Okay....
I tried marrying Isis and agreeing to the regency. The story took a seriously dark turn; and that speech out of the blue? That escalated quickly.

I did not like the writing for Cass in the latest chapter during the king's audience (after accepting the regency) where she pacifies the nobles and throws some of them in prison. Her conversation is too juvenile and informal, and reuses some words like 'legitimate' too frequently, when she should be speaking formally and imperiously. No doubt she has prepared and rehearsed for this exact event, and she would definitely want to sound as if she's in complete control.

Anyhoo, magnificent story so far, Lazy_monkey. The story and characters in this game are top tier.

Oh, and how many coronation colors are there? I've gotten white, red, and green. Can I get anything else?

Good game I guess, but I am kinda disappointment that it tries to be so vanilla despite teasing a darker tone from time to time.

Yep, that's what I was referring to. It's why I'm curious how it's going to work for those that captured her. Cass has too much stuff stacked against her after the failed attempt. While I still haven't managed to get the scenes where Queen and Lia are killed. If that also happened, MC can't hand wave it by just saying "Nah, Cass is my sister. She killed my mom and younger sister but it's okay". That's the Queen and Princess we're talking about there.

With the amount of ways you can kill Cass this update. MC definitely won't have too many problems letting her get executed, that's for sure. Especially when MC can kill her himself or betray her multiple ways.

It will be interesting to see how the story plays out for those who kill Cass. She's one of the "three snakes" that's alluded to in the very beginning, and as noted in that prophecy, if ANY of the three snakes are killed, the other 2 choke off the MC and the world ends.

Would be cool to be be able to "play" Callahan by going along with his plan to get his support, then kill him with (or without) Cass instead of being forced to eliminate her.

I think a plan like this would greatly impress Cass also and show her the MC is more conniving than she thinks he is and that he can also handle more convoluted plans and schemes.

It would also allow Cass to survive and if done right would prove to her the MC does see a place for her without having to have a bloody coup and kill a lot of people and have her become 'evil' or crazy.

I guess it depends on who the other two are, no? If you believe all three are his sisters, I don't see why Elin and Lia would be MC's downfall. If you believe Ludwig is one of them, he can die in the dungeon this update.

is there any walkthrough mod for this game?

No, there is a walk through that goes through the end of the last version (5) which we can assume any choices in 6 would be self-explanatory since most of the points that matter occur before 6 happens.

The prophecy was the three snakes, one want back to his cradle, one the throne (irf I recall) and the other held the dagger above the crown.

I would think one would be the queen, not his sisters, but it could refer to the three sisters and him having to manage them without any of them getting out of balance. In the temple vision we get to pick all three sisters and see what each does. Cass destroys the world and is covered in blood, Elin destroys the world with magic and only Lia more or less just says that death is inevitable but doesn't push it forward as a goal to achieve.

What's stopping MC from just dumping one of them, or himself, into another world, though? Well, beyond the plot of course. It's not like these prophecies are actually omnipotent and far reaching. To be frank, MC and Elin could just open a portal to another universe to avoid the calamity altogether. Whether that be dumping the others over there with them or leaving by themselves. The fate of one universe shouldn't realistically have any hold on the other.

Not to mention. What happens to MC when some of them die of old age or by something else completely beyond his control? Especially if it's Cass. She's human after all. I think that's a pretty bad fate for MC. That he has to basically babysit them and make sure they're all happily content with their existence.

Don't worry about some of that above there. That's just me rambling about some thoughts I had about the prophecy.

You really thought it would be a good idea to defend devs like ICSTOR?? LOL, I must have hit a nerve.
Click to expand...
If ICSTOR is the only dev that you know that has slower releases, and you base all slow release dev's on them, that shows how shallow and uninformed you are. Here are some games that release 1-2 times a year and each release usually provides hours, not minutes, of content.

Sexbot
Pale Carnations
Shut Up and Dance
The Inn
Desire of Fate

With that being said, do some dev's waste time? Yep, they do. Not all do, and if you base the quality of a dev on their release cycle you have a faulty presumption to begin with :)

Oh, and let's not forget.. Those who whine and complain about dev's 'milking' or some other garbage, when they aren't actually supporting that dev themselves, just show how jealous and petty they are. Spend your money where you want, don't worry where others spend theirs. For every ICSTOR there are dev's who truly do these games as a part-time thing, and still release good quality content and a lot of it.
