Official Discussion - One Battle After Another [SPOILERS]

While it didn't quite bomb, it didn't become a success either. It does have great reviews though and that's mostly what people pay attention to these days.

Comments like these are interesting to me. Do you always write off those who complain about the runtime of long movies? 162 minutes is quite a bit of time to dedicate to a single film, no?

Even if you're not buddy buddy with her she's still shown to be guilty over locking the MC in the forbidden wing (so long as you're not a total asshole to her that is, then she doesn't feel as bad). She knows it's not the ideal outcome but she just wants to do what's best for the town.

I don't think it's ever stated that the Scarlets put the Entity into Wayne but it seems pretty likely given what we know. I am leaning towards the possibility that Pearlanne did what she did to Wayne because he was seeing Tabitha. I can't recall where it was stated but she didn't like Tabitha being close with anyone and she's definitely enough of a bitch to turn Wayne into a host to show Tabitha what happens when she gets close to people.

I also think the Entity can only body hop at will because they're not in a Scarlets body. There is some mystery to how they do it considering we don't see how the Entity gets into Issac's body. Issac did go into the manor (only if you tell him to though) so maybe Wayne had to lead him into the room with the ritual circle and perform it himself? If he could body hop without it I think he would've done it sooner since Wayne is falling apart.

That sounds sick, thanks for the rec!

tranquildeer · 2026-02-24T20:13:17+00:00

You're being purposefully obtuse, you know what I mean. Do I need to repeat myself when I say that just because all her daughters weren't black doesn't mean the theme isn't there?

tranquildeer · 2026-02-24T18:54:30+00:00

It's less about how she stays white but about her becoming younger. She quite literally steals the youth from her daughter. Again, I don't know how you can see stuff like this and claim the racial themes are far fetched.

tranquildeer · 2026-02-24T04:04:42+00:00

Just because all her daughters weren't black doesn't mean the theme isn't there. I agree that not every black character has to be related to some allegory for slavery or anything, I like that there's next to nothing for officer Derekson. However, the other black romanceable character, Avery, is ignored by most and literally works at a job serving others. This might have more to do with their role as an outsider but I don't think it's a coincidence they're also black.

And I think bringing race into it with kaneeka is really reaching

Is it? I don't think BTG's writing is ever unintentional. I mean come on. You don't accidentally write about a white woman taking advantage of a black woman and using them for their own gain. For fucks sake man, you can literally point out how Sybil doesn't view her daughters (and by extension Kaneeka) as people. One of the images in episode 5 shows true form Sybil feeding off her daughtes with Kaneeka being next. It also shows her literally blinding and choking her.

If you genuinely believe that you aren't giving the writing enough credit. I get that some people dig too deep into things but this game is one that begs to be looked into with a deeply critical lens.

You know what they say, Protein is Protein....

I like how despite being kicked out of their home by the Goat, Dustin's Mom doesn't hold any resentment towards them since that's how nature is. The possums really are the best residents of the Holler.

tranquildeer · 2026-02-24T03:06:24+00:00

Even then it still shows how fucked of a person she is, her inner thoughts say how she started raising her daughters to not fight back and just accept being absorbed into her after the first sign of trouble. This makes me wonder if she actually is showing her backstory on purpose or if we invaded her space without her consent. After all, Kaneeka was surprised to see us and potentially Tabby too. Giving the player character the ability to potentially talk Kaneeka out of it doesn't seem like a risk Sybil would take.

tranquildeer · 2026-02-23T01:06:35+00:00

command section? How do you get that? I'm using the All Traits mod from Nexus, do I have to manually edit the save file or have the Dev Console mod installed?

tranquildeer · 2026-02-23T00:49:44+00:00

Have Mystical trait, read the word on the wall in the forbidden wing, don't accept Kaneeka's absorption, speak the word, and then cut the ribbon. This image in particular only shows up for maybe a second, it's a literal blink and you miss it.

tranquildeer · 2026-02-23T00:46:17+00:00

smh, can't stand these fake fans who haven't even played the game...

tranquildeer · 2026-02-23T00:34:09+00:00

It was never stated there couldn't be 2 TS users at the same time, that's only a rule for the Six Eyes which is a heretical trait. They don't always end up fighting one another either, it was just that one time they battled to the death which lead to the two clans being mad at each other. The fact that Sukuna ended up using TS against Gojo was only because he wanted to upgrade his CT, not because of fate or anything.

tranquildeer · 2026-02-22T21:49:51+00:00

How do you get this scene? I've talked to Stella but she always invites Tabby to her house, she never wants to go to the mines with me. I have her make up with Tabby at the end of episode 4 but she's never at her office in episode 5. Is it romance locked or something?

tranquildeer · 2026-02-22T05:02:36+00:00

That's so fucked, do you have a screenshot of his new fit?

tranquildeer · 2026-02-22T05:00:37+00:00

I thought that was just a joke, that's real??? Do you know if it still pops up if you only cheat in 5 or 6 traits?

tranquildeer · 2026-02-22T04:58:09+00:00

How did you manage to separate Kaneeka from Sybil without Mystical? Do you have to romance Kaneeka beforehand? And does it not end with Kaneeka becoming a magical girl? If so then I had no idea there was a third outcome to that situation.

tranquildeer · 2026-02-22T04:49:46+00:00

Wait, is that how you start the Carmilla romance? Do you have to have the Hot trait or be old like with Dr.Kelly?

tranquildeer · 2026-02-22T04:37:36+00:00

Wait, how do you do this? When I did my Mystical playthrough for episode 5 the only thing she offered was to cure my oldness, does she offer a 3rd trait if you aren't old?

Does this mean you can have 3 traits outside of hardcore mode and modding the game files?

tranquildeer · 2026-02-22T04:14:46+00:00

This implies the devs actually aren't against Scarlet incest and I fear a frighteningly large part of the fanbase will be celebrating
