WOOOOOOOOO!! @Saint Rubenio now spill the beans (on the choices I didn’t pick (the top one and the middle one, if that wasn’t obvious) Spoiler That scene at the end with Rook, Alette and Aldis kind of made Rook’s death worth it. Although I hope things aren’t too awkward with Aldis if this is the kind of afterlife where you can see what’s going on in the world, better hope she wasn’t watching Rook and Oddleif too closely. And she’s pregnant? Dang, now I feel bad for that kid, and Oddleif whenever she gets to wherever Rook’s family just was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOOOOOOOOO!! @Saint Rubenio now spill the beans (on the choices I didn’t pick (the top one and the middle one, if that wasn’t obvious) Spoiler Top one would've had Eyvind make a deal with the serpent. It would've destroyed half the world, but spared the other half, including Arberrang. It... actually works, but I mean, the serpent's still around. Kinda iffy to trust its word to the insane wizard that will die at some point and leave the world completely defenseless from it. Middle one would've had Alfrun attempt to perform the ritual. She would've succeeded, sealing Juno as Eyvind did, destroying the serpent and saving the world... but her lower power and expertise would've caused her to lose control and blow up the tower, killing the entire group, including herself and Iver. If you had failed to convince Eyvind, he would've lost his shit and just... murdered everyone. Yeah. He just straight up lightnings everybody, including Juno, and the world is consumed by the darkness. Oof. But by far the worst ending is what happens if you lose the Bolverk fight (meaning Alfrun dies) and then for some reason decide to kill Eyvind. With nobody to finish the ritual, the darkness consumes the world, but Juno is still immortal, so she is doomed to wander a destroyed world for all eternity. That's the achievement you saw that you thought were spoilers.

It would've been such a shame if your blood had died with you..." "......" Honestly though, that scene is amazing. It makes Rook and Alette's deaths feel bittersweet.

Dang, now I feel bad for that kid, and Oddleif whenever she gets to wherever Rook’s family just was. Spoiler In tbs1, Oddleif remarks that the reason she gives the banner of Skogr to Rook is that it will be safe with him and Alette, whereas Oddleif herself never had children, so it'd die with her. In the end, she ends up having a child with Rook and carrying on the banner herself.

Sooks Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Fs for the fallen: Spoiler Gunnulf Egil Alette Griss Folka Rook Bak Deirdru Krumr Final Death count is 9, unless I’m missing someone, which I kinda feel like I am. But if that’s right (and the back of the case for the physical Banner Saga trilogy is right on the amount of playable characters) I only got just under a fifth of the cast killed! Just under. 81.25% of characters survived, which is pretty good I think. That trilogy was fantastic. If anyone reading this is in the mood for an SRPG with wonderful characters, fun gameplay, a good story and a fantastic art style, Banner Saga is waiting for you. 11 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Hide contents Top one would've had Eyvind make a deal with the serpent.

That's the achievement you saw that you thought were spoilers. They could've been, had you fucked up massively. Spoiler That all makes sense. That worst ending really sucks, although it might feel worse to have killed Eyvind and been like “well, someone had to die, but ultimately the deed was done—“ and then have everyone die. But what do you mean by failed to convince Eyvind? Like, if you give all responses he doesn’t like at the end of his talk will he just… do it? Or do you have to pick the Juno didn’t want this option after having failed to convince him? You can still convince him without having taken the baby and saving the witch right? Just curious. I was less surprised at him bringing up the baby as I would have been if it hadn’t been important already, but I definitely wasn’t expecting the witch. I told him the baby still lived, which he gave a lukewarm response to, so I doubled down on the “but we saved them” options with the witch. Looks like it was good not to listen to Yrsa after all. And of course, what ending did you get, Ruben? 11 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Hide contents "Rook, explain yourself." "Aldis, listen, I-I just... after I lost Alette, I had no reason to go on...

Spoiler If you did things like not wait even a single day for Juno at Sigrholm, leave behind the baby, kill/abandon the dredge slinger in the darkness, give him the wrong answers to questions, etc. the man will become increasingly angry, and the text right before you're given the three choices reflects that. If you try "this isn't what Juno wanted" at this point, he flips out at your insolence, becomes furious and starts to throw lightning at everything around him, killing... literally the entire world in the process. 14 minutes ago, Sooks said: Spoiler You can still convince him without having taken the baby and saving the witch right?

Spoiler You need to get a set amount of... let's call them "convince points" for the good ending to be attainable. If the baby was left behind, it is impossible to get a point from that.

Looking back, I'm pretty sure I got exactly enough points to save the world from saving the slag slinger, waiting for Juno and giving him one right answer to something else. One really cool detail is that, just as the text reflects when Eyvind is mad (too little points) or convinced (a ton of points), it also reflects when you've got just enough points that he can be persuaded. The text describes him as doubtful, no longer sure about what he's doing, but still not certain he wants to stop. In that case, it feels like it could go either way, which makes the choice even more intense. Thankfully, tugging at his heartstrings with the Juno line worked for me. 14 minutes ago, Sooks said: And of course, what ending did you get, Ruben? Spoiler The good ending, just barely. Phew!

FE4 has no drugs, 4th wall breaks and most certainly not "a lot of references". Also no yuri, sadly. It also takes itself mostly pretty seriously, so the "gag manga" tag seems really farfetched. Also no Polygamy. Even counting the Thracia retcon, Beowulf was already dead as a doornail when Lachesis got together with Finn. And that Fergus theory is really stretching it. So the only tags that could be correct are "harem", "incest" and "pedophiles". Edited June 12, 2021 by BrightBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, it feels like it could go either way, which makes the choice even more intense. Thankfully, tugging at his heartstrings with the Juno line worked for me. Spoiler Ohhh! I completely forgot you could choose to wait for Juno at Sigrholm. I was confused when Eyvind brought that up because he made it sound like I didn’t wait at all and the first option was “but we did wait”. I’m guessing I did since that was there, but I honestly don’t temper what I chose there, it feels like an eternity I go. Yeah, I guess I had quite a few “convince points” from saving the baby, saving the witch, saving the stoneslinger and apparently waiting at Sigrholm. I also got rid of all my supplies at the beginning of the second game so he wouldn’t die, but maybe a side effect of literally conjuring a land bridge is amnesia. See my main conflict was what the text in my game said, something like “Eyvind looks like he’s convinced” or something like that, because that made me think I was just supposed to trust him and the Juno line would be overboard, and could either make the serpent so tired of being ignored that it would attack, or make him go “You we’re doing this for the world, not Juno!!!1!!!!11!!1!” or something. Luckily I decided to go for it instead of trusting him. 8 minutes ago, Maof06 said: Do I want to know what guro is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
