Reviews for Breaching the Screen: Vol 1
Nimloth of Thay chapter 2 . 12/13/2019
Hello Capt. Incredible
ROFLing at the lich that can only see "his half of the screen". Seems like Khan is aware of being in a videogame and of its mechanics, kinda like Deadpool. I wish I could have seen the look on the Lich's face when he realized he had wasted nearly everything he had on the Ghast...That must have been the greatest "oh crap" face of the century! xD
Oooh, nice twist with the quest-givers getting at the party all at once! At first, I thought Khan was thinking of the Cowlies that spawn every time you use magic without having a licence, seeing how scared he was of "them". I see he has both the Five Flagons (bard) and the De' Arnise keep (fighter) as strongholds, which class is he then? Or is it the effect of the multi-stronghold mod?
His line "it's not a game!" was quite ironic, considering that it IS actually a videogame
I wonder if he knows also of Yoshimo being under a Geas and if he'll try to save his friend...

I just wanted to say I really like these short stories. The first time I read them was laughing uncontrollably, they are exactly my style of humor (sarcastic/witty/ironic).

I was thinking of doing my own screen breaches, but it's harder than it sounds. Things like weapon restrictions for example - they aren't really logical (provided mage is strong enough, no reason he shouldn't be able to pick up a long sword and swing it), but it's hard to make a short story out of it.

I think using the same character (Khan) and mostly the same group of NPCs as your story allowed was brilliant. Allowed readers to become invested in what happens to Khan and friends.

Ahh the crazies of BG2. I remember all the stupid crap like that. everything was such magic! Seemed so cool and realistic until it wasn't at all. Great stuff.
Animaxfan and Makiro chapter 1 . 12/29/2007
Animaxfan: Oh that is just... Amazing!

Makiro: It's weird all his plans work no matter how stupid they are...

Hilarious, well-written, always nice to see these sorts of fics.

Considering the point of these stories, I think it was a little strange how in chapter 3 the party has one more character than the game allows, though. Just nitpicking.
Treymane chapter 9 . 7/29/2007
good stuff.

Reminds me of the time I was fighting against Firkrag and had to retreat with only two party members left. Once I was upstairs Firkrag was somehow in the prison room so I retreated downstairs again and was sandwiched between two Firkrags who each had full health.

I'll finish reading this at some point
Malak's Mistress chapter 12 . 6/19/2007
I just read the entire 12 chapters in about twenty minutes...because it was awesome! Being a Baldur's Gate fan, I laughed out loud at the way you've twisted the game's rules and logic. This was a really great piece of work and I'm quite sad to finish it, but that's the way it is, eh. My favourite chapters would have to have been the first three. It was just Wow I totally know what you mean! On another note, I have done quite a few of the things you mentioned (like resting when I didn't want to use my potions and setting up an attack on a still neutral NPC ) but I was wondering if you actually fought the lich in chapter one that way...hehehe. I could point out every part of your fic that I loved, but that would be very tedious for both myself and you, but I really enjoyed this...just wanted to let you know ,
Italian Empress 1985 chapter 12 . 5/25/2007
I'm reminded of in game bugs here where they tell you.

"Character appears busy."

or

"Character has nothing to say to you."

Well . . . well FINE, you are too busy to talk and wouldn't want to talk to me anyway! Oh, this just reminds me of my mother. What do you mean my time is almost up? Your my shrink! No one loves me. *sniff sniff*

Yes the oddities of the game. This was a good little romp, it's been added to the C2. :)

No longer will I have to worry I'm the only one that responds with a 'what the hell?' when Aerie decides to tell Jaheira her hair is pretty just as we're all about to be attacked by nasty shadows and werewolves.

Well done my friend, well done.
Kendris chapter 12 . 5/14/2007
Oh, this has been a blast! And damn you, now you've got ME noticing moments like that...such as when I resurrected Anomen in the Underdark and spent 15 minutes looking for his gear...

Or when we're fleeing the Underdark and my romantic interest picks THAT moment to open an extended dialogue... (Why, of course, dear...I'd love to have a drink of wine while we're running for our lives).

The possibilities are endless...you SURE you want to stop?
Sombre Destin chapter 12 . 5/9/2007
what! the end, already? but it was so fun! I'll miss Khan and his little team...
Morgain McGarry chapter 12 . 5/9/2007
Now thats a fine ending.

I remember my first game after installing the banter and flirt pack.

Well done..your skill increases 10 points. :D
Dromiceius chapter 12 . 5/9/2007
*applauds*

A very appropriate story to close the series. Bravo.
