I know it doesn’t add much, but I wanted to say this game helped me change for the better as a person, and I look forward to future installments!

Can’t hope for a better review than that! Thanks for the encouragement, and I hope you enjoy the sequel…

Can Mules cross the wards? Could Mr pumpkins cross with Mara?

Mules that haven’t been Changed by Theurgy can cross a Ward. So unless Mr Pumpkins is an Abmule, he can cross with Mara.

(In your headcanon, that is. I’m sorry I won’t be offering an option to have a mule as your traveling companion in the Xaos-lands.)

I know that lol, It was just a curiosity question. In my headcannon Mr pumpkins is the real leader in the Shayard. I order him to spy for secret Breden spies.

Just repread XoR 1… again. This IF is an ass for still hiding previously undiscovered content and still finding new heartstrings to pluck, especially ones long unused and terribly out of tune. I’m not sure if it’s OK to ask but does anyone know of anything else that might be of at least comparable quality?

I’m not sure if these are accurately comparable, but I enjoyed them as much as XOR

If you want another rebellion story you can try Empyrean. It’s more light-hearted and the world building is really good.
If you want something more story-driven with a lot of character interaction, Heroes of Myth is really good.
Choice of Deathless is short but the writing is artful, you’ll enjoy how the author uses the english language.
Choice of Robots is a classic and it can tug on your heartstrings.

I hope this helps!

Sabres of Infinity and it’s sequel Guns of Infinity are what come to mind. Heroes of Myth is another gem but a significantly shorter one(being a standalone and not an epic saga of four-five books).

I don’t want to play moderator or anything, but let’s please try to keep things on topic. There are plenty other threads where you can ask for games that are similar to this one :3 This thread is a general discussion about Rebels: Uprising, so let’s try and keep it that way so the mods won’t have unnecessary work to clean up :3

Agreed. In hindsight I shouldn’t have asked that here.

Let me partly redeem myself by discussing on-topic. How awesome are Wiends? They are pretty awesome, aren’t they? Beautifully do they showcase certain character traits that hasn’t been believably portrayed since certain author was around… Well, not in cultural context anyhow.

Alas I don’t think we’ll be fortunate enough to get some more of them in the next, Xaoslandly installment.

@Cyphr - I added the staff color, so that the gentle reminder you gave will stand out.

Congrats on your promotion to Leader as well.

Alas! But I have plenty of them planned for Game 3.

@Havenstone was it your intent to not lower Elery’s relation stat for an mc who chose zvad as deputy and doesn’t go on any raids? The “e_rel” lowering due to snubbing breden only happens at “eleryintro”, which is only triggered when choosing to go on a raid.

(I know it’s not really relevant to anything now, but digging through the code is giving me something to do while social-distancing :crazy_face: :dizzy_face:)

Does someone knows how to get the magic sword with a character with 2 int and 1 com?

Wait, Magic Sword…

What, where, and How!

The Tagmatarch (leader of the enemy army in the last final) has a theurge-forged sword that is supernaturally sharp.

To get it with an INT2 character, you must be in a romance with Breden, who will reveal a kryptast code in the final chapter if you are still in a romance. You must then be captured in the final chapter by the enemy army, and choose “I wish to make an accounting!”. You will then be escorted to the Tagmatarch, who you must kill with theurgy. Do not tell her your real name if you have used theurgy before, or she will kill you instantly. Do not attempt to free your rebels if you do not have Simonz.

So it’s impossible for me, to romance Breden is a fate worse than death. But thanks for the help.

Yep, Braden is a dirty traitor who I keep around in case I need to acquire Kryptast secrets via less than friendly means.

This is an absolutely amazing game! In particular, the setting is wonderfully well constructed.
