What's a better Oregon Trail like? This or The Banner Saga?

Because honestly the space jam game bores me but so does the turn based strategy in Banner Saga. But I'm curious for the narrative in both.

Weird how Oregon Trail has almost a tiny sub genre now.

>>385450305
I enjoy both a lot. You should probably go with Pyre first, since Banner Saga is a trilogy and still isn't finished. (Third and last game got kickstarted recently)

It's not common at all. And the last four times it was used has been in Pyre threads where you're answering to someone who doesn't like the rites.

>>385451051
I enjoyed the rites.

Though if they had more characters and fleshed out the existing ones too, that would have been nice.

Though considering the team size, i think we got a good product

>>385450884

>>385452284
>>385451519
Also archers are OP, so use them.

Generally go for armor first on enemies until your character can do decent health damage

And remember that your health and damage are directly tied (which is why you should boost your damage dealers' health)

And lemme reiterate. Max armor break first, its basically mandatory and takes like one level

is there decision making throughout the game or is it linear? i know theres a big choice probably in the end but...

>>385452328
This is some top tier wallpaper here

I loved Bastion and Transitor, but this game isn't grabbing me the same way.

I don't consider the visual novel part to be gameplay, and there is too much downtime between rites.

The Rites themselves don't seem difficult, though I'm only on the second-to-last difficulty. It seems fairly shallow to me so far, and the AI doesn't seem smart enough to adapt.

I love the art, and Supergiant has always been good with worldbuilding and characters.

I think the engine is showing its age as well. I agree that it plays like a flash game. The game feels like I'm playing transistor in the sense of how object and characters are placed in the world and the movement.

>>385453006
Lots and lots of decision making throughout. Some of them very difficult. That's the gameplay of the Oregon trail segments. It mostly has a bearing on your teams stats for the next rite, and the occasional chances at items or experience (both sparse in the game)

>>385452283
I just bumrushed them with Pamitha with stamina/speed upgrade. I beat a 10 Titan Star match with just her essentially.
_ae with her no start-up upgrades can do two jumps straight to the pyre. Bertrude can do that too if you remember exactly how far she lands with jumps
If you have Gillman or Volfred in defense, they should never score on you.

Also, Rukey is useful in every scenario.

Hedwyn was the first guy I freed, so I have no opinion on him, will see next playthrough

>>385453140
Yeah. This was a bit of a misfire but I still had a decent good time with it. I don't think it overstays its welcome for what it is.

>>385452723

The prince with the spear is really fucking good in the first game once he's leveled. Boost his critchance and he can gimp your opponents hard.

>>385453006
Multiple decisions that can cause party members to leave/die

Also, this is major spoilers but important for 2, decide who you like more between rook and alette and have who you care about less take the shot at the end. Itll make sense when you get there

>>385453140
Try triggering some titan stars and alternate your team members constantly until the start whittling down, makes the actual gameplay segment a bit more fun

>>385453226
Pam is OP with her trinket
Just fly halfway across the map into the pyre without being banished for a round

>>385453140
>I don't consider the visual novel part to be gameplay
Well Oregon Trail is literally by definition not a visual novel, and Pyre's segments have decision making just like the Oregon trail.
>The Rites themselves don't seem difficult, though I'm only on the second-to-last difficulty.
Because the second to last difficult is Normal(Easy) easy is braindead mode for the journalists
>It seems fairly shallow to me so far, and the AI doesn't seem smart enough to adapt.
It picks up as you go. AI start introducing tactics like throwing you the ball to you to make you vulnerable and then tackling you with their aura, faking you out with passing and starting the throw animation, etc. As well as match specific conditions like a tree man who makes roots close in the battlefield really small, or a bunch of other people who cheat and modify the game. In some way

>I think the engine is showing its age as well. I agree that it plays like a flash game. The game feels like I'm playing transistor in the sense of how object and characters are placed in the world and the movement.

