Synjid Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) So... Ephraim died of overexposition on ch 15, from an unlucky javelin (he had around 15~20% chance of death on the whole turn). Well, bad RNG is no excuse, and moments like this happen in every run I guess. But what should I do with my save now? When starting my run, I planned to do no resets at all (which I didnt do), and to delete my save should a game over occur. Now the thing is... I really dont wanna delete my save and start all over. On the one hand, the point of my run was to do something a little more realistic and dramatic than your everyday "reset-whenever-someone-dies" run, and to spare myself the task of restarting some maps because of silly mistakes. On the other, resetting from the beginning would be exactly that : doing the same maps all over again, just because of one blunder (and bad luck) . To be honest, I'd keep playing without Ephraim if I could, but you gotta respect plot armor, amirite? So there it is. What would you do in my situation? What do you guys think I should do? Its my first time getting a game over in ironman, so i'd be interested to know what's your opinion on this. EDIT : after careful consideration, I decided to delete my save and restart completely. I didnt want to restart ch 15 just to bench Ephraim.After all, its only 14 chapters to redo, and it fits better the spirit of ironman imo ; thats what "game over" means originally, right?

DarkDestr0yer61 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Finish the playthrough, but dont use Ephraim at all except to seize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would still take a mandatory slot in my army though. Besides, can't Eirika seize instead of him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDestr0yer61 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 It depends on which route you did, i think. Eirika can only seize if you did her route and Ephraim can only seize if you did his route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synjid Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm on Eirika's route, so I should be fine anyway Besides, I think the story could even still make sense if we imagine that Eirika took her brother's bracelet after he died. I don't remember Ephraim himself being absolutely necessary to the story apart for inheriting the throne... But well, it's my first time doing Eirika's route, so I might be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ore no stando da Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Depends how hardcore you wanna be. In my opinion a full iron man run means no restarts, and if you get game over, well it's game over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
