I left Volfred, Bertrude, and myself I really enjoyed it

Here's a question, what is the significance of the carving Volfred has on his head? Of the star with 3 arrows pointing downwards? It's also on The reader's cloak at the end of the game Does it appear anywhere else?

>>386700215
You have it in the beginning when they pick you up, too. Maybe it just means reader? You got lucky and got a cloak with the mark, but since Volfred comitted such a huge crime, they branded him with it.

Anyway, I left _ae, Ti'zo and Pamitha. _ae has Ti'zo and Almer, Ti'zo has Oralech and _ae, and Pamitha had Tamitha to keep her company. The most difficult decision was whether to send Oralech or myself at the end. Oralech wanted me to go, so I went.

>>386699986
The plan succeeds regardless of your %, the only difference is how peaceful it went

Also Sandra obv

>>386699986
Sandra and *ae are best girls.

>>386699986
Freed Hedwyn, Jodi, Rukey, Almer, Rhae, Sir Gilman, and Volfred. Didn't realize that chump Oralech would jump off the falls, though, will probably free him next playthrough. Left Bert, Ti'zo, Pamitha, and myself - they all had relatively happy endings in the Downside, though separating Bertrude from her grannycrush was a tough decision.

best girl is sandra no question

also anyone playing the versus mode? was thinking the nightwings characters were overall pretty weak with default masteries, but after trying out different demons i think jodi is at least better than ignarius/oralech and gilman > sir deluge

>>386702448
Under the right circumstances, Oralech will stay in the Downside and not kill himself

>tfw you wanted to comment but don't know how to use spoiler tags.

>>386702520
that's if you throw the match right?

>>386703846
highlight the text then hit ctrl+s

>>386703964
There's more to it than losing. You have to help him find his way. Convince him that Volfred truly is sorry about the things that happened.
It's 1 dialogue option where you use your Reader superpower to telepathically implant it into his head

>lost liberation rite to the Fate fucking around with titan stars.
>Good guy Dalbert throws his son into the pool instead.

I swear those aren't tears b-baka.

How would you describe the art style of this game? I'm really interested in studying it.

>>386704504
Supergiant esque
I know it doesn't help

all in all i think it suffered once you had the choice to pick which match you do next. also why would they have a redo match button if the entire game basically revolves around permanent choices.

finally, tizo is fuckin rigged. best team, jodi tizo hedywn. jodi and hedwyn on D, tizo hops and flies for the gg. pamitha works pretty good too if you get that one artifact that makes her not get banished when she flies into the pyre.

>>386704918
Not being able to redo would drive away a lot of people from buying the game.
Also what was wrong with getting to pick your opponent? Without that option it would be impossible to get whatever combo of liberated exiles both Nightwins and Adversaries.

Ti'zo is rigged because the AI can't handle him. Most people have greater difficulty dealing with Crones, though.

>>386705532
i didn't realize this until lategame when the ai starts doing this to you, but you can block jumps and crone dunks with your own jumps

crones are definitely strong, but you often lose shootouts in mid when neither player wants to make a dive for the ball because your jump takes you so far

>>386706485
The game tells you pretty early on that you can block jumping players. Also it happened every time I tried to jump over an aura after about one third through the game.
It also works against Harpies and Imps that fly.
The Sap shield also works, since Saps can't jump.

>>386706808
really? i do remember the game saying that you could block flying dudes, i guess i was too slow to try it vs. ai jumpers

Hedwyn, Gilman, Jodariel, Tamitha, Rukey, Pamitha, Volfred.

>Nab orb with Ti'zo
>Run behind or right up to their Pyre
>Pass to the Pamitha in the back
>Die
>Bait other team forward
>Portal to their Pyre
>Dunk
>Full team next round thanks to Pamitha's Legendary Talisman
>Repeat

Too bad the AI never really got around to thinking with portals, but otherwise great game. I'm having trouble deciding whether this or Bastion is my favorite Supergiant game.

Be a good boy and step aside, would you.

I missed a decent bit of lore in my first playthrough, but is the mind-reading thing ever properly explained or mentioned? I know it has to be some side-effect of being a Reader

>>386711847
I don't think it was specifically mentioned again after that. I think the implication is that the reader learns how to do it as part of studying the rites and getting closer to enlightenment. The Voice later starts invading your dreams, implying that his mind-reading skills are even more powerful - since he was a reader long ago it makes sense

this is epic. thank you

>>386712529
honestly it's kind of hard to imagine the revolution succeeded at all considering that the commonwealth elite is practically lined with powerful telepaths

>>386714373
what use is speaking telepathically against physical weapons? the most they show is mild mind-reading and conversation

>>386714972
mind-reading is pretty useful when you're trying to sabotage a covert organization though

and sure it doesn't help much against a bloody harp insurrection but mine was a bunch of guys singing kumbayah led by some hippie with a bird nest for hair
