These are the kind of songs that can get me through times that can be mentally tough

blissful trench Oct 22, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

the Pyre soundtrack has a super specific mood, but when you're in that mood, it's fantastic

lime mural Oct 22, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

it's like

#

stressed but upbeat

blissful trench Oct 22, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

I was thinking "motivated but wistful" but yeah

#

it's complex

lime mural Oct 22, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

cramped and plucky :P

jaunty bloom Oct 22, 2020, 4:00 AM

#

Though I will not listen to most of Pyre's soundtrack until I actually play the game

timid silo Oct 22, 2020, 7:44 AM

#

You know what to do then! shadesmile do it for the OST!

digital badger Oct 22, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

pyre worth playing? also how much is it usually on sale?

jagged pebble Oct 22, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

pyre is definitely worth it if you love huge worlds and lore
when its on sale its usually $15

digital badger Oct 22, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

oh pog

#

ill look into it

jagged pebble Oct 22, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

i mean i think its $20 right now but i can be wrong

timid silo Oct 22, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

huge worlds... lore... basketball... there's something for everyone

jagged pebble Oct 22, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

digital badger Oct 22, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

#

i like the dog man with the mustache

timid silo Oct 22, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

oh yes. Dogs, mustaches, mustaches on dogs. truly a crowd pleaser

lapis creek Oct 22, 2020, 6:47 PM

give me dogs with mustaches or give me death!

in terms of "bad things you can do in pyre"

shaving rukey >>>>>>> ||manipulating oralech||

#

infinitely more unforgiveable

smoky vale Oct 22, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

just looks wrong

lime mural Oct 22, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

...do i buy a pyre poster for my dorm

#

also i shaved rukey my first time around

jagged pebble Oct 22, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

which poster are you thinking of getting
i personally like the black magic one

lime mural Oct 22, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

tbh i'm just looking around

jagged pebble Oct 22, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

i have the 10th anniversary poster in my dorm and i lvoe it

lime mural Oct 22, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

oooh that's cool but it's a bit metal

#

hm yeah the 10th anniversary one is neat

supple solar Oct 22, 2020, 8:34 PM

speaking of bad things

YOU CAN SHAVE RUKEY????????

fallen ledge Oct 22, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

NOT LIKE THAT

#

JUST HIS MUSTACHE

timid silo Oct 22, 2020, 10:57 PM

I mean, you can if you're a fanartist

mild falcon Oct 22, 2020, 11:00 PM

God... imagine if you tell him to shave and then he comes back bald

like this, a little bit?

blissful trench Oct 23, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

XD

#

how do you tonsor a cur? They're covered in fur XD

lapis creek Oct 23, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

I'm trying to like

#

play pyre now as a "you gotta just play without fearing if you lose kind of situation." like the only rites I want to redo are the scribe trials

#

so like if anyone has any tips for what is essentially an internal struggle not to be a perfectionist with this game, I'd be very interested to hear about it.

#

also i love the subtlety with how Rukey runs because I didn't know until I had gilman in my party how slidey and momentous Rukey's movement is

mild falcon Oct 23, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

maybe convince yourself that the rite ended the way you wanted it to end

#

like, sometimes its good to lose

#

think of pyre as a storytelling tool more than as a video game?

lime mural Oct 23, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

@mild falcon exactly

lapis creek Oct 23, 2020, 4:00 AM

#

mmm, that's a good point.

#

and use the failure as a lesson for the future rites, it is supposed to be a struggle afterall and having a perfect run seems like antithetical to the way some of the other teams are playing.

#

i think I'd still like to try to get everyone liberated, but I'm content with having to do multiple playthroughs to do that successfully.

#

so thanks for the advice<3

ivory robin Oct 23, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

it helps if you think of pyre in sports anime arcs

lime mural Oct 24, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

i need opinions

#

do i get the 10th anniversary poster or the pyre poster

small aspen Oct 24, 2020, 7:37 AM

#

depends on the room

Hey, question

#

So, I've been playong Hades, and thought hey might aswell snag the other super giant games aswell

#

So I grabbed transistor and bastion

#

Is there a switch release date for prye? Or is it not available on said platform for a reason, like technclly difficulties or something

vestal bluff Oct 24, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

Not sure of the reason, but they say they're not currently working on Pyre for Switch

Ah, so it is technically dificuties, understandable

#

Well, here's hoping one day they'll get a break through, or suddenly decide to make a port for switch, but i don't expect them to

#

All in all, thanks supergiant for all you have done

#

Y'all are fine people

Does pyre have any chance of coming to switch does anyone know

midnight hawk Oct 25, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

if you read back a few messages, there's your answer

digital badger Oct 25, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

“Hey, we have no plans to bring Pyre to Nintendo Switch (or frankly any plans right now past this v1.0 launch of Hades, because we gave that everything we've got). We do really appreciate the interest.

It's one of those things where, if it weren't extraordinarily difficult for our team, we probably would have already done it. We're fortune to have our own tech and tools, which are tailored to the individuals on our team and help us make games with a distinct feel. But one of the downsides is that porting that tech to other platforms is not as easy as we'd like. With Hades, we suspected from the start that we'd want to bring the game to Nintendo Switch, and planned for it early and made tons of technical changes to make it possible (and even then it was a Herculean / Heraclean task for our engineering team). Whereas most of Pyre's development occurred before the Nintendo Switch was announced, so we had no way of accounting for its hardware. This isn't meant as a bunch of excuses, as I know it can sound that way, just to provide some context.”

median dove Oct 26, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

Someone should just pin it

midnight hawk Oct 26, 2020, 4:04 AM

#

but would anyone actually read the pin

median dove Oct 26, 2020, 4:36 AM

that is a good point

hollow brook Oct 26, 2020, 8:27 AM

just took a look at the pins, there's a lot of questionable pins in there lol, might contribute to people not reading them :p

So I finally got to my first liberation rite, I tried to free hedwyn, but I lost tizozzz gilmanangst

#

As much as I'm in love with Hades, I'm finding the story of pyre far more intriguing

ivory robin Oct 28, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

pyre's world building is my favorite

azure marsh Oct 28, 2020, 6:01 AM

#

It's very good. I'm two rites into the 2nd cycle, I won against the fates and lost to Udmildhe

#

She's rough

supple solar Oct 28, 2020, 9:22 AM

#

Ah, the space jam

lapis creek Oct 28, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

The difficulty spike after you fight everyone the first time is really just what gets my goat

#

who gave you the RIGHT (...the RITE) to be better AIs?

#

you're SUPPOSED to LOSE to ME

#

I feel frustrated, but it is a good choice overall. It's also more forgiving than games like Dark Souls imo so that's also something to think about and be aware of. You ultimately never get the same story twice too so the replay value is awesome. I hope the other liberation rites are more successful or you at least learn something along the way, curturp!

ivory robin Oct 28, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

3v3 ritesball is definitely a learning curve

lapis creek Oct 28, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

it is...i just wish Sandra had some practice trials that like had accessories and masteries on. When that all got thrown into the loop, I didn't realize how overwhelmed I was going to be trying to manage three different characters from dying at once.

ivory robin Oct 28, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

I thought sandra offered practice trials that were 3v3?

#

it's been something like 2 years since I last played

median dove Oct 28, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

they are 3v3 but i dont think the enemies scale like the npcs do outside of the ||beyonder crystal||

lapis creek Oct 28, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

it's at least not really hinted at if they do. I'll try doing some practice trials again the next time I play, but boy howdy was last night an e x p e r i e n c e

||i know i wanted to not go for a 100% run, but manley will not get back to the commonwealth over my dead body and even then he's got a fight coming||

i have a description somewhere in this channel, one sec

#

"A dystopian, half fantasy VN, half 3v3 sportsball game that explores religion, government, and the true meaning of freedom through a branching character-centric story."

"there's fantasy hell that criminals (such as people who are literate) get thrown into in lieu of being executed, because of "mercy"
but surprise! there's a secret way of getting out, by assembling teams to play basketball and whoever wins the yearly tournament gets sent back up into the society that threw them in there in the first place
combine that with visual novel aspects and a major religious theme and you have Pyre™️"

the rites idea is gonna be so good

i have so many ideas for it

you could work each campaign session around a different rite

Yeah with the start of the session having them read the stars and journey their and the end of the session with the rite

ive been trying to do world building too so ive been making pantheons and stuff

so i can work it into homebrew stuff

Yeah world building is imo the most important part of DMing your hb stuffs

#

I think my campaign world took about a month to make lol

white rover Nov 5, 2020, 5:42 PM

a lot of the pyre stuff im thinking of including could work really well into the lore ive built up as well

elder trellis Nov 5, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

The titans and scribes make really awesome deities too

white rover Nov 5, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

i made lore for why gods cant directly interact with the world. there was a massive god war on the prime plane and eventually a deity born of the material plane (the only time this has occurred) who set up edicts dictating how beings foreign to the prime material plane could interact with it

#

and so the rite locations can be areas of great battles or the carcasses of eldritch horrors

#

remnants from the god wars

#

Hi everyone! I just finished Pyre, and I'm left with couple of questions regarding the narrative, espicially about theorigins of the rites and the 8 scribes. It's possible I missed couple of key dialogues based on the choices I made during my run.

#

First of all, what triggered the end of the rites and the dissapearing of the stars? It was kind hinted that Oralech might be releated to that, but It doesn't state how exactly, and why (as he does want to particpate in the rites to get Acended for the 2nd time).

#

And while It was mentioned the Rites are byproduct of the 8 scribes, It was mentioned the "Celestial Orb" existed before the 8 scribes (Murr was originally seeking it). Also it was mentioned the scribes denied their own freedeom so others can have their own.

#

So It makes me believe the method of Ascending was already there. Instead of using it, the Scribes wanted others to group up, learn, and be better. So they created the Nightwings to be as a gateway, or a final fight before the Ascend.

#

So, what is the origin of the rites, stars, etc.

mild falcon Nov 8, 2020, 11:03 AM

#

A lot of stuff is left ambiguous, as is tradition for sgg games

#

The original way to escape the downside was to kill a titan

#

Or maybe to kill all of them

#

The scribes decided to sacrifice their escape, and their lives, to give power to the rites

#

The reason the rites are ending is intentionally ambiguous

#

But it's a metaphor for regime change

#

The penal system that the scribes put in place had fundamentally failed society

#

So I think its volfred's plan that ends the rites

#

Because we destroy the commonwealth, we also destroy the system that created the commonwealth

#

But that's just my reading

remote kernel Nov 8, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

Intresting. I knew the 8 Scribes ended the Titans, but I didn't know that what trigger the way "out".

#

I was sure the Scribes never gave their lives? They decided not to Ascend, but fought other Trimu as the original Nightwings.

#

At somepoint the Nightwings had new members join, but It wasn't clear if the original 8 Scribe just left the the nightwings. Died from old age? had enough of the rites?

timid silo Nov 8, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

A few things converging, all of them metaphors for regime change, I think! Volfred's plan for sure, but I do think that Oralech's return is poignant: the guy is the living proof that the system has failed. He embodies the injustices that have been piling up in the system of the rites.

#

I like to think the True Nightwings' sigil, raiments and books had to date back to the time of the Scribes, a sort of failsafe for this kind of eventuality, but I don't think it matters in the grand scheme of things, he could've made them himself: the moment someone's so wronged by the Rites (the Wrongs, as the memes often go) that he gets out and founds a counter-triumvirate... the system's hopelessly broken and needs to stop.

#

There's an interesting pattern in all Triumvirates having become a perversion of their respective foundations, with just the Fates hanging by a thread... except for the Nightwings, but that's 'cause they've just started again from scratch.

#

The Scribes were never the first Nightwings! If they took part in the Rites, and I think the implication is that they did, they played for their respective triumvirates! There's something about it in Milithe's descriptions for sure

remote kernel Nov 8, 2020, 12:09 PM

#

I didn't notice that about the True Nightwing sigil, pretty cool!

#

I was checking the "Nightwings" section on Book or Rites:

#

"What is a life without an adversary? If not for forces that conspire against the will, life would be devoid of its innateness, the desire to overcome.
Thus, when we the Eight at last each fashioned a triumvirate based on our own ideals, we realized a void still needed to be filled, as the night sky needs moonlight.
We Eight were united. Our triumvirates shared our affection. They needed us to set them all against a common foe.
Thus did we form the Nightwings, a triumvirate envisioned to exceed them all, both through means mortal and divine, and given undue favor in each turning of the cycle. They are the adversary we all face. "

#

A 2nd look on it does feel a bit vague. It's not clearn if they united to be the actual trimuvirate, or united in mind to create a trimuvirate that is based on the 8 great races.

