Half the actual story of fates doesn't make sense without that dlc, including who the gently caress is lilith and why is Corrin so goddamn important

Having never touched the dlc, what do they add to the story to help it make sense?

He only get the mask after Valentia. I think they retconned it so that Conrad gave him a mask because thats what people with masks do, apparently.

I thought Echoes happened after 12.

Byleth is a Robin, it's just this time you get to pick which of three Chroms you want.

It is more Robin getting to pick between Chrom, Chrom when dealing with Gangrel, and Walhart.

That rewind feature is an interesting one. I wonder if you can only use it in your turn ala "oh poo poo, i moved my guy to the wrong position" or it can be used in enemy turn to get around "WHAT THE gently caress THAT CRIT WAS BULLSHIT".

In fact I wonder if it messes with the rng seed at all.

Everything we have seen indicates that it works like it does in Echoes. So you can only use it during your turn but you can rewind back as many actions as you want until the start of the battle. In regards to the rng it does nothing to change it.

Looking at the beast boss fight on youtube it seems as though they could be challenging to deal with due to the sheer amount of hp they have combined with an ability to attack multiple units at once.

The monsters could be a good way of giving exp to weaker units as it seems you get the kill bonus for exp every time you clear a health bar.

Just as a heads up, if the turnwheel system works like it did in previous games you can't use it if you get a game over screen.

I hope that the game recognizes that instructors taking advantage of the teacher-student power dynamic is a grave breach of trust.

Now dating other instructors, on the other hand

Considering that you can only start dating after the time skip it will be difficult to abuse a power dynamic that no longer exists.

A rumor I heard is that he only wanted to be Byleth so that he could be in Smash and gently caress with one of his ex-girlfriends so I am very much down for Byleth never showing up in Smash.

Their character trait is being somewhat terse and unemotive, though. Beep boop. Either gender has technically different personalities and lines like Awakening and Fates, though from what little I saw I couldn't really divine anything specific like fem-Morgan being a god drat menace to society.

I will not see you insult fem-Morgan like this. She was an adorable god drat menace to society.

He is a bit of an idiot so I am not surprised it took him a moment to remember that fact. It is more establishing that Petra is very much in the gently caress the old ways camp which makes her a great fit to follow Edelgard.

So I have fought two beasts and right now Edelgard is doing her best to show just how much she hates them. The first one she hit for 75 damage and while it didn't kill the thing, it was so weak that all I had to do was blow on it to finish the thing off. The second beast she hit for 126 damage and I am pretty sure they will be picking up pieces of the thing for months.

Edelgard C/C+ spoiler So when I heard the story of how all her siblings had died I initially thought that it was because there was something funky about their crest that was causing it to kill those unlucky enough to properly inherit it. Finding out that they all died in hosed up experiments was a being what the gently caress moment for me.

Also as a general note, gently caress the Death Knight and his stupidly high crit chance.

Spoiler for mission that takes place after the dance. I was so happy to see Byleth try to use the divine pulse to stop Jeralt from getting stabbed. It didn't work but still it was nice to see a game protagonist attempt to use game powers to stop plot scene bullshit.

Huh, that reminds me. I could have set up Adjudant a while ago, but I am not seeing any tabs on how to do it. I guess I am blind, but where do you do the whole thing?

Also, as for the death knight, does he have infinite range counter or something? My archer can attack from 5 range or something and through walls but he still counters?

He has a special skill that allows him to counter any non gambit attacks.

I just beat the second to last map in the Edelgard path and I learned two things. One, stacking crit chance with gauntlets is great as long as you have the strength to back it up. Two, that you have to switch out your combat arts as you can only have so many on a character.

Late game has forced me to focus on beast fights which has helped me realize just how flawed a concept the whole barrier destruction is. As the game says that you should be trying to take down all four corners but all you need is one opening and you can just tear them to shreds. Of course this makes it almost impossible to get materials from them but I can live without that headache.