The first fights in the game make you get used to having lots of Varl at your disposal. You'll get blown away if you play with the Strand caravan the same way you play with the Varl caravan.
Then: the turn order is extremely important. You want to position your units in such a way so that the enemy that will act next won't be able to reach a member of your party.
After that, you attack that guy. By the next turn that he gets, he'll be useless.
About attacking, it's vital that you know when to attack Armour and when to attack Strength. In general, you want to at least chip away half of an enemy's armour before attacking his health. Also, Strength is both ATK damage AND health. The more a unit is hurt, the less damage it can output. This goes for you and the enemy,
Also, don't start killing enemies until all of them are injured and/or useless. Killing an enemy won't give out a double turn, it will make the next enemy act. There's always going to be alternate turns.
If,say, you killed most enemies, but two tanky units were left untouched, while your 6-man team is all injured, those two units are going to rip your team apart. This wil happen:
Hero1 > Enemy1 > Hero2 > Enemy2 > Hero3 > Enemy1 > Hero4 > Enemy2 > Hero5 >Enemy1 > Hero6
Your ideal situation will be a battle in which all enemies are too injured to deal any health damage to you, while you will be mostly unharmed.

>>385453526
Dude, it's not just about difficulty. That's like saying that I Wanna Be The Guy is the best game ever.

>>385453370

Will do. I definitely am switching my team members and try to run with as much of a new team as possible.

I do like the visual novel parts of the game, but it feels like it's too much. Bastion and Transistor were packed with gameplay so it was disappointing to see how much less of it there appears to be in Pyre.

>>385449806

>>385449806
I just beat the game and why the fuck was it never explained in the game lore why every fucking opposing team cheats and how the fuck it's even allowed? What's from stopping a team from blocking their pyre with some shit like that one team did, only reason they lost was because they half assed it. Seriously, the level with the moving red blobs, the enemy team literately had one of those camping above their pyre the entire game, what the fuck is this shit?

I liked the rest of the game just fine, but god damn did this one aspect piss me off.

Their previous games actually had really cool combat in my opinion. One was just an action game, one was turn-based. Sports is a genre too, but it really just looks pretty gay. I'll buy it on sale probably, unlike Transistor that I bought on release.

I like that they try something new with every game.

>>385453960

>>385453960
Volfred mentions it. The scribes/ the voice, none of them have direct control of the rites. It was an honor system

>>385453960
Because abilities are allowed to be used in the Rites? Same thing with how the Bog-Witch summons acid pools.
Your team uses abilities too, after all.

>>385453960
The blobds are supposed to be spawn of the dead tiatn body not giving a fuck or something, not a cheat that benefits your adversaries.
In certain rites, they do cheat yes. And I guess it;s because the Voice is biased against you that they let it rock

>>385454050
The artstyle and concept are also less interesting than Bastion and Transistor were, in my opinion. It looks like they're going downhill a bit. Wonder what they will work on next.

>>385454087
I do too, but you need some familiarity too. The previous two games were nice because they're proven combat systems that they spiced up nicely. Then there's this weird thing, like they're trying too hard to be different.

>>385453437

I don't know what 'Oregon trail by definition not being a visual novel' has to do with Pyre. I will say that interacting with characters in Pyre is not something I find enthralling in large doses, though I do enjoy the art, story, and characters.

I think I will bump the difficulty up at your suggestion, as I haven't even come close to losing a Rite yet and I've been through quite a few; could be due to being to early in the game as you say.

To clarify my final point; the game engine Supergiant is using for Pyre appears to be the same one they used for Transistor and Bastion; this makes sense as they already made an engine so why take dev time to create a new one if this one works?

However, when doing the rites the movement, art, arenas, and objects placed in them have a very transitor/bastion feel to them as well as the movement. It doesn't feel different enough to me and makes me feel like I'm playing a valve game in the sense that the engine is the same even if modified and has the same kind of feel and tendencies.