#

Also, It's intresting that a former Exile, is the one curropting the system (the ArchJustice). Baning reading, exiling too easily etc.

#

And that's also an intresting thing that wasn't elaborate on. So we know the Voice in the "Archjustice". We know the Archjustice is a former nightwings exile. We also know his bound to the rites and the process.

#

Because the system is older, there's must be an "earlier" voice. Perhapa more fair "Archjustice". Though it's not clear how it was elected, because it means the Scribes has to communicated the need for a remote Voice from within the downside.

timid silo Nov 8, 2020, 12:25 PM

#

There's a lot of scattered information about the corruption of the system, yeah. All the highest positions of power in the Commonwealth are given to former exiles, since they're supposed to be the most enlightened. It is... not hard to imagine how this could slide into nepotism fast.

#

Case in point, Manley. He had the connections to know about and get himself recruited into the Chastity as soon as he was cast down.

#

(you see a lot more examples of high offices in the various letters you get from your liberated Nightwings - they all go like "Hedwyn was offered this very important role, said eff you actually and ollied out")

remote kernel Nov 8, 2020, 12:46 PM

#

I bet there's a lot of reference I didn't catch as this has been my first play-through.

#

I consider a second, but I'm not sure about it. Because I'm pretty sure I will be doing the same exact choices 🙂

timid silo Nov 8, 2020, 12:46 PM

#

Hah! No regrets, no-one you'd rather keep together?

remote kernel Nov 8, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

Well, I wish I could have Ascend them all, but I couldn't 🙂 So I ended up leaving Pamitha in the Downside, knowing her sister is there, and she is the reason why she traveled to the Downside to start with. To amend. At least now they can work on Amending it (and they did to some level according to the outro). Bertrude was the 2nd one. I figured she already have a bit of home at Flagging Hands (and a thing she enjoyed doing). She was also into the Plan only because of Volfred.

#

It's funny. They are all just pixels in imaginary world, but that's what makes this game so amazing. You do "care" on some level. That's why I said my second play-throught would probably be the same. Because I did what I deemed to be the most "fair" 🙂

Did you ascend the reader?

remote kernel Nov 8, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

I did however cheated my way a bit. The game was a bit too easy on Normal, so I used Titan stars often. But I always disabled them during the Liberation rites, because I wanted to win. Maybe playing on Hard - will make choices harder, because I will probably lost some libreration rites.

elder trellis Nov 8, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

I feel like the game is a lot more fun on hard

remote kernel Nov 8, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

Oh right, the reader. It was hard one. Thinking himself as "Me" - I would probably Ascended him. Because, who wouldn't do that really. It's a very hard thing to decide willingly to stay on the Downside.

#

So I had to detached "me" from the "Reader", and it become easier, because the Reader knew early on - he won't be able to Acend. Was hoping he made a peace with that.

#

But your right, I would probably Ascend the Reader next time.

#

And perhaps even Orlech.

#

Didn't a 2nd playthrough hurt the experiance?

#

That you know what's happening and it's a bit more "Not what I want to do", but "what I didn't see the previous run happening"?

#

Bastion and Transistor had New Game plus. But nothing like that on Pyre.

#

It's almost like SuperGiant agree it's a one time unique experiance.

“Hey, we have no plans to bring Pyre to Nintendo Switch (or frankly any plans right now past this v1.0 launch of Hades, because we gave that everything we've got). We do really appreciate the interest.
“It's one of those things where, if it weren't extraordinarily difficult for our team, we probably would have already done it. We're fortune to have our own tech and tools, which are tailored to the individuals on our team and help us make games with a distinct feel. But one of the downsides is that porting that tech to other platforms is not as easy as we'd like. With Hades, we suspected from the start that we'd want to bring the game to Nintendo Switch, and planned for it early and made tons of technical changes to make it possible (and even then it was a Herculean / Heraclean task for our engineering team). Whereas most of Pyre's development occurred before the Nintendo Switch was announced, so we had no way of accounting for its hardware. This isn't meant as a bunch of excuses, as I know it can sound that way, just to provide some context.”

