Alchemical ascension. ---

I’ve done that several times, but I’ve never gotten the Throne. ---

This was a very confusing game. Good, but very confusing. 4/5 ---

Any more hints about how to claim the heavenly throne of the dragon King? Also what is the best non-ascension ending? ---

Oh, I got the questions mixed up. Okay. If you want the Throne, you need three things: 1: Either a Xiphaigne deal or having stolen the scrolls. 2: A deal with the Dragon King. 3: Failure to ascend. Then you can try to jack the Throne from the King. You might want some good stats though. ---

Quick question, as I saw this in one of the negative reviews: Is the castellan always trans? ---

If so what would be the point of choosing their gender? ---

How do you make a deal with the Dragon King? ---

There’s an appropriate option in Chapter 6. You should be compassionate and at least moderately high-ascension. ---

Thanks! For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to raise my Ascension level. ---

EVUL SJW RUINING GAMIIIIING’ /shrug people are unfortunately like that (you’d think they’d know better by now, but they usually talk to hear themself talk) Back to the game, it’s a little odd however. I mean you _can_ set the npcs’ genders at the start and there’s even a bit where it says ‘the next bit contains spoilers’ so, might be a bit out of left field to some. ---

Does it have merit though? The bad review I mean. I was about to acquire this title before seeing your mention, now I’m on a fence. I once regretted purchasing a certain CoG IF because of that very reason. ---

basically the reviewer complains about ‘evil forced political agenda’, that spiel. The game is fine, if a bit disorienting. ---

Yes, I assumed that’s the content of mentioned review. I asked if it has any merit to it. Is there a strong focus on what you (or the reviewer) call “political agenda”? EDIT: I’ve just read the spoiler tag. Does the apparently controversial element serve a purpose? ---

Is there a strong focus on what you (or the reviewer) call “political agenda”? … What you see in the demo is what you get during the entire game. If you think pursuing godhood a “political agenda” then yes. ---

It serves the purpose that the character is trans. The scene might be a bit out of left field and maybe feel shoehorned in to some, but it certainly isn’t an element that’d pull the story to a halt to talk about it for pages on end.
