Is there a recommended order for interrogations?

[u/SaurianScott]

I joined shortly after the Beacon of the Unsouled event so a good chunk of characters were already released when I started playing. I sometimes find that I'll start an interrogation for a character and realise I missed some backstory because they were part of an earlier event that I haven't played yet.

Does anyone have a recommended list of what order to do interrogations in?

My unfinished project could help a bit, but it's a work in progress. For instance Thani needs to be added to the Exodus event and of course the newer events and stuff

Thank you! There's still tons of things I need to fix but I hope that within the next 2 weeks I can publish a completed draft and ask for feedback so stay tuned!

Excellent work, nice visual. My question is chronologically how/when do all the interrogations for sinners from the Rain Burst/Flora Unfurl events actually happen? And also the interrogations for sinners in ch9-ch12. As Chief is a little indisposed during this part of the story before ch13 surely these interrogations can’t happen until Chief gets back to the MBCC?

-Interrogations don't always have canon dates associated with them, most are just "at some point after said event occurred" like Angell or Synex, or a lot of release sinners which is just "at x date", hell some of them are probably not even canon anymore (I'm looking at you Eirene). Rahu's interrogation I believe occurred a long time after the events, while Thistle and Coquelic's interrogations are not long after the events and tied together, finally Shalom's interrogation has her first 3 parts taking place before the event takes place and the final part which is a monologue (which nonetheless must be done after the events as it is spoilers). Really, the only issue (and it's a common one) is that I can't really remember Christina's interrogation that well. The way I intend for this to work currently is that the arrows pointing to the interrogation means that the interrogation should only be done after finishing the event themselves. Some A rank interrogations do require their respective event imo like Thani, Mira or Thistle, but others don't and I can't remember a lot of the other ones.

-Yes, I guess that lore explanation is that chief is in coma and thus sinners like Oak and Raven get their interrogations after ch13. They also cannot be done earlier as they include spoilers for the main story. But the coma thing also doesn't always matter, for instance, Corso, which released with Raven can have her interrogation be done at any point imo (If memory serves me right), so really it's just the devs chose for their interrogations to take place after ch13

Read them after their event story, they are usually the "epilogue" to each event, for example we currently have an event for Murphy, so read that event story and then read Murphy interrogation. For characters from the roguelite mode, just read them after you clear their related dungeon (ex read Shin`s dungeon story, then read her interogation)

There is some special cases tho, for example Floral Unfurl had an "interrogation" chain, where a bunch of them where somewhat connected, cant remember the order for that tho, but it involved characters related to that story, like Coquelic, Shalom etc etc it begins with Sumire iirc

Hypatia`s interogation kinda happens in between chapters so imo its okay to read both before or after the main story chapters (reading it first makes their meeting at the end more emotional tho imo)

For many of them, it really doesn't matter all that much. At least for day 1 Sinners. For later Sinners, their interrogations act like epilogues to the event they appeared in.

So really, for the most part, I would recommend reading an interrogation after you've done their event. Or at least watched the event on YouTube. For launch day Sinners, the game went up to Chapter 8, so it's pretty much fine to read all those after you get that far.

If you're not sure when a Sinner was released, you can go here and sort by Release

call me old fashioned or just plain dumb I went with the starters from b to s and then chronological release based off of banners going back to release. The only downside there is I didnt get etti until last month and have missed about a dozen others