What I like about Pyre soundtrack that it's so "varied". Bastion had western feel to it, Transistor - had this electronic vibe to it, and Hades is more Metal/Rocks.

Because each Trim has it own theme, is feels like everything can find a thing to enjoy.

Dude count me in!

#

I was looking on Reddit for something similar, but those were really old posts

#

My main question is combat:
How does it function outside the rites? Are auras a thing within the rites only, or is a multifunctional magic that can be used defensively. Maybe I missed something in the lore or something, but I feel like it was never addressed.

woven edge Nov 13, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

When is this planned for?

blissful trench Nov 13, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

Iirc auras only come up once outside the rites, shortly after *ae shows up and the blackwagon is attacked by Howlers. The party are able to don their raiments and make use of their auras to fend off the howlers, but I think the idea is that a pyre must be lit somewhere nearby for this to work

#

It’d be interesting to see non-rites combats in a similar way, with the party still defending a pyre sort of like a collective health-bar. As long as the pyre is going, they can continue to summon their strength to fight, but if it goes out, they get overwhelmed (and then it’s game over, sorry players)

woven edge Nov 13, 2020, 11:07 PM

I think these connexions are very obvious if you played Pyre beffore Hades, although I never played the previous games of the studio (bastion transistor), did some people feel like there was a lot of "connections" to these previous titles as well ?

Hono suggested limiting those who were permitted to learn magic to those considered worthy in order to prevent future generations following in their footsteps (i.e. ensure future leadership was better than them). Over the years this was twisted into the Rites practiced today where only the nobility or royalty and those permitted by them could practice any higher order magic. These people were known as Readers, and practicing this without permission would result in exile for both the student and the teacher.

god this game is amazing for dnd

Not being about literal literacy makes it lose a lot.

white rover Nov 15, 2020, 9:20 AM

#

yeah i didnt want players to be literally unable to read

#

i figured id balance that fun aspect by making it about magical literacy rather than actual literacy

#

since it's still about removing agency from the people and preventing them from ever standing up to the current ruling system

#

due to the artificial power imbalance imposed upon them

Speaking of dnd, could it be possible to convert the rites into dnd or any other ttrpg?

white rover Nov 15, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

i plan on converting challenges that are based around capture the flag/destroy their base sort of thing

#

thematically similar but mechanically different

#

could be straight up combat or puzzle based

timid silo Nov 15, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

If I were to attempt such a thing, and I won't and also don't know the first thing about TTRPGs, I'd drop the sportsball angle and come up with something more easily playable that also prioritizes the concept of enlightenment

heady forge Nov 15, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

@white rover Hmmm maybe try checking out "Siegeball", it's a sport created on /tg/ for dnd games, it's about destroying the enemy tower with a ball

You could use that as a base or something

#

Personally I don't think DnD or pathfinder type systems would suit all that well for pyre (as much as I'd think it'd be awesome)
Maybe something like World of Darkness could work well for it

#

Pyre in a ttrpg format would be reap cool just for the setting alone

blissful trench Nov 16, 2020, 6:01 AM

#

I’m learning the Unknown Armies system for a game with some friends and UA’s core stats work in a really cool way where there are only two abilities for each core stat whose values are in antagonistic balance. As a PC becomes “hardened” to hardships/traumas related to those core stats, the value of those abilities shifts in balance. (Eg. Becoming “hardened” on the Violence scale makes combat ability better but interpersonal ability worse).

Something like that for the Exiles core stats from Pyre could be interesting. Whether they’re striving to better themselves and earning boons from the Scribes or succumbing to the hopelessness of being cast down and finding darker or more feral aptitudes

#

There’s a bit of precedent for that already in Pyre with the masteries you get as your team improves; one plays to the values of their related scribe while the other plays to the inherent strengths of their species/status

"A dystopian, half fantasy VN, half 3v3 sportsball game that explores religion, government, and the true meaning of freedom through a branching character-centric story."

