@Feather Your Guenever’s room look very similar to what i imagined while playing game 
especially the bed.
Those are very nice and veery detailed. And maybe its jus me but the trees on the unicorn one look a bit like in 3D 
(as in it looks like they are on different layers on image).
How long it took you to draw them?
I would like to be able to draw, but i’m terrible at it so it would require too much time for me to be any good. I never can get the perspective quite right.

Oh, it will definitely happen in-game; I’m not going to waste that potential drama. 
I just suspect that I probably won’t be able to make it happen in the way that I wish I could.
I have actually thought about that. While I don’t have a specific plan at the moment, I’d say that it’s very likely.
That’s setting the bar rather low. 
Wait and see… 
He may surprise you.
What?! But… everything is Star Wars. 
While I’d prefer that extended discussions (or rants) about Star Wars, or any other IP, find their own threads, an occasional brief reference that’s made with relevance to Guenevere doesn’t seem inappropriate. I think it’s fair, in talking about how Guen or Morgana might develop as a villain, to make comparisons to other villains, including those in Star Wars… or are we not allowed to refer to any other IPs at all, ever?
Storytelling doesn’t happen in a vacuum; any good story is a network of other stories. Guenevere would not exist if it weren’t for Star Wars, and Dragon Age, and any number of other stories that inspired me to write.
@Feather 
Thank you so much for sharing your sketches; they’re beautiful! I’ve been wondering for a long time if I should include a unicorn in the enchanted forest or not, and if so, what role it might play…

@jeantown I’d love to see a unicorn. 
Not because I’m still mad about Sharan Newman’s Guinevere trilogy or anything… no wait I am still mad. for real though losing her cool unicorn buddy just bc she lost her virginity ahdsfdg so stupid
That’s just it… I’m not sure what to do with a unicorn, because I would want to honor traditions about unicorns, as well as people’s expectations of them (not that I’m not willing to subvert said expectations), but I don’t want to do it in a way that implies that virginity is better than any other state.
I did have the thought of a unicorn interacting only with ace!Guen, whether she’s had sex or not. But I suspect many people wouldn’t like that. Maybe safer to leave it out altogether. There are tons of other things one can do and find in an enchanted forest.
Why not have it interact with her if Guen is ‘pure of heart’ (however you wan to interpret that?) Most children’s stuff involving unicorns say that bc they can’t say virginity.
And the whole ‘only if you’re a virgin’ thing is silly anyway. (and wasn’t the whole ‘only virgins can see unicorns’ originally a joke about how women are promiscuous so therefore a virgin is as rare as a unicorn, aka nonexistent?)
Like, a Guen who has never lied or killed someone can see it. Or a Guen that practices Light Magic.
Edit: Or do the Harry Potter route and have it only like women.

Or you could make it into a just-so story: “How the unicorn became sex-positive.”

In this case the [quote=“jeantown, post:7098, topic:1996”]
with relevance to Guenevere
[/quote]
bit seemed to be missing. If people actually explain how the part of any movie or franchise connects to some part of Guenevere then it’s fine. On the other hand, discussions like that tend to spiral out of control rather quickly, regardless of the thread they are on

Theres always symbolism when it comes to unicorns but unicorns are just animals really.
Like it’s going to be weird if say you can only see horses when you’re a girl. which is stupid because horses are a creature.
If there are dragons, there are unicorns and faeries and all. The Myth bundle.
The unicorn doesn’t really have to do anything other than the fact that say Guen and Authur saw a good ‘sign from the heavens’ that it’s a good day. Or perhaps they can save the poor beast from being sold on the market / harvested for horns etc.
@Ponku
Thanks! glad you like them 
I usually don’t keep track of time when sketching XD

I know that this is not Star Wars. But George created Star Wars due to mixed mythologies. Yes, we focus on this threat.
In regard to unicorn perhaps not focus on purity of virginity but on purity of heart ? as in only good guen could interact with unicorn the gueen than is not manipulative evil. that way could work. Replace purity with Innocence and you could have this the way you want.

Purity doesn’t depend of morality. There is pure evil. Pure just mean without other stuff which damage that substance. A pure evil person without morality doubt could see the crearture even change its nature, I am so tired of the unicorn legend of the white pure animal… Why not an evil black one who only appear to evil people …

In English, “purity” is often used in the same sense as the word “innocence,” even though that’s not exactly what it means in the dictionary. But I see your point. And an evil unicorn that only likes evil people would be pretty cool…
I think as a whole it would be hard to input alignment as a reasoning for whether or not something would happen, because in most cases, people have rationale for why or why not they do specific things.
Morality is a spectrum, but can only be truly defined by the holder.
One action can be performed by two people, yet have completely different meanings due to the reasoning behind it, and intentions. A Guen may be seen as ‘evil’ to some folk simply because she isn’t kind and generous, and is perhaps mean to Arthur, but if those are our only defining ‘mean’ actions, then what?
Is a person defined as mean by circumstance?
We don’t and won’t have the option for Guen to haplessly off people that have absolutely NO IMPACT on the story, and any impact that one DOES have means that Guen is able to have an opinion, therefore validating to HERSELF whether her actions are ‘evil’ or ‘good’.
Also, rarely do people believe what they are doing, intentionally, with the intention of ‘no better future’ is ‘evil’. They rationalize- but they do believe, to a degree, that they have a point.
Purity in ‘evil’ would then have to be a recognized course of actions- predetermined thought patterns, predetermined intended consequences. No-one thinks themselves ‘evil’. People think themselves ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.
Moralasticity would be nearly impossible to track, short of @jeantown asking after every single choice ‘Does Guen believe this is a GOOD/EVIL’ choice’ - and that’s ignoring all the whiplash of people going ‘Yes, BUT’.
…my two cents, haha. ^^;

That is an excellent point. I’m always complaining about games that involve an inflexible morality spectrum; they rarely give you in-between choices (such as the Mass Effect series) and you rarely get a chance to explain yourself (such as Jade Empire. Bioware is bad at this, aren’t they?)
That said, Guen has a chance to state at the end of book one (and presumably every other book) what her goal as queen is. Guens who choose “acquire more power” and the like could classify as “darker” than Guens who choose “be a responsible queen” or something similar.

So is the assumption there that ambition is a consequence of an ‘evil’ mindset?
Isn’t that a little close minded- you can only be a good person if you give all of yourself all the time, hurt yourself, and become a martyr?
Being responsible could easily be a lot easier if you had more power- as you can control more.
Once again, everything can be explained any which way, and none are incorrect or more correct than another, because mind-sets apply per individual.
Technically, no moral stand-point in any game should be judged as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, but frequently are. This game simply makes it harder because it is written in such a way that the opinion and perspective of the player/character is constantly driven throughout the entire story, in such a way that it is impossible to not connect with what the character believes to some degree- because anyone can argue, and the only thing that could dissuade would be lack of perspective- which is something we rarely, if ever can control.
Bioware note- Jade Empire had such potential there. The way the guy in the tutorial explained morals made me so happy.
Then actual application was overtly-nice-person vs douche.
…yep.
