Seath

I have always had a good sense of self awareness, the one thing that I can say that I probably discovered from reading VN's was my ideal type. I see that like me you are also a very cynical person. When I was playing Grisaia I went out of my way to do Amane's route last simply because like Yuuji I didn't trust her at all.

I had almost expected someone to double post that song. *sigh*....I guess we can't always get what we want.

It probably has a lot to do with preference really. If a story really engrosses you in it then often you will not want to leave it. I'm often guilty of getting so into a story that I completely lose my sense of time, and I have actually gone to class in the morning without a single hour of sleep. Nowadays I find that it's good to moderate yourself.

This is also a good use for your double post.

You know, If I didn't know any better I'd say that you tell people to make puns simply because it's fun to get a rise out of Ouraibaa. Speaking of trolling.

Idk, but before it was nerfed the tracking on their homing spells was so good that you could run completely in a circle around it, and go around corners to avoid it, yet still get hit by magic that has no limit to the distance it can travel. Sure you can dodge magic, but the way the level is designed limits your I-Frames when you roll. On the console version I was often sniped by sorcerers from beyond my view distance. It was ridiculous because not even player homing spells can track you at a full 360 degrees there is just nothing to compare it to.

I don't think that Amana was patched until 1.4. The sorcery of enemies in Amana was its own special brand of bullshit.

Haven't had much of a nerf either other than the Moonlight Greatsword nerf. I remember infusing my Magic Staff +5 with a magic infusion and then hitting things with soul geyser for over 2k dmg. Come to think of it, you don't have any of the patches do you Ouraibaa? The shrine of Amana is liable to piss you off if not.

Don't think that there is a stat cap, but if you have all of your stats around the same level then you'll want to take your weapon to McDuff and infuse it with a Mundane attribute to get the most damage. (that is all of your stats) If the sword has a bad grade in a certain stat then you won't get as much damage from the weapon by pumping that stat. Also stats have diminishing returns past 40 so going beyond that initially in most things isn't really a good idea, but it is sometimes necessary for things like spells. You can wield anything in one hand but you just have to have the stats required to do so. So if you are fine with heavy swords they are also an option. It will just be a slower attack. Yeah, the Bastard sword is good, but I like the claymore better. There is also the Zweihander and its reach. You can purchase a claymore from Vengarl's head in the shaded woods.

Well it's still obtainable just very difficult without going to NG+ to farm falconers who drop sunlight medals. Unfortunately most of the one handed swords in this game scale with dex primarily, and the heavy weapons scale with str. The Uchigatana would do more damage than the Broadsword if you had higher dex. The only other good str scaling sword that I believe is a straightsword would be the red rust sword that you can get from Vengarl's head from killing his body, but that is after the Duke's Dear Freja boss.

You're on the right path then, the Shaded Woods leads right to Brightstone Cove Tseldora where the Duke's Dear Freja is. After that you have to go to Drangleic castle and the Shrine of Amana, once you get to the Dragon Shrine then the backtracking starts. My advice is to buy plenty of heavy arrows/bolts and poison arrows/bolts from Gavlan when you meet him midway inbetween the Shaded Woods and Tseldora before going to Drangleic or Amana. I suppose it really depends on how your stats are distributed, but Katana's are nice as is the Sun sword that you get from giving 20 sunlight medals in the Heirs of the sun covenant. You can get a Blacksteel Katana from farming the Alonne Knights in the Iron keep, or buy an Uchigatana from McDuff in the Bastille.

Quite a bit still. You'll need to kill the four major bosses before you can open the Shrine of Winter to even enter Drangleic Castle. (The Old Iron King,The Lost Sinner, The Rotten, and The Duke's Dear Freja)

HA! I knew that I had heard it from somewhere before. Though I'm genuinely surprised to find someone else who actually read Molester Man.

You know, It's been eating at me for a while now, you see I feel like somewhere in the back of my mind I should know exactly what your referencing, but for the life of me, I can't recall.

Well I just gave up and named myself after a Dark Souls character. At least your name has some originality.

It's just the order that the options to enter their routes occur in.

Well the reason I don't have skype yet mostly has to do with the fact that I was born with the worlds most abysmal naming sense. The reason that I don't have a MAL or VNDB is also due to the fact that I am still racking my brains trying to come up with a proper handle. I also can't voice chat because a problem with the PC that I am currently using is that for some reason the sound card will output sound, but when I try to input sound for recording or other purposes it just comes out as a garbled static. I suppose I could buy another one for cheap, but I see little purpose in doing so when I intend to save up for another PC later on. HA! Speak for yourselves.

Not even with this girl?

Yes, the world and it's double standards is cruel. In all seriousness though I find the Miyako ends to be nothing short of hilarious. There is also the fact that they are the only translated way of ending with Miyako at present.

Yeah, I really can't see it as rape either. Chris would have been able to fend Yamato off if she really actually had even made any attempt whatsoever to resist. Both her and Margit's routes seem to be designed to go down a S&M path. This was more slight bondage play than anything. You could play Margit's route first to help better prepare yourself if need be.
