Oh, I thought it was asking how she expects to avoid being captured.
Not how she survives AFTER losing the coup and being captured.

Yea, after she loses and gets captured having her not die is very unreasonable.

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.

If you ignore it, the scene continues, but I don't know if it impacts or changes anything.

Eh? She didn't kill those in my run IIRC.
Mom was teleported away by the magic sister.
Elin teleported herself away.
And the sickly youngest sister was IIRC just kept in house arrest

This error is fixed by starting from an earlier save (from about version 0.4), in this update I fixed and added several variables with Sona and Cass, including this one, which caused your error and blocked part of the content.

A great update, my dear primate, though something that was a bit disappointing is that I chose Aurora as the main route, and she turned out to be useless, a complete zero. Still, I hope she has more relevance in the next update. As for the younger sister and mother dying, I doubt it, since I replayed it from the three: the knight, the mage, and the nerd, only leonard and ludwig died but the younger sister were rescued by Conrad.

They didn't in my runs either. I'm using that as an example of how impossible it would be to let Cass off, if that happened.

That said, I'm not even sure if that's really a thing in game. After 6 playthroughs now, I've yet to see the Queen or Lia die. Only people that I've seen die are Cass, Ludwig and Acker.

Well ... there are those times where MC is useless also and this game simply hand waves those away:
- the council sidelining him off the bat, the dad of the beggar girl beating him, the vampire feeding on him.

MC is not treated as a viable swordsman or a strategist or even a somewhat good guide in the castle or the surroundings, let alone being totally silver spooned and very far removed from the society he most comically was part of his whole life. a bufoon heir.
It is really telling and infuriating the way by which he stayed oblivious and detached and still managed to be chosen heir - a total one to one paralell to the sister of the king in House of the dragon being snubbed totally by her brother the king in favor of the bratty totally delusional incomprehensible perverted daughter ... The king has a viable Queen, daughters with grit and stature - all able and absolutely suited to take the reigns while he spends his last years peacefully supporting their capable actions - yet he chose to throw everything away by appointing the son with a bounty on his head of his own doing - absolutely failing at a leader and a statesman all in one fell disastrous swoop. Dumpsterfires in the royal families are the norm in today entertainment, so we got somehting as such in here to go with the times.

Instead of assuring a calm and simple life for his daughter by appointing his sister or his brother as heir and regent in his hours, days, months of need- who would marry the daughter and they would rule unchallenged - while the sister would support her niece for literally any career she wanted - as we see a number of chinldren be capable dragon riders and not feeling snubbed or useless they were not the heir - yet the house of the dragon chose the bloodiest path immaginable for drama and the huge global acclamation from people seemingly being infatuated with death and incest and total and utter incompetence of kings and queens and nobles in the show.

The king dies just like in this game leaving everything utterly in the air, sorely unresolved and a powder keg of animosity and treasonnous thoughts - the nobles making mince meat out of both Cass and MC in the royal council right under the nose of the king - pretty much how the hand would humilliate Daemon or even the king to their faces in the council in house of the dragon and not be beheaded on the spot - this is what sells in the big leagues of total drama and madness story telling.

This post below is what I'm citing, by the way. When it comes to characters supposedly being killable. I have no clue how to actually get those deaths or if it's even actually a thing.

Absolute brutal of an update. Many characters can get killed. Cass, Elin, Mother and your wife.

In my game everyone got killed except Elin because or previous choices.

Never seen such a VN with such brutality towards LI usually they are put in a pedestal and not touched by any danger.

I love it.

In either outcome, they are alive. But the little sis may be found unconscious from her illness (it depends on whether we used to call Aker a friend or a soldier)

No one is more useless than the MC in this game...well, Aurora as the wife comes second.... But really, what was the point of making MC a swordsman, intellect or magician if they play no part in the main storyline...he practically have no plan of his own... Only thing he cares about is where his dick can penetrate....I don't know what's worse... Might as well be Cass's puppet...put multiple protagonists there then make it possible for MC to die then continue the story as the sister :HideThePain: :cry: she's the only one that makes sense anyway..

This has been pretty good for the most part to play. I went mage with an Eli/Aurora route and elven sympathy, next play will be a Warrior Cass/Isis route focused on human sympathies.

What i did find disappointing was during the insurgency, MC doesn't even use magic to escape or attack the guards...what's the point of being a fairly powerful mage in this then :WaitWhat:

I was hoping for some badassery on our part.

Exactly. It's shame because this is where it really falls down. After so much play time and threats, bravado, our MC seems only good at shagging and acting the clown. Not the mighty King in making by far, more like Dandelion from the Witcher..

So if we romance Elin and then fail to make Lockhart do what we say then do we just get NTR by Lockhart in the end :LUL:
