I married Lissa, primarily because I had accidentally raised my support level with Tharja to A and I really really wanted to get away from her. I didn't know that this would cause Morgan to start out as a healer. Completely unable to defend herself. Surrounded by enemies. On the opposite side of a cliff.

I didn't realize this at first, and she died on the first turn. Okay, what the fuck, I told myself. After 5 minutes of staring at the preparation screen I attempted to pull a trick where I would use Cordelia and Sumia to carry Lon'qu and Chrom to the other side of the cliff and protect her, but I couldn't move people in such a way that they could get all the way across the gap and position themselves just right to be able to wall the enemies away from her. I kept trying and trying in the hopes that the enemies would attack one of my units instead of charging straight into her, but it didn't work. On the hundredth try, Morgan was finally able to dodge one of the attacks and then activate Miracle on the second attack in order to not die.

She still died 99 times before she was able to live, so it goes here.

Fire Emblem Awakening.

FAKE EDIT: Also, I'm going to buy FE Fates: Conquest. I've heard it's wicked hard, so I decided to rise to the challenge, but I'm still going to preemptively mention it here.

That is an impressive level of "why did the devs allow that to happen?"

The guy on the left is Garon, the king of Nohr, the country that you side with in Conquest and your adoptive father. The gal on the right is Mikoto, the queen of Hoshido, the country that you side with in Birthright and your biological mother. Hoshido is glorious nippon that fights for peace and a brighter future with gorillion fold lightning katanas and magic laser bows, while Nohr is morally grey comically evil medieval Europe who fights for glory and loot with superpowered tree magic and boobs.

Choose to save Ashley even though I much preferred Kaidan.  Because the salarian team was with Ashley so I chose to save the greater number of people.

Then later we had sex once because I guess I said a few nice things to her once or twice?  I dunno, not exactly a strong basis for a romance.

I romanced Kaidan on accident. And it nearly happened again, now that I'm playing the second game. It's too bad that, so far, all the options for femshep have been... not my favorites, to say the least.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Garrus is the only remotely appealing one, thus far. Jacob is possibly even more boring than Kaidan, and Thane, while my baby and I cherish him forever, isn't exactly the most emotionally healthy person around.

I'm assuming Samara is a potential love interest for both manshep and femshep, but by God. That woman is a psychopath. My Shep is a bit on the violent side too, but Sam would probably snap a puppy's neck for looking at her the wrong way.

You clearly haven't met Morinth yet. Samara looks like a saint compared to her.

[Insanegame27]

As a pacifist I ended up being the cause of many many deaths on the station as a result of a mental breakdown. Never underestimate a pacifist resomi with a bootknife, ended up killing a total of 5 people with the weakest 'weapon' in the game (it's so weak that there are no restriction in the custom loadout, you can take this thing as a /doctor/.) Medical intern mentally broke down after being attacked by a tajaran (cat) (for context my resomi's entire pack was brutally murdered, hence his pacifism), eventually becoming hell-bent on revenge and enslaving the cat's soul into something forced to kill for him.

Then the AI was a dick and vented the station.

Morinth was bad, yes. But Samara's still a psychotic vigilante that runs around the universe, shooting up anybody that happens to be in her way for the sake of a personal vendetta, and hiding it behind her duties as a justicar. Shepherd and co. kill hundreds of people each game, but it's usually not for personal gain, or it's at least coincidentally helpful to the forces of good. Samara's using her shame and failure as a mother to go on a galaxy-wide killing spree.

She would have killed that one random cop, just for doing her job in making sure Sam... doesn't kill people. Samara's been a justicar for 400+ years. How many times has she had to kill her way out of police stations?

[ThtblovesDF]

Thats a watery defention of pacifist.

Did bay12 get more sheanigans friendly since i last played (like a year ago?).

For ss13 I still only wish for a server with 1 big rule: if you directly kill anyone as non antag, you get temp-banned for 5-minutes. Jail, space-locker-weld, kidnapping or elaborate death trap all still work, but laser in the face-kill gets punished. Allows for shenanigans, but stops the uncreative griefers.

