Not so night after all
Image: Intelligent Systems/Nintendo via PolygonFire Emblem: Fortune's Weave's "Monster in the Night" quest seems like it should be straightforward. A monster's been ransacking market stalls at night, and you need to stop it. Good luck finding the monster if you're using the quest description, though. It's pretty misleading, and you might find yourself wasting precious time if you keep trying to clear the quest using its own logic.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a gigantic, overwhelming game, and even with all its tutorials, it's impossible to learn everything there is to know without some trial and error. Things like the build stat — new to Fire Emblem, if you skipped Engage — and the importance of paralogues, or how to fast travel on the world map are left for you to figure out on yourown.

I, too, poured myself some whiskey the other night while fighting Omega Red, the startlingly challenging first boss in Marvel's Wolverine. It seems I'm far from alone here: As players start diving into the game, many seem surprised at just how much of a skill check Omega Red poses.