>>385453789
I just finished getting all the achievements in the first game, I got a bit carried away with the explanation.
Anyway, the last tip: experiment a bit and learn how aggro works, you can use it to your advantage. Also, the AI is coded to "ignore" abilities like Stone Wall and Rain of Arrows (the arrow trap).
This means that they won't try to avoid them. You can use this to force them to take damage by manipulating their pathing.

>>385454639
Because of how every character can essentially exit the game at any moment, the amount of dialogue/comments most of them (aside from Volfred/Minstrel) have to make for the events is sadly a bit limited. It's no that glaring since each character has his own individual story and some unique interactions with other teams if you keep them, and I understand it would be a ridiculous amount of text if they accounted for each possibility, but depending on how you face and free, some characters become almost absent in the later half of the game.

Until Volfred joins, the backstory and worldbuilding is a tad too slow, making it a bit hard to care about what is going on or supposed hardships (they do a great job in the later half).
The game should have a jukebox mode in main menu, so I can listen to every track and every Rite song version.

I really think that manually flying over and over in the later half of the game is kinda pointless, you know the scenery and it does not change.

I have bigger complaints about the Rite gameplay, but that is for another post

Mediocre A.I with a tendency to get stuck in environmental obstacles a tad too often (in the lava pits arena, they keep dying in their own) . Only thing they are good at, even in highest difficulties is immediate accuracy when they throw ball into pyre.
After you get to 2nd level awakening, most of your characters can get abilities that start breaking the game in half(and the items given by the crystal are way fucking good). Like, the enemy just can never keep up with Pamitha, _Ae can jump into the enemy pyre in 2 seconds, gilmore covers a ridiculous raius with his aura trail etc.
Many of the titan starts offer no real challenge, just extend the game or make your opponent hurt you more. And even the quickness, presence buffs etc don't change your strategy that much.

Also, the Harpy and Bog witch team is a waste of time. I know lore wise it makes sense they do not have a varied team, but it makes facing them far easier.

I have a few other issues, but they are personal nitpicking.

>>385455913
If you assign one guy to stay always by the pyre, it's pretty easy to jump between two of your party members.
You can try some basic tricks, like Hodariel/Bertrude unleashing big ass aura to clear enemies near orb(flashing variant) and you immediately hop to one of your faster guys (gilmore, rukey) and rush towards the ball. Enemies are either dead or jumping and you can probably outmaneuver third guy.

How do demons put their helmets on?

For those that played, how much do you think it's worth? I don't really want to pay 20 for something quality wise below Transistor.

>>385455952
>Only thing they are good at, even in highest difficulties is immediate accuracy when they throw ball into pyre.
Right definitely not throwing the ball to you, or exceeding in shootouts, or faking you out, etc.
>After you get to 2nd level awakening, most of your characters can get abilities that start breaking the game in half
You'd think so, but outside of Pamela's really most of them still take quite a bit of work. Even Bertrude's which sounds ridiculous doesn't end up being a major change.
You also start losing your team and will likely be forced to play disadvantaged comps in the later half
>Many of the titan starts offer no real challenge, just extend the game or make your opponent hurt you more. And even the quickness, presence buffs etc don't change your strategy that much.
Full titan is meme tier for people who want to play ultra hardcore. Use enough that you're challenged but not totally pissed off, that's the point.

I don't think so, I know so. Like, the only character I did not think is that abusable(either easy to score with or defend against everything) is Tizzo, and it's probably because I missed something
Bertrude is already an amazing defender wit hher area casting ,going through shit is cherry on top. And if you know her jump arc, slither/jump.score is piss easy.
>Full titan is meme tier for people who want to play ultra hardcore. Use enough that you're challenged but not totally pissed off, that's the point.
That is the problem, not challenged by an config. The fight is not really harder since opponents cannot keep up, just lasts longer.

