Series B, Episode 01 - Redemption
AVON: So you're just going to sit here and wait for them to eliminate us? You saw the size of this place. If we get out of here, we can run and we can hide. If they're going to kill us, let us at least try and make it difficult for them.

Yesterday, I watched "The Match" (승부), a movie that is now available on streaming platforms after it ran in cinemas in March. It tells the story of two Korean Go players who were both considered best in the world at some point: Cho Hun-hyun and Lee Chang-ho, a master and a student who later overtook the master. Side note: Lee Chang-ho was later followed by Lee Sedol as the world's best player who was then followed by AlphaGo. 1/2

"[…] Wanting a man got me into awful troubles more than once. But wanting to get married, never! No, no. None of that for me."
"Why not?" Tenar demanded.
Taken aback, Moss said simply, "Why, what man'd marry a witch?" And then, with a sidelong chewing motion of her jaw, like a sheep shifting its cud, “And what witch’d marry a man?"
They split rushes.
"What's wrong with men?" Tenar inquired cautiously.
As cautiously, lowering her voice, Moss replied, "I don't know, my dearie. I’ve thought on it. Often I’ve thought on it. The best I can say it is like this. A man’s in his skin, see, like a nut in its shell." She held up her long, bent, wet fingers as if holding a walnut. “It’s hard and strong, that shell, and it’s all full of him. Full of grand man-meat, man-self. And that’s all. That’s all there is. It’s all him and nothing else, inside."
Tenar pondered awhile and finally asked, "But if he's a wizard—"
"Then it's all his power, inside. His power’s himself, see. That’s how it is with him. And that’s all. When his power goes, he’s gone. Empty." She cracked the unseen walnut and tossed the shells away. “Nothing."
"And a woman, then?"
"Oh, well, dearie, a woman's a different thing entirely. Who knows where a woman begins and ends? Listen, mistress, I have roots, I have roots deeper than this island. Deeper than the sea, older than the raising of the lands. I go back into the dark." Moss’s eyes shone with a weird brightness in their red rims and her voice sang like an instrument. “I go back into the dark! Before the moon I was. No one knows, no one knows, no one can say what I am, what a woman is, a woman of power, a woman’s power, deeper than the roots of trees, deeper than the roots of islands, older than the Making, older than the moon. Who dares ask questions of the dark? Who’ll ask the dark its name?"

Udało mi się skończyć "Enderal: forgotten stories" - o wiele bardziej mi się podobała historia od Skyrima (na silniku którego powstała ta gra jako mod).
Scenariusz, lokacje, rozwój postaci - majstersztyk RPG. Duże poboczne zadania też wciągały, a wątek główny był mroczny, zaskakujący i na koniec spiął całą historie w nieoczekiwany sposób.
Ah, jedna z top gier ostatnio w które grałem, mino początkowego męczenia się z każdym małym zadaniem i przeciwnikiem.
