Behavior is part genetic partly environmental.
And seeing as being raised in the 1400 wouldnt make me more loved by people I would still be as misanthropic depressing jealous and sych as I am now
Nothing back then would make me as kind and honor bound as you think.
Who said anything about kind and honor bound?
Thatāsā¦ Actually a great point.
In fact, Lance probably thinks heās being charming (as he is, quite obviously, in the 15th Century) by courting Guen and trying to be affectionate, instead of bluntly asking the MC on a date. Plus, he adds some
drama!
But if he steals Morganaās spotlight he will be exectuted.
To The DEATH!

By honor bound I mean that you think I would care of honor.
Honor is pretty worthless.
I think you should stop assuming that I think that you would become honorable when Iāve said nothing of the sort.
Not to the people of the 15th century.

ā¦which wasnāt in the Jeantown-verse. I know there are a lot of posts on this thread, but Iām pretty sure itās been mentioned many times that there is no single canon for the Arthur legends; different writers have always taken them in totally different directions.
So thereās really no need to be flabbergasted when Jean does something different from Random Arthurian Picture I Found On The Internet. 
When Jean said she hope you were kidding, Iām pretty sure it wasnāt in reference to the typo, but because a Molotov cocktail is too modern to be appropriate in the context.

Direct quote from the most reliable place in the world: Wikipedia!
Improvised incendiary devices were used for the first time in the Spanish Civil War between July 1936 and April 1939,[6] before they became known as "Molotov cocktails". In 1936

My views on life wouldnāt change then.
The only difference is I might be less knowledgeable about science.
Yeah, itās not as if anything else might possibly be different for someone taught different things.
Iām not going to even try to find a sarcasm tag there.
Teaching me morals would be pointless as mentally my personality iām too chaotic and fragmented.
And also what would I be learning as a peasant?
Were peasants even taught about honor and chivalry and such?
Somehow, at this point I have to wonder how, you were (in this time) taught how to read and write, and what honor is. Iām fairly sure that youād be taught something back then, whether you want to think of yourself as immune to outside influence or not.

The thing is you canāt possibly know what you would be like if you were born in the 1400s simply because you would have been raised completely differently, in a totally different environment to what itās like now. True you would likely have some of the same personality traits that you have inherited- but the way you think would probably be completely different to how you think now.
ā¦But Iām getting off-topic

. Oh. I gotta keep that in mind when beta testing a medieval fantasy game.
. Oh.
@ everyone in the Guenevere thread whoās discussing how their personalities if they existed in the Middle Ages:
Can we please stop discussing how we would be like in the Middle Ages? It seems weird. For all we know, we might even be a peasant farmer or related to some random noble family, or a middle class guy.
@jeantown
1a) Will Mordred have an aversion against using swords, just be bad at swordfighting or will he have other reasons not to use them?
b) Couldnāt he occasionaly wear one?
c) Wouldnāt people in general expect someone who wants to be king to be armed?
2) Couldnāt the navy be used without Guenās or Arthurās direct involvement, for example if the player chose to build a navy, an invading force in a later part would arrive weaker due to losses in an off-screen naval battle?

I vote that Mordred deliberately avoid wearing a sword, and use a mace or something, just to demonstrate that picking at the tiniest possible details is a waste of time.

Iām loving all this Morgana love. It really tickles me that everyone is all āugh I hate Arthurā/āNooo, Arthurās lovelyā and āEughh Lance sucksā/Leave Lance alone!ā yet when Morgana comes up almost everyone unanimously is just like ā Oh Morgana? Yeah, sheās the bomb.ā

Morgana has that perfect mix of principles and pragmatism that means whichever way you swing, you can like that about her.

That sort of discussion is exactly what this thread is for. 
This.
A poorly-led army might still be able to do okay if someoneās burning up the enemy archers with magical fire, or constantly healing her wounded fightersā¦ but donāt worry, leadership!Guen should get the most glory.
This is extremely important to me. Iām so sick of stories with interesting characters, where the male characters get developed and change over time, but the female characters, awesome as they are, are just statically awesome with no development (coughStarWarsRebelscough). Unfortunately, Iām also going to be upholding the common trope of female character development that if female characters change, 80% of the time itās to do with something sexual or maybe romantic (and like 15% to do with children), since Morganaās first point of major character change will be Mordredās conception. Iām not happy about that, but Iām kind of stuck with it, and I really hope I can avoid that trope in the future.
Notedā¦ Honestly, I still have no idea if/when Iāll bring Julia in, but itās good to know people are interested.
Exactly. Arthurās assumption that women canāt have sex with each other says a lot about how limited his idea of sex is (in part 1, anyway).
Yes. Yes, it would be. That one, however, is definitely off the table.
@Havenstone is my knight in shining armor.
As a member of the nobility, heāll wear a sword sometimes out of obligation, but he has no interest in learning to fight or becoming a knight. There are two main reasons for this: one, he just isnāt physically predisposed to be a fighter; heās slight and willowy, had health issues as a child, and was bullied by other children; and two, since his childhood he has utterly hated Lancelot and everything Lancelot stands for, so he wants to differentiate himself from Lance as much as possible and abhors all things knightly. He may also try to leverage his non-fighting nature to gain public approval ā he presents himself at the anti-Arthur, the one who will truly bring about peace and doesnāt need to do it at sword-point.
Theoretically, thereās no reason why not; Iād just need a reason why-to.
I never realized how tough it is to write FAQs. Like, how long should they be, really? I could make it really, really long, but then people would have to wade through tons of text to find the answer theyāre looking for, which means theyād probably just ask me directly because thatās easier, thereby defeating the whole purpose of the FAQ. But if a question isnāt on the FAQ, itās going to get asked again and againā¦ argh, I donāt know.
Oh, thatās a lovely way to describe her; thank you. Iām going to keep that in mind as I continue to develop her.