>I had a ton of trouble with the harpies because people I had left didn't deal with air play well.
If you leave one person right next to the pyre, they should never be able to score. Other teams can sometime throw the ball and snipe you with aura cast or do a very fast jump you do not expect, harpies are very predictable

>>385457041
>Funny you mention throwing the ball, the A.I also cannot handle it for shit
Funny that I've played through the entire game with the AI scoring on me with the ball and passing me the ball to make me vulnerable then.
>Also, the flash aura casting you do should let you win most shout outs.
Not really

>>385457041

if you say so, chum

>>385457218
>Funny that I've played through the entire game with the AI scoring on me with the ball and passing me the ball to make me vulnerable then.

Seems like you are a bad player then

>>Enemy switches to a fast enemy and quickly tries to get the drop on me
If they abandon the shoutout with one character and start with another, even if he is one range, you have tie to shout and jumo over whatever they throw you. Hardly something threatening

>Ok we're done here.
Right. The fact that you are trying to tell me 'you think so', as If I did not finish the game abusing said characters and their abilities already is hilarious.

>>385457550
You're treading dangerous territory. That dude has been ardently defending Pyre with all of his might for the past 72 hours

>>385457396
If you have anyone with a decent aura parked near the pyre (Jonariel is the easit for that, but Volfred plus sapling works), they will almost always fly when near, so you can block them easily.
If they do not, they die.
So yeah. Only easier team to deal with is the Bog Witches

>>385457684
Shitposterkun you sounds like you're getting desperate.

>>385457720
Try blocking an AI harpy with Volfred.

Jodariel is at least possible, but her jump is slow and covers a lot of area.

Really, the way to deal with harpies is Hedwyn with his rank 2 mastery. Or Pam, but that doesn't count.

>>385457836
dunking on Essence with Hedwyn was immensely satisfying

get that weak shit out of here, bird sluts

>>385457836
Either of those is PARKED near the pyre to force the harpie to fly and you jump with anyone else.
Pam can do everything, so yeah, no argument.

Hedwyn, I know nothing about cause he was the first guy I freed.
I will see what cool shit he can do when I start the second playthrough tomorrow.

Wew.

Lets see if some more screenshots push him over the edge. Or at least get him to shut up again

Does it really matter who you choose to face before each liberation rite? I'm a little bit past my first liberation rite, where it gives you the option to choose between several opponents.

>>385458606
It appears that many of the liberation rites are open to having different people in them. Anons last thread mentioned getting different results

I've had the Tempers first obviously, the the fates, chastity, and then old god one, that's as far as I've been.

>>385458002
That requires a two-man defensive team that's wrecked if the harpy decides to tackle, or if you lose a man from pyredunking last round.

Hedwyn has an ability that banishes people who he jumps into.

>>385458606
Kind of. If you win against a team, they go down in the ranking. Losing against them makes them go up. Whoever's highest at the next liberation rite will be your opponent.

>>385458606
If you beat someone they lose favour, the team with the highest favour will face you in the liberation rite.

Man, this is a pretty game.

Someone in a previous thread or something said it looked edible, and I concur.

>>385458696
>>385458761
I kno, I just meant, is there any sort of mechanic benefit or drawback of facing one team over the other. I'm guessing it just has a bearing on the interactions between the characters (and obviously the way the teams play).
I just don't want to miss cool story moments by beating certain teams.

>>385459075
Each enemy team has a special thing happen in their Liberation Rite. The Dissidents make the orb go crazy when it's not held, the Chastity get a bullshit random pyre boost, the Essence are FUCKING FILTHY CHEATERS, etc.

>>385458696
While a player would easily come to dunk with the harpies to force me out, the A.I almost never does that.
With Jondariel/X for example, I auracast with Jondariel till one harpy gets close, then I switch and jump when they get near. if I kill one or two of them ,I can go to the offense.Since they dash instead of running constantly, fast characters can make a pretty good beeline to their pyre.


Hedwyn does sound like he is their fucking bane.

