Even some of his Afflicted barks from DD1 - "I can't get their faces out of my head," "A reflex - I didn't mean to...", "No! I DIDN'T KILL HER.

I think one of the most interesting things here is that almost all the stories are tragedies of varying types. We have tragedies born of hubris(Occultist, Man-At-Arms), accident(Highwayman, Plague Doctor, Hellion), or circumstance(Jester, Grave Robber, Runaway). The sole exception is Leper, who, sees that a tragedy is coming, and ends it like the absolute Chad he is.
@himedo15123 жыл бұрын
Leper's tragedy is his leprosy. He didn't prevent his tragedy. That's why his portrait looks into the light, while everyone else looks into the dark. The thing isolating him from society is his psychical illness, not his character or actions. All other characters have done something or have some self-perceived wrong that has occurred. For instance, terrible people or not, Jester still chose to kill a whole lot of people. Leper has no regrets and does not believe he did anything wrong, nor has he. That's why he is different, he has no dark past or regrets. His issue is his body, which you see as he hides it.
@noahandrulis90773 жыл бұрын
@@himedo1512 fair enough. Leper’s still the odd man out, though. I have to wonder if his Leprosy is the result of one of those eldritch beings like the Heart of Darkness seeing that there’s a fairly good chance Leper could kill them singlehandedly if he was healthy. I mean, anyone in a setting where the weapons are mostly realistic who wields a Buster Sword effectively in combat(though admittedly, it’s more of a greatclub with a sharp edge akin to Guts’ sword from Berserk than the traditional oversized anime sword in how Leper uses it) while dying of Leprosy(though Leprosy mostly affects manual dexterity and eyesight, which explains Leper’s low accuracy/self-blinding) is a man to be feared.

The Leper was a just king and he cared for his people, but he had little love for his court. Vindictive some would say. When he was sick and he heard of their plans he went "This shall not stand! Fetch a smith!" And then took care of business. The Jester heard what seems to have been an Eldritch-influenced music, possibly created with (not so) divine inspiration. He was enraptured by the song and the talent it allowed him to show got him a spot in the local court of nobles. However, the nobles just wanted a pincushion to stick knives in and huniliate. Eventually he snapped, played the song, and while the nobles reeled from a mild case of Mind Shattering Music, he killed them as an epic revenge. Then he sliced his hand in order to forever destroy his ability to play music like that again.

The descendant apparently is the dude that bust the door down at the beginning of the game, surprisingly. If you read into it deeply the beginning of DD2 is talking about one of the ancestors students. But the narrator now could be you, the descendant, and you basically knocked your current self’s, the student, door down. But really if you believe that you should also believe there is no descendant in the first place since the ending of dd1 [spoiler] Explains that ruin has come to “our family,” preceded by “the family of man.” So the entire series is just mankind being compelled by some eldritch horror to cleanse said horror so it could consume them.

Tutorial for "A Dark Song" (jester hero shrine ep. 4) In order to play a melody, the notes need to align with the other side (jester's position does not matter), use the other moves to change position: Crescendo - move jester forward, useless Diminuendo - move jester backwards, useless Improvise - shuffles notes, spam till it's good enough Nota Cambiata - change note, fix that one note that doesn't fit U gotta do it in 10 turns (every non-melody gives 1 stress, reaching the meltdown threshold means you wasted your fucking time), and u gotta play 3 melodies lol

They did a great job with the Shrine battles. They each relate to how the heroes behave during an actual fight. Occultist balances between DPS and healing, while building up toward a big attack with his Unchecked Power. Highwayman moves around on the battlefield to attack key targets, alternating between keeping himself out of an opponent's reach and closing in for the kill. Hellion is a strong attacker with a lot of abilities related to self-preservation, but her effectiveness wanes as the battle wears on or she finds herself out of position. Leper has to fight to stay at the front and can't always attack every turn, but he hits like a truck and has immense resilience. Grave Robber uses her abilities (like poison and the pickaxe) to bypass the defenses of tough opponents while keeping herself alive with evasion and self-heals. The Runaway moves around a lot while trying to avoid or mitigate damage as much as possible; meanwhile, she sets up her opponents for a slow burn. Plague Doctor wears her opponents down until they expire, keeping her side alive with healing skills. Man-at-Arms uses support skills on his team while not being a great DPS himself; he can also take a beating while he wears opponents down. The Jester has to carefully use the correct support abilities at the right time and place, while making sure he positions himself to do the maximum amount of damage throughout the battle. My only complaint is that the Jester's battles seem poorly designed. You wouldn't be able to clear either of them without a pretty good grounding in music theory, which isn't that common and the game gives no hints as to how to solve the puzzles.

So many fantastic small details I love. A few notes: - Is it just me, or do the abilities we unlock correspond quite nicely to the memory they were unlocked from? - Our favorite Chad, the Leper, is one of the only ones facing the 'flame' of his past with dignity unlike everyone else who's trying to turn their back to it. - Also the Leper so had gloves on his belt when he embraced the sickly be chose not to use them. - I like how the Hellion can never be beaten outright, she always puts up a fight no matter what, it's constant waves of lapping pressure that break her spirit. - The Man at Arms has a few scattered medals when he's bold and naieve, but when remorseful he keeps only his crest and a scrap of paper. Perhaps a memento of the oath he took when he swore command
