    Naming this Annihilation is quite fitting, because after this point in the battletech universe, Clan Smoke Jaguar goes into a downward spiral that eventually leads to their complete destruction. There really is no way to continue a Smoke Jaguar campaign because after this point they are essentially facing continuous losses for the remainder of their existence.

      That wasn't the only screwup in the cutscenes. In one of the earlier cutscenes, when the Clans and the Bloodname Holders return to the Inner Sphere, it was said that the Jaguars were informed by ilKhan Leo Showers that they were back and leaving Santander for the next step of the invasion. But that was completely false, because at this point in the story, ilKhan Leo Showers was already dead. He was killed in a suicide attack by a space fighter (this was shown in an earlier cutscene) and that was the reason why the blood name bearers had to return to their homeworld to elect a new ilKhan.

      I like that either ending for this game is a tragedy. Either you sacrifice your humanity for a doomed cause or you sacrifice pretty much everything else (including half your remaining family) to keep your humanity. I also like that there's a LOT of foreshadowing, even little offhand comments tie up neatly.

Make sure you're directing them onto target(s) whenever possible. Ordering them into the fight will get them on target and firing quicker than just letting them react.

    Yes definitely a load of DLCs to continue the story. Great playthrough, as ever your skill makes a mockery of the AI although you did show why the Dire Wolf was so popular amongst the legendary characters of Mechwarrior lore.
    Ending a bit contrived. Your Star blows right through the Imperial Palace and yet those pussy Nova Cats give up the ghost and cause a complete collapse of the attack. Tsk tsk.
    A bit confused about the legendary Natasha Kerensky and her Black Widows. She and her battalion answered the call when the Clans invaded the Inner Sphere and when Ulric Kerensky became Ilkhan (as has happened) she became Khan of the Clan Wolf. She is not still a mercenary leading the Dragoons. If you have any pull might want to point that out to the Devs Sir.

    Kind of a bit of an abrupt ending tbh I feel like they really could have spent easily an extra two hours actually exploring the story. Kinda feels like they were setting this up to go into act three and then were told they had to stop and release the game

    I was disappointed in the ending. It feels like the end of a chapter and to be honest SJ didn't really accomplish anything. I felt, just watching, that the game was easy even on hard mode. I think you only ever lost one mech in battle? The progression of new mechs was way too fast and caused older mechs to be instantly obsolete. Where are the missions that have better parts for light and medium mechs? I enjoyed watching YOU Baradul, but I am glad I didn't spend the money on this game.

      I would have expected the Mia path to be a non-canon SJ victory on Luthien. But they chose to be compatible with the canon in both cases.

      By the way, I finished the game a few days ago and I am totally happy with it. Clearly game of the year for me.

    Better than ezra would have been a good episode name.

    What fantastic writing. The feels in that scene with ez and Jayden are real. How is anyone ok after that? So good.
