Anyone know what is this report supposed to be about? MC did not, to my knowledge, take the guards with him, raid the merchants and destroy the poison wine, did he? He seemed buddy-buddy with the capital guards, he would be listened to and his help would be appreciated.

The emperor outright told MC he would order him to do what his companions expect MC to do already. Is MC dumb or dumber? Whn is MC actually gonna start acting like the agent of the Empire he clearly knows himself to be? After his ”mercenary” self imposed title gets him killed?

We all like to game this adventurous AVN and are interested in having the CODEX evolve with the knowledge and times:
Q:
is Eirlys a main character or a side character? I didn't see her in the codex!
A from Talothral:
Main, she will be added in 0.7.0. Her large image was missing thus she wouldn't appear in the codex.

We know from the game that MC is a mage, is under the command of his two head mages and is even expected to live and be part of the Academy of mages - yet the codex tells us he is a mercenary.
wtf?
The codex even lists the horse merchant as a merchant and a mage - so why is MC just a mercenary?
wtf?
The Codex has description for the occupation of people listed, so how come there are some who choose to follow MC right after this update, but they are not mercenaries as occupation, even tho MC is their leader, they are in his group, they identify as his group and MC is a mercenary ??????????
what gives?

The report is, I believe, about the mission to meet the witch and then deal with the necromancer. We need to give a report on everything that happened. Has nothing to do with merchants or raids or guards etc.

MC doesn't want to be an agent. The choices very much seem to be Agent or immediate death. It's similar to why MC continues to work with the Master Mages, need them to keep him alive only instead of staving off an execution it's dealing with his damaged soul. MC explicitly says as much to him companions.

The reason MC is listed as a Merc and not a mage is we're fall less likely to forget the Class of the character we are playing and those of our companions than those of side characters. We know MC is a mage, it's in the title of the game. I will say though, it'd be better and clearer, if all the main characters class was listed beside their merc status. We haven't done much merc stuff yet since meeting most of the new companions so it's kinda fair for them to not be listed as mercs yet. But when if they do, i'd want all characters to have Merc (Class) or something similar. MC, Shani, and Malgrin are all mercs but with greatly different roles and classes.

At important thing is that Shani is correctly listed as lover rather than single

Ugh, you know, that's one thing I can't stand in how some Devs, and writers in general, decide to implement "realism". We can "magically" be elevated to nobility by marrying, and that's fine we're a noble now with everything that comes with it, except the power to elevate others through marriage, like what the fuck is that about? But anyway, that's neither here nor there, so long as all wives and "concubines" are treated the same I'll be happy.

I talked about this in discord the other day. For example, in ancient China the Emperor had one Empress, and several concubines. The Empress was the only one who had "legal status" and was mother of the heir. The status was for life (hers). Now that means actually very little as is as "accidents" happen. So when talking about in historical context, that would be correct, the concubines weren't equal in power and status. However, they still were respected.

You need to tell Lian about the merchant earlier in the game so she lives

Well the walk through...if using it, will recommend not telling her about the Royal wine supplier that was murdered (A +1 Imperial favor not telling).

But it's actually it's better if the player mentions it to Lian, as it will open up sex with her and maybe others...as well the Emperor will thank the MC.

Spoiler: Results of mentioning it Lian.

Tal confirmed that it was an error in the WT.

Medieval and later Europe had plenty of this too.

yea kings weren't that loyal to their wives and princes weren't any better.

There is a difference, children of a mistress had no right to inherit, but the children of a concubine could.
As an example: Cixi was the concubine of the Xianfeng emperor and their son inherited the throne, one the other side
none of Charles II's children with his mistresses could inherit the throne.

Couldn't help notice that the MC tends to trample all over the tatami mats in his boots. Not only would that be incredibly rude (and forbidden), but he would absolutely ruin them.

 

[lhonasm]

Sorry if it is was already mentioned found, couple things, 1st when MC introduces to Voice of (Forgot her name) and when he enters room where Lian is, its simply MC name as text, Not the one you setup. And found typo in dialogue with Voice of... one random "yo" instead of "to". Using mod so not sure wich side made mistake... I know its small things, but still decided to mention it.

So while playing through the game with URM installed I noticed quite a few prompts for "told truth about vampires" or something to that effect, yet I never had the chance to do that to the best of my recollection. So what's that all about? Is it something that isn't implemented yet or did I actually miss it along the way?

I seem to remember when you talk to the inquisitor, you have a chance to "tell truth about the vampires" in the latest update.

Did dev forget that we are supposed to have the ability to rename our mc?

 

[Talothral]

Talothral great update as always. One question though, will this game have paths where you have to choose between LIs, like choosing between the gorgons and Daemon Hunters in Sorcerer?

Honestly? No idea yet, at least not to that degree.

Did dev forget that we are supposed to have the ability to rename our mc?

It's an issue with the mod. It's been fixed although that won't come until 0.7.0 mod is out, and will be a non-issue 0.8.0 onwards. Quick fix for the mod attached.

I'm really enjoying this magic harem title, and liking that this doesn't have any of the three letter content...or anything related to it (sharing, swinging, etc).

Though, I'm finding it odd...if we are playing as the male mage with a familiar...but we only get Growl from the cat, instead of having a translation in brackets. I would assume MC (the player) would understand what the cat is saying?

Also, does the cat have any magic abilities...considering it a magic created creature?

MC and Nisha have telepathic communication between them. And MC gains abilities from Nisha, like being able to see in the dark, at least those have been revealed so far in the story.

And her sense of smell iirc.

 

[e6mill]

And her sense of smell iirc.

Almost. MC knows what she can smell but "Nisha smells it, and I do too...." sounds like they're distinct.

 

[LorgarAurelian]

You might be right, I took it to mean that if Nisha smells something so do Tomas, not just knowing what she smells, but also smelling it.
I might be completley wrong, but thats how I interperd it.
