Saint Rubenio Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Teeheeooks said: Hide contents @Saint Rubenio do you remember that scene where Bolverk and Hakon are fighting, soon after crossing the canyon? In my game, Yrsa popped up out of nowhere to shoot a fire arrow at the ground near Bolverk which distracted him so Juno could do her mind stuff to calm him down. How did that end in your game, though, where you didn’t have Yrsa? Did you have to finish the fight (Yrsa popped in at the third turn) to calm him? Spoiler This is the "other benefit" I had described earlier. You see, if Yrsa dies in the forest fire or during Ludin's mad charge at Ridgehorn, she... actually does not die. Which isn't so far-fetched, considering no corpse is discovered in either scenario, she's just assumed dead. She returns in TBS2 during the fight between Bolverk and Hakon. Not only that... She comes back sporting the most badass scars. Girl straight up lost a chunk of her neck and got out with her life and her snark unscathed. Because she's a witch. Honestly, it kinda solidified her as one of my favorites in the trilogy. Plus, I was spared Ludin's mess at Ridgehorn and got a badass scarred Yrsa for my trouble. A net benefit, sending her to burn down that forest. Edited June 5, 2021 by Saint Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) I like how Sparr’s ability is just him insulting someone. Edit: Also, Spoiler Bersi really abandoned Ludin to go run away with Bolverk? That seems… out of character. Edited June 5, 2021 by Teeheeooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they're definitely handling this better than Luminous Avenger at least. They announced that game and then radio silence for over a year until like, three months before release.

Sooks Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) @Saint Rubenio do the ravens ever get kind options? I really wanted supplies, like everyone does in their early game, I imagine, but every option was like “kill them all and take all their supplies” so I just… didn’t. But no kind or non violent options were offered, unless you consider ignoring them a kindness. 5 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Sparr is great.

It'd go against their characters to be kind. 1 minute ago, Teeheeooks said: Yep, he seems… odd as a unit (not bad, just odd) , but I like him, so on the team he goes. He's basically the Aleo of the Ravens, except he's in a caravan that needs him more and his ability is better. Oh, incidentally, I just remembered: Spoiler The reason I believe Egghill to be better than Egil is that Egghill goes with the Ravens. The Raven caravan desperately needs units, so Egghill is much appreciated there, whereas Egil, while a good tank, exists alongside dudes like Mogr, Griss and Iver, who do his job well enough.

Sooks Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I made it to chapter 10, so I’m done for now. As far as choices… Spoiler I took Bak along and let home come to whatever down we just got to, and I also joined the axe throwing guy in the fight instead of watching. I also let Sefa join, as I said above, and obliterated her team in the fight following her betrayal. As far as every other encounter, I basically just ignored everyone holding on to hope that I could be kind. When I actually got to town, however, my first choice was to take Folka in with me. That didn’t amount to much, until the mender lady invited just me and Folka to stay inside the city while the Ravens are presumably left outside. This is where I saw my mistake, as I’m guessing that if I left Folka outside she wouldn’t have been invited to stay in the city, and would then have been able to protect the Ravens if/when something happens but because she’s there with Bolverk, she won’t be able to protect them, so I declined.

Saint Rubenio Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 So now that I've finished Banner Saga, I've picked up a little hack I found called Fire Emblem Storge. It's an interesting concept, basically you're a merchant who starts with a ton of gold and you purchase supplies and hire units at the start of the game, and then you play the rest of it with that set-up. It's really short, with only 5 proper chapters, but the multitude of units to choose from adds replayability, and you're apparently scored depending on how much gold you have by the end of it. It's also earned my respect when it started playing one of my favorite videogame tracks of all time in chapter 2. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
