I love the "History Channel Miniseries" vibe this whole game gives off

After posting my last comment I picked my Community rewatch back up and the first episode was "Pillows & Blankets" so now this game will forever be about Troy and Abed to me

I think it would be interesting to see a hero balance Morality and Utility

I've had the game less than a year, but I remember being so excited by the first Exploration Phase. It's so rare to be able to wander around like that in a strategy RPG and is my big issue with the genre as a whole

There's a few important things that you might want to look ahead for and keep in the back of your mind, but for the most part it's consumables

dude789 posted:I believe Bulwark and Raging Beast give give flat increases to the stats they boost so they are very handy in the early game but fall off later as the boosts get relatively smaller as stats increase. As a result I find that Benedict falls off a little bit in the mid game as Now and Twofold Turn aren't enough on their own to justify bringing him. As you mentioned, Dragon Shield is a game changing ability for him. A slight correction on it's effect, Dragon Shield blocks one instance of damage rather than making the affected characters invincible for their entire turn. In TS turn efficiency is so important that trading one of Benedict's turns to potentially cancel out 5 enemy actions is incredibly powerful. It's also possible to waste the shield in a variety of bone headed ways which I've done on several occasions and is always kind of funny. I felt the same way. Benedict kinda isn't as useful in the midgame, but later on if you set him up to open every fight with Dragon Shield he skyrockets back to the top. It's great for getting squishy mages just a liiiiiiitle further up to smite some baddies

Natural 20 posted:I'm putting a pin here because there's just so much cool stuff to talk about when it comes to Frederica's position and family but we just don't know enough about them yet. The only thing any bio under either of those two needs to say is "is a dick". Unless the bio is under both of them in which case it needs to say "are dicks"

JustJeff88 posted:It's a fantasy RPG and they're rich aristocrats not controlled by the player. We knew this before we even met them for the first time. I have been sitting here for longer than I care to say trying to come up with a witty reply to prove good NPC aristocrats are fairly common and I have created an extensive list. -Killgore from Breath of Fire II -Balbanes from Final Fantasy Tactics Between them they have almost 3 whole minutes of screentime!

I feel like it should be mentioned that, outside of a handful of choices, persuading someone to change their mind results in a "That's actually a good point" response instead of "Fine, I GUESS we should do what Serenoa wants to do". Like, they actually weigh your thoughts against theirs

Frederica and a character we meet later on were almost always dispatched in my game because they are amazing snipers. Knocking out a couple enemies early on is incredibly useful here because there tends to be some bad guys right near you at the beginning of battles and it gives you a little breathing room to set up strategies

I really like Erador because he may not be book smart, but he has good instincts and draws conclusions based off them. A nice change from the typical dumb tank, and even the "dumb tank with occasional deep insight"

Erador is just a lot of fun. Tanks in SRPGs tend to be disappointing because they're slow and don't move much, but they gave him an interesting workaround by making enemies come to him

It could easily cause a war between all three countries, each side with different plans. A triad of tactics, you could say

Narve actually ended up my MVP. He was in drat near every battle in my first playthrough. Spark is a great snipe shot and the other Spark user shows up later (I'm unsure of her exact requirements but she came much later for me) and his Sanctuary isn't as strong as Geela's but can definitely make the difference in a pinch. He makes a great duo with Julio

I really love how this game deals with shades of gray. Nothing is black and white when it comes to these choices. Hell, even Roland is on board with giving up Roland

OOrochi posted:Yes, to both, sort of. The people in the next update will be a good bit more upbeat, and none of the homes will be burnt down. All of the buildings will have items in them at one point or another in future explorations, and if a building is burnt during this fight, it stays burnt for a while and we miss out on those. I was curious if you knew about that and was wondering how you'd go about this battle

Quackles posted:I managed to beat the battle without using the traps, but only by virtue of using some grade A Glenbrook cheese. When I realized the course of things, I targeted the archers and healers... One thing I love about this game is not only are the Archers useful (a rarity in strategy RPG's), but they're all different
