Crème de la Crème Discussion and Romance Guide (Spoilers Within)

She (I) am looking to date Hartman to start…but Blaise…

Nope. NOPE. I refuse to be sidetracked.

Remy snickers behind her whisky.

REMY. Not. A. WORD. :angry:

I’ve heard that Rosario is the best to romance if the MC’s family standing is to be restored. Is this true?

In your parents’ eyes, it seems as though either Auguste or Rosario would be the ultimate choice.

They’re equal (at least according to the parental relationship boost in the code), but besides that I don’t think they affect your familial reputation in the epilogue.

I think in terms of what the MC’s future looks like in the last chapter, what’s more important in restoring the family name are popularity and virtue. Grades are helpful too, but that’s mostly for yourself.

Post-epilogue (delving into headcanon here), it makes a lot of sense that Rosario would be the best to romance for family standing! I think in this universe, you really can’t do better, socially speaking, than marrying a prince/princess/heir. :crown:

Thank you for the guide :heart:
Though

Don’t need Spirit and increases Wit ( if Wit is commonplace, it will increase it significantly to reach Noteworthy I think) also maybe your Course Grade too? :sweat_smile:

Increases Intrigue

Ohhh, that would be interesting. Probablu just Wits but it would be interesting if it did increase Course Grade.

I completely forgot

How’s everyone’s MC doing in CDLC (like the ending they got or how successful they were)

(Also, finally started on making Florin, Auguste, and Rosario Dnd characters. Florin’s either a Human, Elf (haven’t thought of the subrace), or a Half-Elf, Auguste is a Tiefling or High Elf…I have justifications for Tiefling, and Rosario is gonna be either a Halfling or possibly Human…or even a Dwarf. Still thinking about it)

OMG I forgot Karson. I should make one for Karson too!

Truee maybe the increase in grade is just if you are successful in the overall work placement XD

Maybe you should try looking into the code
@violet knows how to do it :smile:
It would be easier I’m guessing

Oh and congrats on making them :heart:

Lemme just be That Person for a moment:

This post DID start out as a developer diary and romance guide. Seeing as it’s gained enough followers to start discussing MCs and chosen routes, perhaps it’s time for those most interested in talking about those to start a new thread?

IIRC there is a NSFW thread for Wayhaven, and a wishlist thread for Fallen Hero 2 which was created by a regular member rather than a moderator, so a separate thread for the fans to have fun first and foremost sounds like a good idea!

I never really know whether it’s better to keep discussion of a game all in one place so it doesn’t spread everywhere or whether to divide it out so that they can focus on the different topics. In this case it might be better to have indepth MC discussions in another thread so that I’m less likely to miss queries or possible bugs. I’m not totally sure either way though and am not a moderator, and certainly don’t want to dampen anyone’s enthusiasm!

Sorry for the wishywashy response - today is a bit tricky for some personal reasons.

Yep, getting engaged to Auguste fixes your family’s rep, and romancing them non-engaged does too, as long as you aren’t in trouble for helping Lady Renaldt. Romancing Rosario, whether you get engaged or not, and regardless of any plot happenings, helps your family a ton.

Hartmann and Blaise were good friends but the combination of Blaise not being made Head Prefect, plus the family troubles, made Blaise a lot more grouchy towards Hartmann. Neither of them are super emotionally open and Blaise in particular is very proud so it was a situation where an honest conversation between friends would probably have fixed it, but they were both a bit too prickly to do that.

Gonzalez isn’t super technically good but is very enthusiastic and joyful so people enjoy hearing it.

Hartmann is OK and would sing in a choir but wouldn’t do any public performing in a solo or duet situation, they’re not all that confident with it.

Max loves to sing!

Freddie enjoys singing and whistling when bustling around the place but wouldn’t perform publicly.

Delacroix isn’t all that musical and if they were caught whistling or something, would be self conscious about it.

Karson has a nice voice and would definitely sing in a group setting given the chance.

Auguste is dreadful and will not even countenance singing in public (they dislike doing anything that they’re not at least near-perfect at)

Rosario has a lovely voice and was taught to sing from a young age - they’re pretty confident at it.

Florin is great at singing but rarely performs. You might hear them singing in the shower.

Edit: oh, I forgot Blaise! They are pretty good at singing, but they’re a bit self-conscious. Over time they might get more confident with it.

My rule of thumb is this: If the discussion turns into a back-and-forth between two people over several posts, then it should be taken private or to another thread.

A community discussion should have more than two involved in it actively.

Other mods might have their thoughts to add.

If, in the future, this happens again, please let one of us know.

Thank you so much for answering :heart:
I hope things will get better soon too

Another friendship ruined in Cdlc due to miscommunication :disappointed_relieved:

I’m glad almost everyone has a talent for singing :heart:
(Well except for Auguste XD but they still have a lot of multiple talents anyway and a harem of their own too :laughing:)

Rosario is a literal heir to a throne–they are a catch even for Westerlin royalty. PC’s parents are soon to be “Parents of the Heir Consort of Zaledo” at the end of CdlC if they propose marriage–I wonder if that gets them invitations into circles far beyond their wildest dreams.

@HannahPS If CdlC PC marries Rosario, I wonder if their parents will make an appearance in royal circles (since they are now very royal-adjacent) and in Royal Affairs.

Hello everyone !

I’m having trouble with something and I couldn’t find the answer …

Do you know what you have to do to get away without anyone realising you were part of Lady Renaldt’s plan and also without anyone having any suspicions about her ?

Thank youuuu

I assume your character is genuinely working alongside Lady Renaldt in this?

Hello :heart:
I don’t think it’s possible that completely everyone will not notice your MC’s involvement
Considering Blaise gives you the note XD And you need Karson’s help in “resigning” your bestfriend

It is possible to have her remain as a Headmaster though XD
Usually Poise stat will help in that the most I guess

Oh and reputation stats too

You would have to tell Lady Renalt when the reporter investigated you. Also kidnap Max when Lady Renalt told you so. When Blaise and Max came to the graduation ceremony, you would have to stop them from entering, distract them til Shroeder came to stop Blaise.
Lady Renalt would not have to resign and you will get the “Better part of Valor” achievement.

She would have to resign if Blaise and Max managed to interrupt the ceremony.

Even if they interrupted it, it’s still possible that Lady Renaldt would not resign
Though Schroeder will still be jailed
