@AzeriaRBRN@z_kokonut Dagda's name is "The Skyblotter" which I imagine is just like calling someone fat in the Nabatean naming convention. Sothis set him uo for failure.
@carpman99453 and not have the game spell out "You must complete this lord's part 1 or else they can only join in Limited Capacity" when that part 1 is functionally not in the game. It presents itself as an incomplete product, as it stands. I think that *is* a mistake.
The unfortunate nuance to this is that this game would've likely never released if they wanted to have all 8 routes at launch. The amount of resources it would've cost are probably the limiting factor here and they gambled that people would rather have them as DLC than not at all
FW spoilers ahead:
I don't play that many games, but in my experience, Fortune's Weave has the most anti-consumer DLC I've ever seen personally. After beating the game and browsing the datamine, there's so much missing and scrubbed content from the base game to be resold later.
@carpman99453 The way I see it is that they had a story in mind and cutting four routes required a compromise on the storytelling that they didn't want to make. I think they should've just been more up front about that in the marketing -
@ghaaast I used some specific weapons like Velheit into the lategame because of their good hit rate. Managing the Celestial Wells Gauge with cursed weapons was also useful sometimes on Anatolia, and Dietrich suffered basically zero downside form Veroquine.
@adrestianloyal I had anticipated this to be the case for Act 3 and adjusted my expectations because of it, but I wish some of the characters had optional scenes in Dagsion. For as many optional scenes as part 1 had, I was surprised part 3 only really has Fortuna.
It's not just my imagination that they made Ursula way bigger in part 3, right? Every time I see her post-timeskip design I feel like I get flashbanged
Cutting large segments and key story beats from the game is the unfortunate consequence of that, and while it still deserves plenty criticism on a planning level, this DLC is the only way we weren't getting another game with half finished routes
