in fire emblem would dirk be the character who is autorecruited with jake like leon is with valbar, or would he be the character who is recruited from the enemy side by jake like guy is by matthew

what if it’s one of those maps where there’s two NPCs on the map, one is inside the keep surrounded by enemy units and the other is outside the keep and joins up with your army to help the NPC inside. Dirk starts inside and Jake starts outside, Jake is like oh thank god an army! back me up I’m going in

Your commander is like what the fuck is this hold on but is powerless to stop him, he stays an NPC until he gets to Dirk and you have to back his damn fool ass up or he’ll rush in and get killed

meanwhile if you don’t get to Dirk in time he also rushes out from the other direction and also gets killed

you can only recruit them by defending jake until his NPC AI gets him to Dirk and they talk and then if your commander talks to them AGAIN they turn blue but most guides agree it’s better to just let them stay as NPCs and kill all the enemies in range of them so they’ll just fucking stay there. stay put. stop … doing things. STAY THERE