"there's fantasy hell that criminals (such as people who are literate) get thrown into in lieu of being executed, because of 'mercy'. but surprise! there's a secret way of getting out, by assembling teams to play basketball and whoever wins the yearly tournament gets sent back up into the society that threw them in there in the first place. combine that with visual novel aspects and a major religious theme and you have Pyre™️"

so there is a point in the story... ||where you can start a rite without an opposing team||. I feel like I unintentionally cheated, because ||I got 2 achievements - for prevailing in a rite with 6+ titan stars and for prevailing in a rite in 3 or less dousings||...

this is awkward

never had that happen to me... gilmanangst

lone dragon Nov 24, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

So, I completed the game and loved it. Typically I don't like reading, but with this game I was invested. I like how every character has their own story and the depth in how your choices affect the story and how there is no way to lose.

#

One thing that wasn't clear to me was the saluting mechanic (Y on gamepad). After leveling up, some exiles can learn saluting (such as Gilman and Berthrude), but I never got it to work, I never even had the prompt or any instruction on how to do it.

junior wave Nov 24, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

saluting only triggers some special abilities, otherwise its just a flex

#

like in the enlightenment tree, itll say "this character can salute to do x"

lone dragon Nov 24, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

But when can you even salute?

Basically any time

You have to be standing still though

lone dragon Nov 24, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

Weird. Either something broke or I thought I unlocked it, but actually unlocked a different talent.

#

Does the game ever explain the salute at all? There's usually a tutorial for every ability introduced, not sure if I somehow skipped the salute.

#

You have to be standing still though
or maybe that's the case, perhaps I wasn't standing still for long enough

timid silo Nov 24, 2020, 6:37 PM

Same for Celeste, indeed

#

We basically don't, which is made funnier by the fact that early on Tariq is like "Reader did you go through the book already? Then you may know something about me... oh you haven't? I spoke too soon" and then you painstakingly unlock the whole book and there's zero, zilch, nada

#

We do know that Soliam got the idea of the Rites through a "moonlit vision", which (looks at Tariq. Looks at the moon. Looks at Tariq again)

#

and then at one (1) point the narration makes an offhanded comparison between him and... the book? or Yslach directly? I can't remember. If it's a comparison with the book, the book is bound in Yslach's skin so there's that

For me it's Ashen Coal (the one that gives your pyre +30 health at the start), Righteous Flame (the one that heals your pyre for 10 health when dousing the opposing pyre, I especially like putting that one on fast characters such as Gilman and Rukey) and Typhoon Bottle (when your triumvirate is banished, adversaries are slower and can't use abilities)

Yea, I was just thinking about Tizo's case too. I mean, his native to the Downside. Yet a lot of people liberate him.

#

It kinda makes sense to me Bertrude is further on the list. She is harsh, cold and it's hard to feel a connection to. Jodi is also harsh and cold, but they did good job in making it clear she is very good person behind that facade.

#

I think the only character development she had is the love interest with Volfred, and it's pretty far in the game, when your done with most of you liberation rites.

obtuse gyro Nov 30, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

What ? Bertrude is the best ! she's that tough-as-nails grandma that has a spongy gooey little heart tucked inside that cardigan ~~that doesn't belong to her yet she always refused to give it back~~. When push came to shove I decided not to liberate her because Volfred wasn't very vocal about going up and I felt she wanted to stay with him so I couldn't bear the thought of separating them... Had I known sooner I may have liberated both of them but alas, I also had a set of rules about who to liberate I couldn't afford to deviate from.

Yes please I don't have the energy for repping the Bertrude Appreciation Squad on this fine night, what Kerenn said 🐍

Idea: create a book with 1000+ sahrian words, with gramatical explanations and sell them for 900 to 1000 usd because pyre is an amazing game and create a new language is not easy as such effort ( of making a book to learn sahrian) deserves a high price. Love the language and I would love to learn it

spiral zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

Is it an actual language or was it just made up to look cool?

blissful trench Dec 1, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

it is a partial conlang or "constructed language", the spoken phrases and vocabulary/grammar of Sahrian do have rules and make sense. THey don't always match 100% with the actual dialogue in text however

spiral zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

The language is like when they shout Noxalas and such right?

blissful trench Dec 1, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

I think it came up in one fo the older Asks but the spoken dialogue is more of a vobe/emphasis sort of thing? COmpare to the spoke bits in a game like, say, Danganronpa; what's said aloud doesn't always align exactly with what's written, but it's meant to carry the same tone/mood

