Nope… we all need idealistic motivation to run our life , without such idealistic purpose it will be hard for us to succeed anything
In the end, a person full of idealistic mind live happier than manipulative or calculative mind …
To fight for the Helot to be accepted by the ruling Monarchy system is a path of reformation for the kingdom…
My Aristocrat MC however, would prefer to choose a more direct route of governing… overthrowing the current ruling house and replace it with Suzane sitting on the throne while i enforce her rule as Angel Eclect
My COM2 aristocrat MC thinks kinda like this too. Except she doesn’t wants to share the position of the most important ruler with anyone. She kinda wants to become the queen of the new hegemony (bc Shayard isn’t enough for her) and also the religious leader, kinda like a pharaoh just in a mediavel setting.
Sounds like the complete opposite of my other MC, and this is why I really like this game bc it has so many possibilities to try out different things.
Priest king or priest queen of a kingdom is not uncommon …
I prefer to let Suzane be the queen because she possess the same idealistic virtue , and is equip with the proper ruling knowledge …
I would want to concentrate on the matter of how to terraform the land without using harrowing… in addition, i also intend to negotiate alliance with the blood mages , mutants and other factions for a long lasting peace
That’s something we don’t have enough information about yet imo. Sure my CHA2 MC wants to get rid of it. But my other MCs, as for the COM2 MC she might keep it around as a tool to get rid of her enemies kinda like the Theumatarch does, and my INT2 MC wants to study it first, are it’s uses really just to get blood for the theurges to catalise their magic powers or is it really necessary to keep the people from becoming mutants also would it really be that bad to let the people become mutants and all that… Uhh, I haven’t really decided yet where I want things to go with this MC aside from playing the skeptic route.
It’s truly said. Love is Blind.
We are only in the 1st game, know a little about Suzane. And here you are dreaming of letting her rule your would-be realm. And acting as her puppet.
Hahaha… Suzane’s insistant of requesting me to propose her under proper manner had just won herself a throne :-)
The scene she almost cried when she learn that she may lost her family sword was too sweet… father would had been proud with our family names bond togethet too
@Cari-san… i think we need to investigate the source of Sarcifer power without harrowing as well, getting rid of the harrower should be a master stroke to draw support of loyalty from the halots
That’s what my INT2 MC will do probably, also she did well enough too without harrowing, sure she had to be content with less obvious magic which just slightly influenced things around her but still it worked.
Also about Suzane. While she seems like a nice RO and even a good leader figure if you also share her idealistic views, but I agree with @Gforce here. We need to get to know her better. The things you mentioned about her are hardly qualities which would necessarily make her a good queen.
Edit: Anyway was anyone ever so cruel that they took the family blade from S? How did S react to that? Do they still join the rebellion?
Just out of curiousity, is your MC an aristocrat or a helot? Also does he bring it up later that he would like to have his sword back again or something?
There is one scene if you go sheep raiding and talk with S about their past where they try to grip their sword, forgetting for a second you took it. But I don’t think they hold a grudge over it
I think Suzane/Simon had express the willingness to lost the family blade forever … especially Suzane never hesitate to unbuckle her sword in order to join me in the Xaos land :-)
In my 2nd Mc, Simon express that the Theuge Sword is more worthy for him to bear when i give it to him
Except my mc doesn’t wear it. If anything it’s a trophy at the moment.
Grudgingly, but then Simon is about as rare as pink unicorn and not at all representative of the typical nobility. That, if anything, would be Hector. Even Horion isn’t exactly respectful or seeing the helot mc, no matter how intelligent as a true equal here. Like I said before an unorthodox, intelligent helot mc seems to frighten Horion more than anything else.
Well… a low anarchy Rebel who doesn’t attack the Aristocrat is rare as well, that’s why logically such rebel would attract someone like Suzane/Simon Such MC and Suzane/Simon are all idealistic individual that deserve each other …
Horion makes it pretty clear how much he “respects” the helots when he talks about Kala/Kalt. He actually compared them to a dog even if they attacked him that seems to harsh imo.
A certain type of helot perhaps, fierce but ultimately controllable. The mc helot, particularly the more intelligent and skeptical ones in positions of true authority…not so much. Or perhaps more to the point Horion’s “open-mindedness” and tolerance of helots only goes so far. Having a helot mc be simultaneously skeptical, intelligent and thinking way outside the established boxes “the all things are in flux branch” does not sit well with Horion and this is far more obvious in the helot path then when a “noble” mc has that same conversation.
Note that with a charismatic helot mc Horion can be made to spell out his potential dislike of the mc’s vision when it clashes too much with his own, with the high int mc he remains more circumspect for some reason.
Simon is rare in that he’s an anti-Hegemony aristo willing to stick his neck out for a nascent rebellion. There are, presumably, many other such aristos out there who are just being more circumspect.
Not that I’m disagreeing with most of them being bastards. Because they are. Simon’s just young and full of piss and vinegar, so he throws his weight behind our rebellion right away. Of course there are aristos out there who are good people, or at least okay people. Simon is one, the mc is (potentially) another.
From my playthroughs I got the impression Wards are largery responsible for the unnatural phenomena they are supposedly erected to protect from. Am I the only one thinking this? What are the prevailing theories on the Wards?
To be fair, Kalt/Kala are pretty vicious, especially to aristos. They aren’t unjustified, imo, but from Horion’s perspective, they really aren’t much better than a rabid beast.
