Hubert's great, I've always wondered why all these kings and emperors in fiction keep an evil chancellor at their side and now it makes sense, he's a treat.

Same but with Dorothea, she's good at being a dancer but she's even better at being a killing machine so I ended up not using dancer.

Clearly I need to make a trash unit the dancer so they won't be needed to do anything else.

God dammit. I was trying to steal the dark seal from the death knight, and I had it all planned out; I would steal and immediately afterwards kill the boss so he could never fight back (and one-shot someone). But while trying to weaken the boss before attempting the steal and final kill my guy crit him and killed him .

I'm not looking forward to doing black eagles. I love the deer and lions and I didn't kill any golden deer this run. gently caress Edelgard! (I'm sure I'll learn to love her plan and I think Hubert is going to be a lot of fun)

While I do agree things like this should be a bit more "out there" there's loving LOADS of important stuff hidden in support conversations, it's just how the game is.

Alois and Byleth's B support for me is a REALLY important one, the info there really should have been elsewhere too.

My first impression of Cyril was on the Bleagles Edelgard route where he is literally the most dangerous enemy in the game in the final level.

Dude was able to 1 round literally all of my units and was a Wyvern so getting in range was a huge pain in the rear end and required a lot of warp micro due to all the lovely terrain on the final map.

loving Catherine was less lethal and easier to handle.

Hanneman talks a little bit about his views on Edelgard's ideals and his reasons for joining her in her war, in his supports with her, if you haven't seen those.

e: Honestly it's a little disappointing that he's one of the only characters, that I had recruited at least, that actually engaged with the topic. The only others really being Lysithea, and at a stretch, Lindhardt.

Stride, gambits and also it's okay to let at least one person die. I think there's 6 of them? You get the reward for "at least half" of them living, so there's a bit of leeway.

Which is good because the assholes will throw themselves at the remainder of the demonic beasts so I lost one at the last possible second with nothing I could do

It also lets her force TWS's hand somewhat without declaring open war. They have to act, but they can't seriously act against her, giving her a chance to see their limits.

It's weird we never see Lorenz's dad, or Caspar's dad.
They're mentioned so much.

90% of my Divine Pulses were ensuring Ashe got a Deadeye crit on a crucial enemy. You have such an outrageous number of charges; smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.

The best way I can think of to do Fog of War in Gronder Field would've been something like "Edelgard uses one of the dark mages to do the Fog tactic used during the Lonato chapter" (ie: kill a hidden enemy, it goes away), followed by "you can still see where people are based on the silhouettes, but you can't see who they are unless you end your turn close enough."

Manuella really should just be siding with the church considering she is a devout believer

I assume she has dialog with Dorothea & Hanneman

Do you have to do something special to get the option to be that much of a jerk? They just ran off right away for me.

I got a BAD instruction outcome one time, and now it feels like a dream, I almost don't believe it happened.

Ferdinand's initially pretty unenthusiastic about Edelgard's whole vision for rebuilding society, but he comes up with pretty good ideas on how to make it happen once he gets talked around to it. There's a point on her route where Ferdinand can have a conversation with her that basically goes "okay, if you're really set on this whole 'abolishing the nobility' thing, there are still a bunch of important things the nobility does right now that nobody else really gets taught how to do, so how about we invent the concept of universal education"

Brigand is useful to master since Death Blow gives a free six points added to your attack. combine that with Bernie's personal ability and suddenly you've got a killing machine on your hands (at least on player phase)

Catherine IMO is the only character who gets less likable with some of her supports.

Yinlock posted:

I have a soft spot for Cyril because in the final mission of BE:E his AI went weird and he just stood around and helpfully did not kill my rear end with his 41 speed and brave axe

Eimi posted:

It really makes the pure hate Shamir has for her in the BE:E run justified.

Yinlock posted:

it's easy to forget she's a church executioner until she starts talking at length

at least shamir is upfront about it(and is actually kinda nice to the students)
