DepreceV2 posted... OK. I just beat the Golden Deer route. While it was better than Crimson Flower by a large margin, Im still a little annoyed. So much is left not answered.
What happened to Rhea? Yea she was injured but there was no info on her after the final battle. She could have died from her injuries for all I know. There was still no info on Byleths mother or the entire story of what happened before Jeralt left the monastery. I still have no idea who the mother is. Jeralt is still shrouded in mystery.
Claude never really said he was from Almyra and never got into his details about his past. He promised he would go into details after he learned about me but there was zero payoff. Dimitris death was really stupid. I thought he would escape and I would talk to
him again but nope, he just gets stabbed by spears after collapsing. Dedude just disappeared and he was never brought up again. We also never saw Hildas brother which blew my mind. How can he be mentioned so much with zero payoff? Im also shocked that Flayn and Seteth never told Byleth about who they really are. That made no sense. I got confirmation who they were through their supports and a paralogue but that was never discussed with Byleth directly.
The game also never really explained the Javelin of Light. It was used by those who slither in the dark but nothing really shows how that is happening. If it is a spell then it is unknown who is casting it since the game never really showed someone actually casting it. It also looked man made and just came out of nowhere so I question if it is just a pure spell.
I also felt like Byleth could have saved Edelgard at the end instead of killing her but I can let that pass for several reasons. I could see Edelgard using that moment of weakness to her advantage. Also, you promised several people to kill her so I guess you have no choice.
Im sure there is many more things I want to say but this is everything on the top of my head. I know the criticism seems worse that Crimson Flower but trust me its not. This route was FAR better IMO. Claude is the only sane Lord in this game.
Another thing, Im going to try to beat the Blue Lions route on Maddening. Should be a royal pain in the ass
Yeah, it is super annoying how the routes parcel out information. A lot gets answered, but you have to play every route, and even then, you still have to piece together stuff. You don't get flat out told sometimes.
Also, no spoilers, but you will realize just how fitting one of those sentences is during your BL playthrough >_>