>>385459075
Different interactions and each liberation rite had had the enemy team pull something or another out of their and it's been I believe specific to them.

>>385458886
Im not the only one that had no idea it was Logan Cunningham as The Voice until the credits rolled right?
He just sounds so different compared to his roles in Bastion and Transistor

Man has an insane amount of range, as it turns out.

>>385459302
You and I have had different AI experiences, then. They've hit me with the dash/fly/dash combo more times than I can count, and when I predict it they do tackle/fly instead.

>>385454939

>>385459378
You can still recognize his gravely voice in some sentences. I had my suspicions in the first trailer, cause the voice sounded a wee bit familiar, but entirely different still.

>>385461003
Really? The only time i realised he played a character was when he sighed as Darlbert
I honestly thought he just voiced Dalbert until the credits rolled

Haven't played or watched any pyre yet, is the non space-jam basketball stuff similar to banner saga? Moving caravan etc. That's the impression I got when Pyre was first announced.

There isn't a survival aspect really. The Oregon Trail segments are more about making decisions that will increase or decrease stats for the next rite, the game is also scarce on gold and XP and more chances to get extra are present.

Man it's going to be a pain to find the credit song on youtube. Anyway, here's how it went for me, I barely cared for the plan so I send them in the order of how I felt would be best.

1. Rucky
2. Hedwyn
3. Sister of Harpy
4. Ti'Zo
5. Sir Gilman
6. Harpy
7. Bertruge because Sandalwood didn't have enough fucking experience to be release.
7. Reader

Xae found her happiness with the dog boy, as well as Jol' with the demon guy - I think it was the better choice and the credit information agrees. Bertruge offered her position to me, and she said she had no reason to really go to the Commonwealth and I succumbed. Sandalwood will use his mind and influence to make the hell a better place.

Sandra appearing after her crude ending bio and jesting with you one last time was so heartwarming.

Overall I enjoyed the game but wish there were more interesting momentslike the one with the witch and the titan sign which will influence the story and gameplay. The rites themselves grew boring after a while but I've enjoyed them none the less. The final battle was suprisingly easy, seing as I was a fast-character-rush player and I only had Xae with me for that. The demon, who I didn't really care for and found annoying, was the only hard part as he danced with his giant aura. I played on hard, without the titan stars.

>>385463428
There's literally a restart rite button in the pause menu when you're in one

I used it liberally because I sent the best players back first like an ignoramus

my friend told me you can actually profess feelings for jodariel and she reciprocates. is this true or did they just get my hopes up

>>385464036
>she reciprocates
She tells you that she is flattered but you should draw a line at being companions and friends, and then you can insult her horns after.

>>385464131

damn, they told me that she says she feels the same but you need to focus on the mission right now. maybe it depends on your dialogue towards her?

>>385464131
>>385464254
Is this when she talks about her horns? I don't think i got this convo.

>>385463914
>wish there were more interesting momentslike the one with the witch and the titan sign
This. It was actually my last regular rite before the ending.

I ended the game leaving Ti'Zo, Volfred, and Bertrude behind, since they all had a good friendship and would be alright down there. Chose to free myself at the end because Hedywn, Jodi, and Rukey were all up top and best boy had a promise that needed to be kept

I don't think teams continue participating without their leader

>>385465634
Use your aura to kill the ball runner until you've got one/no enemies left, then zip it in.

>>385465634
The one with three demons? Either pass by them, explode near them (since their return time is much bigger) or wait until you get unlimited stamina.

>>385465672
I just assumed Fate might be different since they have 2 important people

>>385465634
I would hide behind the wall next to the ball and just explode whenever anyone got close, generally took out 1 or 2 at a time, then I'd grab the ball and hotfoot it

>>385465634
Get behind the terrain, all of them will run to you, and just fly over the terrain with the ball, most likely the won't be able to get you in time. Oh, and the upgraded moon talisman.

>>385466091
Only ones to feel bad about are the Fate and the Temper, and even then the Commonwealth as it is is no place for Ignarius. The one you're working on could be.

