leshy my BELOVED (spoilers)

[bitterbuffy]

oh my god i adore him. the story of this game is so good!! at the end when you play one last round against him, and he just!! he's so friendly with the player man, when you realize he always knew he was in a game and he just wanted to keep you entertained so you'd keep playing with him!! grandpa forest hobo just wanted to play cards man i love him
it's kind of ironic in a way that people prefer the first act (his idealized version of the game) compared to the rest? like it was the best act no question (i did love the full game tho) but like. the other scrybes wanted their ideal version of the game and fought against leshy when he took over, but. leshy's version was by far the most popular fsjksdhsdk
i really love this game and i do think the advertising is a bit off with how it only focuses on act 1, but when every part of the game comes together it's so lovely and i will cry rn

I agree! Meeting him in Act 2 really shook me and my understanding of Act 1 - I'd been completely taken in back then, but that's when I started to see him as just... a showman who wants to put on the best performance he can. He loved what he did and that final moment is... weirdly at once heartwarming and tragic.

Rest well, Leshy. You earned it.

Playing the final game with him...
It tugged at my heartstrings.
Playing my favourite card, and seeing him respond with: "I remember that one. You did well."
Broke me.
The score did not matter. All that mattered was sharing an experience.

[Cackfog]

Yeah, 'no need to keep score' got me bad, RIP Leshy

[xI-Crimson-Ix]

RIP Leshy Grimora and magnificus (rust in sludge Po3) even days after ive beaten the game i still feel so sorry for the final Scrybe, i was trying to move while he attempted to reach me with his one arm, poor magnificus got done dirty all he wanted was a hand shake and the game would not let me give him his dying wish, i doubt mullins would ever do this because this game is focused on the narative like his outher two games but i would love to see him release dlc boards of the outher 2 scrybes game modes or something that expands the game purely with a focus on the gameplay

Sleep well dear Leshy! We will mourn for you

[TamTroll]

man, ever since the start of the game, i saw Leshy as the villain. he captured me and every character i played, forced us to play his game, made us tear out our eyes and teeth, killed us if we lost, berated us if we lost a candle before the boss, turned what i had assumed to be just other travellers in cards...

... i tried to replace him in act 2. i thought he was evil, i thought he was going too far and had to go down...

... then that final bit. He greeted me like an old friend. And after the slog of act 2, and the drama of act 3... i agreed with him there. He may have been the villain in my mind, but he was a damn good one. i'm gunna miss that guy.

I have to admit, the character development for the scribes was interesting, mostly Leshy and P03. In act 1 I thought Leshy was horrible and I felt bad for the stoat, stinkbug, and stunted wolf so when I started act 2 I first picked that I wanted to replace him. By the end of act 2 I had picked up on the hints that no scribe trusted P03 so I picked him instead (which apparently didn't matter much, that was happening either way). By the time I finished act 3, Leshy was my favorite (followed by Grimora). I genuinely smiled when the scales vanished and we both just shrugged and kept playing without a score board (I totally would have won it though lol).

...and now that I'm replaying act 1, the stoat dies horribly at every available opportunity.

During the final bit, I just sort of... stopped playing cards...
It just felt too wrong at that point...

I kept playing because it seemed like that is what they wanted to spend their final moments doing. Leshy loves the thrill, grimora was saying how great it could have been to play properly, and magnificus was doing his normal complaining, but about how his game would have been so much better if he had just gotten the chance. I ended up feeling like the least I could do was oblige them in their final moments.

hence why all i wanted at the very end was to shake his hand, even despite his game barely starting and trying to make do anyway, sadly nothing we can do to change that

Act 2 and and even 3 do so much to characterize Leshy and grow our appreciation for him. When we see the "real" Inscryption, and it's just a collectible card game with no GM, no map, no fusion or totems etc. and you realize that all came from Leshy. When you meet the subordinates and realize they are real characters that he chose base bosses off of. When P03 takes over the game and you see the difference between a GM that genuinely runs the game for the players vs. one who is using the player to satisfy themselves.

The only problem was locking the other Scrybes into cards to be used with sacrifice mechanics, especially PO3 who was put into a useless card and sacrificed again and again. But Leshy owns up to that mistake, and remember that the Old Data is influencing his behavior as well. Leshy is a good guy and I chose him to dethrone in act 2 because I wanted a turn running his game.

I finished the entire game but I wish we could get a Leshy Hand of Fate style game (without Hand of Fate's combat sequences) without all the meta stuff after you finish act 1. Leshy was a fun DM and I really enjoyed the creepy cabin atmosphere and all the props (the totems, the other items like the pliers, etc.) you picked up while playing the game.

[Voroff]

Leshy here is true to his tradition. It's legacy spread far and wide, as the roots of his beloved trees ...
... if the tradition mentionned anything about card games xD RIP old goat, at least you died doing your favourite thing.

[Hello Toonie]

Really did feel sympathy for the devil.
