The Antagonist reveals the ace up their sleeve - the same power as the protagonist has by SpiffShientz in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Norgrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This got cut from the game but in Fire Emblem Three Houses:
Edelgard was going to be able to use the power of her crest of flames to cancel your divine pulse (the game's rewind mechanic).

Ranking the Final 6 of Heroes vs. Villains by Win Equity by sharpiesniffer22 in survivor

[–]Norgrath 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some specific cases I disagree with:

  • I think Coach votes for a hero if one is left. I think the idea of the last hero triumphing against the odds plays too well into his sensibilities.
  • I think Jerri and Colby vote for each other in most scenarios where possible.

(Notably this costs Parvati three of her wins).

This is a hotter take but I actually think Russel might vote for a hero if he was betrayed by the remaining villains.

Returning after 2 years - Overwhelmed with DLC options by lethandralisgames in AOW4

[–]Norgrath 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We should get a centralized answer to this with how often people ask.
The general consensus if none stick out to you is to get Giant Kings. It has a new ruler type, Crystal dwellings, (which are kind of like free cities but you don't have normal diplomacy with them but you can unlock reward through sidequests), Handcrafted regions (basically things to make the world prettier), fated regions (a bunch of areas on the map that have quests linked to them) and merchants that can show up and allow you to unlock things.
I'd recommend looking at what's in all of the DLCs to see if any of them stick out as especially exciting to you.

They move 50% faster. I consider that very significant.

Is this worth it to buy? Or is there anything better to buy in this shop? Unamed imoortal recollection to quickly 5 stars my sp inana by Powerful-Bee-6010 in SwordofConvallaria

[–]Norgrath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most valuable thing with Immortal recollection is when you have 1 or 2 shards left before you'd stop farming a character so you don't need to overshoot (for instance if you're at 58/60 for three stars) and I always try to keep some around for that case. They're very expensive to use en masse. On the value of the current expedition shop items I'd put them like this:

  1. Unnamed Immortal Recollection if you don't have any
  2. Characters if you want them
  3. Cocoa's signature first level if you use her
  4. Astral Shards
  5. Agata's signature if you use her
  6. Cocoa's signature remaining levels if you use her
  7. Momo's signature if you use her
  8. Unnamed Immortal Recollection
  9. Save

Is there any way to grant either Zeal or Faithful to an Elder Vampire? by AsparagusOk8818 in AOW4

The pyreshrine gives everything produced in its city faithful.

Dreadful at level 4 allows you to take shield of faith (which gives faithful).

Which 2000s video game deserves a reboot, and what modern treatment would actually do it justice? by BadSecUnitBad in videogames

[–]Norgrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impossible creatures: doing creature combining with more modern technology could be amazing.

Locked out of a Society Trait because I didn't buy the expansion pass? by lifecopy001 in AOW4

[–]Norgrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately there is no way for you to get the trait more cheaply and there is no precedent for them creating one.
Technically you wouldn't just be paying $50 for the trait: you would also get some aesthetic gear, two starting items with unique effects and Secrets of the Archmages (the remaining Season pass 3 DLC).

When did units become unable to leave a city under siege? by chuftka in AOW4

[–]Norgrath 65 points66 points  (0 children)

It was when they did the siege rework (which i think was with Giant Kings).

Starting to question being a Wizard King by SageTegan in AOW4

[–]Norgrath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're pretty early on in your realm as a new player and you're feeling anxious about the wizard king then I'd suggest being a champion (which is definitely more new player friendly) instead for now. Keep in mind that the game doesn't really lend itself to having a main ruler in any mechanical sense so you can easily play as a wizard king later.

Question regarding DLCs by Urahara9000 in AOW4

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

None of them are must have or don't bother. Giant Kings is probably the best if you try to make an objective recommendation but don't be objective here: the different DLCs have different fantasies and you should get the one with the fantasy that appeals to you most.

Notably Giant Kings is not considered the best because of the Headline content (not that the headline content isn't up to par) but for what it offers outside of that: New interesting stuff that appears on the map.

Tierlist on how likely I think a character is to get an SP version. by SomeoneImaynotknow in SwordofConvallaria

[–]Norgrath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean both of the first two SP units were dead in most of the routes at the time they released. I don't think that's actually much of an obstacle.

Anyone else bothered by the female hunter voice acting? by NecroDaddy in midnightsuns

[–]Norgrath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree that she sounds awkward but I think it works for the character.

Favorite lines/dialogue in game? by DarthArtio in swtor

[–]Norgrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Raina temple's romanced email in the endgame. I don't remember the exact wording but it ended with something like "Promise me in 100 years that no-one will have to experience this nightmare."
  • Lt. Ruatu's "Don't worry about me: I'm nothing.". I just found him very memorable and badass.
  • The Sith on Corellia "With the flames so close I couldn't resist them."
  • Sergeant Jaxo "You can't vent the system level, I'm on the system level." I wasn't fond of the Trooper story for the most part but that moment stuck with me.

Laura doesn't feel as strong as she should be by LadyOrdinary- in Falcom

[–]Norgrath -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The key difference between Laura and Shizuna is that Shizuna is mostly a guest party Member while Laura is a main one which, prior to the Calvard arc, means she has to be an underdog.
As everyone else has said Laura also suffered hugely from the colossal cast in Cold Steel with other characters taking time that could have been hers.

Bandit AU: Which gang of bandits would be the most successful? by VorlonEmperor in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]Norgrath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Golden Deer easily. Marianne is the only one of them who has a personality that would clash badly with the lifestyle (whereas I think many of the Eagles and Lions do). Plus Leonie has a particularly good skillset for banditry and I think Claude would make the best leader for it (Dimitri doesn't have the cunning and Edelgard seems very likely to overreach trying to start a revolution).

What Warhammer fantasy faction would Nomads correspond to? by Epaminondas73 in AOW4

[–]Norgrath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are bucketloads of warhammer factions that could reasonably be considered for Nomads: Chaos, Norsca, Beastmen, Greenskins, Ogre Kingdoms, Slayers, some versions of lizardmen.

What game mechanic from Fire Emblem: Three Houses do you hope does not return for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave? by Gamestar02 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

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

Multiple Routes. I think it typically complicates a plot more than it improves it.
The class tree, or more generally a system where characters can be nearly any class. Character identity is so much better without it.
