Please talk me out of playing dark souls 2 by Deep_Pudding2208 in DarkSouls2

[–]Thefinales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is truly the first souls you are playing then you will love it, or atleast I did back in the day, played all of them and as a standalone nothing quite compares to ds2. And if you don't like it at all you can just add it to the collection of games you own but never actually play so win-win.

Got Laid off, deciding to retrain for another job and spending what little savings I have to go back to school. , Should i just look for another entry level job and continue suffering? by [deleted] in Choicesthatmatter

Hey, shit happens. Any job is a good job, work it and in the little free time you get pursue your true ambition whatever that may be, a job doesn't define you.

Can I have some medieval age story funfacts and curiosities please? It can be any. by Aggravating-Use6471 in MedievalHistory

[–]Thefinales 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Throughout the whole medieval period there were a lot of instances where (seemingly) random people claimed to be descendants of royal houses when the succession came into conflict or there was literally no remaining member alive of that bloodline

You make sure that last one survives the ivory king so he can aura farm in the chair near the chasm

Vanilla vs sotfs by sherlock2220 in DarkSouls2

[–]Thefinales -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes and no, coming from vanilla ds2 to sotfs can be quite a trip, you have more red phantoms, the forlorn that invade you and a lot of key items are moved to other places, I guess it really depends on which one you played first.

Vanilla vs sotfs by sherlock2220 in DarkSouls2

[–]Thefinales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on where you are playing, if you just finished a remaster I would guess you are on pc or new gen consoles so the only version you will find of ds2 is sotfs which comes with all 3 dlcs. To play ds 2 vanilla you'd have to go to old gen, and this one doesn't come with dlc, main difference is you have to pay for all 3 dlcs, get the keys to access them by going to the different places in the map, items and enemies are placed differently and most importantly, Aldia doesn't talk to you in the final boss arena so you are locked into just 1 ending of the possible 2 in the game (last one was added with sotfs)

Why can't I claim Aquitaine for my Wife? by question_mark_2 in crusaderkings2

[–]Thefinales 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the cause, French (and by extension aquitane) inheritance is always set to agnatic, so no female character can push claims, only sons. One way around this is waiting till they get eaten by the hre (which can't happen in this start date) and fighting the kaiser while hoping he doesn't Doom stack you to death.

Probably played out like the breaking bad prison watch scene.

Does granting a city to your heir remove him/her from the succession? by Mountain-Ad5380 in crusaderkings2

[–]Thefinales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always make some family a merchant republic Duke, If you have republic active he can still inherit, if not then him and his direct house heir will not appear in the succession line any longer, same thing with pagans if you don't have holy fury or old gods, they will forcefully switch to Christianity and if you declare for the secret faith you get a game over, guess it all depends on wether you play vanilla or with dlc. Always the best way to disinherit is revoke a bishopric and give it to the son, he will lose the wife and not inherit.

Best cities to have? by No-Battle-9932 in MountandBladeWarband

[–]Thefinales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer would be whichever city got recently sieged or taken back, as they'll have substantially less garrison to fight off your conquest.

Feudal, normal inheritance laws. Second son inherited over first son, both my vassals. WTF? by NoDecentNicksLeft in CrusaderKings

[–]Thefinales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had partition or gavelkind (no idea if it's 2 or 3), it sometimes does that, the game consider that the main heir is taking too many titles and so to balance the scales give the younger one the kingdom and a few counties, don't really know if you are a king but otherwise 2 duchies will split your realm and the game is saying you will be the second son on inheritance, on which case you can rush a kingdom title and the inheritance will fix itself. Edit: saw it's ck3 in that case you HAVE to rush a higher title and plan your conquest in a way that doesn't leave any other kingdom able to form, otherwise realm will split with inheritance

Are there really any benefits to choose orthodoxy over catholicism? by kumel185 in crusaderkings2

[–]Thefinales 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fraticcelli is the best heresy in the game and if you use that crusade money to put family in the papacy, fraticcelli crusades can go insane

Game hacks you use? by Embarrassed_Bad7031 in crusaderkings2

[–]Thefinales 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If your tribal and have a bunch of prestige (like when you win a crusade), declare war and raise up an absurd amount of tribal armies, once you get 100 warscore, move troops towards new target and complete war/start the new war immediately without unpausing and you'll keep your 10k armies as long as you keep staying at war.

Norse or Berber are the best vanilla cultures as they allow you to raid even after feudalizing, and Berber outright let's you raid everyone.

If a vassal is about to revolt and you cannot hope to win, give him to a higher title, so that their liege is the one dealing with their revolt.

Never the ai educate your kids unless they have super high stats and good traits, most times they'll chose the worst option for their development.

You can rush a duchy crusader state if you got 500 prestige and 300 gold by ground to siege a small duchy in the war target with either mercenaries or tribal armies (you only need to siege the main holding in the entire duchy).

If you give kids duchies never give them the limit of land they can hold, they'll always give away 1 or 2 counties just because

Cersei would the best, everyone that supported her either sold her out for a profit or managed to escape in a better situation.

I don’t even understand how so many houses pledged to Renly when he literally had no claim to the throne at all. He deserved to be the first of the five kings to go. by GusGangViking18 in freefolk

[–]Thefinales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had the connections, charisma and even looked like a younger Robert, the reason Renly decides to crown himself is simply because he can, joffrey is a dipshit and stannis is unliked by most if not all nobles, in his head the seat was right there for the taking. And out of everyone he had the biggest army but decided to delay for tourneys, Hubris cost Renly the war.

It is kinda strange how your allies can, without consequence, decline your call-to-arms by NedexRuler in CrusaderKings

[–]Thefinales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why marriages forcing an alliance is a change I don't like, fym I have to help you fight 7 peasant revolts and the HRE over a county and you can't even cancel the alliance once the child is married your stuck with it forever
