Note: According to Nowi, Tharja has the boingiest bits (which include her "hips and... other parts") in the entire camp.

See my simple answer to this is that on my third file MU is married to Anna.

I plan on doing the final DLC which is why I am grinding to the ends of the earth. I need Lethality because he pulls an activation skill almost every turn. I wish there was a defense + 10 skill to replace his resistance + 10 skill, because magic attacks do absoloutly nothing to him. Lifetaker has never been worthwhile for me.

Lol that's true.

The difference is that (depending on the character) crits are a lot less common than adjacent allies attacking enemies, especially if the relation is A or S.

I think that some people here may be underestimating how difficult Awakening can be to the uninitiated.

I'm remember rage quitting a lot when I played Radiant Dawn for the first time (that was my first FF game). So yeah the first game will always be really hard.

So far in Awakening I only had one game over and one force restart (Lucina died on me). I'm playing on normal (which I should have started on hard in all honesty) though since I played FF before is actually quite easy (I have beating Radiant Dawn on hard twice and imo that is one of the hardest in the series).

Btw, without given any major spoilers, what happens if Lucina dies? She died on a Paralogue mission but I restart the game, but later she was during a cutscene on the main story (Chapter 14). It's kinda weird the game let her die without a game over screen... 

^I don't think they actually die, they just don't fight anymore, the wimps. :P
It'd be awesome though if they did actually die as it'd be interesting to see the effect it has on the story.

It didn't look like she was leaving the battlefield, she actually died (and her dead quote sounded as such). Could be wrong though, since I was expecting a game over screen and it didn't came out, the mission continued as normal.

Edit: nvm she retreats from the battle. Her "dead" sentence sounded like she was dead, but she just says that she can't fight anymore and "Father forgive me". That's probably why I thought she was dead.

Only Chrom and Avatar get game over.

I'm guessing Lucina doesn't actually die and becomes a character who you can never use again, but still is in cutscene parts.

But most everyone else would be dead for good and won't hear about them till end credits when it says they died.

Just edited that post. For the way she sounded I thought she died, but she only retreats and can't be used again, just like some important characters in previous FF games.
