Holy Fuck Banner Saga rules.

Vindicated.

[Queequeg]

Still could have used some talking ducks.

Are the rest of the installments going to be DLC or automatically downloaded like Walking Dead?

[Scipio]

I'll tell you one thing- it's precariously sharply balanced. I'm at the final battle, and it's pulling a middle of FFT bullshit deal on me.

I've failed it twice so far. Have you beaten it, Scips? Any thoughts on strategy?

I actually got Bellower once, but then you have to fight him again. That's a non-starter, so I reset the whole thing. I've got five of six characters at level 4, and I make short work of the dredge by concentrating on having Iver and Hakon break armor and Griss and Mogr soak damage, while Rook and Alette kill.

But I ran into a glitch; even though it says Alette has the silver arrow, her special shows up as her normal special. I'm going to reload and try it.  The secret is that first battle ends as soon as you shoot the silver arrow into bellower.

[Scipio]

So, reloaded, and then I remembered to reapportion Iver's points (duh!). So then I won, with a nice touch- critical hit by Rook to kill Bellower for a perfect 20.

Excellent.

[fhdz]

That's no strategy.

[Scipio]

Insta-kill instead of two shots. He was dead either way.

[fhdz]

Wait, are you saying you can kill him without having to fight him twice?

[Scipio]

Nope.

[fhdz]

Nope.

OK. Man, what a tough fight.

[fhdz]

Nope.

OK. Man, what a tough fight.

Got him.

[spoiler]So does Aelette die if she shoots the arrow?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Did in my game. I'm going to do another run-through and see if it happens again.[/spoiler]

[Queequeg]

[spoiler]Rook dies if he shoots the arrow. I'm not going to have a 13 year old girl die in front of her father's eyes because she took his responsibility in any of my playthroughs.[/spoiler]
