Yeah, I’m playing on PC, so not sure. I like the game overall so far!

Playing Tales from Arise.

The entire series so far is on sale on GOG with all historic lows, for anyone looking to jump in on PC and or double dip. Trails in the Sky is only $10 for those who want a taste of the first game that hooked us all…

Regarding the end of ROW and whether Hoid was conned or did the conning, I’m in the latter camp. I only skimmed the thread but I’d also like to mention the theory floating around that the coin Hoid uses in the scene immediately prior to confronting Odium is an unkeyed metalmind which had backups of his memories, meaning he anticipated Odium attacking his breaths.

There’s lots of theories out there about where is best to start. I’m one of the few that thinks it doesn’t matter. Whatever your gateway drug into the cosmere is, is fine. Sure, there’s a few connections you’ll miss, but I’m assuming most readers will at least have re-read or read a detailed summary of the books which point these out afterwards. i started with Stormlight and then read everything else.

Oh boy oh boy, my favorite novella in the cosmere. What did you think? Feel free to post on my profile or whatever if you wanna do open spoilers

This scene hit me, but not in a sad way: I was storming PISSED at Moash. He’ll get his, one day…grrrr

Yes. Thank you for correcting my faulty memory! When Leras tells Kel that Dox cursed his name as he died…I had to put the book down. Just ROUGHED me up.

I thought of another one in Secret History. When Kelsier is watching Dox, Ham, etc die. But specifically Dox cursing Kelsier as he died, that really hits me hard.

Thanks for sharing, this is an incredible theory and I’m on board with it.

Re-reading Mistborn, from the Final Empire to Bands of Mourning. Some of it on audio, tho.

That is an excellent one, and one I totally forgot in the context of this post! Yeah, it DID get pretty dusty in here when I read that scene . Also from RoW, Raboniel’s entire arc and motivation are rather tragic overall. Didn’t move me to tears, but certainly made me blue.

Thinking I might give Final Fantasy III pixel remaster a go today.

I'm re-reading Mistborn series 1 right now and I absolutely choke up like nothing else every time Kelsier leaves Vin - "You still have some things to learn about friendship, Vin. I hope someday you realize what they are." The bookend scene to this one in Secret History, where Vin turns the line around on Kelsier before choosing to go to the Beyond with Elend also gets me equally. Something about the way Brandon wrote these parts just really hits home, but I also feel it's super impactful to me just because Kel and Vin are among Brandon's best developed characters I wouldn't even say The Final Empire is my favorite book in the Cosmere, but I don't think anything has had the emotional impact that that scene and line has on me every time I read or hear it. Gun to my head, I'd probably choose Stormlight as my favorite Cosmere series, but I really can't say anything in it has ever made me cry like these scenes. On the tragedy scale, Vasher's backstory is also pretty sad, but since we don't really see it, I guess it hasn't impacted me the same. Wax killing Lessie didn't impact me the same way because I had no idea who either were, yet. Though I would say overall, I sense some melancholy in all of the Mistborn books that I don't really pick up in others. Anyway, I just wanted to get the emotions out there and off my chest, but also see what moments have impacted folks here in different ways. Am I forgetting something obvious in other books? Have you cried during other Cosmere scenes?