Man I wish I didnt liberate my favorite characters early on. I thought they deserved it, and that it would be the best for the cause but in the end the outcome was probably not affected that much. Only difference being less interactions with my favorite characters.
Also I never lost a single rite, abandoned my own freedom yet I never got anything from Sandra afterwards, probably because I didnt complete all her trials?

>>385466997
Not sure, did you visit the orb before the last rite?

>The Lone Minstrel blashpeming at the gate because he wanted a slice of that Dark Meat

>>385467141
"Blaspheming at the gate" also makes for an amazing euphemism.

>>385466997
>I never got anything from Sandra afterwards, probably because I didnt complete all her trials?

Yeah, that's probably why, though I don't know for sure. I made sure to check the orb frequently in case she had new dialogue and sometimes she would, even though there wasn't a new trial. Might be important too.

Played reader as war orphan who wants to get friends back and change things. Focus is on plan first personal feelings second.
>Rukey gets released first to set the ground work for everyone else with his considerable resources, barker eventually forgets about him and there's no big deal.
>Jodariel is next because all of the orphans she took in are now possible allies, plus she's got fuck tons of experience and tactical knowledge.
>Edwin fulfilled his vow to his other two friends, reader accepted head on that he could not return and never expected to be able to. He is crucial for a bloodless revolution as he keeps people in mind first and foremost.
>Gae is next, you can't take one of the books with you, fortunately she knows it by heart.
>Gertrude goes in to produce all of the materials they're gonna need and provide further insight into the plan.
After letting pamitha duke it out with her sister and gilman go to town on his old crew, the conflict between the harps was far from over but gilman had reclaimed his honor. After a final confrontation against his old superior during a liberation rite, gilman earns his freedom.
And finally, Volfred had stayed as long as he could to oversee things down in exile land, but it was time for him to head back up and ensure the plan went right. After a confrontation with Oralech, he offers to let him go if he will carry the plan through. Oralech refuses and is banished. Volfred ensures the plan goes perfect and topples the commonwealth without any bloodshed, as well as works for the rest of his life establishing the new order.
Ti'zo stays in his homeland taking care of the wagon and his brother imps, Pamitha remains to seek reconciliation with her sister which she eventually sort of gets.
The reader sacrifices his freedom so that they might still have theirs. And gets a qt ghost waifu as a reward.
Years after he ascends to be with the scribes, becoming the first of the new stars.

Best end.

>>385469036
Exactly why I left her. She's fairly clever and does show intelligence, but she's so spaced and was abused so readily in the Commonwealth that I can't see her living a meaningful, whole life there.
At least she'll have a family of sorts here in the Downside.

>>385469036
She's the only person that knows the actual gospel of the eight, everyone else can't read and you can never take the books from the downside.
Fuck man, she's more of a conduit between the eight and everyone else than a person by the end.

>>385469283
What's the point of the eight in the new world, when the rites are over forever

>>385469112
>>385469216
This is why I couldn't send Ti'Zo either. Not only is he special to downside like Ha'ub was, but also I wanted him to be around for the final business with Oralech, given their history.

Couldn't leave Hedwyn either since the only way to keep the promise would be or us to go together.

I feel like it's a decent choice of people to remain the Nightwings, in a sense.

>>385469379
They're not over forever, it's just the start of a new age. Plus they need something to worship other than the stars now that the stars are literally gone.

The union abolishes the practice of exiling criminals. Meaning, no voice and no rites. Unless it is reintroduced at a later date, there won't be any rites.

>>385470076
They don't exile criminals anymore but there's still a fuckton of them down there.
Oh well, I guess we'll see in pyre 2, return of the electric boogaloo

do you legitimately believe that everybody who dislikes this game is the same person?

>>385470221
Barb still conducts rites for the fun of it, and soon all other gangs join in.

So what did the Scribes mean by "we give our freedom so that you may have yours?"

