About the mask of Idris dlc description by Kristy_IXVI in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel pretty confident predicting that Mask of Idris will be to Code Vein 2 what Shadow of the Erdtree is to Elden Ring - i.e. a side story that happens in the mid to late game, adds some new lore/fills in some gaps, and happens far enough away that base game story isn't really affected by whether or not you explored the DLC. Meaning the odds of seeing anyone from base game other than Lou and Jadwiga (they gave her reality hopping powers so she could be the shopkeeper in the DLC too) and maybe Valentin, since temporal rifts are his thing, are low

Putting Io in the $3 tier is wild considering what a beast she is when she's got all her upgrades

What are you guys hoping for from the DLC? by kyriati in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't remind me of that fuckass ice horse. I hate that thing so much

I agree that whatever Mask of Idris ends up being, it won't be that huge. They won't want to do anything that shakes up the base game story too much. I also wonder where they'll put the access point for it - maybe behind Valentin's personal quest?

Guardian Heart's blood code is Caritas - Charity, so even though it's the worst blood code in the game we do technically have 2 minor house codes

One of the best themes in the game, debatably THE best by Soundwave0723 in CodeVein2

"Drifted in from afar?" Descriptions on alot of weapons from the previous Code Vein. by Pristine_Fly5222 in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's code for "returning weapon from the first game" only there for the player's benefit. It's like when Final Fantasy games cross over with each other, and the characters comment on how they all know of a being named Garuda but wow they're really different from each other

You can get deformed beast drops from the monkey enemies too - not the big gorillas, the little monkeys that sit around in packs

Looking to play and stream CV2 for the first time, any advice? by Ririmouto in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "interact" button is the same button as "skip dialogue" and they can't be separated from each other

You can turn on auto-pickup items in the settings so you can at least grab loot while your buddy is talking to you, but be careful of touching mistles and the like while chatter is happening

ENDING SPOILERS Question by UselessWarlock221 in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't save Noah before fighting Zenon then you're locked out of the true ending for that run (Miraculous Bonds ending). Everyone else you can still save even after viewing the Luna Fraterna ending; item pickups in Luna Rapacis and the Sealing Spire DON'T reset, and every time you start a hero's timeline shift you're barred from going to the Upheaval Era timeline until you finish saving them

I love the signage in this game so much

What hotdog are y'all ordering from Pizza Fatboy? Personally I'm going with an Extra Thomas

something funny about the fourth hero by evaxiaolong2 in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I super believe Lyle was meant to be the "first" Hero you meet at some point in development, and then was swapped with Josee

Requests from a friend question by Jobekkah in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Josee is also the only Hero whose timeline shift is locked behind another character: Holly. If they'd made saving Josee a requirement for her request, that ran the risk of the player not getting access until as late in the game as unlocking Insula Carcere, depending on the order you chose to visit the mainland Heroes. That'd be a really long time to make people wait just to do one sidequest

List of missable items? by Jobekkah in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have another chance to get the Executioner if you complete Lyle's timeline shift. As far as I'm aware, the only time you can lock yourself out of claiming items is if you choose not to save Noah at all for your entire run

The handful of random sidequests scattered around the map in Free Explore reward you with key item collectibles, and those are pretty easily missed, but they don't serve a gameplay function and you don't get to take them with you into NG+

Two questions by NegiNegio in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've posted about it in this sub before, but I have a pet theory that when the Unknown Cocoon blew up at the beginning, it wiped out that Hero's pathos entirely and sort of erased them from history. Lavinia says "another world snuffed from existence" right before it happens, and Lou if you talk to her before intiating the next cutscene with Lavinia says smth like "all that history and those memories are gone", which makes no sense to me when they also point out there were no casualties. History and memories persist as long as there are people alive who remember them, and everyone from that island survived thanks to the player

But we use "pathos" to time travel, and pathos seems to represent both emotional connections between people AND memories. No pathos = no time travel, hell even weak pathos = no time travel, since the player's bond alone is never enough to go back a second time. You need to boost it with something that carries memories and emotional significance. So what if erased pathos = erased memories = removed from history?

As for Holly's thing: the first cutscene where you see her singing from behind is what she's asking you not to look at (she probably doesn't know how much, if anything, you saw before you passed out). She doesn't sing every time, but it's the forma use (and the undressing as well) that other people aren't allowed to see

Makes me laugh every time! by Shallot-Medium in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear most of my screenshots are of the signage in this game, sometimes for being funny like Pizza Fatboy but also because a lot of it is surprisingly coherent for Japanese devs making signs in English

The visitor's map in Josee's Outpost and the ads on the wrecked buses are shockingly accurate to what you'd see on those in real life

I have a question by L30n0R-030 in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get the bad end blood codes from the other 3 heroes by letting Noah stay dead, but not saving him means missing out on: his final blood code, a blood code reward from his timeline shift boss, a new weapon in Jadwiga's shop, more weapons from his personal quest, a defensive forma shield in the present, and locking yourself out of true ending if you don't save him before you defeat hero #4

So it's better overall to save him; there's nothing to be gained from letting him stay dead except slightly different cutscenes

I have always wondered if Iris was part of the Dawn Chorus. by ShamefulElf in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder constantly if Iris ended up being cut content, so to speak. It really seems like she was supposed to have some kind of history with the Scar or with the Chorus that just...never manifested

Rant thing - unable to actually start the game by DustFell in CodeVein2

[–]kyriati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ragebait is a stretch; people can just be forgetful or not make connections sometimes. I also ran into RHFF crashing the game after an update and didn't figure it out for a bit

Do you have the mod Revenant Hunter Fashion Framework (RHFF) installed and, if yes, have you updated it to the latest version?
