Taear posted:Can magic miss at all? I don't remember it doing Certain spells/effects explicitly have a chance to miss to balance them, most of them don't have this chance. e.g. Fredrika's "Scorch" will never miss no matter what, but Enza's Mass Lightning has a chance to miss each targeted enemy character (based on maybe luck?)

Rite of Thunderstorms can miss... but not with that trick. However it's not great against bosses in NG+ or Hard, since they usually get extra turns...

Yeah but if you can wipe out all the non-boss units and have your tanks keep the boss at bay you can gang beat the boss pretty easily. Honestly just getting rid of mages and healers makes most fights pretty free.

Cephas posted:I'd love a campaign that took off the training wheels and had a ton of difficulty variability based on your unwillingness to compromise certain principles. I could see how that could run into a bunch of design quandaries, though. I spent a lot of the early going wondering whether, if I made enough decisions that would put the livelihoods of the citizens of House Wolffort in peril, like lighting their houses on fire or picking fights for no reason other than “but it’s wrong!”, if said citizens would try to coup me or betray me.

One minor gripe I have is that I wish it showed the character portraits during dialogue. They're so nice, and you don't get to see them during the time when the characters are actually talking! edit: Also there being hidden items during exploration. What were they thinking with that? Hidden items are always annoying to deal with. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Mar 27, 2022 |

If you're talking about the hidden items, it's still annoying because you have to comb the entire map (which can be somewhat complex due to the verticality of some of the maps). I would just ignore it, but the rewards you get seem quite good (at least this early).

I like that the profile descriptions occasionally update, and that they bothered to put in a portrait of young, hot Benedict in his character story flashbacks.

Just finished Frederica's route. Gotta say, I respect the game for having the convictions( ) to kill Serenoa for real.Currently rewatching the epilogue because I forgot to check if Frederica's profile changes for it. E: It does not; that's actually a bit disappointing. Cattail Prophet fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Mar 28, 2022 |

I'm what I assume is late into chapter 5 now. I'm enjoying the story of this a good deal so far. It's nothing super complex, but I think it's executed well. I also like how easy it is to keep everyone leveled up. It seems like a single battle is generally enough to effortlessly catch a character up, since the XP is so drastically scaled up. Fangz posted:Do you not notice that all the hidden items are indicated by sparkles? I actually did start to notice that today. There's a long-ish delay between the sparkles that was preventing me from noticing them, but now that I know what to look for it's not too hard to find them.

The EXP scaling is pretty ingenious. Your exp gain per action is entirely tied to your character's level in relation to the recommended level of the map, so if you're below the recommended level you'll gain gobs of exp every time you do something and if you're above it you'll gain progressively less.

Just got to the climax decision and drat does this game pull a bug-eyed situation out of left field. Went down Frederica's route and: Benedict  One thing I was wondering -- is it possible to have a tie during 3-choice votes, and does the game do anything interesting because of it? I was thinking of trying to force one but I also enjoy playing this game without re-making decisions even when they don't go my way. So I didn't wanna risk it.

Tbh I feel like the "final form" of this is to just have character automatically be leveled up to the extent necessary at that point in the story. So with each story mission they just increase in level. Like, that's essentially what's happening now, since there's a soft-cap on leveling at any given point.

Clarste posted:I mean the final form of that is to remove levels entirely and just learn new skills based on plot progession. Nah, stat values changing over time in the context of each other keeps strategy spicey. Like Benedict's buffs for example are static bonuses on str and magic so they're nuts early but weak late.

I feel like I'm talking to everyone and everything. It is, but you need very high scores in that particular stat and to say exactly the right thing. It will straight up tell you "this person has made up their mind" if it's impossible to persuade them.

The soundtrack really nails it with the bombastic tracks.

poe meater posted:Is it more interesting to smuggle salt or telling him to gently caress off? Both lead to interesting consequences, if you want to play through the game again to get the Best Ending (it's rather recommended that you do so, because otherwise the final true ending battles will be super hard, and it's not easy to get the best ending without a guide), leave the choice of smuggling the salt to last.

It's kinda funny how Lyla has some of the bigger connections to recruits. You have Medina and Corentin ofc but that pales to like her being a mother to one character and being involved in the creation of another

I've decided that the decisions I didn't take feel too bad for me to go through and do again. This game feels a bit like Disco Elysium where I like the story a lot but I only want to see it from one direction. Of course it helps that New Game+ is a shitshow. Man I wish they did it like Three Houses! Let me start again at level 1 but with my full roster
