Guenevere (WIP)

@Jeantown

Um, out of curiosity, do you hate plot twists? :sunglasses:

Sir @Havenstone of Choice of Games, a knight in the Order of the Forum.

Perhaps you should decide the FAQ into many different parts?

“Questions about Lancelot”

“Questions about Morgana”

Edit:

Can we get a fae piranha?

Could we get Fankish swords, Frankish knives, Franksih boiled leather armor, etc, even if it’s weird for a queen?

Back when knights were a thing, up until the late 16th century (if I remember correctly) Courtly honor only meant the first definition. They could not sleep with the lady, or that would be dishonorable.

Later down the road, (17th to 18th century) when knights fell out of practice as it became impractical, courtly love was when you could sleep with a lady.

However, courtly love has always been associated with sex in some way or form and always legal/honorable.

And Jean, because I’m on a knight role and I thought you might be interested! Did you know “knight in shining armor” used to be an insult (or backhanded compliment) meaning a knight was inexperienced and/or didn’t deserve his title as knight?

And with that, I’ll drop the courtly love topic. It got a bit long winded, but what I was getting at was showing evidence that Lance is not in the wrong for giving Guen trophies. It’s well within his right.

As for why he does it with Guen and not Arthur: Knights of the time were pushed to give such things to a lady, because the gesture is partially romantic, but still considered an honor. To offer trophies to your leige’s lady – even if the gesture has some romantic connotations – does not mean you’re putting the moves on her, or that the two of them are locked in an affair.

I probably should just dr–

Lancelot is awesome.

(Not as awesome as Morgana though…)
In fact the scale of awesomeness goes like so:
Morgana,
The Fae Pet,
Lance,
Arthur,
Merlin.

Blasphemy! Merlin is at LEAST as cool as Lance. Who DOESN’T love that seemingly senile “turn you into a ferret” mage?! Merlin needs a bigger role… Because.

No the correct one is.
Merlin=Morgana
The fae pet
Lancelot
Arthur

No its
Fae pet
Lance/Merlin
Morgana
Arthur (and I love Arthur a ton so that’s saying something)

Get it right people!

So Arthur and lance are buff? lol . What’s the cause of mordreds health problems ? I feel like the cool list is more like this…
Lance
Lance Doppler ganger 1
Lance doppelganger 2.0
Lance doppelganger 3.0
Lancelot is my favorite character obviously​:heart_eyes::grin::kissing_heart: I can’t seem to find any reasons to like morgana her personality puts me off. But I’m going to be friendly just to stay on her good side.

@jeantown

Lord Merlin is a drunkard, is he not? In Book 1, Lancelot “borrowed” Merlin’s keys while he was drunk. In Book 2, he was seen refilling his wine glass. Also, the MC can tell Tilda that Merlin can vouch the wine quality.

Edit:

Why is Merlin’s brain different? Is that normal human with fae blood behavior?

Because ‘weird’ is better than ‘normal’.

Also, this:

And I disagree with all of the above lists. Arthur would be near (or AT) the top, for me. He’s easily my favorite character in this game.

But Arthur’s too… passive
As in, Lance will confront/ interact with you about his feelings, Morgana does whatever she does to become very likeable, but Arthur… is quite childish and passive. Great skills for a friend, not much so for a King, Husband or Lover.

Arthur SHOULD be closer to the top, but he keeps getting outshone by the usefulness of the Fae Pet (Giant dog chasing sheep. Is it now a german shepard?), the fact I like Merlin’s weirdness (I wish our character could act like Merlin sometimes XD), the fact Lance is too good of a fighter, and Morgana is too useful. Arthur and his love-ableness just can’t compete!

Arthur’s not passive. He’ll gladly ride into battle to curbstomp people who threaten his country. He does so quite often, in fact.

He just tries to avoid conflict with Guen, because he actually cares about her and her feelings (even if she’s a total jerk to him). That feeling of genuine affection appeals to me. Not like Lance’s selfish ‘omg, I lust after you and I’m gonna do what I want no matter what you think’.

(To clarify, I don’t hate Lance. But I like Arthur better.)

Reactive, maybe, but reactive is not the same as passive.

Isn’t the only reason lance lusts after guen because there is probably a spell on him (I say this because of the touchy burny thing)

Aha! The lust spell. Well I hope (need to believe for my peace of mind) that Lance would still love Guen even after the spell wears off/ is ended or something.

Possibly. We don’t know (yet; it will be explained at the end of Part II). But Guen feels the ‘touchy burny’ thing, too, and she doesn’t (necessarily) lust after Lance. It’s possible the spell affects him differently, but we’ll have to wait and see on that.

@jeantown And so 2 more Guens were born! Not one, but TWO…and a possible idea for my own future COG. It’s seriously amazing the kind of creativity I’m capable of when I’m supposed to be studying for my driver’s test. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I don’t have time to do a full Guencap on either at the moment, but I did want to say that I created my first asexual Guen, and it was a very interesting experience.

Up until now, I’ve never actually gotten annoyed with Arthur before (me the player; he drives plenty of my Guens insane :wink: ). But him pressuring asexual Guen to have sex (especially after only 6 days)…kind of got on my nerves. :flushed:

Anyway, I just wanted to say it was really interesting to see a different (and far less likeable) side to Arthur than I normally do. :smile:

In fairness to Arthur, you can guess why. But I’m not going to say it’s pleasant to hear, especially since Arthur is better at “painfully earnest” than “charmingly coaxing”.

Looking forward to when you do have time for a Guencap. For all my complaints about irrational prejudiced Guens, one of the most interesting things here is that different Guens do play differently - megakudos to Jean for making it possible to do so many different people with so few obvious stats.

Can I just say as an asexual what Arthur says when “pressuring” you is totally hilariously normal.
It may be one of my favorite things about this game because of the realism of that moment.
I have had that conversation. Multiple times. With multiple people. I laugh every time.
Don’t feel weird about it. It’s not weird. It’s truth.
I spent my entire Freshman year at college bemusedly pissed at my friends because they kept plotting ways to “fix” me/making bets that they could be the one to “fix” me.
I can’t even tell you how many times I screamed, “DAMNIT. I’M NOT BROKE!”
So yeah… Just be happy he respects it at all. XD.

A FAQ with sections by character/topic was what I had in mind! I would be happy to volunteer to go through the thread so far and make one for you if you’d be interested in having one! (:

You’d probably still get the same questions over and over again though, Hahahah, but I’m sure there’s cool questioned answered I’ve missed but reading the whole thread!
