Permadeath

Guys, Fire Emblem's hard enough, w- especially when you turn on the permadeath like, you know, a Fire Emblem player should.

No, no shade at the people that turn it off, but, you know, I, I'm, I'm playing Fire Emblem, not Final Fantasy Tactics.

Permadeath is on.

Wow.

But, you know, normal mode because I'd like to finish the game sometime in 2027.

Make tough decisions about where to live, what to build, and who to recruit in your community.

Permadeath is an ever-present danger in your community.

Every risk must be weighed." Again, even reading that I'm like, "Oh, that just sounds like State of Decay."

But people want State of Decay, though.

had not picked

Permadeath, if he could have survived.

Survived.

Because it felt like a scripted event to me.

Oh, that's good.

Like, you might not remember this, Dave, but XCOM, XCOM 2, they have Fog of War and Permadeath.

And there are situations in XCOM 2 where if your guy moved one extra block, it revealed in the Fog of War a big

thing that kills it in one hit.

Nice.

And then they do encourage you to play permadeath.

So if you do lose a guy, they're dead.

Yeah.

um but i just save scum if i someone dies so no one's ever gonna die on my squad i don't

like people dying i'm doing permadeath normal so far no one's died i've had a close call though

i have had people die and i've had to restart the mission um but like yeah i haven't really run into like a challenge yet where i'm like oh, this is, like, I'm really going to have to, like, really restart and, like, go all the way back to the den and, like, pick a new set of heroes or whatever.

I will say about, like, roster selection, I think there's a great variety of different specializations and, like, troops and stuff.

That's not fun for me.

I would rather play without Permadeath, but that's just me.

You can turn the Permadeath off in Zero Company if you want to.

i've opted to keep it on but um because i do because i think the game is a little more of an arcadey experience than something like fire emblem actually um where i think it's uh and it's i think that's on purpose it's a star wars game right like they don't want to make it like too difficult but again there's a ton of options that if you want that difficulty it's there so yeah um so that's it guys that's kind of the main thing i've been playing other than uh file fantasy 14 i wrapped up the the story of for dawn trail leading into the next expansion because they just released the patch with the the end of kind of that story and then bridging to get to the new expansion which comes out in january so it's only a couple months away actually um so pretty excited about that as well so um that's where i'm at at this point and then uh after the show today garrett uh the blizzcon opening ceremony is happening garrett

Oh, yeah, that's going on in Austin, Texas.

Med bay takes so many cycles.

Um, you can turn off permadeath.

Permadeath is basically like your character goes down three times, has, uh, two, two injuries.

And on the third, they die.

Um, there is a little memorial section and the tutorial makes you put a character in danger and they die.

that.

But yeah, Permadeath and Fire Emblem and Valkyria Chronicles and Fallout.

That was my first thing that came to mind.

Something to add on to yours is having decided to...
