Board 8 > Fire Emblem: Three Houses- which did you pick first? does it matter?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I just bought this game, wondering if it matters which house you go with, and also just which you went with and why.

It depends.

If you fully intend to take the 200+ hours to play the 3 main routes, then I would strongly recommend Lions - > Eagles - > Deer.

If you have no intention of doing more than one playthrough, would pretty highly recommend the Deer.

I was leaning towards Deer, whether I wanted to do all the routes would probably depend how much I enjoy the game, so this is a pickle!

I was in a similar predicament. I ended up going with Golden Deer first. After about half a year, I'm just now starting my 2nd playthrough. I'd say go for Deer since if you end up not playing it again, you get the most lore. If you do play it again, it's not too big a loss.

Blue Lions forever

I picked golden deer, pretty arbitrarily. mostly just because I liked claude >= dimitri > edelgard based on the first few interactions you get with them. never finished playing the game. I think there is just too much stuff that slows the gameplay down and distracts from the stuff I was interested in. got bored and moved on to other things. I still feel weird about it since I do remember thinking it was a pretty solid FE game while I was playing it, but I couldn't be motivated to see it through to the end.

it's also a strange directing decision to have the game reward the player for replaying multiple different routes, but they also make it like absolute hell to replay this game because of all the boring extra side shit to do between missions and the fact that so many of the early missions are the exact same regardless of your choices.

Hmm, yeah, probably just gonna do this.

Yellow is a more complete plot, blue is a more character focused plot, red is lolnojustplayyellow.
