Oh.

Is it ever explained by the way how the royals got their special weapons?

Nope. Leo has murder trees because he has them.

know this is from forever ago for this topic, as in "yesterday", but commenters have suggested it isn't Igavania. It's "Classicvania", Circle of the Moon, not Ritual of the Night. Having a timer in the upper right corner makes no sense for an Igavania, but for an old school action-platformer a timer is old-timey.

Ahh, huh.

Well, still. I hope the writing is bad.

Are you sure the enjoyment won't be from watching us watch you say "third time ain't the charm, the franchise sure ain't for me"? Choose wisely, you needn't entertain us.

No, I've had about enough awkwardness. Dread alwyas looked more like I'd enjoy it than other Metroids. I just wasn't sure I wanted to risk the investment after past disappointments with the series. But if I get it as a bonus reward from getting rid of Houses... Not to mention, now I know it's a national product! Patriotism!

My coworker happens to be a Metroid fan. Naturally, upon noticing my interest, he immediately attempted to sabotage the project by trying to convince me I must play the entire series before Dread to get the most enjoyment out of it. I told him The Witcher series has been sitting in my Steam library untouched for half a decade because of the necessity to play 1 and 2 before 3.

He got the hint, luckily. So now he just wants me to read a short manga and that's it.

I mean, looking at series history games do kinda come in pairs, either story wise or game play style before changing

FE1 and FE3 story wise

FE4 and FE5 as well

Same with FE6 and 7, and 8 having similar gameplay style

9-10 Tellius

11/12 being 1/3 remakes

Fates taking the elements awakening introduced, expanding it and making legit great gameplay with it

3 Houses also shares gameplay Elements with Echoes, and had 3 Copes as a "follow up"

Going by series history we should get something new next

Like no matter how much they fuck up, IS does try new stuff every couple games

May they hear you.

With all this Three Houses talk I decided to finally buy the game.

It wont arrive while I'm here but when I do get back it'll be one of the games to play along with Xenoblade.

Even this statement cannot spoil my happiness at trading it in for a good game.

I trust them on that matter. I mean they're not Mario Sports team.

Yes, that much I have to give them.

Hey @Armagon in case you haven't read my posts.

I may end up buying one of your top 10 favorite games of all time.

With spite.

Not out of spite. With spite.

Will confirm if this happens next monday.

I saw.

Well see, since I've been enjoying Mario+Rabbids, the universe requires balance. You will like Dread.

Seen Mio revealed as "M" 

And that "N" was stuck in a loop where Mio and him were separated, causing him to go crazy and side with Moebius in hopes for Eternity with her.

Poor guy, worst luck ever.

 

Xenoblade 3 Ch.6 spoilers (Shrimpy don't click)

Second spoiler box for good measure

Spoiler

The finale of Ch.5 followed by the opening plot twists of Ch.6 is just *chef's kiss*. One of the hardest emotional scenes followed up by one of the rawest reverse uno cards.

And my man Noah. "If the world holds our lives back, I will end it! It's that simple" is such an insane line.

I love that entire sequence. So satisfying to see after N forces Noah to watch "Mio" die and even telling him to send her off.

Honestly, you don't. I mean if anything, Samus Returns and Fusion are the games most relevant to Dread and even then, you don't actually need to play them, what with Metroid being very light on story. If you're like me, you'd get the most out of it sure but many many people began their Metroid journey with Dread. You'll be fine.

Yeah, I hadn't finished any Metroids before Dread and I survived, it's not story reliant.

I feel like Kirby got that talk from some too, though I doubt on the level of Elden Ring.

Imagine if Xeno 3 had been an option

...It wasn't though. They have it elsewhere, but not in the store at my city. Them's the breaks.

Anyway, that would certainly be a sweet state of affairs.

I get where he's coming from. He means well, but... Frankly, all I want is to run around and shoot things in a game that hopefully doesn't struggle with the same issues as the other Metroids I've played.

Maybe I'll check out some gameplay first. I could still get Breath of the Wild. Or like, the new Animal Crossing lolololololol

He's a big fan. Big enough to care about the lore. Again, he means well, but he missed the mark here.

