    Reminds me, one of the things I love about her character is that she's a hero to some and a villain to others, and yet seems to like the "villain" label better.

    Because being evil is more fun.

    That would be greatly appreciated.

    Also, I blame Fate/EXTRA for me wanting to see Drake and Artoria have amusing interactions as vitriolic best buds.

    Dunno if she'd get along with Artoria.

    Nero on the other hand, they'd be BFFs because they both love to SPEND FUCKING EVERYTHING. (Didn't Saber actually say she liked Rider in that "Blossom-sensei" thing?)

    The interactions with Artoria would doubtlessly be amusing, if only because of the humongous differences in their personalities.

    Although since they both did what they did for the sake of England, EXTRA seems to imply that there would be some kinship there.

    Hoo boy, the tag team of Nero and Drake...they'd buy out every shopping mall that stood in their way!

    Okay, doing it. Using one of the images from your first post as the icon.

    Also, I once heard my college tutor refer to Drake as "her majesty's pirate".

    I'm not sure Drake and Nero could stay "just friends" though. Friends with benefits perhaps...

    Indeed. Drake and Nero sailing the high seas together, but none of the crew are allowed in the captain's cabin of a night.

    Also club is done. http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/group.php?groupid=76

    So I guess it just needs to be added to th OP.

    BTW, might be too late, but I'm not sure if having the identities for Extra Servants in the titles of threads/groups is a great idea...

    I think most of the people on this board already know. Given the amount of times I've seen the names casually thrown around. Besides we already have the Nero and Robin Hood FCs.

    True, but still, the game just came out in English.

    I complained about it on the Saber Extra FC too but nobody cared >_>

    I'm still traumatized by several years ago on (old) BL when a thread title spoiled (FSN) Archer's identity for me before UBW was even translated. ;_;

    That's alright, I had Archer's identity spoiled for me about a week after I'd first heard of Fate.

    I still fail to see why people dislike being spoiled.

    My favorite part of FSN was figuring out who the Servants were. Other people differ in what they dislike being spoiled, but I myself love that mystery.

    My eyes bulged when I found out who Archer was.

    Good times.

    Seriously?

    People like to be surprised by plot twists and such, and come up with their own predictions for what will happen. Spoilers remove the surprise.

    This talk about Archer has me imagining a scene with Drake trying to get him to lighten up.

    I fail to see why you can't grasp it's just personal preference.

    My reasons vary from work to work. For some works, like Fate/Extra, I don't care enough to bother playing since I spoiled most of the plot already, for others I might prefer the surprise of plot revelations, or not care at all, etc.

    Eh, whatever floats your boats. Personally I prefer reading through all the plot details beforehand. It doesn't get in the way of gameplay, and I won't go 'oh shit why did I get this game' if the plot twists suck.

    But y'all go ahead and keep yourselves in the dark if it makes you happy.

    Personally, if I already know the entirety of the plot I don't feel a need to play the game aside from the gameplay. This is the case with Fate/Extra since it's pretty much just rock, paper, scissors; the gameplay is garbage, and I already know most of the plot, I don't feel I should waste my time playing it. I usually look at the reception for a game before getting, obviously if the review is crap I'm not going to go near it.

    But yeah, to each their own.
