Makes sense… will just have to see how it feels mixed in with all the other “since we last saw Guen…” stuff.
Yes it is!
Pretty sure actual medieval women did not wear heels, and while Guenevere is in no way meant to be historically accurate, I see no reason to introduce that particular anachronism. (I mean, unless people want to headcanon their Guen wearing painful shoes, in which case I don’t plan on putting anything in the game to suggest that she isn’t.)
Yeah, there aren’t really options to be downright evil in Book I; we’ll have to wait for those (and there’s a certain level of evilness that this game will just never reach).[quote=“mistylavenda, post:8657, topic:1996, full:true”]
Does Guen have any siblings? Who’s the heir of Cornwall?

No siblings, so Guen will inherit Cornwall and it will officially become part of Arthur’s kingdom (which it wasn’t prior to Guen’s marriage).
Morgana is a mistress of black magic. She surely knows about herbs that effectively lobotomize Arthur (and nothing white magic would fix)…so he doesn’t have to die, but Guen would still rule.
I just figured something like heels existed foot fashion often seems like a unique form of torture at least when it comes to very high heels.
Which again, I didn’t realize heels didn’t exist before relatively recently I just never really thought about it.
The idea of high heels isn’t exactly that new. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they were around in the Dark Ages, but they are older than you expect.
I’m pretty sure Jean has mentioned in the thread that it’s possible for Guen to get an ending where she peacefully takes the throne with any of the LIs, so this seems unnecessary. But that seems more related to the rule of Britain as a whole. I’m kind of interested to know if it’s ever possible for Guen to end up just returning to Cornwall and taking control there. Seems like an edge case, but knowing she’s the heir is interesting.
Shouldn’t she be the Queen regnant of Cornwall alone and it only absorbing into the rest of Britain when Arthur and Guen’s hypothetical child takes the throne?
Technically, when Guen’s father dies, she will inherit Cornwall and be Arthur’s vassal (as Cornwall is now subject to the Pendragon crown) in addition to being his queen-consort.
Yup, and interestingly they were men’s fashion before they were women’s, unless I’ve been misled.[quote=“Renicula, post:8666, topic:1996”]

Yes. Lobotomies not necessary (with apologies to those who would like them).
It’s definitely something I have in mind as a possible “retirement plan” for Guen if she doesn’t want, or isn’t able, to remain Queen of Britain.
So this is a departure from the main Arthurian tradition, but in the Guenverse, Cornwall isn’t a kingdom so much as an independent territory, and Guen’s father is not a king (nor is she a princess). Her family rose to prominence in Cornwall through many generations of strong leadership, and the Guenverse version of Cornwall has always vehemently claimed independence from the rest of Britain. While Leodegrance (Guen’s father) still has a strong independent streak, he’s not stupid – he’s noticed that the Vikings, the Saxons, and the Romans would all very much love to invade the whole island, and he can fend off one or two armies, but not three. Hence the alliance with Arthur.
I just had a thought. When Meligaunt created all the Guen doppelgangers, there really should’ve been one Guen from a timeline where she’s never married off absolutely freaking out.
The only thing I can think of is if she wanted to make a marionette out of him so she could entertain Morgana’s children…that’s bound to earn a few snuggle points.
Even though I love all the main characters and have good relationships with them on my Guen, I’ll still aim for an ending where her beloved Arthur dies and former best friend Morgana turns evil just for drama’s sake and to keep the tradition of Arthurian tragedy.
And suddenly I’m reminded of my old post from way back when:
Guenevere proceeds to declare that her beloved husband Arthur has lapsed into madness and is unfit to rule. She then rules in his stead a la Margaret of Anjou, with the king’s sister Morgana as her consort consultant.
All this talk of killing or deposing Arthur every other post, with almost universal adoration for Morgana. Meanwhile I’m eagerly anticipating Morgana to turn to Mordred’s side and be cut down by my Guen.
I’d like to put forth the revolutionary idea of ganking everyone who threatens me unless its a docile Lancelot. If Morgana doesn’t bring her husband and work well with me…that’s one less dark magic user in Britain.
You… are an awful person (not really). Who would want to kill Morgana?! She’s lovely and nice and caring and evil and perfect and lovable and and and perfect. Meanwhile Arthur is in the way to complete rulership of Britain. I say kill Arthur!
at least when it comes to very high heels.
especially because the wedding scene and when he helped lance put on his armor
