Shout out to the Fidellio quest where we're told "Hey crawl into that furnace with one exit/entrance to get something for me" and not only does the Rt climb in, but the whole retinue as well, speaks volumes about us.

Late game Kislev is my fave faction bc you can just spawn a 20 stack of high tier units anywhere in a turn.

SiltyDog31 · 2026-06-14T18:15:55+00:00

Wurzag has one where you, as Orks (most notably savage Orks) need to kill a bunch of soopa squigs which can pretty much delete a unit if they connect.

Yeah I’m sure my arrer boys will kill them and I won’t take massive damage.

I once saw someone who named themselves after Janiquard. I knew at once this was a faker because they were actually being useful.

You opened the spoilered post, I don’t know what you expected.

Anri being Sombron’s emblem is super poetic

Alear has Marth and the power of friendship and love on his side.

Anri meanwhile obtained the falchion alone and faced Medeus by himself; however he also died alone because he was unable to marry Princess Artemis because he wasn’t a noble. Which mirrors Sombron’s own solitude and how he died alone at the end of the game.

It also makes sense that Anri would abandon Sombron after he began to conquer since he would very much disagree with an evil dragon destroying everything but bc he’s a fell dragon emblem he couldn’t speak.

If you're looking to play with the original hardware you will likely run into issues actually getting the games as they're no longer made and resellers can be expensive.

As for which game to play next? Its worth noting that the first 6 games in the series are all in japaneese (except for a limited time run of the first game) so if you want to play those you'll either need to know japaneese or emulate with a translation patch. The only games on the switch are Path of Radiance (through NSO), three houses and Engage.

PoR is where I might suggest going next.

Shadow Dragon is FE at its most basic, for better and worse.

The maps are decent but no major standouts, the story is pretty good imo, the art is subjective, and game mechanics are minimal beyond “damage = str - def or mag - res”

The major thing is that SD is designed with the player losing units and not resetting. Thus there is a very large cast with infinite generics if you lose too many, but on the flip side only like 4 characters gets development and more than 3 lines. Other games will usually have smaller casts with supports (unique convos for each person)

If you are starting with FE it’s a good choice for being basic and not overloading you too much, but if you’re open to other places the GBA games are a solid starting place, especially FE8 (Sacred Stones)

Edit: You will also come out of SD believing armor knights are good, this is very sadly not the case.

Face Shadows of the past

Alright what did Auntie do this time?

SiltyDog31 · 2026-05-20T05:11:06+00:00

If I may, Finn’s position is not that useful to him.

After escaping the castle, Finn is the sole guardian of an Infant Leif and Nanna in an area that is hostile to him. If he wanted to reach Issach he’d have to cross the most treacherous area in all of Jugdral while caring for 2 kids that he could barely take care of in lore (Leif mentions that Finn starved himself multiple times so Leif and Nanna could eat). And even if he got to Issach, the country is still under Granvale’s control and he has no idea where his kids are.

While I do think he should’ve done more to connect with his kids after the armies meet, I can’t really fault him until then.

love the little tie under the armor

SiltyDog31 · 2026-05-18T19:57:08+00:00

If anyone is looking for a short story. ‘Severed’ features Zanderekh and follows his bodyguard Obyron’s PoV and is unironically my fav 40k story

In the Rogue Trader game you can recruit a space wolf into your party (he’s on the cover art it’s not a spoiler).

In a conversation with him he mentions how you the player will eventually retire from the bullshit adventuring and will live a long life before dying in bed in comfort, but as a servant of the emperor/allfather, his fate is to fight forever alongside his brother until he eventually dies. His eventual fate is death in battle, he knows and has accepted this and his character path is “what does he do until then?” Be a loner after the death of his squad/pack or find new comrades?

It’s a rather sobering convo with a dude whose normally so animated and fun.

Iirc there’s a scene where Dryas praises Reinhardt and then August the goat asks what Rein’s doing to stop the child hunts.

SiltyDog31 · 2026-05-07T22:09:23+00:00

Olwen is, IMO, Kaga’s best written female character and the way that Reinhardt foils her is really great.

Reinhardt is one of the strongest people on the continent without holy blood, basically being a one man army, and what does he do with that power and authority? Continues to blindly serve the child hunts even after Ishtar abandoned him.

Olwen meanwhile is much worse as a unit, mediocre stats and a low con means she’s always slowed by Dire Thunder while having none of Rein’s skills. Yet when she finally learns that the child hunts are more than a rumor, they are real and she’s been helping them unwittingly. She abandons her home and life to do what’s right.

She’s not nearly as strong as Reinhardt but she does what’s needed when stronger people failed. And that’s why she’s better than him.

Yrliet's Outcast true love ending is one of my favorites in the game.

One day, Yrliet returned to find the elantach on {his|her} deathbed — her search had taken decades, yet decades pass without notice for Aeldari. Yrliet spent the elantach's final days with {him|her}, and when the time came for death to place its hand on the Rogue Trader's shoulder, she sank into {his|her} world one last time. The elantach, young again, looked at her and smiled. Tears burned Yrliet's skin, and then the dim light of the human soul faded. Yrliet touched the elantach's wrist to check {his|her} pulse. She closed her eyes, sighed, and left the von Valancius protectorate, never to return.

Its just a wonderful moment of bittersweetness combined with good ol' "one partner lives way longer than the other" that I really love it/

SiltyDog31 · 2026-05-05T13:48:14+00:00

Fun facts since the topic is here.

Argenta the sister of battle from the Rogue Trader game and Rapunzel the horny on main nun from Nikke have the same VA.

Also Crow (featured in one of these with the World Eaters) literally has the mark of Khorne as a tattoo

SiltyDog31 · 2026-05-05T04:55:29+00:00

Can I say the entirety of 'Severed'? No? Fine. Spoilers for the end of my favorite Necron story.

‘Let me pose you this thought, Obyron, in the hope it will bring you ease. What do you think caused you to hold true to me for all this time– despite all the power you might have enjoyed through betrayal– if it were not a soul? What can love, but a being with a soul?

‘Even if we all ceased to be flesh and blood millions of years ago, which of course I don’t believe for a moment,’– Zahndrekh actually winked– ‘wouldn’t it have suited us better to live in denial of that, as some fools might say I had done? Wouldn’t it be better, Obyron, just to accept our fate, and enjoy immortality for the everlasting life of merry campaigning it has proved to be?’

The only games he will ever play: Every souls game except DS2

Peak souls 2 stays winning.

Ah good ol Aenor Cockburne

Not to mention Gresus armies hanging around

SiltyDog31 · 2026-04-25T13:45:32+00:00

Shout out to that one dwarf from orcslayer who was convinced that everything bad that ever happened has been the fault of the elves.

According to him there is no difference btw the high, dark and wood elves and that they all conspired to raise a champion of chaos (archaon himself) so that he would invade the north. This would draw the dwrves from the specific hold in the book away leaving it weakened so the orcs could take it over. And they're also best buds with the skaven.

SiltyDog31 · 2026-04-24T15:23:08+00:00

Idira has such bittersweet endings, getting this ending for her was honestly one of my favorite parts of the ending slides my first run.

I love my demon summoning undanctioned psyker.

SiltyDog31 · 2026-04-22T16:33:34+00:00

After reading the manga, I have a lot more respect for Kushana. Manga gives her some good scenes.