#

yeah

spiral zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

I thought they were just mumbling. Didnt know it was a language

blissful trench Dec 1, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

"Noxalas" is a great example bc you can see some of the Latin elements in Sahrian, it translates to "Nightwings" pretty literally in Latin XD

spiral zealot Dec 1, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

Nice

blissful trench Dec 1, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

if you listen closely you can pick out terms of address, names, and phrases in the spoken dialogue. eg. Most character address you with some variant of "Ligaratus" ("Reader") or "Libramis" (Reader, but more "friendly"/affectionate)

#

each Triumvirate has their own spoken-Sahrian name as well

I see

#

So how to rite-nights work with there are no voice-channels to watch streams in?

timid silo Dec 1, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

There's a main single player campaign that's a complete thing with branching choices. And then there's a separate local 1vs1 mode, which can be remote'd via Steam remode play or parsec.

#

Multiplayer spoils the characters and arenas of the campaign so I'd wait before giving it a spin if you're into the narrative aspect of the games.

theres a separate server for the rite nights and LidsVids does the streaming and commentating for us :)

remote kernel If you would like to hear more of it, Greg did some explanation on the Steam for...

"Still, I reused certain terms deliberately in many spots to reinforce the idea that it's a real language, e.g. you hear 'Ligaratus' frequently when characters are referring to the Reader. I built up a dictionary of hundreds of terms during the course of the writing."
Now I want that dictionary.

#

I would literally pay to get a dictionary of a fictional language for a cult-classic material of a game.

#

"Often, the original content and subtext of a given phrase had no bearing on the context in which it ended up being used! For example, one of Rukey's first lines in the game is 'Tah ramitakusteh' whose original translation/context was 'Ah don't take it so hard' -- but in the game it's used with 'Someday! I said we'd find someone alive someday.' -- this is an example of how I ultimately wouldn't really care what the original content of a line was, as long as it felt right for the in-game line, and this line felt right in this moment."

Heh, if Greg from 2017 were were reading this now, I'd say "Hey, don't sweat it, some late Fire Emblem games did something like this (before they committed to full voice-acting)," just like Hades!

...Not usually too invested in behind-the-scenes stuff, unless it was funny, but somehow I'm gonna get captivated by all the little details, huh?

midnight hawk Dec 3, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

i sent him up first playthru bc i thought he'd be most valuable to the plan

timid silo Dec 3, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

I like your order but it screws up Pamitha's wing, Ti'zo and Oralech, Ti'zo and Volfred, the Reader and Volfred, and Jodariel and Ignarius and ae and Almer for that matter. I may be forgetting someone. Which are perfectly valid choices to make! But other people with different priorities would make different choices.

#

I also misread something earlier in the game

#

I thought if the plan worked they could drop down a rope ladder or something because I thought it was Commonwealth stopping escape not that it was physically imposable

timid silo Dec 3, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

(is the Bertrude&Gilman Spiderman meme in the epilogues or just the post-ascension buddy convo, I forget. If it's in the epilogues, that's also Very Important and a personal priority 😂 )

woeful phoenix Dec 3, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

What?🤔

#

I enjoyed the story a lot but I think they should have added another character later on to make you reconsider who you have in mind

timid silo Dec 3, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

Lemme drop the meme in #fan-works ! Anyway the point is that Gilman and Bertrude are among the characters who share a bond and keep that connection if they end up on the same side!

woeful phoenix Dec 3, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

Bertrude is fine but she is pretty indifferent about freedom

timid silo Dec 3, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

Yeah she straight-up insults you if you nominate her. She actively wants to stay down, following the path of Molten Milithe

woeful phoenix Dec 3, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

My order would change if I had lost a bunch

#

If sending the original 3 back was no longer possible I would focus on the Vagabond and Tizo

#

But I think the game kind of works in reverse

#

The worse you do the worse the plan will be and so freeing people is less of a reward

#

So maybe it makes sense to throw the rite if the plan looks hopeless🤔

timid silo Dec 3, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

I'll always try to minimize the bloodshed, but looking at the options from another perspective, I think the game makes a very good point of balancing different kinds of freedom. Sure, liberated exiles are back topside, but they're pretty much locked into political roles. Depending on one's aspirations, it may be better to stick to the personal freedom afforded by the Downside.

