Liz Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 in that chapter where you control Ephraim and Co., do you ever use Orson actively, knowing that he will betray you and you won't be able to use him in more than one chapter in normal campaign?

I rid his items and use him as a meatshield or not at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I knew Orson was a turncoat long before I even played Sacred Stones, so I've never used him for much other than meatshielding. One time, I let him die just to read his death quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I usually have the boss kill him for lols. I never use him. The chapter can be soloed with Ephraim, it's that easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I just take away his weapons and not use him for the duration of chapter 5x since that's the only thing that I actually find him useful for lol utilities. Since it's a waste of EXP anyways. Orson betray his Kingdom and his nation just to bring back his stupid dead slut of a wife. He is such a loser...

Ercdouken Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I don't really use him much since you only have him for one chapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I take all of Orson's items, then place him against the wall, and let the Shaman have his way with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical CC Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I have to tell....Orson's love for his wife was so great....that make me admit him a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I don't use Forde and Kyle often, so whenever I go Eirika route, I usually let Orson kill everything (since Ephraim gets autoleveled when he returns). The chapter is so boring I'd rather have it over with. If Orson kills everything he gets a level-up ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I do indeed use Orson sometimes, when I play Eirika Route or if I want to beat the game as fast as possible (turns, not actual time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deity Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Never use him since he is a traitor. I took his items and just used him as meatshield. What happens if he dies? Is the other chapter where he is suppose to appear playable? The one where some dude has the queen hostage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Wozzeck Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) And of course, me being an idiot I use Orson pretty heavily even though I know he won't be used after that particular chapter. It's a big problem I have, actually; I just can't seem to handle my units since the prepromotes take precedence over all when I play.

Mekkah Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) What happens if he dies? Is the other chapter where he is suppose to appear playable? The one where some dude has the queen hostage. That's Eirika route Ch14 with Caellach and Ismaire, and has no relation to Orson whatsoever. If Orson dies on 5x, he merely retreats, and everything continues as normal. Forde and Kyle only retreat if they die, as well.

Junkhead Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Well I over used him only to kill distant enemies and such, late I took all his weapons and items because he betrays Renais, in my opinion he is the BEST Paladin in the game.

Lord Glenn Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The first time I played through FE8, it's possible that I might have used him in limited capacity, but nothing more. I didn't have prior knowledge of his betrayal, but my experiences in FE7 shaped me into knowing not to use him too much. My second time (and subsequent times) through, I stripped him of his weapons and had him follow along as a meatshield and path blocker.

VincentASM Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I remember getting spoiled by someone speeding through the Japanese version. What I usually do is just take his equipment and ignore him. One time, I let him solo the map to see how many Levels he could obtain, but that was me being bored and random.

Judge Judy Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 When I got bored, I tried to make the enemy units kill Orson :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 My first PT I didn't use him at all since I wanted to level the other guys. I didn't want to use another jeigan anyway. Now I just take his items and ditch him, although I did manage to get him killed one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikken Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Why did Orson conceal a blade within his doublet? and I used him much the same way I use Seth. I also made sure to beat the chapter without using any Elixirs. Everyone except Orson had single-digit hp at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I take all of Orson's items, then place him against the wall, and let the Shaman have his way with him....Also, I always strip him like everyone else does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Hero Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I have the horsies go around for chests and a battle or two; they're terrible. I have Orson kill everyone that Eff doesn't, then I take off Orson's weapons. But the first time, I lost Orson's weapons ;-; They don't even go to the convoy ;-; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all that traitor is good for in the regular campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, They're the worst IN THAT LEVEL, and I'd rather level up characters that I like, and they're ugly. That better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
