As you were.
I read the short story by Washington Irving titled “Rip Van Winkle,” which I assume is where the Hellsing character got her name, but I didn’t notice any significant similarities between the story’s Rip Van Winkle and Hellsing’s.
One part of the story that seems similar is that Rip Van Winkle falls asleep for years and is considered lost, only to reappear a couple decades later, sort of like Millenium did. That relates more to the group as a whole than the lieutenant herself though.
Another similar aspect is that Rip Van Winkle runs into the spirits of sailors, while the lieutenant takes over an aircraft carrier at sea. But all he does is drink liquor with them, so again it’s not that close of a connection.
Just curious if there’s an explanation behind her name that I missed or haven’t found.
For anyone who is a longtime player who hasn't done this, it's pretty funny and also makes the difficulty way higher initially.
I do this without mods and on mobile, but the sleeping for 2+ years is super tedious and takes 20 minutes or so.
If you sleep through year 1&2 and start playing after grandpa gives his passive aggressive evaluation on how you really haven't done anything but he's happy your enjoying it.....
Here's what you find...
Your property is overgrown, trees are everywhere and usually are blocking your door. Getting out of the farm can be a challenge. In one playthrough I ran out of energy 3 times before I could make a path out of the farm.
A syrup farm is now a viable option. Since the trees are so packed you can sculpt rows and then install tappers. Great source of income and finally a reason to take the syrup bonus skill. Also you can collect and sell tree seeds as a source of income.
You are pretty much guaranteed to have a mushroom tree or several of them. This makes an awesome early game income source, once you can get to them....
You may have a few meteorites blocking things on the property. I've had both alternate exits blocked before, hilarious and annoying.
Your mailbox is full of all the quests. You have a long to do list.
The bathhouse is super useful as you'll need it to get enough energy to start working the farm.
The Joja route is hilariously easy, due to the stupid amount of resources you already have on the farm.
Anybody else done this playthrough?
Hey Everyone,
I played Lotro through level 50 with an archer......12 years ago. I stopped playing when my first daughter was born, but now that I have more hobby time on my hands I realized how much I missed playing. I really love the lore of Middle Earth and am thinking of replaying the game from level 1 to experience it all over again, especially now that I'm WFH 100% and just built a new gaming rig.
Any recommendations on characters and servers to start all over again with? Is archer still a character some kins avoid playing with (there were too many?). I'm not looking to play a lot with others, but I believe the epic quest storyline requires it to finish the game? I'm willing to pay for a subscription this time around. Love this community and thanks everyone.
...is about being a man outside of time.
The original Rip Van Winkle missed a couple of decades - including the American Revolution - and found himself in a time utterly strange and unfamiliar to himself. His musket is old and rusted, his beard is enormous, his hometown is completely different, and no one recognizes him.
John Martson doesn't fall asleep for 20 years, but he nevertheless ends up as a man outside of time. He lives to be the last of the van der Linde gang (or second last if you count his son Jack). In RDR1 he lives to see the steady death of the Old West with his own eyes, the distance replaced with telephone cables and railroads, the last outlaws hunted down by the likes of Edgar Ross, and so on. He's very much a relic of a dying age in RDR1, and the end of the story is symbolically the death of the Old West.
Clever little thematic nod, I'd say.
Anybody read these 19th Century American Short Stories?
