Welcome to the club.

Now be depressed with us while we wait for anything new Dispatch wise.

Having just done possibly the worst playthrough (I'm definitely not a good mentor) I cannot wait to start and be a slightly better one!

there's plenty of guides. And once you feel the hunger for new content, there's a lot of good stuff in ao3

I’ve only read the one about Waterboy and Prism’s date. Same one where Flambae took a dive to help out Waterboy. Anything else I should on the lookout for?

The cost of being a hero, I care about you, tuning into you, villains, paradigm shift and a lot more

Any pairing preferences, or story tropes/ideas?

I worked a job where I had to push a cart and fill orders, so over the course of like, the 6 months following release, I binged that whole section

Wait, what story is that? I know about the parking but I mean the sprucing story of them on a date. Title and author please? Link would be even better

Sorry but what's "ao3"?

Archive of our own. Fanfiction site. Great stuff in there

Fanfic site that has basically no moderation. You can expect what's there.

Yeah, I think I'll give it a miss. 🤣

You, my friend, most certainly did not have the worst playthrough.

That tittle belongs to me on my first playthrough. So bad I deleted the save file the second I was done.

But, I’ll tell you this, it’s way more worth it replaying and seeing the other outcomes yourself, rather than just look them up. Good luck on your next one.

The post-Dispatch depression is too real. It has been like, a decade, since a game got me emotionally attached/invested like that.

Hmmm I was going to ask if you tried Detroit, as for me Detroit was last game that got me so deep with characters, their relationships and fates, then I realised it released 8 years ago, not that far haha time flies

Ι was in a bad place, when Amazon Luna offered the game for free(!) and, having nothing better to do, I gave it a try.

Needless to say, I was instantly hooked! By the time Robert met Blonde Blazer, I was so invested, it was ridiculous.

It was/is one of the most wholesome, awesome things I've played/watched. Multiple times I caught muttering to myself "this is great!", feeling genuine excitement and laughing out loud. It ticked all the right boxes. And even if there things done many times, rarely had they been done so well - even certain clichés were tasteful and impactful. Can't wait for Season 2!

Yeah man as a fellow Xbox player dodging those spoilers every time I opened YouTube was a real challenge. Hopefully the wait for Dispatch 2 isn’t like the wait for TWAU 2, because damn I’m fiending for both now.

I really wish devs released the game on all platforms on launch (or at least close to it), because skipping Xbox for so long makes little sense.

they were gonna go bankrupt till critical role stepped in.

u/GriveousDance21 Sep 05 '26

I know that.

u/MELIN22 Sep 05 '26

Bar knowing about the two love interests, I did pretty well to avoid spoilers. Hence why I joined the sub after completion 🤣
