It's like you said earlier. Getting A-Rank in SC requires things that no sane person would think to do.

LLSix posted:What should I know before playing NWN2 for the first time? Does the game assume/work better with a particular class? I usually play wizards but if there's a bunch of dialogue locked behind picking another class I might want to play that instead. I've got the complete version from GOG but never got around to playing it. There's no special dialogue for character classes that I remember, but it's based on D&D 3.5 which means All Spellcasters, All The Time.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Ooof, that's gonna be fun when I inevitably miss just one minor thing and have to save/quit just to go back for it. One other question though; Is reuniting with Joshua going to be a very-end-game thing, or just a late-game thing? It happens at the end of Chapter 6. Then he's your second party member for the rest of the game.

Emma's deal is pretty obviously being saved for Cold Steel II, just like Joshua's deal was mostly just hinted at in Sky FC and then properly dealt with in SC

GreatGreen posted:Has anybody played Sword Coast Legends? It's on sale on Steam right now for $10 and I was wondering if anybody here knows anything about it. Personally, I've heard some complaints that it doesn't truly follow the actual D&D rule sets but I don't really care about that, I just want to know if it's a fun RPG with interesting combat and... the 4e backlash caused Wizards of the Coast to give up on ever putting effort or imagination into a D&D product again take a look at Divinity: Original Sin instead

U-DO Burger posted:Finished TiTS SC. Goddamn that Loewe battle is complete bullshit and I didn't bother trying to stick it out and win. There are at least two ways to win it: --Blow every Zeram Capsule and Powder you've got. The first time I fought Loewe was a Benny Hill skit, with one conscious party member desperately tossing a Zeram onto someone else in the instant before they got mauled. --Bring a caster with the Time Gem and Earth Guard/Earth Wall/Gaea Shield, and have them do literally nothing but cast those for the entire fight.

Slur posted:There's two quartz: one makes enemies avoid you. The other (found at the end of the game) makes it so enemies ignore you outright even when you're engaging with them. There's another that lets you see monsters at any distance. You can get it by the end of Chapter 1, and by itself it's enough to let you easily avoid fights you don't want to bother with.

The Trails series do have one recurring character who's incognito during Sky, and then Cold Steel gives away their real identity almost immediately. It's the only part of Sky that CS actually spoils.

Caphi posted:Does Trails in the Sky literally quiz you on setting factoids like "what is the population of the capital"? There's a sidequest in SC's Chapter 1 where Estelle has to lecture about bracers at a Sunday school. It's a callback to Schera's lecture about bracers at the very beginning of FC. Most of the answers you need to know are right on the front page of your bracer notebook. Cold Steel is the one with all the quizzes about setting factoids.

Ciaphas posted:Also the "what should I know thread" hasn't answered, are there any major gotchas to ToCS if I end up playing that? One of Cold Steel's supporting characters is also in Trails in the Sky, and their identity is a bit of a spoiler. I don't know that CS will be any less repetitive than Odin Sphere--probably more so. I've never played any of the Ateliers so I can't speak to them.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Just quoting this again as I took the advice to heart with a PlatinumSukamon and holy poo poo the XP I'm getting now *the hellish clattering sound of your entire party gaining forty levels at once* Each Platinum Bonus and Tactician USB on your three Battle Digimon is an extra +100% base experience, and they'll all stack. I never bothered with training because it seemed like all the best digivolutions need really high ABI and CAM. The poops don't get any strong attacks by default, but I think you can digivolve to Etemon for Nightmare III, and digivolve to PlatNumemon from there.

That's basically a puzzle fight, where you have to survive his uber-attacks long enough for him to say "Such power..." or something, and then you can one-shot him. Jesmon has a special move that makes him invulnerable for a round. Put some SP boosts on him and you're good to go.