  I'm pretty sure we (the campaign I'm a part of) were discussing between rolling against AC and we had to hit below the threshold in one case. Or I'm just remembering wrong the specifics, I've not played much of this campaign and it's my first contact with D&D specifically.

Back in the olden days, there was THAC0 - To Hit Armor Class Zero, as in "you have to roll this high to hit AC 0". If you have 15 Thac0, you have to roll 15 vs AC 0, 14 vs. AC 1, 13 vs. AC 2 etc, or [Thac0-AC] in general, which means that both AC and Thac0 follow the rule "the lower the better". In Baldur's Gate, which generally tries to reproduce the PnP rules, a +1 weapon will give a +1 bonus to Thac0 (which means that it will reduce Thac0 by one) and a standard shield will give a +1 bonus to your AC (which means that it will reduce AC by one).

The maths isn't actually any more difficult than the "modern" To Hit bonuses, unless you struggle with the concept of subtracting negative numbers, but you get the impression that there's an attempt to make it look much more complicated than it really is. The part where "+x" means "-x" honestly is the worst part.

Today's standard, I'm pretty sure, is to roll D20 and add your To Hit bonus, and compare that number with the target's AC. If you match or exceed it, you hit; if your result is below the AC; you miss. I obviously have no idea if there's some exceptions to the rule, I was just assuming that the newer rulebooks try to be consistent about the general "more = better" rule.

Poor sisters, they don't get anything.

None of them do, come to think about it. It's all the guys. The girls are the ones who get to be clingy over MC-kun. Even more than the boys, I mean. But then, what's a little sexism in the most morally bankrupt game in the series?

Also how dare you use the fandom wiki.

The other one has no Berwick Saga. That means no official artwork of Alvina, Quetzal.

But the way he joins in Conquest makes him super interchangeable with Rinkah. They both come to the same "Corrin's not bad" realization, but then Kaze joins while Rinkah vanishes forever. It's weird.

Maybe it's because they were already "even" atm, while Kaze still owed Corrin for saving his life.

The only post Awakening staple that IS will keep moving forward are the Dating Sim elements. The rest will change.

It probably is, Berserk is super famous. Just like JoJo.

To not be so spoilery and more general. Pretend an evil scheming old man murdered your beloved sister, captured you and gave you total amnesia, symbiotically bound you to him -and in the case of this horrible doujin- proceeded to ravish you. I mean, for Haze herself it might (I am NOT going to look this up!) not be too bad because amnesia, but for us IRL who know her past- yikes!

Sounds like your average mindbreak NTR doujin. Now I now why some people dislike XC2.

Doubt it will win it though, it doesn't have the same clout as Elden Ring.

There's something to be said about Awakening doing a pretty good job at having male and female equality in a series that had a long history of sexism only for Fates to go back on all of that with it's primary female characters.

That's not to say Fates doesn't have really good female characters, in fact I'd say they outnumber the good male characters, but none of them are main characters.

It's gonna be a close bout between the two of them, I'd say. The weebs vs the elitists, so to speak.

Me, I'll sit in the corner there with the funny rabbids game, probably. It has Mario Payne, Bow Loogi, an edgelord called Edge, a sentient disco ball, I mean, it's already the game for me.

At least Fates has no gender locks for classes. Women get to be fighters and men get to be troubadours. Now that, that is pretty sweet.

That's not to say Fates doesn't have really good female characters, in fact I'd say they outnumber the good male characters, but none of them are main characters.

In fairness, I feel the secondaries in Fates are consistently better than the awful main characters regardless of gender, just in general lol

I guess since I've reached that point I have to put everything in spoilers now

Spoiler

When a villager takes his shirt off to give to Oersted, he actually takes it off and it stays off.

He even asks if you talk to him again if you seriously want to take more off him as he's literally given the shirt of his back.

JUST PLAY LIVEALIVE BRO

And the Trifle's item description: "At a glance, it appears to be edible, but......".

Yeah it'd be more of stuff from the last paragraph, the calculations are seemingly mostly unchanged from regular D&D.
