I, meanwhile, will use my amazing people skills to negotiate an end to any tension without excessive bloodshed.  Failing that, I'll probably run with red team but voted for blue in the poll because I figured red team was going to run away with the vote.

So, seriously, what the gently caress does 'Chaos' mean? I read the thread, I know it's an SMT reference (for some reason when Tactics Ogre is -right there-), but I can't tell which BE route you all are referring to at a glance and I'm trying my best to avoid spoilers since the writing is actually pretty good for once. Is that the following Edelgard route or not?

Hunt11 posted:It means siding with Edelgard over the church. Radio Free Kobold posted:It's the one where you side with Edelgard, yes. Ah, that makes sense, thanks. I wanted to talk about the plot and didn't want to assume which path is which and barf out spoilers for another route. Since I went with Edelgard and went Law anyway. I really like that route. Unfortunately I didn't keep up with the pre-release hype and tricked myself into thinking there would be similar 'law' routes for the Lions and Deer, the fact that there aren't is mildly disappointing, but I generally like what I got anyway.

Fire Emblem, you were doing so good with the minimal fanservice, only to fumble at the end game. I probably should've seen it coming when I S-ranked Dorothea, I guess.

Wanderer posted:I wonder if there's something genuinely hosed up with how critical hits work in this version of the game. They do seem to be popping up way more often than the numbers would indicate. In my Blue Lions NG+ round Annette has never not crit and her max crit rate so far is like 8%. She has stolen so many kills. Speaking of NG+ I am already drowning in tea leaves when does tea time open back up? I feel like they should open up all the things you do with time when you start a New Game.

Augus posted:Edelgarde is a traitor and a jerk  fadam posted:I'm digging the Church route a lot so far, but if I have one complaint its that whenever you're given a dialogue choice to talk about Edelgard, all the responses seem to position you as somewhat reluctant to fight her. She's the worst and I want the game to acknowledge my righteous indignation with her!! Yeah this. I had a similar time going through the Church route. I didn't care to rescue Rhea, all I cared about is putting Edelgard in a shallow grave for starting a pan-continent war and the large number of times she's put the Black Eagle House in danger.

Augus posted:The story of this game would be a lot better if the ancient cult of immortal baby-eaters didn’t exist and Thales was just another corrupt noble I'm actually going to go farther and say that, along with the Slitherers, Rhea should have been a minor character, at best, and the conflict should have been about, y'know, the titular Three Houses. Instead it's One House vs. the Church and maybe a Second, while the Third House is a super-minor player even in its own route. (yes I am aware it's not called Three Houses in Japan).

The game failed to convince me that the Slitherers were actually a threat to Fodlan. That said given that (2nd part spoilers) Edelgard allied herself freely to ...uh, the people who tortured her? it's dumb that the resolution was oh the game is over and we dealt with them off screen yay.

Basileus777 posted:The real awkward thing about Silver Snow is the Black Eagle students sticking with you for no real reason. There's plenty of reason for them sticking with Byleth (specifically Byleth) and not Edelgard. Edelgard is Queen of Not Telling People Anything. The moment she invades the tombs, her classmates are all in constant states of 'WTF?' since her deciding to kick off a war and invade a tomb came out of nowhere. Edelgard doesn't give anyone time to really think about anything and kicks people out the door if she even thinks they might go against her. One of Ferd's early lines in SS is that he basically lived as a fugitive up until the first timeskip mission. Some BE characters (Lindhart) have little to no reason, but Ferdinand, Dorothea, Bernie, Petra, and Caspar have some reason. Especially since she tells none of them what's coming. What they should've done is have some BE members disappear and fight against Team Byleth, like Ashe and Lorenz do if you recruit them outside of their main houses.

galagazombie posted:Eh, in the Eagles route she pretty explicitly tells you she's just here for the rocks and to just hang around till she's finished. It's only really the game forcing you (because they couldn't shorten the route anymore and needed to reuse the level) to attack her that makes the situation violent. That whole level really should have had the choice to help/oppose Edelgard before the map and have a reverse version like the Monastery attack did where you grab crest stones and fight church soldiers. There's something to be said about the other named character she brings along that really, really wants to kill you. I agree with your last sentence, though.

I only really recruit the teachers and Alois, as someone who appreciates Dad Jokes. And I figure he'd want to stick by Byleth. Except now my plan is to recruit Bernadetta in every route, because Bernie's treatment through AM is terrible. Sorry that Edelgard set your platform on fire! And extremely sorry that Edelgard repays your senseless sacrifice by letting your dad back into the club. That last one was so terrible it wrapped around to being hilarious.

Airspace, is it worth doing Silver Snow? Do you - Enjoy Seteth a lot, up to and possibly including the memey Seteth? if so, then - Have you done Verdant Wind? if you have not, then enjoy Silver Snow Personally it ended almost perfectly for my tastes, the terrible dragon Pope and the terrible warmonger both die. Best of both worlds. (Also I learned that Ctrl-I italicizes stuff in a post, if you take anything from my post, there it is)

not a bot posted:How about all the lord are shitbirds and no matter who ends up winning the continent is going to the dogs? This. Edelgard even demonstrates in the very first mission! That said no opinion is wrong, except for the ones who think it's bad writing for characters to not join Edelgard. Everyone in the BE house has good reason to go 'you know, Edelgard is wrong'. Conversely, everyone not of the BE house has good reason to join Edelgard if you recruit them. Strength of character writing, right there.
