Bri Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Heh, at least I caught the play on the title from Shakespeare's play "A Comedy of Errors" Let me just say that I thought Haer' Dalis had a lot of potential for his background...but it wasn't really well developed (then again, that could be said for many of the Baldur's Gate I and II characters.) I really did like the small excerpts that you had at the start, as if from a travelguide or some such thing. And let me say you neatly sidestepped your avoidance of Haer' Dalis by having him as a side character while presenting the story through the viewpoint of another character. I do like how you did recognize that by making something public, by removing the mystique behind someone, they lose much of their percieved respect (there is a reason most totalitarian regimes prohibit satire at their expense...)

Domi Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 yes it is Haer'Dalis is really not in the position to narrate, because majority of the intrigue comes from Rahk's side. But, perhaps, what i can do when revising, I can make Haer'Dalis into the story teller, give the introductions to him.. I will see if it works Thank you for your commentary, Bri! Link to comment
Shadowhawke Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Wow, Domi. I've just finished reading. I've got to agree with Bri and say that Haer'Dalis never really had that detailed a background, but the way you have written him here, even though he is a side character, shows true depth. Well done.

Domi Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Thank you. Haer'Dalis is indeed a fascinating creature - I often wish there were more fiction involving him. Link to comment