It was a slow and painful grind that started with a botched invasion of a small island that had some gold on it. I fgured, they're small, shouldn't be much of an issue, and then I ran into a 1200 strong army with my measly 800 one, the fight was rather nasty as they had the terrain advantage too and my daimyo died then and there. It was a setback I thought, but as I'm rebuilding my troops and waiting for a fucking general to a appear, a clan twice my size decides they don't like my face existing. So now I have a 1500+ stack of doom with two generals and a daimyo in it (so good luck with sabotage and bribery I guess). Shortly afterwards another big clan declares war, but they're kinda far away, so they resort to murdering all my trade ships with their giant samurai fleet.
At this point I had rebuilt most of my army with some better troops, and had lost one of my provinces, so I figure, the island is a safe bet, if I take that they probably won't go for it on account of my strong navy guarding it. Wanna know what the island folk were doing while I was gone for a couple of years? Breeding soldiers, and arrows, lots and lots and lots of both. Like, 2000 men army against my invasion force of slightly under a 1000. So I say fuck it, this is over and delete the save.

[pikachu17]

I hadn't played for a while, so I was a bit rusty so I didn't make enough gateways, then I failed to make enough forward bases, then the zerg thought this was a good time to attack, so I was fighting about 62 zerglings(rough estimation)  with about 19 zealots(exact number), not all of which were at the same base at the time, so the zerg broke through my defenses and razed the nexus

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

To answer the last question: not many, in all likelihood. I believe it's mentioned that Samara mostly stays in Asari space, where Justicars get a lot more leeway in their actions much like Spectres do in Council space. Ilium might be an Asari world but it is heavily populated with non-Asari, and has very non-Asari laws in order to make it an attractive trading, tourism, and "indentured servitude" hub. Corporations run that world and those corporations do not want a Justicar running around if they can avoid it. On, say, the Asari homeworld, Samara would have gone free with maybe a few questions asked.

I'm not saying that Samara never killed people who didn't deserve it, because the Justicar Code is extremely binary and leaves little room for subtlety or creativity, but in the game we only see her killing criminals and whoever Shepard goes up against. A strongly Renegade Shepard might even be told by her that once the mission is over, she and Shepard will become enemies.

[Jopax]

Freaking wannabe flexile and two manscorpion things keep killing me constantly. It's an issue when you gotta choose between a small confined space where dodging is hard or a large open space filled with water where dodging is really hard. These three fuckers are proving to be a bigger problem than the lost sinner herself. The one time I managed to actually get to her I got her to about three hits from dead.

DS2, extra bullshit spawned by bonfire ascetic

[Akura]

I guess this counts. Happened yesterday.

Have one mural piece left before unlocking Primal Groudon. Since the majority of mural pieces for Primal Groudon's mural are apparently in the first half of the game areas, the only puzzle early on that has a mural piece left is Jirachi.

To unlock the piece, I needed to use a specific ability during that puzzle. The only Pokemon I have with that ability that can use it on a puzzle that size is, ironically, Groudon. I use the ability, and start clearing the puzzle.

...Then something goes horribly wrong, throws off the whole puzzle and the battery on my 3DS is nearly depleted because I forgot to plug it in the night before. All that effort wasted.

Worse, Groudon has a 30 hour cooldown. And worse still, the cooldown timer didn't start for some reason until this morning.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Pokemon Picross. That's 30 hours in real time. And you can't use the game currency to reset a Legendary/Mythic Pokemon's cooldown like you can with a normal Pokemon - this is pretty much the only thing you can't use game currency on to speed along.

I still don't know for sure if that's really the last mural piece for Primal Groudon, or if it's for Primal Kyogre(which has plenty to go).

I don't like the Husks, they cheat. Fast melee enemies are not fun to fight when your character has controls for a relatively slow-paced cover shooter.
