If Cass had abandoned her plans and instead become consumed with romance, it wouldn't be Cass anymore. It's the most banal thing imaginable. She was living the idea and then all of a sudden fall in love and give up. Its boring shit. Well, in my opinion.
Right, but the coup plot ends up in the exact same place regardless.
The affinity is generally just a check here and there for how a scene progresses, and sometimes for whether a scene is available. it doesn't really branch the plot - just give different ways to resolve some issues and a number of variant scenes, but they don't branch.
Uh say what now? Cass, Akar and Ludwig can all be alive or dead - that's not the same place. And that's just the most glaring difference between some of the coup plots.
It's not even a problem specific to games with branching narratives. There are plenty of games that don't even have specific routes that still end up in stuck being development seemingly indefinitely due to being/getting over-ambitious with the scope. It's a really important thing to manage properly in any project to be able to be able to deliver a completed product.
While it doesn't really split things off into new branches, affinity completely changes at least the starting scene (and which girl it's with) in the variation where either Cass didn't tell you about or didn't go along with the coup but didn't kill her. For you, there was a scene with Alaina since you were a mage but there's one with Lia for Bookworm and Elin for Warrior. I find the branching really interesting (if a tad much sometimes) but I'm not sure if I'm such a fan of the way affinity is implemented. It's often just used to restrict content to specific affinities throughout the game rather than to give different options/variations. It may be okay for some dialogue, the way situations are handled, and maybe side-character interactions but when it affects main story knowledge and LI scenes it can be frustrating.
She doesn't kill the king either, despite hating him. Apparently regicide is a bit risky and why do it when you have a better alternative at hand. As for the MC she needs him, why would she kill him, it wouldn't help her at all.
i dont believe her to be this cruel. i mean, she does bring lia to the MCs cell to trie and force him to cooperate by implying she will hurt lia. but in the end, if you refuse, all she does is say she will come back in another month to try again. never really harming lia. i firmly believe she still has a good chunk of simpathy left inside her for the only family she has left in this world...
She doesn't have the time cause he escaped before, neither is she close with Lia or Elin and she seems to activly dislike the queen.
Fr, harem route with Cass under control is the end goal for meYes maybe we can fix her at the end
there were elf queen content??? where? i didnt find any. it felt like all the contents were for cass. and there werent any content with elf queen
If you didn't see any, that's because you probably only played the Cass route, that's why.
)
i choose the warrior path. did u choose the bookworm or sorcerer path?If you didn't see any, that's because you probably only played the Cass route, that's why.
The update was split into 2 big branches;
1) Join the coup; aka "Green Crown route"
which is branched out into smaller sub branches into whether MC keep Cass as his regent or gets her killed and have her replaced with someone else, there's variations I haven't tried kill Cass and replace her route, so that could be different color crown route )
or there's
2) Remain loyal to the crown - reject Cass when she asks you to join her coup; aka "White Crown route"
this I'd say is the route for Elin, Queen mother and Lia.
Out of them three, Elin and Queen mother have lewd content (for Elin, there's the handjob. with Queen mother there's is an option to fuck her, but not recommended given it's pretty much negative consequnce afterwards
I chose the sorcerer path iirc.
