NeoElfboy 07/30/20 12:15:42 AM #25:	MalcolmMasher posted... When Jeralt is killed, Byleth uses divine time travel powers to save him and Thales (who cannot time travel) thwarts this. At the end of White Clouds, Thales is ready and able to remove Byleth from the field, even though Byleth has already broken out of magical imprisonment. I don't think it's fair to say that he makes no response to Edelgard announcing she plots to kill him, either, because when she actually takes a step in that direction (at Arianhod) he promptly drops a nuke on her new fortress in order to remind her who wears the pants in their relationship. And... none of this actually matters. Yes, he drops a nuke to show off as a form of arrogant posturing... and tips his hand as to what's up his sleeve. If Thales were actually smart, he would wait for Edelgard or Rhea to kill one another, and then nuke the other. He is not smart. His stunts in the other routes are similarly ill-informed, and in fact this is why he always loses; classic villain bluster. I'm very surprised you seem to respect him, because the game certainly doesn't, which is why he never ends up as the final boss of any route. MalcolmMasher posted... On SS and VW, Thales nukes his own position, and your party survives because Rhea can tank nukes. On CF, the party would need another way. I don't think it's a great stretch that another way might exist, especially since the CF-exclusive characters (Edelgard, Hubert, and Jeritza) have reason to be considerably better-informed of the slitherers' actions and capabilities than the VW- and SS-exclusive characters. I mean, even on those routes, may I remind you that the base is only located because of work Hubert (and/or his allies) put in. Though if you'd really like you could headcanon that Thales gets to take down a bunch of his enemies with him in CF, this is still a losing play for him. --- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion <cite>NeoElfboy posted [p:942760972] in A year lat...
