Ye he’s not but he cares about MC and Bingley’s rep
Yes, but a horse of such disposition and preference wouldn’t be taken everywhere - it’s at their ancestral home or main residence with a stable for the horses.
I’m not so clear on this point since in their era I don’t know if people were capable of discerning and understanding the full value of wealth as we do today, but I would be guided by the fact that they based themselves on income to assume that wealth - for example Bingley’s 5000 pounds or Darcy’s 10000.
I can’t wait to meet the ro’s! This is how it’s gonna be for my MC
MC: Bingley… I’m not in search of any match, I just became a marquess. There’s so many thi- OH MY GOD
Bingley: Bro chill! You look weird!
MC: Guys! Look! LOOK (pointing at Elizabeth) She is so fine! That’s my wife, no doubt!
Darcy: Are you serious?
MC: BRO YES! LOOK! Alright, Bingley, I got a plan. You talk to her sister so I can approach her.
Bingley: Her sister… Bet.
Darcy: What about me?
MC: I don’t know, go marry your cousin or something.
I really enjoyed this wip, your writing and descriptions are very good and similar to Victorian prose like in Pride and Prejudice.
Will there be something on the character page in Stat menu to refresh some readers on the characters and stuff of Pride and Prejudice because it’s been a while since I read it ![]()
Poor Mrs. Hurst, I wish I could romance her discreetly away from dreary Mr. Hurst, but that does not seem feasible in that day and age ![]()
Buddy this will make it extremely big scandal dragging bingley name and both of his sisters in the mud if Mrs bingley have a hard time finding a match these chances will go to hell after something like that happens
Just realised that Mrs Bennet might have an aneurysm out of pure glee if we marry Jane - her favourite daughter marrying one of the richest in Europe? She might actually explode.
Yeah I kinda picture her as that neighbor who always boasts the husband of her daughter ![]()
But if I’m not mistaken, her favorite is Lydia and she’s not RO. Ironically, her favorite will soon marry the worst guy possible in this story🤣
Whoops no, you’re absolutely right haha.
I’m glad you liked the demo. On the stats page there will be information about the characters but from the demo and its additions to the story, as well as some historical clarifications that I want to add.
Would we be allowed to cuss?
Zounderkite – an insult meaning idiot or fool (sounds like a medieval Pokémon move)
Fopdoodle – a foolish, insignificant man (like an insult you’d hear on SpongeBob)
Coxcomb – a vain, self-obsessed man (the sass of this one is off the charts)
Rantallion – a man whose genitals are embarrassingly disproportionate (too descriptive to not laugh)
Mumblecrust – a toothless beggar or muttering old person (try saying this with a straight face)
Lickspittle – a sycophant or suck-up (the imagery alone…)
Scobberlotcher – a lazy good-for-nothing loafer (sounds like something out of Roald Dahl)
Dunderhead – a blockhead or idiot (try using it in a modern argument—it kills tension instantly)
Pigeon-livered – cowardly (are pigeons known for courage?)
Lobcock – an awkward or stupid man, also slang for a soft penis (double entendre just makes it worse)
Clodpoll – an oaf or dull person (feels like a Harry Potter insult)
Bescumber – to spray poo upon (yes, literally – Victorian Shakespearean level filth)
Snollygoster – a corrupt politician or clever deceiver (but sounds like a puppet from Fraggle Rock)
Rakefire – someone who overstays their welcome (imagine yelling this at a house guest)
Jobbernowl – someone with no brains (sounds like a Pokémon move or medieval pasta)
Smellfeast – someone who shows up only when there’s food (every friend group has one)
Gollumpus – a large, clumsy person (basically a lovable insult)
Tatterdemalion – a person in rags (more Shakespearean but still hilarious today)
Beardsplitter – a vivid term for the penis
Rantallion – someone whose scrotum is longer than his penis
Gamahuche (or gamahuching) – slang for oral sex
Lobcock – a large, relaxed penis, or a dull person
Doodle sack, Madge, money, muff – various nicknames for female genitalia
Those are ones I just found out or is our MC just to refined to say such insults cause I can kinda see Bingley or Lizzie saying such words maybe even Mr Hurst himself.
Oh great, now I’m picturing Bingley yelling that at us.
Some are quite funny, I can see the MC insulting Wickham while Darcy and Bingley listen.
I have a question. I’ve been studying Mr Darcy personality and is it me or does it seem like Darcy is autistic in some way I mean there are certain things like
Social Difficulties:
Darcy often struggles in social situations, particularly at balls and with strangers. He dislikes small talk and avoids socializing unless he is comfortable with the people present.
Direct Communication:
He is known for his blunt and honest communication style, sometimes leading to misunderstandings or offense.
Preference for Solitude:
Darcy is often seen alone or with a select few close friends, preferring his own company or that of his family at Pemberley.
Intellectual Focus:
He is highly intelligent and analytical, valuing intellect and logic over social graces.
Strict Adherence to Rules:
Darcy is often seen as adhering to social rules and customs, and he can be critical of those who do not.
Arguments against the Interpretation
Pride and Social Anxiety.
Some argue that Darcy’s behavior is better explained by his pride and social anxiety, rather than autism so I’m not sure. What are your thoughts?
Also wanted to ask. Will we get like an epilogue with the game to probably explain like what has happened after a specific time or will that all be explained in the main chapters?
Really, until you wrote this comment, it had never crossed my mind that Darcy could be on the autism spectrum. And I do see and understand why, viewed through a modern lens, you arrive at the conclusion that Darcy could be autistic. But I base myself, center and guide myself on the traditional reading and interpretation within the context, both of the novel and of the era in which Jane Austen lived. We also have to take into account that half of the novel is based on the perspective of people who don’t know him, don’t deal with him, aren’t part of his life, are on the periphery of his property and are very likely below him both economically and socially, causing him to adopt behaviors that can be misinterpreted.
Yes! One of my biggest frustrations with many interactive games is the lack of a good detailed epilogue that closes the story once and for all. I plan, hopefully, if I finish Autumn Winds, for the epilogue to be as good as I want it to be, similar to the original novel’s, but with the additions of the MC’s actions during the year of gameplay and during their stay in London.
Where does the Marquis MC stay in london? Is it mayfair or other townhouse area?
The demo already says that information before the shower scene, but basically the marquess stays in St James and the landowner or Gentry stays in Mayfair.
Hi! Just wondering when you’ll update again? I really miss your stories! Thank you very much😆
