COMING THURSDAY: "Choice of Magics," AUTHOR INTERVIEW, TRAILER, and DEMO

There are very few chances in a fantasy game to drop a reference to a robot game, without having golems be too much like robots. So, pickles.

The only quasi-RO who doesnā€™t have a relationship bar is Seer Marie. Who is pretty fucking difficult to romance, but itā€™s kind of possible at the very end if ā€œfate smiles on you.ā€ The full romances are Tal, Cos, V__, Thecla, and Sam.

We have a TVTropes page, everyone. I figured that we may as well make one at the start because this game will fill out to require it. All the rest of you are humbly encouraged to go over there, add tropes and ruin your lives.

How do you Romance Sam?

I am starting to get annoyed by those peasants , so i help Tal solve the problem with that 12 leg animal by finding it a new food sourse, we donā€™t have to kill it, win win situationā€¦ but they insist on having it killed and take its headā€¦ not paying Tal and make her hate meā€¦ they are such bloodthristy fools, i am wondering whether i even want to save or help such uncivilised selfish peasants

ā€¦Anyone know how to save Vera?.. She died after our wedding :sob:

ā€¦I can live with the world falling apart, but I just need to save her.

Save Vera from what? Youā€™re going to have to be more specific.

Oh my god, the turtle :joy:

I have this amazing life, I got married to the mayor, I save my nation, I donā€™t have too much rot, and then a giant size inquisitor attacks me. I manage to defeat it, change it back into a human, and then HE TURNS ME INTO A TURTLE!
At least I got to be the queenā€™s advisor as a turtle, but the mayor dumped me.

Absolutely loved this game, totally amazing and immersive, ten out of ten for me. I do have a favourite scene, one that really moved me, but Iā€™ll put it in spoilers. When you go to your execution in the Magisterium and think itā€™s all about to end and then you turn things around and thereā€™s this really beautiful moment where Espar comes back and saves you with poetry. The audience all sort of rise up and change and you walk home free. It was just awesome and touching, I wasnā€™t expecting anything like it. The choice that leads to it as well where you help the leper and then just stand there and tell everyone to be kind rather than flee was beautiful. Thanks for writing something so brilliant and moving, I really loved it.

Really? My autamation, glamour and divination route has me with 945 by the time I shop before heading to rescue cos, and I spent 455.

She dies from a Negation experiment. The text implies we didnā€™t train her enough.

Sorry I wasnā€™t more specificā€¦

You probably need to have a higher negation level or just to make her work on something else. Like clearing the storms

Lol thatā€™s what she was supposed to be doing! Thanks for the tip anyway, Iā€™ll try a higher level on my next playthrough.

Yeah, the game has a lot of bad endings, but I found them interesting in a way how bad i could make everything goā€¦ some are very bizarre and some are good and sweet and taht makes one want to replay more

Thanks! Iā€™d say if I had one choice and scene Iā€™m most proud of, itā€™s how to cheer up Espar. If you play the game long enough, you realize that this itself is a choice of magics - the magics of the sun.

The most surefire way to romance Sam is to become a Saint while visiting the Cathedral with Sam, which itself requires either going along with the Inquisitors or avoiding capture by the Inquisitors long enough for Sam to visit you with his dragon. (And both of those in turn require good Church relationship or Sam relationship.) Sam can become a Saint too if you taught him Vivomancy, and you can explore your feelings for each other while headed to your different posts. There are a few other possible flirtations earlier that suggest Sam is romanceable, but they donā€™t necessarily trigger his romance; and thereā€™s at least one or two other paths that lead to his romance, but theyā€™re obscure enough that it would take a while to detail the exact sequence of events.
