Commentary
I chose the spelling I did for "Dea ElSee" because I looked into other potential spellings and whether they were in use (be they names, nicknames, etc), and it was the only one I tried that came up with nothing.
Granted, spelled like that, one might feel inclined to pronounce it slightly differently, but it should at least roll off the tongue similarly, SO THERE!
In any case, yay for alchemical Tensaided! Whoo!
Personality wise, and visually, I wanted Tensaided for this role. Role-wise, one might argue it should have gone to Tedd. Consider the goggles a compromise! That accidentally happened when I wanted Tensaided to have goggles and I couldn't have them up and look good because of his hair, but still.
As for why "DLC", some of Fable 2's DLC added potions with cosmetic effects. I'm glad I got them back in the day, because I don't know how you're supposed to get them these days without actually having an XBox 360. Things are set up so you can only get 360 content on an XBox One via what's included in physical copies and/or first getting everything via an actual XBox 360, which is quite odd.
I'm assuming licensing nonsense is somehow to blame, because with something that inexplicable, I assume it's going to be something like that.

910CMX... But as far as I can tell it's been impossible to sign up for a new account for months, maybe even over a year. Another option is the unofficial EGS Discord Server: https://discord.gg/TfzPVag

Reddit has a thriving EGS forum, and there's the 501X... whatever forum that used to be linked to by the main page IIRC?

My players nearly lynched me for having them meet a woman named Dee Elsie Vitale in my Cthulhu game. She was a secretary at the law firm of Dewey, Swindle, and Howe.

I suppose that there is an EGS forum somewhere, but it would be nice to be able to comment on the main strip as well as NP here.

FWIW the original BioWare Social download servers might be gone, but the DLC installers are still available from EA via an FAQ page called "Download and buy DLC for classic Origin games". But yes, I know the pain.

HELL YEAH, COSMETICS! Gotta get dem Skins Man! The only time I've ever had a situation like that is with Rock Band, in later games, if you had a save file from previous games, you could get some extra songs. I had early games on PS2 that had versions on PS3, but I didn't want to rebuy games when I got the latest game/a PS3, so I got used versions from Gamestop, got their data & returned them to the store within a week.

I'm very interested in where this is going.

I'm interested in seeing just what kind of cosmetic potions Susan chooses to use. :)

This issue with DLC on Fable 2 reminds me of the massive pain in the patoot it was to get DLC for Mass Effect 1 on PC. Even for the *free DLC* there was this long process of creating an account on some site, and then some other dumb stuff, and then you finally downloaded the installer for the DLC. I decided to just keep all the installers (there were like 4 or 5), so that I could re-install the DLC the next time I decided to play the game. And this came in VERY handy, because the servers that hosted those DLC installers are now LONG dead.
