I Actually understand her thought process, or at least, I think I can, which is why I don’t hate her, but I still want her dead

Part of me wishes MC brought the book they learned the disenchantment spell from. Because once they find that on their person, things would become a lot clearer. Maybe not crystal clear, but the motive behind MC’s actions would be understood better.
“Trying to cast a disenchantment spell for a bomb. Huh, something strange is afoot.”

Why not curse her and all of her future generations? I wish the MC could do that as they burned on the pyre.
“I curse you, Ante, that your life shall be filled with endless misery from now on! You shall curse your mother for the day you were born, and all of your descendants shall curse your name until the end of time! You shall die the most horrible death imaginable, and burn in hell for all eternity henceforth!”
I imagine a conversation between the MC and Leon like this when they finally reunite:
Leon: “(MC’s name), I-”
MC: Holds up a hand “It’s alright, Leomar. You don’t have to explain. I know you love Ante. That’s why you chose to believe her over me.”
Totally! Even if you don’t hate Ante, her incompetence as a supposed Spymaster poses a grievous security risk for the Param kingdom. Maybe we can use this as an excuse to convince Leon to let us kill her. (For those of us who don’t plan to kill Leon and/or destroy the whole Param, that is.)

Something tells me we aren’t going to be able to destroy Param. Conquer maybe, but destroy? An entire nation full of people? Doesn’t seem like something COG would sign off on.

Well condensing that there is going to be an ending where the mc goes on a huge murder rampage against everyone I don’t see why not

Yeah but I mean, Genocide.
What do you think I meant by huge murder rampage

Just saying that might not make it past marketing.
Well, the genocide happened to the Arcadians already. And I think taking revenge on a nation that wronged you by destroying it isn’t really called “genocide”. The term “massacre” will be more accurate.

There are games here where you can kill children how is this worse

No, it’s a genocide. All attempts to wipe out a population are genocide, no matter what reason given. It would, in the case of the Arcadians, be a “genocide of the sub-altern”, but that is still a genocide.
And, since I think I need to say it again…
GENOCIDE IS NEVER EXCUSABLE, IT IS NEVER OK, THERE IS NEVER A REASON TO DO IT.
Any attempt to excuse genocide excuses all genocide. Genocide is one of those things where there can be no leniency. It is always evil.
In regards to whether or not CoG will allow depictions of it, the only time I know of, albeit, I haven’t played all games, is Chronicon Apocalyptica’s depiction of the St. Brice’s Day Massacre in England, wherein England ordered the purging of all Danes in their country in response to Danish raiding ravaging their country.
As far as I know, our choices are limited to stopping it, or allowing it to happen, but we don’t participate, and either way, the game very explicitly depict it as an evil act, and planned and ordered by an evil fae masquerading as King Æthelred II.
Because genocide involves murdering many, many, many children? And others? And is something many groups in the world are traumatized by? And something some groups in the world are literally undergoing right now? And many other groups are at risk of? Like, they aren’t even comparable…

Not worse objectively in terms of design, but worse for branding because of controversy.
Can we, you know, drop this?

As someone whose grandparents and great grandparents who were survivors of both genocides and massacres, I know very well the difference between the two. All genocides are massacres, but not all massacres are genocides.
All genocides are racially motivated, but not all massacres are. And I never attempted to excuse either one. Neither is OK. Period.
Anyway, I don’t wish to talk more on sensitive subjects like these here. They never end well. Not to mention these subjects cause me no small amount of pains.
Let’s keep fiction in fiction.

I personally wouldn’t curse the generations since only Ante is to blame for a good amount of bs MC experienced. But in my headcanon the MC was looking at Leon while burning. Because where else to look if not at the person who betrayed his comrade and lover and just fucked up royally in general (pun intended)

Fortunately, we’re not strictly limited to one murder.
I, for one, am willing to forgive all wrongdoings as long as my MC is allowed to destroy the tacky statue Leon ordered be built in honor of them.

Burn it, just like they did with us.
I don’t know about y’all MCs but mine is skipping all that pyrophobia thing to become an arsonist. Something like “I’ve been there I ain’t afraid of it anymore. I am fire I am death” thing.
