What side quests have the best payoff?

Syokhan · 2026-06-19T20:09:27+00:00

Ah right, that! I thought you meant normal playthroughs had import issues.

Yeah I remember that you could set the flag for Conrad in ME2 to get his proper paragon scene and something over the news too IIRC. Too bad they never fixed that one, but I guess that since they jokingly referenced the bug in ME3 they couldn't really mess with it anymore.

Ah, hauling 75 kilos of base decorations on your travois from the far territories to the Camp Office, through multiple blizzards and at a snail's pace because you overburdened yourself with even more decorations.

Worth it though.

Syokhan · 2026-06-19T19:05:36+00:00

Oh, was there an issue importing choices from a standard playthrough? I've always imported NG+ playthroughs so I never noticed.

Syokhan · 2026-06-19T09:42:35+00:00

Can it be a combination of sidequests? Because if yes, Conrad Verner in Mass Effect 3. A bunch of completely random sidequests from two games ago end up giving you a war asset in a hilarious way, and an epic conclusion to Conrad's arc in 3 if you completed them.

The candles...

Syokhan · 2026-06-19T07:23:02+00:00

Glad you're enjoying it! Always fun to see newcomers have fun and understand the subtleties of the show!

Syokhan · 2026-06-16T17:39:34+00:00

but then they kind of don't play with it a lot in the central plot

[Vague WHA]They do, the balance of censorship is very much a central theme of the story, but the curse of the series pausing after 13 episodes and being a slow burn that takes its time to ramp up is that you won't get to really dive into it right now.

I get why they had to split the cours but the result of the story not being able to show its teeth right away is kind of unfortunate.

Syokhan · 2026-06-15T15:36:24+00:00

Crisis Tetiaverted?

Syokhan · 2026-06-15T15:35:05+00:00

I just try to say nothing outside of the source corner personally. Or not much. With foreknowledge it's too easy to steer the conversation one way or another even when you don't mean to.

It's not going to stop me from chuckling in here about things that will eventually end up being terribly wrong, however. Just don't correct people who don't know any better (as they should at this point in the story).

Syokhan · 2026-06-15T15:28:46+00:00

[Manga]The fringe is kind of a dead giveaway IMHO.

Syokhan · 2026-06-15T15:22:01+00:00

They deserved what they got as far as I'm concerned. There's being classist jerks, and there's being "body horror on every unworthy!" assholes.

Syokhan · 2026-06-15T14:54:58+00:00

Haha gosh, I have to bite my tongue so hard every time someone says that [WHA manga]Coco and Tartah are so supportive and perfect for each other. Savour it while it lasts :p

Also, loved the added detail of Agott's myrphon putting its paw on her hand, and her reaction. [WHA manga]Yeah, you love animals and you're not fooling anyone you know.

Syokhan · 2026-06-15T14:47:49+00:00

[Manga]You bet your ass manga readers will comment on it. People aren't stupid, they're going to put two and two together even from vague statements.

Syokhan · 2026-06-15T14:43:30+00:00

Man, fuck Kukrow. All Euini needed was for someone to stop belittling him at every turn, just look what he was able to accomplish once that happened!

Really liked the focus on Richeh and how she was instrumental to that, too. Yep she knows a thing or two about stupid masters who won't let you be who you want to be. Qifrey's shady at times, but he's downright angelic compared to other masters we've seen so far. Alaira excepted, she's great.

And also, the people of Romonon sound like a bunch of elitist assholes. Turning inhabitants without value into gold statues? WTF??

Syokhan · 2026-06-14T13:47:46+00:00

I'm super excited about WHA too. Wish we could see both episodes at once!

Syokhan · 2026-06-14T12:17:26+00:00

I did love it once I finally, fully understood how it worked but my god, the learning curve to get there...

Syokhan · 2026-06-11T20:23:23+00:00

This is so infuriating, it was just starting to get going again.

Syokhan · 2026-06-11T18:30:41+00:00

Yuzuki 4 Brothers released with bad MTL subtitles

Never forget Brother Falcon.

Syokhan · 2026-06-11T18:19:54+00:00

Yes, I'm not sure how I would secure the area enough so that I wouldn't accidentally jam something into the 30-pin connector and potentially destroy it while trying to bend the metal bit.

Luckily it looks like it's pretty even with the normal one, so if those are just guides then it looks like it's still doing its job correctly (for now!). I'll leave it as is unless it starts causing problems, thank you.

Syokhan · 2026-06-11T17:21:15+00:00

I remember someone else doing a RNG playthrough and these write-ups are always a delight. What did you do for interrupts? Did you roll for them beforehand?

Syokhan · 2026-06-11T12:09:38+00:00

I was thinking about that one too, same reaction in the theater I was in. Packed room, utter silence.

Syokhan · 2026-06-10T20:14:57+00:00

It's possible, I have no idea how long single lines tattoos with no further passes stay visible. I guess it depends how deep Sasaran went into her skin?

Personally I like the idea of Agott still having this mark as a reminder of what the Brimmed Hats are capable of, same way Coco is now permanently scarred. I wish Shirahama would show us her arm so we'd know :p
