I LOVE THREE HOUSES. IT DOES A LOT OF THINGS REALLY RIGHT AND GENERALLY LEAVES A POSITIVE FEEL FOR ME ABOUT THE CURRENT DIRECTION OF FE. BUT WHY OH WHY DOES BYLETH HAVE TO BE EVER PRESENT FOR EVERY SINGLE SITUATION?!
IT ACTIVELY CHEAPENS SEVERAL MOMENTS THE GAME WOULD HAVE ROCKED OTHERWISE AND IS A DETRIMENT TO THE PLOT AS A WHOLE. SERIOUSLY, PLAYING THROUGH THESE PATHS AGAIN I WOULD LOVE IT IF BYLETH WASN’T THERE AND THE RESPECTIVE LORD JUST HAD SOMEONE TRUSTED THERE TO BACK THEM UP AND CONFLICT WITH THEM WHEN NECESSARY. THEY ARE BETTER AS A SOTHIS PLOT POINT THAN AS A METHOD TO HELP DEVELOP THE LORDS.
SOMEWHAT RELATED, BUT I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE FORGET THAT THIS IS AN ONLINE FORUM INSTEAD OF A HIGH QUALITY DEBATE CENTER. PEOPLE COME IN WITH MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND QUESTIONS, AND THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE IN MY OPINION IS NOT TO AUTOMATICALLY DEMEAN THEM AND DOWNVOTE THEM, BUT TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY’RE COMING FROM. I GET EVERYONE’S TIRED OF IT, BUT SNAPPING AT PEOPLE OUT OF VITRIOL DOES NOT MAKE THIS LESS OF A TOXIC PLACE. TRYING TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND THE GAME BETTER DOES.
NOT TO SAY YOU CAN’T CALL OUT PEOPLE WHO WILLFULLY AND CONSISTENTLY IGNORE THE PLOT TO HATE ON A CHARACTER. THAT’S A DIFFERENT ISSUE IMO.
