I see what you’re saying, but when he was calling Ralf a pervert, less than a man, etc. back in chapter 3 or 4, all I could think was that every word also applied to Britt. People say all kinds of pretty things when they want to seem like good people, but what people say when they are angry tells you what they really think and who they really are when they can’t maintain the social mask.
What you need to understand is the first people who had to deal with the consequences of Ralf's action are the Haugen, and it was Erland, Ralf's best friend, who pointed it out in chapter 1. Ralf's invention made their life easier, but it required more power and they had to cut down more trees, and who in charge of trees? Anders. Who had to deal with he Jotun? The Berserkr. Who is the leader of the Berserkr? Anders. He lost more men because of Ralf, and his conservative beliefs made him put the blame on old magic pitting the blame on Ralf even more, especially when Ralf isn't a sociable person and his smarter than thou attitude doesn't help anyone. It's Ralf whole characterization, which is why, along the story, as Ralf opens himself up and he began rectifying his attitude thanks to Britt influence, Anders actually warming up to him in later chapters.
Well, not really. There's a big difference between Ralf and Britty. Ralf chooses to indulge in his passion for old world knowledge. In the Pious's perspective, it is a selfish indulgence because old world ways did cause Ragnarok. He likes being an old world boy.
That is true. Anders's prejudice against old world ways and being ergi are indeed quite entangled, but I guess it's also part of his character arc. In C4 where paths gets introduced, his two paths are actually Introspection and Compassion, which in both ways break down this prejudice. In C5, he even asks Ralf for help to burn down the trees to set up ambush against Jotnar, an act which they say is sacrilege. In C6 and C7, his whole belief system is shaken down when he discovers that three of his brothers became rebels, and still he tries to show compassion for them. All I'm saying is he does eventually become the nicest guy among the Captains, even if he was prejudiced in a complex way.
This is a really good point. The pious group's resentment against the progressives were indeed justifiable since the Ulfhednars (which were mostly pious) are the ones losing their lives for the progressive's goals, which the pious sooner understand is indeed their only way to survive.
also, and I need to emphasize this, the first thing Anders says to Britt when he appears in a volva regalia was a warrior doesn't care about what other think, implying that he believes that you can be a volva and a Ulfhednars, something that is not very "conservatives". And if you romance him, he actually believed Britt was strong enough to handle seidr,and that his aversion towards old world magic and seidr only when the people who handles it easily corruptible, which Britt, Anders believes, isn't.
This game literally gives every single character a care in their characterization. I still have favorites, but it's purely preferential
Honestly... I get it. Jostein is my LI too in my main playthrough. That guy is just sex on a stick.
I would put Erland in this category too. His storyline about healing his inner child and overcoming his abandonment issues is just so beautiful to me. The guy is really yearning for a home.
Pure Ralf route in chapter 5. If you have polyralf, the scene will be with henry, but on pure route, britt and ralf can choose their position. I was on ralfpoly route and just rewind the save from the moment you choose whether or not you want ralf to be poly in ralf final scene in chapter 5 to get it.
You did a great job. However, I agree that it would be better to use a different file sharing site. The download speed of this one leaves much to be desired, and the process itself is sometimes crashing. For small files it is not critical, but even a few hundred megabytes may not be downloaded after an hour. Maybe the simple and trusted ones like Mega or Google Drive would be better?Hey guys, Just back here to share my link to the compressed version of the game until chapter 7!!
I extracted all the chapters already, so there's no need to go through that hassle yourself.

I understand what you mean! Since I'm not a mod or anything... And I don't have the fastest internet speed to upload to multiple links... I leave all the trusted sites to them cos I already tried uploading my links to those sites, only to get banned immediately. I don't have multiple accounts to risk, that's why! This site is the only one that has not banned me yet, knock on wood, so I'm able to upload them for safe keeping without it getting taken down 2 seconds later. And then share it with you all~
I honestly agree with this. As for the soppy guys, only thing that can save them is their promised alternative endings. I can see Kirk and Ralf turning into radical when it comes to their viewpoints which honestly is adding some spice to their otherwise boring story; though, I do wish they had far better romantic scenes. Ralf's solo route >>> poly route with Henrik. He's such an annoying jealous kid if you pursue the latter route. I'm still not sure about Henrik. He seems to be a very confused personality to me. He wants power at one moment and then the next moment, he doesn't. I don't even know what would be his alternate ending because I can't even think of a normal ending for him.
Yeah, that’s why I don’t go poly with Ralf. My Britt wants Ralf all to himself. Ralf just strikes me as a guy whose external existence in no way compares to the internal agony of the loneliness he feels. He just wants to be loved for himself. Henrik will not give him that, Britt can in a solo route. Apparently, other play throughs though, I’m limited on choices. I’m not into poly routes very much. So Kirk, Tyr and Ralf are pretty much it. Borge is into Elin, Anders just wants his cock sucked whenever he needs it and doesn’t want a guy. Jostein has Filippa, while Jorgen is a man-whore for multiple women. Erland has his woman and Odjer and apparently Henrik has Svend too. So I’ll stick to Ralf and Ralf only.
Henrik Romance is actually very well written. He's a guy in his, what 30s or 40s, and by that time, he has seen people come and go and not only that, his lover, Britt's mom, is also gone and he couldn't do anything about it. I really love to read how Henrik's personality turn from being an apathetic politician to wanting to protect the only thing he had left, Britt. He's honestly a sweet broken old man. He never wanted power, what he wanted was change. I just wish his romance would be more... exciting. same thing with Ralf and Kirk. Like both of them had such a strong start at the beginning, but they got kinda dull from chapter 5.
In what world is 30/40 (he's twice the age of Britt who is...16? So 32 at most. 36 if Britt is 18, I can't remember) considered "sweet broken old man" lol.
Going by conscription and the what the Dev described once, Britt is 18. As is Borge and Elin. Henrik has been conscripted for 16 years I believe. That would basically make him around 34. And remember, this is post apocalyptic Scandinavia. Life expectancy isn’t much at that point in the time. 34 would make you an old man.
In a world where the actual old men got retired early by the Jotun or the Huldra.
