We’ve wrapped up the prologue of the Quest, as well as the first act in Solis. Now seems like a good time to do the same with this thread. It’s good to be back! I couldn’t shake the itch to run another quest again, and I’d had this idea brewing for a while as Three Houses Quest drew closer to its conclusion. I thought it would be interesting to do the exact opposite of that quest, and have the MC of Sorcerer Kingdom be a blatantly overpowered genetic freak right from the start. Tristain is the opposite of Blair in many ways, as I’m sure those of you who are familiar with the old quest have undoubtedly discovered.
What else is different this time around? Combat is much more simplified (at least I think so), with certain stats and modifiers having disappeared. This was done so that more people could feel as though they could take part in the decision making for fights. That doesn’t mean things will be easy. Even with Tristain’s abilities, there will be encounters that even he may not be able to win. Consider this first thread a bit of a primer though on how combat generally works. I plan to include a guide in the OP of subsequent threads going forward. One thing to note though is if you have an idea for something that Tristain could feasibly do in a fight, and it isn’t listed as an option, feel free to suggest it. I generally keep an open mind.
A good example of this was
>>6106546This anon made mention to pick up the Hammer, which was never an option presented, but made perfect sense. As a result, you beat Gideon, and you have a new weapon in your inventory.
Given that we’re now completely in OC territory, with very little source material for me to borrow from, I’ll need a bit of time for planning in-between threads. My hope is to have Thread #2 up by the time this one falls off, likely in about 1-2 weeks or so.
One final thing to note, and this one is a bit embarrassing for me to admit. I realized, rather abundantly late, that I misspelled Tristain’s name lol. It was “Tristan” in THQ. For some reason, I’ve written it down as “Tristain” this entire time. I don’t know why I did that. Maybe I’m out of practice after taking a few months off of writing after the last quest ended. Who knows. I suppose I’ll just leave it as Tristain for now, but thought I’d point it out nonetheless.
I’ll be checking the thread periodically in case anyone has any questions about anything. /suptg/ is down right now, but I’ll archive this thread as soon as it comes back up.
I’m curious, let me know if you’re playing for the first time, or if you played/read the old quest! As I mentioned, I want to make it so that you don’t need to have played THQ or even understand Fire Emblem to be able to follow Tristain’s saga along.
