Codename Shrimp Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Berwick was a step in the right direction, but as Bow said, there wasn't enough interaction between characters Tellius with the Base convos was also good, but then we had RD's attempt at support system *yikes* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Okay, I'd say, this is a beautiful song... Now if only I remembered the full context behind it... dammit, I played that part of the story weeks ago to remember... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree but I think it was fine for the most part. 13 minutes ago, Spara said: FE can have great character interaction without supports AT ALL. Just look at TMS's cast. I agree.

Benice Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 1 minute ago, Sooks said: Less characterization = less quality characters = bad To that, I point at Three Houses and how many supports to do nothing for characterization. Many characters who have literally nothing to do with each other still have lengthy supports. You don't need to have Hilda talk with Ferdinand to make Ferdinand a more interesting character. The reason people find Dimitri Vs. Edelgard to be compelling in the first place is because they have something to do with each other and are relevant to each other's stories! Things like Hilda/Ferdinand, Caspar/Ferdinand, Mercedes/Cereal, so on and so forth add nothing at all to the plot. I'd rather see each character have, like, 5-6 supports apiece so that they don't make every single character say the same things over and over and over again. Characters can have tons of characterization without needing to talk to everyone, their grandma and the grandma's dog. I'd much rather see fewer but more meaningful interactions.

Not every character interaction has to be continent changing important.

Especially thanks to that dude. In terms of character, I'd say Berwick excells at everything except the villains, who are still good, but not to the same extent as the rest of the cast or the villains of TRS. We've got a vaguely sociopathic lord, occasionally creepy but well meaning advisor with a lot of heart (he eavesdrops on people from the bushes numerous times), and the best "edgelords" by far. ("edgelords" with quotes because none of them are really edgy - Dean's a homicidal maniac, Faramir's just an asshole, and Volo is shy (Yes, he does literally loot bodies for gold. He has a good reason I promise)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The larger SRW casts can be over a hundred characters. And they ALL get their participation, thanks to the nature of the game's story. Seriously, play a SRW game, you'll understand what I mean.

It's so inorganic and often the supports are really long when there's nothing going on. I wish that they'd used the monastery to have character interactions rather than a ton of supports.
