The Queen is most definitely way more suspect than anyone is giving her credit for. She is liable to play the same game as Cass, just on a much longer time span and thus muss less fast and loose.

What's the deal with waiting out a generation of humans after all?

What gets me is that she's not shocked or afraid to see you kill Cass, she's just surprised by your speech.
Elin meanwhile is terrified to see you ascend to rule drenched in the blood of your sister.

Cass was the obvious threat in this story, now we'll see how players with immutable personal power and much longer lifespans to plan and acquire resources have played the game. Vampires that have the skills and time to manipulate people for far longer and much more subtly, mages with lifespans far exceeding a humans...

What they are capable of, now that Cass' temper tantrum has opened the field for change, might be far scarier than any coup.

Also while I can understand the lack of elf sex slave screen time given the plot, there's still no putting Arcadia in a closet for her ass to be useful. What a damn shame.

I don't think people aren't suspicious of Queen. Her and Alaina are definitely sus. There's just not enough info to be hard accusing her of being this nefarious person that's the cause of every bad thing. As it currently stands in the game, Queen hasn't done anything big enough to warrant such distrust. It comes off as artificial and needlessly paranoid because another character went full psycho this update.

Am I weak for choosing Aurora? the other one seems to be very Cass-like and I don't want two like them around me xD

About the Queen, yeah I agree that she isn't that good, but she isn't evil either! if she did some bad things I feel there was a good reason, unlike Cass that pretend to care about the MC but her actions doesn't reflect that, instead of blaming the queen huge boobs, I think the reason some of us are "as blind as the king" it's the patch, think about it, if she were a stepmother instead, then of course she would be evil, just for the cliche xD but since she's blood related, there are less chances that she would act against her son.

True, i also don't think she would willingly put the the lifes of her childeren at risk for whatever plan of hers.
So yeah, likely long game planing to better the situation of the elves.

Well, that Cass is an absolute loose cannon isn't exactly surprising...
The only thing which surprised me was how poorly the whole coup was planed and how she seems barely in control of her own plan.
The path where the MC is in prison it just looks like she did as much damage as possible out of spite, well knowing her little coup has no change of success at that point.

Beside the hate she has for her father seems mainly based on assumptions and the opinion of others.
From what i remember we don't know if the king killed her mother and she didn't even want to know the truth from him as they are with the king before he get poisoned...

Nah, Isis is also far more dangerous, cunning and capable than Cass.
Well you don't need to worry about having both of them, if you want, Isis kill's Cass for you

That would be political suicid for the MC.
She did a coup, killed many nobels and their children, nearly burned the city down, many think she was behind the poisoning of the king...death is pretty much the only viable sentence, also quite well deserved.

This is the only game where I am actually interested for sub route, especially since Cass actually cares about MC.Kudos to the dev, dialogues may be pretty bad (language barrier probably plays a huge part), but he created an actual cast of characters and not just fuck toys

Altough I read these two pretty long and viable replies to my plea, I have not enough time to reply with equivalent level of reply therefore I apologise. So for now I'll admit that maybe I'm a bit much paranoid about Queen and Elves but thats it. Future updates will bring more answers I hope. But I am still behind my words about Cass mostly and about that meaningless comparasion between Cass and Elin. Also I cut my point finger last night while carving so its pretty hard to write atm. Good days.

No, you were correct. The only difference between them is that we know what Cass is doing while we only suspect what the big-tiddy queen is doing, and we haven't seen anything of the queen's history. Cass is responsible for the attempted coup, and the queen is responsible for Cass (and it is unlikely the queen didn't know what would happen), making them both fully responsible for the coup.
Cass is young and inexperienced, the queen is not. They both have ties to terrorists, Cass with her spies and connections to the west, and the queen with her spies and connections to the elf murder squads. They both spy on MC for similar reasons, with Cass wanting to start an manpire, and the queen wanting to start an elfpire. They are both friendly towards MC, much like Isis, for their own benefit. The queen, with her connections to the elf stuff, has likely done worse things than Cass, though only due to being alive for longer. They both worked towards isolating the king.

The only difference between them is the queen is experienced and patient while Cass is emotional and not very smart.

Btw, I may have missed it, but what happened to Conrad? I decided not to suggest anyone so Aker won the place in the council somehow, then the coup happened but I didn't see him and don't remember a mention (again, could have missed it)
