Heavens, my main character is insufferable. He would drive me nuts if I knew him for real. All that snark, the weird and frequent mood swings… I love him for it. This is so much fun. Together we rock being exasperating.

Hahaha! He would quickly become the target for my MC’s jokes. He loves to tease such people

Can someone tell me what happens if when you’re about to kiss Hadrian (or Alessa, I suppose?) you choose the “I can’t do this, there’s someone else”. Because I was tempted to choose that with Hadrian/Alain bc I really can’t choose right now and neither can my MC 
but I don’t know if that choices means you end any kind of romance with Hadrian.
Basically I want to extend the LT until Book 2 at least 
I REALLY CANT CHOOSE YET

Our reaction time on this one is actually insane. Turning, drawing, and parrying a blade from a standing position, with the only indication we’re under attack being Beka’s face and heavy footsteps.
It’s been a minute since I’ve read the scene, but I’m almost certain you can down two guards, kill a third attacking Alessa, and barrel one into the ground as you leave.
I don’t think there is a “Best weapon”, but you get an extra kill with the daggers and bow. Maybe the spear, but I haven’t used that one yet.
They’re all wearing heavy armor. You are not. Also they have numbers. It seems like the author took a more realistic approach to combat. You won’t be felling armies with a stroke of the blade anytime soon.
It ends the relationship… All I wanted to do was look at the stars.

Okay then… I won’t choose the kiss but continue the romance normally and see what happens in Book 2. I’m scared

Hmm! Now that you mention it, @Tarlonniel , they would probably be… well. Compatible.

I had to play it twice in a very short timespan; one of the reasons was that I couldn’t choose between exactly those types of characters! I just had to try both.

You’re absolutely right. Thank you! You should definetly be nominated for “best answer 2022”!
My combat stat is just 43%, that must’ve been the reason obviously.

It does end the relationship, but hey, at least you get an extra scene with Lance?
No, but in all seriousness, I have to put those kinds of breaking points in the romances. Both for the reader’s sake — what if you realize you just don’t want to romance that character anymore? — and my own sanity with code.
There’ll be some other instances like this one, where choosing to go away from a love interest that very clearly wants/needs you will have the relationship end. I know it’s not “realistic”, in the real world we wouldn’t break up because you wanted to see the stars or needed a moment alone, of course. But this is a game and there are limitations to the number of variations I can write.
Yes, there absolutely won’t be a scene where it’s you alone against an army and somehow win unscathed. Being outnumbered, even when it’s “just” two to one is incredibly disadvantageous. If your adversaries know the bare basics of combat, you are, simply put, in trouble.
In a fight to the death, there aren’t rules. They will swarm you. The MC can fight against multiple adversaries throughout the game (and you’ll be able to fight more), but they aren’t just cannon fodder. The guards are trained in combat and wear heavy armor, you won’t just defeat one with a flick of your wrist.
It’s a high contrast with those poor bandits at the beginning, where you can defeat multiple fairly easily. Except Will, of course because he actually knows what he’s doing.
The MC, even with low Combat stat, is canonically a good fighter. But I really didn’t want to make the combat movie-like. Even when you win, you’ll struggle. Because that’s what fighting anyone older than a toddler feels like.
And @Redey3 I appreciate all opinions, but it seems this topic is starting to get personal. @MoSalahscores was simply trying to help, there’s no need for sarcasm.

As for myself, the looking at the stars-scene was so bittersweet. It was lovely (and again, bittersweet) meeting Lance again, him being the one that my main character was thinking about, but… apparently I had accidentally led Alessa on before it; I felt so bad looking at the stats noticing that I hurt the poor woman! Said main character was just too oblivious.

Just played through this first time, and Maker - I feel like this lived up to a hype I’ve witnessed here. I only found out about the game after it had been published, so I was admittedly a little hesitant, uncertain whether it would be as good as everyone claimed it to be, worth the full price.
They were so, so right.
I loved the characters, with a special hearteyes for my beloved Hadrian. The story genuinely kept me on the edge, and left me wanting more. Finally, the length. While reading, it felt long, but never once did I feel bored or that it was too long. I know there were plenty of choices which did not matter per se, but I felt like my character/world got fleshed out more and more by them and of course, by plentyful possibilities of exploration.
So… @Anathema. Thank you, thank you and once again, thank you for this wonderful game

While everybody else is gushing over Goliath, I know I cant be the only one that would love to romance Captain Cynthia. I guess I just have a thing for unhinged and crazy romance options. Jun and Junko from Soh really awakened something in me lol. It was a shame that Neia was only for a female mc as she has that same type of energy. Cynthia however, seems like she has an even bigger dark side than Neia. And, as much as I loved Alessa, I really cant get over how attractive the Captain is. Strong dominant women are my personal weakness.

You can meet him at the harbor if you play around before talking to the harbor master.
Yesssss… I absolutely love Junko! Also, Cynthia and her guard 100% seemed like they were going to kill Beka. Murdering me is a fine. Murdering my light-fingered baby is not!
