Ha, that's amazing. I didn't know you could barge in then barge back out. Incredible. Edit: Oh! Another update. drat, didn't know things got that brutal when you lost. I liked this chapter because having a bunch of giant dudes slam fools over and over felt satisfying after the misery of Rook's crew. I never lost any second wave fights, and don't recall them being particularly challenging. Maybe they changed it since I played? That was way back when the game first came out.

I never put that Eyvind reference together, despite loving his work! How shameful of me.

That part with the mountain splitting in half and the snake is very exciting in action.

The Nothing from The Neverending Story is ready for round two! Is Alette's imagination powerful enough to stop it?

I've never seen what happens when you stay, so do that. Uh... 3 days, I guess. We're living through a fairy tale, that's a fairy tale number.

I think Ekkill is an interesting character. Pretty useful in combat, too.

The game is very clearly built around Alette, a lot more interesting stuff happens with her. But they did a good job with Rook. The two paths are worth playing through, especially making different choices... like at the end...

This part is so loving cool. I can't believe this game didn't do well.

Since it's not that compelling, if Alette doesn't go wizard she gets +1 range. Which is admittedly pretty sweet, but like. C'mon. Magic.

She can also tank world ending serpent attacks, so I think Juno is above such petty details.

I get the feeling trying to force a contingent of horseborn out the walls will be... taxing.

It's funny, Thrashers are really good in the free multiplayer game that me and sixteen other people played. But the axe brothers are just so completely outclassed by, well, everyone else.

The game is self-aware of how bad its AI is, so your units being AI offscreen obviously leads to their deaths.

Think you might need to get your apostrophe key checked, Fairgame. Unless you're doing a fun "the darkness is corrupting me" thing.

Speaking of, seems like they kind of retconned Bersi. Or at least, he has a very strange way of wording things. In the first game he's just "all I care about is protecting Ludin", he's full ride-or-die with him. Then he up and bails on that in the second game, and now apparently he was with Ubin? Isn't that Gunnulf?
|
# ¿ Oct 15, 2018 22:18 |

Right, I remember that, I'm just saying wording "I once was the bodyguard for Ludin while he did the visiting the varl capitol thing" as "I worked as a tax collector". I mean, like, sure, he did both, but that's... burying the lead, I guess?

A! This is very interesting, I just played through the game myself and I didn't see this part. Curious.

Ah, wow, I had no idea about the days left/content thing. That would explain my run of the game! I had something like 30 days to complete the quest, and did. I never went back to the city. Maybe this confirms that winning those battles in The Banner Saga 2 but still losing so many people wasn't a glitch? As a way of throwing off imported saves? That seems like an awfully gamey solution, especially considering they wrote in the "Serpent attack kills half the caravan" event. Hm.

Jack2142 posted:The Serpent Attack doesn't actually kill half the caravan, it does scatter the caravan, but by the next chapter I think most of it comes back with Rugga, with some dead of course. Well, right, I'm saying maybe not do that. Rugga only finds some people, not practically (or even literally?) everyone.

# ¿ Oct 20, 2018 01:00 |

I am most disappointed with Rugga. In my run of the game I sided with him, and other than the first mission being different and maybe like two lines of dialogue the game otherwise plays out exactly the same. It was very weird to go from "hell yeah Rugga I agree down with monarchy" to "hey yo gently caress this guy".

I also got wrecked by Eyeless in survival mode, its just rough especially if you don't take a Varl tank like Griss/Mogr/Fasolt I did my first playthrough. Backbiters were great in the multiplayer mode.

Great LP! You did a wonderful job.DeathSandwich posted:So assuming you made the worst possible choice at every opportunity, what's the smallest number of heroes you can have survive to the end? I think the smallest possible number of survivors is: Oddleif Aleo Scathach Zefr (Other than the "everyone dies/everyone dies but Juno" endings, of course.)

aegof posted:Though honestly? Until my Alette died in 3, and I caught the "bring people back to life" bit, I thought it was a little weak that Oddleif survived Onef. Yeah, kind of same. Though I quite like Oddleif and am glad she survived. They did have a superhuman magic wielder with them, so, you know.
