Sir Gilman, because I'm a sucker for Don Quixotes.

Grand Celebration, though I've woken up with Never to Return stuck in my head for the past few days.

~Rhae. Tried Xae on my second run, but it sounds off. Fae is a bit too obvious, and Gae/Bae is for memers. I only see a few of those names ever get shared - there's maybe half a dozen off them that I don't remember that never get considered.~

Hey Commoners,

My name is Manley, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are poor, dirty, exiles who spend every second of their day reading books. You are everything bad in the Downside. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any favor? I mean, I guess it’s fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to ghosts in orbs.

Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I’m pretty much perfect. I'm captain of Chastity, and fly my own airship. What sports do you play, other than “jack off to lore in the Book of Rites”? I also win every rite, and have a banging magnificent sapling (She just took control of the enemy's side of the field; Shit was SO sol). You are all commoners who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

So how was everyones scores?

I'm a bit pissed I missed out on two achievements
(Didn't do enough Pyre damage with Volfred(200), got everyone elses)
(And didn't beat all Triumvirates (Lost to True Nightwings the first time. Gave Orlarech merchy the 2nd time).

But besides that I went 38-1 before the final Rite. I think the most difficult Triumvirate is the Withdrawn (Bog Crones are easily the best. Sprint + Insane Jump means you can dunk the pyre from 1/3 of the map away)

>>385956896
>how many endings are there in the game?

Depends on what you mean. There's a living fuckton of permutations based on who you liberated, when you liberated them, which of their friends you liberated, the number of liberation rites you lost, etc.

>>385958683
>Will the revolution fail

Depends. Liberate them all and it's a bloodless revolution.
Liberate most and a few people will die but it won't be too bad.

It can go all the way down to failing entirely and the harps just swoop in to wipe out the Commonwealth instead.

None of them really had anything to go back to in the Commonwealth, so there was no point sending them back

Also, what're your thoughts on Sandra? I found her cute

What drove u when making decisions about who shall be liberated?

I just wanted them to be happy as they were my friends

>>385959318
Why not leave bertrude then

>>385959528
because Darren Korb

>>385959608
In no particular order

1. Who deserved to go free
2. Who still had business in the Downside
3. Who would be most comfortable staying in the Downside
4. Who would help the Plan the most

>>385959606
Sandra is _best girl.

>>385959610
>>385959606
Bertrude has her craft to go back to in the Commonwealth, which she kicked ass at beforehand as you learn about her and how her and Volfred got exiled, and she starts kicking more ass when she returns.

>>385939913
Does no one like Jodariel? She was my favourite

>>385956896
Sir Gilman, Pamitha, Bertrude, Sandalwood, and the Reader remained Downside. Rukey, the kid from the Fates, _ae, Tizo, Jodi, Hedwyn, and Orelach were liberated

Not bad, but I did feel a bit bad for making Hedwyn feel guilty for not getting the Reader out.

>>385959610
Because I wanted to help Volfred repay his debt and she would be very useful over there. Even beyond the plan.

>>385960037
I imagine Darren Korb doesn't like her because he had to incorporate the name Jodariel into music. You can hear the strain in Bound Together when she comes up.

>>385960037

I think it's a phisical place linked by a river that constantly pours into the downside,at some point of the river fall from tbe commonwealth to the downside there is a strate of no-air so flight upwards is impossible but people can still.smuggle stuff through imps and shit

That's why the only way to return to the commonwealth is an upward fall

>>385960798
Same for me, she was probably my favourite character overall. Horned girls usually aren't my thing.

>>385963189

Looking back on the gameplay, for some reason I've begun to like it more after I beat the game and let it sit for a while. Perhaps its because I was stressing about losing so much that I couldnt enjoy it.

Where?
From the downside to the commonwealth because of lack of air and so flapping wings is useless.
From the commonwealth to the downside is very possible, Fikani does just that if you leave Hedwyn in the downside.

>>385963749
I thought they could fly out of downside if they did not have their wings clipped

>>385963749

They also clip harps before throwing them into the downside

>>385963849
Must have missed that part, I understood that wings can recover and needed to be clipped only to prevent harps from escaping the river and I think that the team that Tamitha assembled could fly without any problems, they were circling the nightwings before the minstrel asked for a truce.

Also you can free ti'zo and nobody has any objections about him just flying to the commonwealth.

Also grumpy Sandra pic

>>385964258
Don't you need to keep clipping the feathers every time they replace the old ones?
>>385964384
Didn't realize they cut her actual wing at the knuckle or whatever. Just thought they cut the feathers.

>>385964760
I think Pamitha mentions at some point all the flying they can do now is in short bursts. If I remember right it's in the same area you get her in.

Bertrude actually looks kind of hot under her robes. Dat snake ass.

I need to replay it sometime and get a better ending.

>>385966065
go away volfred

>>385959528
>>385959528

Structurally, it's 10 verses, 1 chorus and 10 backing tracks.

It's impressive, but structurally very managable. The real impressive part is making it more or less invisible in game. It was incredibly natural and I didn't really realize what made my close calls feel so desperate until I recognized the Essence was overriding my theme.

>>385963189

If you try to escape the map, Tariq points out the barrier: You are physically blocked from leaving the downside by a mystical force. Fighting it ends poorly.

The Fall of Solaim is the only point at which it is pierced by the rites.

>>385964760

Flight feathers do not regrow; Clipped birds will forever be limited to short flights.

>>385967994

Disregard; My research was faulty.

Pinioning is permanent, clipping is temporary. From conversation, it's likely a more permanent version is employed when exiling Harps.

>>385967532
but didn't volfred find her physically repulsive? poor ol' dunkin' granny never gets any

>>385939913
So far my favorite chracter has to be the voice becuase he kind acts like an ass, and has sass and i enjoy his sarcastic nature durring the rites he's also voiced by Logan Cunningham. I have many favorite songs but before the game and the soundtrack came out the trailer edit of forbidden Knowledge and and path of glory but once the soundtrack came out snake soul really got mebut now I'm really starting to enjoy Never to return and it's triumvirate variations it's a nice final boss theme. I would call the moon touched girl Mae but Bae for joke purposes

>>385969893
You are physically repulsive

>>385967610
Honestly, the use of music in general in the game was so well done to me. I'm not near enough of a musician to point out or say what really strikes me but the music just sets the tone and mood so well

Jesus anon, you're disney villain tier cold blooded.

>>385975638
Jodariel belongs with Hedwyn and Ti'zo with Oralech.

Moongirl is for Almer.

>>385975704
No, I made her style all over Almer in a liberation rite so she could earn her rightful place in the new order as a saint and teacher. Why would I let her settle in squalor with some faggot instead of fulfilling her destiny?

>>385975834
Hedwyn already has his waifu. What Jodariel really wants is to find someone of her own. Not to pal around with her nightwing chums forever. Even in the final rite she's not even sure if going back would be any better and just wants to go back because she thinks that Hedwyn and the Moontouched might need her.

>>385960275
Duty before pleasure, anon. Surely you saw this coming.

What did you all think about the ending song? It was neat that they managed to make it variable, but a lot of the verses were very similarly structured.

>>385960168
I think my favorite thing about the choices you can make is that there are very good arguments for almost all of them.

I saved him but I kind of regretted it. Does the game ever explain why the rites are ending? Halfway through the party seems to suggest it's because of Oralech but kind of seems to drop that narrative towards the end.

I was super distrustful of Hedwyn at the beginning his always nice/mysterious demeanor just screamed incoming betrayel at me. Was wrong though, he was the best nightwing bro you could ask for.

She's probably around 50 years old at this point honestly, Hedwyn probably like 20.
