Every single week, Robbie’s roleplaying as Dorian floors me. Sure, he’s charming, awkward, funny- all that is endearing, but just as in EXU, it’s the depth of bad emotional decision-making that pulls me in to the character. For instance, the worries and aggravation about his brother’s plight causing him to pre-plan self-isolating and taking the task of clearing Cyrus’s name on his own (which is neither wise nor efficient), likely just so he can have (or attempt to have) sole control over the situation and not have anyone else in the way to worry him... it’s a really great portrayal of someone who is lowkey destructive in their anxiety, lack of healthy self-esteem, and poor stress management skills. (See: “let’s do crime, f*ck it!”, as well as the interaction with Artana, reuniting with Cyrus, Bertrand’s demise, etc.) Dorian is very smart, but no smarter than his very volatile emotions will allow. As does everyone at the table, Robbie knows what he’s doing with his character, and I’m so incredibly glad that Dorian was his choice to share with all of us.

@@jamestuttlebee2498 That wasn't as central as for the others. Percy's entire motivation was the tragedy that struck his family, Caduceus' whole arc was to be able to walk his own path apart from his parents and siblings and clearly, Ashton has a lot of bagage when it comes to their found family. Molly was close to the circus, but it wasn't his motivation for anything and his story didn't revolve around its relation to them, it was just a context for his awakening. Apart from loners, the people they were surrounded with will always be a big deal for most characters. I could also sa that family was the most important thing for Vax and Vex (rejected by their father), Pike and Grog (found one another when their family was shitty), Keyketh (herited her mother's burden as the leader of her clan), Scanlan (motivated by the death of his mother and seeking to be a better father for his own daughter), Taryon (desperate for his father's love), Caleb (wrecked by the loss of his own parents by his hands), Jester (extremely close to her mother and longing for a father), Beau (rejected by her father for not conforming), Fjord (orphaned at birth and looking for a family his entire life), Veth (trying to become herself again so she could rejoin her husband and child) and Yasha (outcast from her own clan). It's easy to make a big deal out of relationship since it's what drives most characters, and I'm not saying you're wrong, family is certainly an important theme for Taliesin, I'm just saying you're grasping at straws when it comes to Molly.

I totally believe that Pretty is just an honest chef who does his best while also being a connoisseur of fine arts. Yet, because he works in such a backwards establishment, he has to rely on his more ogre presumptions to get his way, but when he has no one around to judge him, he can be more himself. They had private seats, so he would be more critical on the show. Outside, he just had the 3 girls who he now actually found a fondness for and was being more in-line. It was cheesy, but I love it

While its a great line, my conflict with Ashton is I honestly don't see much separation from him and Molly. I mean, can you honestly say you wouldn't see Molly deliver that line? Honestly, I still lean to Caduceus being his best 'character' from the critical roll campaigns if only because he had to play him counter from how his personality is. Molly, Ashton, and to some degree Percy all feel too close to him just playing himself in a fantasy setting. I get the counter point that there isn't anything wrong with that, but it disappoints me when I believe he has much more range and can make some very fascinating characters if he could just break away from his go to type.

@@grumdiddlydoo3559 I get that. There are definitely some large overlaps between Kayden (Dread), Carver (L.A. By Night), Mollymauk and Ashton. OTOH: So much of my personal investment of this is dependent on the players' visible and obvious enjoyment. To that end, I really just want them to play characters THEY feel like playing. Designing their PCs any other way I feel would be a short path to either burnout or CR becoming a very different animal.

@@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll Thats fair. I'd rather they have fun even if it means they don't dabble into new personalities. It's just that he has teased with some variations. Cad as I mentioned, and also his 1 shot character for the Blackwoods Elder Scrolls 3 parter. So I know he can mix it up. It's not that I hate Ashton, it's just a lot of what I feel I've already seen from Tal.

@@grumdiddlydoo3559 to be fair he didn't really get to play Molly though an actual arc. Due to an irritable Oni. In that position as a player id want to give that character flavor a revisit, because its not about who you start as but who you grow into. Characters with very similar outlooks can become dramatically different people. Taliesin is literally the Executive Goth. And comes from a big and close knit family. So he has a deeper connection to that. It can be very difficult to be a character that has such contrasting core views of life. And it can be more fun to explore facets within the vein of your interest than trying to mock up a character whos core principles are something you have a hard time grasping enough to emulate. Its why I have a harder time playing paladins and clerics for example, the classes imply a level of devotion and fervour Ive simply never found in faith. 5e paladins being more oath oriented than faith based helps. But I would not likely play a paladin for a three year campaign, a one shot or two to see how i do? Sure, but comitting to a character for three years is harsh, and if its not something you find much joy in, it will diminish your experience, and that in turn will show on the video. The way I see it is Taliesin has slowly been expanding his boundaries in CR. Started with a character whos family was the entirety of that characters place in the world. Moved to one who had a chosen family, Which dissolved and left him latching onto a new family because he had nowhere else to go and was afraid of being on his own. (as confirmed in a talks episode) Then a character whos family was important but whos duty compelled him stay while they all left. Until eventually he had to go as well. Cad never sought carving out a life beyond his family. His entire journey was about making home something that he could return to. It was only after already having travelled so far and seen so much and caring for the group that he was reluctant to close that chapter. Now hes a character whos adoptive family left him, and hes been making his own way solo for years, and now finally getting back into having people around him.
