makes posts you should read while listening to the Jurassic Park theme

I was inspired to finally play some Enemy Within thanks to your LP. I was naming most of the soldiers after forum goers, but things haven't been going quite as well for me as they have you. Myself, you and Lockhearted all died in Newfoundland.

Shame too because you were a Chrysalid killing machine.

Yes. I've noticed XD And yeah, I get why the system works the way it works. I just think some pairings could make sense here But what can you do

Right now I'm struggling with getting Inigo. I need to level up all those kids once I gather them up And how are you doing?

It was just a perfect match in my eyes I just love this aspect of the game, how basically any ship you want is valid, so shipping wars basically become a moot point But OMG, if you pair up Lon'qu with Lissa, the fact that Owain's a Myrmidon (and actually quite similar to him in looks) jest gets more awesome XD

I kinda wish this game allowed slash pairings. So far I have more dudes than girls, so I can't pair up everybody I would so pair up Stahl and Kellam if I could, but I'm pretty satisfied with how I paired them off anyway (with Cordelia and Miriel respectively).

OMG! I just got Owain and he's AMAZING! Exactly what I imagined Lissa and Lon'qu's kid to be XD

I got the champion pack! And I got Marth. He's level 8 where all of my other characters have already changed into their advanced classes

If Panne, Nowi and Olivia work best as their special classes, what do you think I should do with them after they max those out?

So Chrom and Sumia are already married XD Now, I don't know if I care about min-maxing enough to really just plan it out like that, though. For my first playthrough, at least, I'll just pair them up how I feel. I can't wait to get Lissa and Lon'qu together I will hold out with marrying my avatar, though

So wait, Chrom is married to Sumia, but I can still see S-ranks available with others for them. Can they still achieve that, or did that just stay from before? I'd be surprised if this game didn't have a gay option but did a poly amorous one

Haha Thanks a bunch. And I'm sorry - I get these moments where I just ask question upon question and get lost in that.

So what are some of the characters that are exclusively romantic with the avatar? Besides Chrom and Sumia I've also been pushing Frederick and Sully and Lissa and Lon'qu heavily. Can I go with it, or should I wait a little? I have this suspicion of what they do. They make babies, right? You can tell me, I think I can take it

Any tips on raising the relationship level between characters? I can't remember what my exact relationships are, but I know that Chrom and Sumia are at rank A. I've noticed only opposite sexes get to rank S - so that's romantic relations? If you pick a character to achieve an S rank with, does that disable you from reaching that rank with others? And can I ship anyone with anyone, as long as they're the opposite sex? And no gay options? And what does this all have to do with anything? Is it just that they get better bonuses when they're paired up, or is there something more to it? And any other way to make characters grow closer than pairing them up? And I don't really understand how barracks work and what determines whether any new conversations will appear there.

Not meaning to argue with you in thread about the alcohol sales and we're getting off topic anyways, plus I have to go to work now, so might be better continued through PM as to avoid derailing the thread further :P
