking about drawing a better drawing of him for today's Inktober, but I don't have the mental energy for it haha, I would want it to look real good... maybe later.
I LOVED Psychonauts 2, and I was really excited for all of the new concepts that I could incorporate into the Wildcard AU! Here are some of the new mental enemies and how they'd manifest in the guys' mindscapes:
Panic Attack / Bad Mood & Doubts / Bad Ideas / Enabler / Regrets / Judgement
