Choice of Magics — Your magic can change the world, but at what cost?

I think it depends the personality of character I for instance if my partner become one of the spoilers options I would directly say take the road jack i don’t care your charisma. In fact several characters could break during the game for very logical reasons.

Yeah I get that for some of the spouses but not even getting a scene with them seems a bit weak to me.

If I have oooone regret about the game it’s that it’s actually possible to be too branchy, where I just can’t effectively follow up on everything in the weirder branches that can’t use the cross-epilogue narration. If I had it to do over again, I 'd probably work harder to winnow things down to the point where I could be really thorough about everything in every ending. In my defense for transformations, though, it seems like the player is already deciding the RO isn’t that important to them (unless the transformation was unintentional).

Given just how many possible ending permutations you’ve created, some bugginess is inevitable (I’m still finding and reporting ending continuity issues). This game has more corner cases than a hypercube!

In terms of sanity, I think CoR did it better - you had only so many possible exit states from the four paths, as opposed to the sheer number of revolutionary, semi-revolutionary, non-revolutionary and failure-mode endings possible in CoM. CoM’s options are more enjoyable, of course, but that comes with the price of needing massive fix work.

Can someone answer a few questions for me?
First how do you master the dark sun and prevent it from destroying the palace and killing the queen?
And second how do you transform into a dragon?

You don’t. You avoid that route by not employing large-scale negation. Remember: Magic isn’t safe.

Vivomancy.

Thank you but then how do you master the dark sun?

After the palace is destroyed, if your negation and other relevant magics are high enough, you can bring the eruptions under control and save the world.

i see. thank you for your help Ramidel

That’s not an error. That’s the price in Canada when it’s on sale.

Wow! Thanks so much for this!

Sorry a few more questions.
When the queen first asks Sam and the MC what she should do she never listens to any suggestion I make always saying wisdom of the ages is better. How do I convince her?
Also how do we marry the queen? And how do we ride a dragon?

The queen’s decisions about whether to go with the church or you depend heavily on the queen’s feelings about the Church, which are tracked separately from your relationship with her; several choices in her interview help one but hurt the other. If you don’t want her to listen to the Church, answer her questions in a way that causes her to mistrust it.

To marry the queen, flirt with her and then, if she invites you to dinner, impress her by how well you understand her feelings about power and herself. You also can’t be simultaneously romancing Tal, at least not if Tal comes to visit the palace.

Riding a dragon happens naturally if you have created them with Vivomancy and don’t have such a high Divination score that actually going anywhere isn’t necessary.

there were two options for the queen. both meant the same thing but one had Flirt in brackets does that make a difference?
Creating dragons can only be done if the queen agrees right?

Yes, one compliment is marked with (flirt) and another is not so that players don’t accidentally get involved in a romance they didn’t intend.

The queen does need to sign off on the dragons.

Ok Thank you so much. This game is really complex

:cry::cry:. I’m so sad :disappointed: :sob: :anguished:

I adore this game so much, almost always get some new different scenes for each playthrough. Wow. :star_struck:

This damn game kept me up till 4am last night !!! THATS HOW GOOD IT WAS !!! :heart_eyes:

Also…(SPOILERSSSSSSS BEWARE!)

Summary

for some reasons , after the 1st flirt with the queen and she say that she like my MC . It was weird , because I got the scene with Tal and she was also interested in her . So choose to keep them apart . But that just gave me NO SMOOCHIE with the queen . So bug?

Also , how do you cure rot ? I do have the alchemy set …but I never get the option to do so .

And can you win the damn war if you take the saint path at all ? cose that flowery preaching lol

Oh and last…anyone got the underground ending ? felt like we going all AVERNUM LIKE! LOVED IT!

Oh and another thing , do you ever get dragons from dragons eggs ? cose…nothing ever happen with them .

Can someone post a guide on how to get all the achievements?
