I love the vibe that all these people are trying to be friends with Soren and he is just annoyed by them not leaving him alone. Popular against his will.

They really captured his personality perfectly.

Soren hates and honest I love that for him.

Also he doesn't call anyone subhuman in this game (that I know of) so that's a plus.

I don't remember, does Soren ever get to find out his own backstory or is it all cutscenes of people musing offscreen about "that guy looked familiar, could he be... nah".

I know one part involves making him fight his own mother in a type matchup that would almost certainly get him killed unless you're carefully doing it on purpose because you heard it did something.

No, he never finds out.

Also, the spoiler has nothing to do with his backstory. In fact, no one fights his mother at all, she's all cutscenes.

Huh, I wonder what I'm remembering then? I know there's some plot conversation you can get that requires throwing a very squishy person against a very strong opponent.

It's been far too long since I played those games.

More or less. A lot of Soren's backstory is reading between the lines and viewing conversations with people while Soren is not present. Ike and Micaiah kinda find out a few things while talking with Almedha, Soren's biological mother. But Soren himself never gets the explicit truth that he's Ashnard's son told to him. Also, I don't believe you ever fight Almedha, since she's depowered and cannot transform into her dragon form due to loving Ashnard. You might be thinking of yeeting Pelleas at Soren, which requires a NG+ run to even attempt because saving Pelleas is locked behind NG+.

That's Ike. And it's only "squishy" because, well, the enemy is the black knight long before you're supposed to be fighting him.

The steps for the scene are make Soren fight Micaiah in 3-7, don't kill Pelleas (making this second playthrough or later only), make Soren fight Pelleas in 3-Final, and keep both Soren and Pelleas alive until the end of the game.

Like Supremezero said, you may be thinking of making Ike fight the Black Knight in a map where he's liable to die, because Radiant Dawn is the game full of obscure lore bits that are basically designed to just be looked up online later.

Ashnard also gives a whole speech about his motivations if you let him attack Reyson in Path of Radiance.

It's not particularly thrilling (he's a big time Social Darwinist), but I don't remember it coming up anywhere else.

I think it was either that or Pelleas. Over the years it had just shifted as memories do and now ran face-first into "that didn't happen" whiplash.

Palleas is an enemy when you fight him, and I'm pretty sure Soren, at base, could survive him just fine for one fight.

Technically getting Soren in range to fight Micaiah if you don’t have a siege tome at hand puts him at risk of getting attacked by the BK if he hasn’t moved yet but you can also rescue and sing chain him out of there after attacking her if that’s the case.

Other note:

On the one hand, I was not expecting Entrap staves to return, far less on a fog map.

On the other hand, for a mage to Entrap Chloe is a real 'you're locked in here with me' move. :v:

The only problem with the Pelleas fight is getting to him before the kill count ends the map, since he’s all the way into the corner on the opposite side of the starting zone. You can still do it if you have a trained Soren and are very aggressive with your advance though. The actually fight is lol between Soren’s probable speed, resistance, the fact wind is so much lighter than dark tomes, and the fact that the magic triangle means barely anything.

That said you can also be smarter than I normally am and save two uses of Calil’s Meteor tome to make your life easier for both conversations.

That and you can't move into tiles you don't have vision on in fog maps. Sigurd boosted Chloe got the chests on one side of the room, but my plan of luring him away from the gang that turn with Jade didn't work and instead he targeted Merrin who promptly critted his face off.

Ok, I'm on chapter ten and this game has been giving me a weird vibe. The emblems are sentient, right? Marth must have gone insane waiting a thousand years for me to wake up. Ouch. Are they prisoners? Like did we summon the original or a copy from their other works? But also do they want to go back? But also the protagonist sees them as objects, so maybe they're just like star wars droids. And when they're all kidnapped he says give them back, back like objects. Anyways, the fell drain took my rings but not my bracelets so maybe I'll stop kill'em all anyways that's my first take with only half paying attention. I've adopted like fifteen dogs. They give me steel.

Emblems are sentient, not prisoners, and not the original, they're a copy.
