| TheDurinator 08/16/25 9:41:50 PM #3 | No game that I'm aware of does it the same way DQIII does it, with the fakeout final boss being both an underling of the true final boss and the true final boss not appearing until the fakeout is defeated. In other games either the true final boss is foreshadowed heavily or it's an unrelated asspull boss. |

| Topic | I love Three Houses NG+ so much |
| TheDurinator 08/15/25 8:12:41 PM #19 | Rika_Furude posted... How hard is maddening actually?If you struggle with hard, the first few maps will probably be painful. It gets much easier as you progress and reach promotion levels. I haven't played in quite a while but iirc ambush reinforcements are only a real problem in chapter 5 where you will simply get ganked and die if you don't know where and how they spawn. It's really not particularly difficult considering it's the highest difficulty. I wouldn't necessarily recommend doing a bunch of meme builds with your units but you can clear just fine using only "canon" classes, no need to turn it into wyvern emblem. p.s., using the wolves is borderline cheating, they break the difficulty curve a ton |
| Topic | I love Three Houses NG+ so much |
| TheDurinator 08/15/25 7:10:39 PM #10 | Different strokes for different folks and all that, but 3H is unplayable to me on any mode besides NG maddening. Hard is an absolute joke and NG+ completely erases teaching and recruiting, which is what makes 3H unique. Good if you want to cut as much of the monastery out of the game as possible and focus only on the chapters, but the map design in 3H is, uh... Maddening can be (very) unbalanced at points, but so is every other FE game on its highest difficulty. |

| Topic | What's your least favorite Three Houses route? |
| TheDurinator 08/05/25 6:12:37 PM #16 | Always amazes me to think that SS was the original "intended" route since the concept of 3H was "FE without a lord" and yet everybody justifiably hates it. |

| Topic | Starting a BG3 playthrough, no DnD experience. What do I *need* to know? |
| TheDurinator 07/30/25 6:50:53 PM #15 | Ivynn posted... One exception: Rogue. Being a pure rogue is generally not recommended. You can make it work, but it won't be as strong as other pure classes, hence why most rogue players multiclass. But that's a little advanced for a first playthrough.Pure Rogue is also strong, but you need to have a very firm grasp of gameplay mechanics and enjoy mage hand micro. |
| Topic | Starting a BG3 playthrough, no DnD experience. What do I *need* to know? |
| TheDurinator 07/30/25 6:30:33 PM #10 | The game is quite easy, especially on the lower difficulties. Pick whichever class you think sounds the most fun and just roll (ha) with it. Fighter (for unga) and Bard (for everything else) are the best beginner choices. Don't bother multiclassing on your first playthrough, everything is strong as a pure class. Search areas thoroughly and pick up the huge amounts of food lying around in Act 1 and you'll have food to rest as many times as you need to. It's 99.9% impossible to brick your playthrough no matter how bad you are, you would almost have to intentionally self-sabotage. |

He was always supposed to be the evil machiavellian bastard that he is in 3Hopes but 3H's rushed, cursed dev cycle prevented him from having his own route where he actually shows it. He comes back and conquers Fodlan by force in every ending he has the opportunity to, after all. |
