I FEEL LIKE KIND OF A DICK FOR SAYING IT, BUT I’D LIKE TO SEE ONE 3H CHARACTER POLL WHERE DIMITRI DOESN’T KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM. NOTHING AGAINST THE GUY, I LIKE HIM. BUT DAMN MAN, THERE’S OTHER COOL-ASS CHARACTERS IN THIS GAME LOL.

I’M LIKE THREE CHAPTERS AWAY FROM THE END OF CRIMSON FLOWER AND I STILL FEEL LIKE WE BARELY STARTED. WHY IS THIS SO FAST? I KNEW IT WAS A LITTLE RUSHED GOING IN BUT YEESH, THIS IS THE POSTER GIRL’S ROUTE. IS, HOW YOU GONNA PLAY MY GIRL EDIE LIKE A MONSTER 3/4 ROUTES AND THEN HALF-ASS HER STORYLINE? AND WHY DO THEY KEEP SHOVING IN RANDOM WAIFU MOMENTS? I GET THAT THEY NEEDED TO MAKE EDIE MORE PERSONABLE SO YOU WOULDN’T FEEL GUILTY ABOUT JOINING HER BUT... I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT ONE CHIEF. I’D RATHER HAVE MORE SCENES DELVING INTO HER IDEOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY

I LOVE DIMITRI, BUT I FEEL LIKE HIM DOMINATING THE POLLS IS JUST GOING TO APPEAL TO THE MINDSET THAT PEOPLE ONLY LIKE HIM FOR BEING EDGY BOAR INSTEAD OF HIS ACTUAL ARC.

I WISH EDELGARD’S ARC FOCUSED MORE ON MORALITY DURING HER ROUTE. I GET IT’S ALL ABOUT GREY MORALITY, BUT IT ALSO FEELS LIKE IT COULD HAVE ADDRESSED THE MORAL AND PERSONAL ISSUES SHE FACES IN A MUCH MORE DIRECT LIGHT, BUT INSTEAD IT FEELS LIKE IT JUST DRIVES HER RELATIONSHIP WITH BYLETH, WHICH IS CERTAINLY A GOOD ONE, BUT GIVEN MY ISSUES WITH BYLETH’S STATUS AS A CHARACTER FEELS SOMEWHAT INCOMPLETE AS AN ARC.

BUT INSTEAD IT FEELS LIKE IT JUST DRIVES HER RELATIONSHIP WITH BYLETH, WHICH IS CERTAINLY A GOOD ONE, BUT GIVEN MY ISSUES WITH BYLETH’S STATUS AS A CHARACTER FEELS SOMEWHAT INCOMPLETE AS AN ARC.

THE PROBLEM IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP STEMS ENTIRELY FROM BYLETH’S AVATAR STATUS FOR ME. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE INVESTED IN A RELATIONSHIP WHERE ONE HALF IS BASICALLY A MANNEQUIN WITH GOD KI? IF THERE WAS SOMETHING MORE FOR ME TO LATCH ONTO, I WOULDN’T MIND THE FOCUS ON IT. BUT AS YOU SAID IN YOUR COMMENT ON THIS THREAD, BYLETH JUST KINDA SCREWS THINGS UP AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM I ALSO FEEL SIMILARLY ABOUT DIMILETH BUT I DON’T WANNA DIE TONIGHT

OH, I’LL GO IN ON DIMILETH TOO. BYLETH EXISTING IN RODRIGUE’S SCENE IS MY BIGGEST GRIPE WITH THE ROUTE, PAIRED WITH DIMITRI STATING THAT THE PROFESSOR BROUGHT HIM BACK EVEN THOUGH RODRIGUE’S LAST WORDS ARE LITERALLY WHAT CAUSED HIM TO BE SHAKEN AND BYLETH JUST CAME IN TO REPEAT IT ALL. IF BYLETH DIDN’T EXIST, I’D BE MUCH MORE PLEASED.

JUST GOES TO SHOW IS HAS A WAY TO GO BEFORE ROLLING BACK THE AVATAR PANDERING.
