Commentary
I couldn't decide which open world RPG to make fun of, SO I HAVE CHOSEN ALL OF THEM.
I'm sort of writing this storyline by as I go, but not entirely. I've got a couple jokes I know I want to have, and I'm trying to write them at least three at a time.
SCIENCE!
A common issue I've had with EGSNP lately is I've felt the desire for a bit more vertical space. Too much more could result in its own problems (like the potential for a lot of empty space), so I've started with about a 6.85% increase (end result being the low-res version is 21 pixels taller).
I'll probably stick with it for this storyline for consistency, and to get a good range of testing it, but I might change it up further later.
In tribute to...
For those with supposedly better things to do than play such RolePlaying video Games, this first comic has nods to The Elder Scrolls 5, Skryim with mention of a dragon slayer, Fallout 3 with the "lone" bit (the protagonist was known as "the lone wanderer), and Fallout 1 with the quest for a means of water purification.
The dwarven ruins could also be mistaken for an Elder Scrolls reference, but I was just thinking general Tolkien-style fantasy dwarves and mountain homes with vast interiors that were kept safe, but exteriors that, well...
There WERE exploding dragons.

The player was a gadgeteer in a super team lair. When another team member interrupted her there was a tiny, equine scream from the game. :-)

2019-04-08 19:10:02 +0000 UTCI inadvertently helped inspire Fallout: Equestria, so this seems appropriate (I drew Applejack in a New Vegas setting, someone was like "that doesn't work, but how COULD it work?", and it snowballed from there. So I had very, VERY little to do with it, but I did put the question in someone's head).

2019-04-08 17:38:45 +0000 UTCHeh. Your comments remind me of the time I had a character playing _Elder Scrolls: Equestria_. :-)

2019-04-08 15:33:21 +0000 UTCwell, this is a setting I wouldn't mind seeing more of.

2019-04-08 11:59:16 +0000 UTCIsn't this also basically the introduction to Faxanadu, only with the races reversed?

2019-04-08 10:34:58 +0000 UTCThis is also (mostly) the plot to the film Reign of Fire.

Simon Magid
2019-04-08 09:59:56 +0000 UTCI legit thought this was a Fallout 76 burn given the game literally contains nuclear dragons.

2019-04-08 09:37:24 +0000 UTC"I beg all of the pardons?" is a excellent and very appropriate line there, indeed.

2019-04-08 08:20:16 +0000 UTCExploding Dragons does sounds quite end-of-the-worldy.

2019-04-08 06:53:45 +0000 UTCAlso, isn't that how Breath of the Wild started, pretty much?
