mothfluff:

my biggest WHAT IF though: WHAT IF Liam had mentioned, during his talk with the Raven Queen, that Vecna was trying to become a god? Not just being shell-shocked and talking about how angry he was

Everything Matt says as the RQ is CLEARLY guiding Liam in that direction. He must’ve had a very clear plan how the RQ would react to hearing of Vecna’s plan. Maybe there would’ve been no need for Vax’s deal at all, maybe the RQ would’ve been far more help in their fight.

Just goes to show that it’s really not scripted, and/or Matt keeps his plans and stories very much to himself so the players can’t anticipate anything. Either Liam literally forgot about Vecna’s plan during that episode, or he absolutely wanted a more dramatic turn for Vax? (he is a big goth drama queen let’s be fair) He seems pretty intent on getting Vax to this horribly sad ending no matter what, he constantly mentions it after the deal. Scanlan’s wish might’ve thrown a pretty big wrench into that, I wonder how Liam would’ve actually reacted to that happening instead of just being emotional over losing the Wish.

Liam said on Talks he meta-gamed himself into thinking the RQ is omniscient and knows what’s going on. He’s, ah, not the best with context clues occasionally 😀
