sorry that people are sick of your majestic mcus

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

No it's not. You can play Saber from Zero and spare yourself headache of multiple routes. VN is a good source but let's not gatekeep by insisting it's the only source.

It's not the only source. But it's an important source and you shouldn't skip it. Zero alone doesn't cover her whole backstory, and in Saber's case, it's pretty damn critical. I'd argue the same is true for Rin. So yes, in my opinion, you should read the VN if you're picking her up.

But I'm also not dying on this hill and getting into a 9000 comment argument, so that's the last I'll say on that. Agree to disagree.

Would rec garden of avalon if they don't want to go through fate route since it's saber's backstory: the cd. Not as complete as the GoA novel, but it'd help.

the issue with playing saber from zero only is that saber had to deal with kiritsugu and she ends up only suffering and showing a few aspects of her personality

you sometimes see the Fate route Saber in zero when Saber’s with Iri, but Iri’s prioritization of Kiritsugu throws that under the bus

it does sound gatekeepy but i think suggesting to someone, if they end up having interest in a character, other material that’s important to the character is fair advice
