    Have you ever let the actions of a company prevent you from buying a game or purchasing from them?

    The only thing I have to say on this topic:

    There are far, far, far worse thing going on in the world than greedy companies doing shady, greedy things.

    I disagree, considering that greedy companies doing shady, greedy things is resulting in the destruction of the planet's entire ecosystem as we speak. But that's a topic for another time.

    Well, it was still the next step. And well, Roosevelt still brought an almost century long occupation of the Panama Canal.

    Minor foreign intervention was always a thing in US politics, you could say it goes back to Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary War of 1801. Wilson's innovation was that we had to stay in these countries and try to "build a democracy" or whatever.

    I know that. It was an admittedly half-joke comment, since I'm a Mexican.

    The one who started it was Theodore Roosevelt. The charge of San Juan Hill was only a sign of things to come for my region...

    Theodore was more of a "hit them with a big stick, then leave" guy. Compare that to Wilson's intervention in Nicaragua (lasted for eight years) and his occupation of Haiti (went on for nearly twenty years). Started a bad habit that we are still dealing with given our presence in Afghanistan and Iraq.

    I'm obliged to say James K. Polk was among the worst.

    Maybe not the best as a person, but you do have to admire his effectiveness. He was the only president to fulfill all of his inauguration promises.

    I'd have to put Woodrow Wilson as one of the worst. Horrible racist, massive authoritarian, and basically started the trend of long-term American interventionism in poorer countries.

    Walhart dont stand a chance against those two. But between Alm and Edelgard its a bit hard. both have a brand and crest. Edelgard hit very hard but Alm also have versatility. But like Jotari said Sword > Axe gives a big advantage

    Although it's worth noting that neither of Alm's or Edelgard's games even have the weapon triangle

    Nonbinary gender options

    For your gender, you are only allowed to select "Male", "Female", and "Undisclosed", which is heavily limiting to people like me who have identities that fall outside of those categories. There should at least be a "Nonbinary" option to pick as your gender, as well perhaps some of the more specific identities (such as "Agender", "Genderfluid", etc.)

    Debate Day: Favorite Part about Awakening? Least Favorite Part?

    The one area where I felt this game shines above other FEs is certainly the characters. At first, they all seem like generic anime tokens, but in every support conversation, I learned something new about them. It definitely gives me the incentive to replay in order to get all the support conversations I missed. Many people say that the game had too many supports, but I strongly disagree. There may be one or two characters I'm not particularly fond of, and the villains (aside from maybe Gangrel and a couple of minor bosses) weren't too great, but I still consider the Awakening cast to be my favorite.

     

    And yeah, definitely the "difficulty" was the worst part of the game. Success in Lunatic+ is not dependant on tactics, skills, or preparation, it depends on how many Luna+ enemies the game decides to throw at you.

    A battle with multiple enemy armies. Okay, we've had these before, but I want one where the enemy armies are fighting each other as well as you. If you give some of the enemies good items or have recruitable units, it would make approaching the map interesting, as you'd have to get to the character before the enemy kills them but also making sure you don't get surrounded. In addition, such a map could have a large number of enemy units without being unbearably tedious.

    When did Fates plot stop working for you?

    For Conquest, it was the events at Cheve. It really made me not like the main character.

     

    In Revelations, it was ruined at the very start when both sets of siblings decide to attack you for no apparent reason. It immediately broke my suspension of disbelief, and made me more susceptible to the horribly illogical plot.

    What if Chrom became the conqueror after defeating Walhart? 

    Well, they basically destroy the leadership of Plegia, and they're right next to the leadership of Ferox, meaning that if Chrom wanted to, there would be little stopping him. Although, to prevent a major insurgence, Valm would probably be a puppet state led by Say'ri.

     

    What if Plegia didn't help Ylisse during the war with Valm?