Did they die in order to start the rites or something?

>>385470654
Probably same thing that happened to the reader, They made the triumvirates and never did the actual rites so they couldn't leave. Or maybe they had to stay to cast magic or something to get other people out.

>>385470654
No, they went for Murr and never returned. Haub was the only native.

Does the War Orphan background imply that I'm a child?

>>385470884
No, it's more like a young adult-adult age. Like late 20s to 30s. Old farmhand is mid 30s to mid 40s and everything else is crippled scholar.

Breddy gud.

>>385466091
I felt bad about some of them, but figured that in the end everyone would be better off if I stuck to sending people back who would help the revolution. No point in making one person happy today when I can make the world happier tomorrow.

>>385468557
I assume like another anon said, thats showing that he's a reader. The nightwings at the start knew you were a reader because the markings on you, and that marking is on your cloak

>>385468206
I assume you can choose from any of them, but I dunno.

Also I only got hit with banishment sickness twice. Once for Shae, and then later for 3 of my 6 members at once

>>385474794
The revolution happens regardless,
in fact, if you don't do anything and lose almost everything the Harpies take care of it in your stead.

>>385475212
Yeah but are the harpies the best choice for running the new world order? I'd much rather have people who understand what it's like to be exiled and understand the horrors of the commonwealth running things instead of genocidal birds.
Muh no violence revolution.

>>385475396
If I'm not wrong from what I know they just fuck off once they deal with the Commonwealth's leadership and the Union takes their place. Non violence revolution with all your exile pals is the best one, of course.

>>385475478
Pam is a great unit once you have her trial talisman.

She's also sexy and you need to shut your mouth, she's not waifubait just because she's a slut.

>>385475478
Convinced me to throw my only liberation right.

>>385475478
>>385475597
She is pretty fuckin OP if you use her right.

If for no other reason that she can fly over like half the court, and with her trinket, she can dunk the ball but not get banished.

And her attack is pretty stronk when used right

>>385475824
oh yeah no kidding, she's great mechanically

but as an actual character she's by far the worst. Even Ti'zo has more depth.

>>385475597
>>385475652
Talisman AND Swift flight is enough, really.
Her mastery to get a burst aura after her invincible attack can make her a wrecking ball.

so is the imp just useless?

>>385475893
If you keep challenging Harpies, it is pretty interesting.
Has some fun interactions with Ruskey too

>>385449806

>Bastion was excellent

I hate numales

>>385476000
He's really good actually. Force your enemies to group up and then suicide bomb him in there. He can also fly and his sprint is fast as fuck, so he's good at dunks/securing the ball early.

Sap/Witch/Imp is a great combo.

Nobody is useless except Sap.

>>385476013
I challenged them over and over. Nothing changed in her storyline, and she continued to spout the same woe-is-me dialogue.

I did send Rukey back that time, so maybe he helps? I dunno, she's incredibly one-note, and that's coming from someone who loves Gilman.

>>385476000
Tizo is fast, has a strong aura, and if you build him correctly can take out 2-3 enemies and allow immediate teleportation for slower, stronger characters like Jodi.

Plus he's one of the best air defenders along with Pam and Hedwyn.

>>385476146
In arenas with lots of environmental hazards, sapling can cripple teams.
Also, with his personal item, you can go for a goal with well timed teleports(aka, whenever A.I does something that wastes staminal, teleport)

>>385476146
Tossing a fast sapling on the orb immediately will let you take out enemies with aura casts without having to worry about them rushing you. Plus, if you can calculate his blink distance perfectly, you can hit the pyre from crazy far away.

>>385476183
For me, she got much better once her sister was free.

>>385476146
>Sap
>not stronk as fuck

Move him into his sapling's aura and you can cover half the field with a single unit. He's highly defensive and can't score for shit, but he's a great field controller.

I cheesed every hard fight by taking control of the field with him, then blasting people away with Bertrude.

