The Way to Meridian

The first time I got to Daytower, ready to finally leave Nora lands and eager to listen to 346 renditions of All That The Light Reaches (I’d been listening to the OST while writing Dragon Age fanfiction, and that track in particular was one of those I liked the most), I was somewhat disappointed I was pretty much instantly sent back to retrieve a soldier drunk on his own misery.

Of course, I could’ve just left that quest to stew for later, but since Walid wasn’t going to find his comrades anytime soon, I decided to not put it off. Sadly, that also meant I ran into my first Snapmaws, and while I remembered them being annoying from the LP I’d watched in 2017, I hadn’t expected them being that annoying. They’re not quite on Glinthawk levels, but close. Very close. (They’re savage fighters if you override them, however. The current machine rampage award is held by two Snapmaws, and they killed 1) the other two Snapmaws at their site, 2) two nearby Sawtooths, 3) a Ravager on the other side of the river, 4) five Watchers on the other side of the river, next to the Ravager, 5) got the final hit on two corrupted Rockbreakers I was fighting in the meantime and 6) a Shell-Walker, before they got killed by the second Shell-Walker that was there.)

If you stay long enough on the roofs and upper levels of Meridian Village (you can reach them by creative jumping), NPCs start appearing on the upper platforms.

If you see a broom on those platforms, there’s a good chance a NPC will appear after a little while if you’re on that level, and start using it, but they also appear where there is no broom. They don’t really do anything in that case, they just stand there or they pace back and forth.

But nothing is more unsettling than that random Oseram guy who stands on that roof next to the chimney and stares right at you without moving. (I’ve noticed there’s a broom on the level just under, so I guess that’s where he’s supposed to appear, but he is somehow glitching in the wrong place.)

Also, that guy changes as soon as it leaves your line of sight xD But every time, it’s an Oseram (for me at least).

This also happens in Lone Light. There’s a broom on a platform of the first building to the right, that spawns a npc if you linger long enough on the roofs there.

There’s also a broom (I think ?) on the second level of the inn in Daytower, and it also spawn a NPC, who uses the broom and also repairs stuff. Like the others, he only spawns if you manage to get up there.

No npc spawns on the upper levels of Meridian and this is just sad :(

“Hello, can you point me to the closest toilets ?”
