No, the best course of action would be to make them kill or cripple me so as to deny them the income. If you can't win the least you can do is make the other side not win either.
In my defense, I realised as soon as I heard the word "slave", but I accepted it as a conceit of the game. I'd also take this opportunity to say that despite my occasional disagreement with how your story unfolds, I enjoy your game a great deal, and am very much in favour of more romantic events, especially repeatable ones. Things that would help them feel more like relationships than simple fuck-buddies.
Which leads to the obvious question of how much elvish ancestry does a person need for their blood to still function in this manner? Which is especially worth considering given how many people in Syl'anar have elvish ancestry.
I figured that, given how quickly she was introduced after "hey, this machine needs parts of a living thing, harvested without their consent." Kali missed the obvious and horrifying conclusion, and then along came a little Jiminy Cricket for her.
It's the latter. When you said "half elves live half as long as their elven parent", my understanding was that would apply to all half-elves, not just half-common elves; I don't think of the term "half-elf" as excluding "half-dark elves." Mea culpa.
well...shit, i don't have that version...i thought it was just some bugfixes so i didn't download it, my version i just went straight to yelling...and now i saved over it...i might have to replay the whole game again
You and me both. Saw the Changelog said bug fixes, wasn't bugging, so didn't bother downloading it.....I'll have to check my saves and see if I still have one from before that. If not, I guess it will be a full play-through with the new release.
If the victim wants to survive, their best bet is to let it happen if they have any better chance of surviving that way and especially in this particular situation, where she has friends on the outside, including human friendsthat could get more done diplomatically than any elf could in such a place. I'm not looking at this from the perspective of the slavers, I'm taking this from the VERY specific perspective of Maria herself and including unknown elements. She isn't alone in this and we have no clue what she would have done presented the option of coming quietly. It's not better to just die in her situation because there is a ray of hope that could lead to a way out, which it did. It would be if and only if there was no way to recover from the situation, to get out of it back to the free world and restore their old life as best they can, but she had that opportunity because she had the MC, Ellen, and everyone else at the hotel doing whatever they could to get her back, mostly Ellen, who was the one who found her on the market and bought her back into their custody.
It doesn't just dull other things, it can outright blind a person if it is strong enough at any given moment and a blind rage can be deadly, mostly for the other people involved, but possibly for the angry one as well.
I get the VERY strong feeling that the amount of elven ancestry needed for use as fuel is exactly the same as the amount needed for enslavement. The law is only effective on a person with a certain amount of elven DNA, but why would they specify something that selective if the whole point is to enslave elves? The could just as easily do it with an all-encompassing slavery law that makes all elves eligible for enslavement, so it makes no sense to make something as specific and far less enforceable as this law unless it served a greater purpose, such as harvesting them. Maybe only a select amount or higher will work.
I didn't see any reason, either, so I did not, but I intended to yell at Cornwall anyway, so I'm not sure I would do anything differently given the option.
As someone that has had (and still occasionally has) anger issues irl, I can 100% confirm this statement.
I have plans on doing more than yelling (if the story lets me anyway) but as I mentioned above, I don't think we are in a secure enough position to openly make him an enemy yet.
Not quite yet, we need a financially powerful ally that could fund our efforts and we should gain the support of some of the town, a significant portion, but not necessarily a majority, so that our own assets are protected against seizure. The last thing Cornwall wants is the opposition of the town because then he loses his power.
Right? Go up against some dudes instead of robots. Would have felt less like a bitch leaving the hospital, hell even share a (minor) experience with Maria by being in jail.
Even then, it's not that simple. You can only tell if they have elvish DNA in them by the color of their eyes, but not if they're a half elf. That is determined by the ear shape. Ashley has purple eyes, but she's not a half elf (which is more obvious with her skin tone) same with Ellen
But why would they want to survive? That's my point. The victim in this scenario is already dead. Their life is completely and utterly ruined. Everything and everyone they love is taken away. Their very identity is erased as the victim is turned into a piece of meat to be sold. There is absolutely no reason for the victim to want and live past that point. Death is preferable as it at least mitigates your loss by making sure they loose as well.
Not really or do you have searched the thread before?
I can't answer about the "how" part as I doon't have insight in the code, but they are compatible. Yet I can't and I would believe the others can't either guarantee that the saves are to 100% compatible without any bugs. Yet from my personnel experience with this game I haven't had an issue (yet - not counting pre versions, betas or alphas).
For Windows you don't need to. The saves are in two folders, your local game folder and in the %appdata%. So you need only to start a new game and load a save. For Android, Linux or Mac I can't say.
Thank you.
So that they can continue to live once they find a way out. The captive dying isn't a total loss for the slavers, it's only a financial loss, but it does succeed in bringing -1 to the elf population, which is just as good in the big picture to them because that's one less 'inferior being' to keep track of and take care of. There is nothing to gain by dying in captivity and everything to lose, but it is very much the reverse by trying to survive until either being rescued or finding your own way out. Again, this is being taken from Maria's perspective and she does have friends who would do anything and everything to get her back. She WOULD have been rescued even if things didn't go down as easily as they did through buying her off the market the second she was on sale. Especially with someone as radical as Nia around, she probably would haave blasted her way in if all else failed. You might ask what Maria has to lose in this case and the answer is everything. She loses her life, her friends, people who have essentially become her family. She has a ton of reasons to keep surviving outside the walls of wherever she was held captive and no reason to believe she would never get out again.
What way out? You do realize that the vast majority of individuals don't have the magical plot armor that is being friendly to the games main character? They ain't getting out. Their life is over. If getting out of slavery was even remotely common than the whole system wouldn't work to begin with.
