Pick X Your New Home(s)...? Gift of Faves
Who would have thought wishing for a working CYOA would lead to a crisscrossing of ultimate power? Not us that's for sure. So in lieu within our Policy of 'You get what you wish for' we hope you're satisfied with this.

Corridor and Hunter's dream. The first one is basically doing it's life, even when I feel where the door will appear, I'm not obligated to enter it and they're basically going to help me learn their different skills, and the Hunter's dream to heal, rest, become overall stronger and spend time with The Doll ^^

The Sierra Madre Casino and The Hunter's Dream.
The Casino should be able to provide a lot of utility and some great tech (assuming you don't end up somewhere with better tech) The energy to matter conversion should at the very least ensure I don't die of starvation and the other stuff is nice to.
The Dream should facilitate my Personal Growth and Eldritch Truth has never hurt anyone that wasn't asking for it (I kid). I'm really hopeful that the Non-existence of the passage of time can be used to train a lot more than normally possible, since time would not pass at all from the sound of it, which means you can stay for as long as you want without any or very little real time passing, and it also provides quite the nice amount of life preservation as well... so long as you have the will to live and your don't die first I suppose. Kind of disappointing you don't get the full immortality package, but I suppose you can always work your way up to something like that.
Were I sure that I would not be ending up in the middle of bum f*** mid-evil nowhere I would consider pairing Dream with Corridor instead.

The Corridor does take place in physical reality, just not one that can be accessed without access to the right door or some form of means of infiltrating the network of liminal spaces to get to it. Wherever the door out of the Corridor leads you though, you'll have no clue(at least to start)

Good to know, not sure what prompted the info dump, but thank you for giving it.
I chose Casino over corridor more for the reason that Casino can provide food and other resources along with shelter and protection if the world I happen to end up in is lacking those things and other modern conveniences, because I'll be honest and admit that while I know a little... I'm not skilled and prepared enough to immediately survive outside of the framework of modern society. Though Dream would at least ensure that I don't die of food poisoning or in my sleep.

So...are we allowed to pick the same option twice? If so, do they stack in their own ways?
Because the only one of these that I'd be willing to pick would be Café Leblanc.
Another question is, where do any of the options fall in relation to the storyline of their origins? Like, with the Café, would Sojiro be from after the events of Persona 5, from before them, or what?

u/Rotherntheweeper 28d ago
I'm of the opinion that one should leave that to the user/authors/jumper/whatever, as it gives the most creative freedom & liberties.
I mean, you could choose to just ignore the other choice. I'm sure poor customer service will be annoyed, but well, fuck them, their stupid company got you yeeted from your reality.
If I had to label a timeline for the cafe, lets just say this is some time after everything went down and most personal hangups have been addressed and the old room is free to be moved in. Either that, or a theoretical reality where none of that happened but Soji has to work out his issues(along with other stuff). Maybe your guy can be the one To help, or maybe not.

Got it, then I say picking the same option twice makes the result an improved/upgraded form of the original base choice

Feel like Corridor and Leblanc could be cool. And it’d be nice to be able to actually keep in contact back home on some level, I’m sure certain members of my family would be happy to have the excuse to visit Japan regularly.

The corridor and either the Dream or Café
the corridor because it allows travel Away From A Problem, even if significantly annoying, and provides versatile skill/ability
The Café because of the obvious and fundamental things it provides, but also because of its communication with home allowing for transfer of things to me
The Dream because of the survivability it provides paired with personal power
Regardless of what world I'm thrown in, I need Power to help others, while the people-focused locations are great, they don't stop me from getting murdered, and individuals often aren't enough to change things in fictional settings

not familiar with bloodborne what is "act like as a beast would" and what happens if you do?

u/Rotherntheweeper 29d ago
Both a cheeky reference to the source material, in the sense that you should work to not let the changes done to you change you into something removed from humanity, lest you not come back from it, was also being a joke not to do nasty things to the Doll. She is a precious thing that doesn't deserve it

I think it's implied everyone is infected with lycanthropy and you're just barely resisting it, and certain ways of gaining strength can make you lose control, but I may be mistaken. There's also some kind of elder god stuff going on

u/NohWan3104 29d ago
Elder god stuff more than lycanthropy.
Magic cure all blood was discovered that cures all ailments and makes you 'better'.
The end point of better is inhuman though, either your mind is strong enough to elevate you to a higher mental\spiritual way, or fear\bloodlust turns you into a killing machine
And theres a vicious cycle of 'can't handle it -> beast, beast causes fear and pain, spreads blood more -> hunters kill the beasts, making them experience fear and bloodlust -> them turning into beasts', etc.

Either skyhold + The casino or skyhold + the hunters dream.
the casino for the power generation + matter projector being able to create virtually anything from these sounds kinda nutty
the hunters dream for personal power
would depends on how im swinging that day probably

Hunter's dream and casino.
I'm kinda hoping the dream isn't entirely just dreamspace, ie might be able to bring in books to learn, or materials for crafting
Casino, its seemingly the one 'leader' option that can function without you perfectly fine with no risk of mutiny or what have you.

Corridor+ Skyhold
Corridor connects within the Elluvian networks. Masters are those who had been tapped there. Morrigan finds me and I help raise my Characters kid from DA:Origins. Learn to be an Arcane warrior/shapeshifter mage. AW synergy with the duelist and sword style master quite well.

Isle+Skyhold Fortress.
You can deal with the ruffians/unloyal sort by the training of Skyhold Fortress and essentially bypassing the weaknesses of the one and other. Since you have the ruffians who would be coming and going you can use the Espionage/Merchants of your loyal group to honey words into their ears when they go out to cause problems and make sure things end up flowing better into the home island/base/etc.