>>385449806
Bastion and Transistor were also flash games in disguise desu

>>385476015
What does numales have to do with fucking bastion?

If you consider Pyre or Transistor SJW, Bastion certainly wasn't

Wait a second...

There are eight scribes, right? Are Savages descendants of Khaylmer?

Why would Volfred want someone to fill a Savage mask? And isn't Fae's mask the same as Hedwyn?

>>385476860
>fae

Who?

>>385476860
Rukey calls Hedwyn out on taking Fae along for that exact same reason.

She represents Rope-Caller, which isn't a bad thing for the plan: The original goal was to all 8 scribes represented, and having a 9th of the forgiven traitor Rope-caller would have been icing on the cake. Problem of course being that they can't even get seven out,
much less 9.

>>385477480
_ae

You know, the wildling girl? You choose her name?

>>385477640
I thought 7 was the most you can get out.

If you win every time, you have 2 left in downside

>>385478037
Oh you mean Bae, easy mistake to make my friend, you're forgiven.

What happens if you free Tamitha? Does Pamitha get new lines?

>>385478415
Yeah. And it'll affect the epilogue.

>>385478790
Quick summary? Pam is still acting a bit weird but I denied her sister liberation

>>385478907
I mean its not a huge difference, it mostly just affects Pam and Tam's personal epilogues.

Just play the game

>>385478136

That's technically correct, but I was referring to including _ae; Sandlewood's desired 8 representatives of the scribes is already impossible with 7 slots. Including _ae as an incarnation of Rope-Caller limits them to only 6 slots for the intended show of solidarity.

>>385479563
I mean, you don't have to ascend _ae

>>385478907

If Pam and Tam both go topside, they "reconcile" in their own way... Tamitha cripples her sister and they call the feud settled.
Pam gets over it, while it eats at Tam for the rest of her life. A similar scenario occurs if they are both in Downside.

If they are separated, Pam will send letters that Tamitha never reads.

In any case, Pamitha spends her time wandering either the new Saharin Union or Downside.

If Rukey is with her, they become drinking buddies.

>>385479802
What?
At least if you get the nonviolent revolution, Tam is forced to accept that Pam had a major role in it, but she refuses to actually forgive Pam anyway. But nothing about her hurting Pam.

>>385479784

Despite her spacy nature, she's an incredible asset for the spiritual angle of the revolution, since she basically has the book of rites memorized.

Pams right wing gets crippled when she tries to reconcile with tam if they're both exiled, then they stop being enemies but still rarely interact with each other, and pam starts wandering after.

On a mostly unrelated note, what happens if you take Sandra but then ascend? I know you aren't allowed to take the book with you, but do you take Sandra? I'd feel really bad if I agreed to her request then had to break it shortly after.

Hi /v/, not sure how shit the thread is now but I'm just popping in to take requests for music rips. I can do each version of the Liberation Rite and all that.

>>385482254
how are you ripping? from game files?

i think the actual version of "in the flame" that plays when you traveling to the final rite is different from the one on the album, so a rip of that would be appreciated

>>385482458
*you're

>>385482458
Yeah, game files.
Just about to upload that. Only issue is that I couldn't find seem to find the vocals with the The Bard only, so it has some girl in it.

>>385480552

They still fought when they both ascended in my playthrough. I think it might have been an issue of not playing against the Essence enough.

Holy fuck is there a way to turn off switch-on-LMB? This one control mechanic literally makes the combat 20% less fun by itself. I don't know why they thought making LMB swap characters when they already have three mistake-free ways of swapping characters (z/x,numkeys and point+shift), but they decided to make movement so much more obnoxious and imprecise when dealing with multiple dudes in close proximity to one another.

>>385482963
>switch-on-LMB

???

I've never even had that presented to me as an option. You've definitely changed the control scheme, for me it's always been spacebar and only spacebar.
Go into options, there are alternate control schemes from what I remember, but the default always worked for me.
