Finally got to Merrin and honestly I’m kinda mad that she isn’t the main character.

Merrin, when I get a collectible postgame: "We should find a place for that in Cere's archive!" Uh, Merrin, you might have forgotten a couple of things that happened...

Slashrat posted:Heads-up to people that have finished the main story, there is a number of force echoes relating to Bode that appear sprinkled across the different planets after you complete the story, but they never get marked on your map like other collectibles do, so you have to go hunting for them the hard way. I finished the game and found that out the hard way. I got all the trophies, collected every single thing, but still sitting at 98% because of databank entries and character entries on Koboh. I'll just wait for someone else to find them and list them. There are some pretty cool ones. If you go back to Garron, there's force echoes detailing Cal's rampage through the facility when he tapped into the dark side. Some other thoughts, all relating to end game spoiler stuff: Vader fight was my favorite boss. He is slow and lumbering but he hits loving hard. The third phase was great because then he starts speeding up as he just wants to get the fight over with and kill you. I love his "WHAT?!" when you dodge his grab move. In the next game, Cal has to have a proper fight with him, right? Cal's gonna want revenge. Also the next game has to get into his brush with the dark side. While that vision he had in Fallen Order won't exactly come true because toe holocron was destroyed, he could still fall down that dark path. He tapped into it, but hasn't had that 'moment' where he has to choose. Definitely can't wait for the next game. The only complaint I have is I wish they fleshed out Bode more. I know they wanted us to feel sympathetic since he was doing bad things to protect his daughter, but it still rang a little hollow. I dunno how to fix that. It just needed a little something more.

JBP posted:I think Merrin is a fine supporting character but I don't give a poo poo what she does outside of helping a Jedi. This is where I'm at. I really like Merrin as a character, but I don't think she would make a good protagonist. In addition to her power set being really hard to balance in a video game, she also doesn't have much of an arc. She is a completely level-headed person with all her poo poo figured out, which tends to make for a boring main character. I guess they could force a conflict on her, but that would also feel kinda lame. Captain Oblivious posted:I love crossguards moveset but it looks so loving stupid I cannot Speaking of aesthetics, one of the things I low-key like about Crossguard is the way it looks like your belt when paired with Blaster stance. Like, on Cal's literal belt. With any other stance combo, you end up with superfluous equipment. Like, if you go Single and Blaster, your saber is still the Double-Bladed on your belt. And if you go something like Double and Dual, you still got the unused Blaster hanging there. Because Crossguard has that little end-cap to extend the grip it's the only one that looks right hanging on your belt. It's a crazy small detail, but one I find satisfying.

I already don't want the third game to be about Cal's struggle with the dark side, but that seems inevitable with out this game played out. I really don't want Vader to be the final boss. Star Wars spends way too much time stuck orbiting the same five or six characters. Give us new characters, and do new things! Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 04:37 on May 6, 2023 |

Is there any penalty if you pick the wrong choices when you're mind-tricking a guy? Letting them talk for a few seconds always makes it really obvious what psychological button to push, but I've been wondering.JBP posted:I think Merrin is a fine supporting character but I don't give a poo poo what she does outside of helping a Jedi.

Let story writers have nice things.” I think it comes up in other Star Wars media that force sensitive can hide their presence with the right training. And it kinda has to be that way for most stories about them to work. Like, I can't imagine Bode would last very as an imperial agent if any inquisitor he passed by could sniff him out.

I too love this, but it looks really dumb if you pair crossguard with dual or double because Cal will constantly be swapping the switch and emitter off for the pommel he keeps up his sleeve. Cross and single rocks because he force sucks the battery off his belt and onto the sword when he needs it to go brr.

Boring is maybe too strong a word, but she does lack a character arc which is fine for the supporting cast but less so for a main character. Again, I'm sure they could manufacture an arc to suit her, but I like her current deal of having everything worked out to her satisfaction and would prefer they don't screw that up. Also, making her the main character risks taking back down Dark Forces' troubled path of too many colons. Star Wars: Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

On PC, is there a way to sheathe your lightsaber while using your first equipped stance? Hitting C always switches to your second stance before it lets you sheathe it.

Veteran Jedi: THIS IS TRIAL IS SOOOO HARD I AM EXHAUSTED. *The trial is just a basic rear end moving block puzzle* Look I get that not every Jedi was a Yoda or an Obi'wan...but I am starting to see why Order 66 killed almost all of them. Also, I am at the part where I am about to leave for Jedah. Is Fort Kah'lin someplace I will be visiting anyway or should I try to explore it? I am getting vibes that it is a main quest related area.

Blaster stance actually seems quite good, even with no points invested. I wasn't expecting to like it, but it seems really good at keeping enemies off balance. I would just alternate between using the lightsaber and shooting the blaster and it would lock down guys in situations where I'd normally need to counter/dodge their attacks. Also, I think my issue with parrying was the thing someone else mentioned where holding down LB for any time at all fucks up the recovery time. Now that I'm just tapping it I seem to be having an easier time. Dpulex posted:lol at the "Merrin is a teleporting witch but she wouldn't make a main character because she's boring" takes. As if Cal is especially interesting without the much better secondary characters around him. Cal is one of the deepest characters to ever be depicted in fiction. Entire scholarly papers could be written about just facets of his personality. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 09:25 on May 6, 2023 |

I feel like Jedi should have an unarmed fighting style*. Seems to make more sense than something like the crossguard style and fits with their whole "theme" of being peaceful or whatever. * I know they do as some EU thing, but I don't know if it shows up outside of that

I always thought that how Cal recruited Merrin in the first game was kind of silly. "You've just murdered everybody in my entire village! And looted all our valuables!" "I know, sorry, but I really need your help." "Oh, well, okay then. I'll join your crew."

I dunno if they ever mention it in Fallen Order, but as I recall, Dathomirian men live in a separate society and are regarded more as slaves and beasts of burden by the Nightsisters. So, uhh, Merrin might not have even thought of them as people due to her upbringing.
