Cut Content - Hiraki Corale Codices

Yeah. I think this is one of the places where holes from the beta lore changes show the most.

I think the thing that always interests me the most about his lore is you can see it's all the same story but the books mentioning anything cut were removed and the story was just left with holes.

It looks fine to me. I can make a standalone version of the mod that uses it and doesn't have the old codices if you want.

Well, it's not official, but here's the closest I could get: https://i.imgur.com/1JDI9kD.png

Yeah, I think it was based on the initial design of Hiraki Corale. If there is official sprite art of her current look that I am not aware of let me know.

I don't really agree about the Protectorate at all, and in terms of lore, the Protector's quest isn't actually known to the galaxy at large.

Still, this mod's lore issues aside (what with the Glitch hivemind, or Greenfinger and Big Ape as specific individuals no longer being a thing)...

There's some other feedback I'd like to give: The sprite used for the icon is outdated, even in terms of beta. It was just a concept that differs greatly from the final design.

Yeah, I know they were in the beta, even early Koala builds. I could have used "current" and not "new" when describing them, but whatever. Just like the new/current lore, the old lore had its own problems. It did have (subjectively) bad things like the Glitch hive mind, but nothing like the Protectorate. They are the single biggest issue I have with the new lore. The old lore did not make the player basically the most important thing in the universe. It also painted a darker picture overall than the new. The shift to make the game go from T to E 10+ did not help with the later part.

Also, you don't need to use this mod unless you play on a server with it installed. If you want only the codex tab portion of it a standalone version would not be hard to make.

@jss2a98aj: Ehh, whatever. None of that is canon anymore, and frankly, I feel it's best for it stay that way.

@Locozi: Are you for real? There was this whole thing about the Glitch hivemind that (thankfully) got completely scrapped.

And this mod brings back the worst of it, lmao. "Roles are being swapped around and there are no rulers" is fucking bullshit for a simulated medieval civilization.

Also, you guys do realize that the current Hiraki codexes were in the beta too, right?

@Some random nerd, I frankly can't find anything like what you're describing. The Glitch lore has only gotten small bits chopped off so you're basically saying the current lore is bad too, and Hiraki is the archetypal Clueless Adventurer in the old codices, which I will point out is exactly how the character is supposed to be written.

"Hiraki Corale is a Hylotl adventurer extraordinaire, famed for her bravery, tenacity, sunny can-do attitude, and stunning obliviousness as to just how much trouble she causes."

The Hiraki described in the new codices is a fairly bland and average individual, with some obliviousness tagged on occasionally almost as an afterthought with the possible exception of the 'La Resistance' codex. On top of that, the new Corale lore is lacking in most anything interesting or engaging. While the same could be said for the old lore, it at least made up for that with Hiraki's hilariously over-the-top luck and cluelessness.

I think it is just a part of the over-the-top depiction of how blissfully unaware Hiraki is of who her “friends” really are, and of the consequences of her actions. She doesn’t even seem to be aware of the depth of the situations she gets into.
Some of the old codex entries, when paired with the new ones, such as “A Pleasant Town” and “The Silly Miniknog” make it feel like her character has developed, if only slightly, towards being less unaware of things.
