And the guy's dead wife is there. At the ghost DMV. The dead wife is a ghost and he's the ONLY ghost who knows he's a ghost. In the ghost DMV. You make friends with the guy's dead wife (while waiting in line) (at the ghost DMV) and he tells you that the lunatic immortal wizard who's making you defeat his seven evil bureaucratic processes while you die of magic cancer before you can even fight him directly is really just a silly sentimental fella.

Then in the next expansion you get to live through the dead wife flashbacks yourself. You get to meet the dead wife when he's alive in the past, outside of the DMV. And it turns out he works at the real DMV, in the past. And he has pink hair. And he and the past-self version of the insane immortal wizard (who sent you to the ghost DMV) pull off a sick prank to help you close the timeloop.

For now, I've made it through floors 1-20, solo, and, of course, there will be no Necromancer title obtained any time soon because I already got the first couple of explosive mine deaths in there.

I do plan on going for the Necromancer title (probably after a very long time spent practicing), though, because it might be the only title in the game I care about because I feel like it's as fitting as it can get for Dark Knight and pretty prestigious and hard-earned at that.

Apparently you can't go for Necromancer right away anyway because you need to max Aetherpool (which from what I understand "saves" at 50, when you can get the weapon outside of PoTD), so for now I'll probably work up to 50, take a detour to the new Deep Dungeon when it is released and then chip away at it when returning to it until I get it since I really did enjoy my time with it.

It's the same kind of enjoyment I got out of soloing some of the EXs and the Variant Dungeons, which is simply striving to master the game's mechanics on your own terms.

The 10-floor check point bosses especially feel like they could get really fun.

But I can also see the frustration of the 200-floor climb really setting in when you're starting to make it to those higher levels and are just randomly exploded by a mine.

I also really like the simple glowy weapon, even if you could argue it is "too simple" and I definitely want the red version because it's the same except red (which is just more cool glowy weapons).

Finally, I know the tease of the PoTD story is Edda, but I really like her outfit in PoTD, which as it turns out, is a Mogstation outfit, which is unfortunate.

I was hoping it would be a cool rare drop from PoTD or something.

they're printing this fancy art magic card of Estinien and I keep seeing people say it's his romance cutscene, it's the sexy outfit he wears for You, etc etc:

but what is ACTUALLY happening in this scene is that he showed up at your door, flat out refused to come in, and one minute later walks across the room to jump off of the balcony. he's straight up leaving in this art. he talked to you for a minute and now he is fucking off. and I can't stop laughing about it

it's literally just like this post LOL

then after the first boss you had to get on the elevator. all 8 of you. at the same time. yeah if we forgot someone we have to go back. then every single person has to pick up a key to turn on the magitek armor and get on another elevator. hope you didn't miss that one.