#

I think the start of Pyre is very strong before you can fly

#

Perhaps because I had sent away my favourite characters I was waiting for the end

magic narwhal Dec 3, 2020, 10:04 PM

The story telling is amazing and the gameplay is fun

spark moon Dec 5, 2020, 7:06 PM

It's a talisman that take 10 health off your opponent's pyre

ocean plaza Dec 5, 2020, 7:06 PM

cpu likes it 👀

spiral zealot Dec 5, 2020, 7:07 PM

Well cpu just gets a randon talisman. It has no stratgey with them

ocean plaza Dec 5, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

i watched more cpu/cpu with that talisman than without :o

#

intriguing

spiral zealot Dec 5, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

i think its random at the least

ocean plaza Dec 5, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

fun rng that randomly gets frozen soul

spiral zealot Dec 5, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

Its definitly random, but because of how computers work, they are never truly random (unless you go through a lot of toruble see Random.org) so frozen soul is probably in the area that is chossen randomly more often

ocean plaza Dec 5, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

probably, would definitively make a lot of sense

#

are the talismans in campag for the enemies team randomized too?

#

or set beforehand? i dont remember

spiral zealot Dec 5, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

i dont know

#

i think its set before hand

spark moon Dec 5, 2020, 7:18 PM

I think they're set

ocean plaza Dec 5, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

unfortunately not. I have a playlist that's all the versions of never to return, including the nightwings version, and I basically only listened to that for a solid month and a half after I played Pyre this year

fickle plaza Dec 5, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

i finished pyre

#

i made the wrong choices though

timid silo Dec 5, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

Which ones? 👀

fickle plaza Dec 5, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

can I spoil?

timid silo Dec 5, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

It says spoilers are OK in the channel description!

fickle plaza Dec 5, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

I freaking chose ORALECH to be liberated

#

But if I chose Sir Gilman

#

His quest would be fulfilled

#

He would be away from Deluge

#

He would have made the revolution peaceful

#

He would be with his best buds

#

Instead, he has to mope around in the Downside without Rukey or anyone. He only has BERTRUDE.

#

Because I chose Oralech, the revolution was violent

#

And plus, he did heck-all besides saving a few people and promptly fading into obscurity

#

Additionally, I found out that if I did not liberate him, he would have become pals with Ti'zo and Sandalwood because it was a close fight.

#

So basically, it was the worst choice I could have made.

timid silo Dec 5, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

Ah... I sent up Oralech too without paying attention to the voice in my head that was saying VOLFRED'S DOWN YOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOON, but at least still got a peaceful revolution... so I immediately started another campaign to make it right 😅

#

Bertrude&Gilman Downside is ideal for me though... does Deluge bother him? Dear, I forgot. I do love Bertrude so that helps.

fickle plaza Dec 5, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

Deluge apologizes but he it is still a conflict

#

Gilman does warm up to Bertrude, though.

timid silo Dec 5, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

(a while ago I started a third campaign trying to get an endgame I like despite a few key differences from my first choices... I THINK it's Volfred-Bertrude-ae-Oralech or Volfred-Bertrude-Ti'zo-Oralech down)

#

I kind of want to picture a timeskipped Gilman who's been Bertrude's pupil for a while 😂

fickle plaza Dec 5, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

He would be a beast

#

Just overdose on Bertude's potions and talismans

#

The first person I sent up was -ae

#

she is the greatest

#

but the GOAT is Ti'zo

#

I didn't send him up cause he belongs down here.

timid silo Dec 5, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

She is the greatest! And generally speaking I like to send up humans to minimize demonification since that sucks for them. But I'm not super fond of her topside ending, while I love her downside ending, so that's a tough choice. Alternatively, I kick up Bertrude and keep both Ti'zo and ae down. idk. She'll hate me but that'd keep her with Pamitha, too - and Gilman as well!

fickle plaza Dec 5, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

I didn't even think about it, to be honest. Demonhood is something I should have considered

#

Bertrude has lived in the downside for 22 years and is quite well developed here

#

She has no real calling for the surface, so I just kept her down here.

#

I like Ae's topside ending, she has a nice life

#

Though it is better if she spends her time with that Fate guy.

spiral zealot Dec 5, 2020, 9:19 PM
