Whilst I didn't intend to respond to you any further I just found this one particular statement really funny.
The fact that you can say that whilst fully meaning it is insane to me, do you not understand just how many innocents died because of her Coup? People who had nothing to do with it and were just doing their jobs? To say you don't see anything wrong with it is truly something.
In the one you side with her, literally only two guards, no innocent people died. No I don't see an issue with starting a coup if you actively think the person in charge is doing more harm than good. Coups aren't always bloody
It's necessary because it would take literally years for the MC to come into power normally while their father will continue to hurt the kingdom.
They literally didn't provide any evidence and continued to baseless claims like Cass tricked Priscilla or that Cass planned to burn the whole kingdom down. Neither of which ever happens unless the player allows it too
That's not right at all, your forgetting that Pricilla or whatever her name is was going to poison the king regardless. That wasn't Cass's plot it was just something that worked in her favor, meaning the king would be out of commission with or without the Coup.
Which is exactly my point. They were arguing that Cass tricked Priscilla into poisoning to take control then threw her away when she wasn't needed. There is literally no evidence of this. From what we're provided in came Cass's mother side wanted to start the coup and poison the king anyway since they believe he killed Cass's mother. Their argument is literally that Cass admitted to lying to a different character, so everything that comes out of the character's mouth must be a lie and she's manipulating everyone all the time.
Aight, one last message from me on the matter. I'm not going to say anything on what they said or what you said instead I'll simply lay down facts from what I've encountered in game.
We agree on this, the other poster was arguing the opposite.
This part, not only do I not agree with but is factually wrong as Cass admits to working with her uncle to start a coup. The only thing you can really argue is how much involvement Priscilla had
You're forgetting a third possible answer and that a bunch of fighting started and a fire broke out. My point is there is no evidence for who or why the fire was started. Their arguing was just that Cass intentionally started a fire just because she's crazy.
The problem is that the white path involves about a month or two of court politics and Cass battling dissenters and includes several events that don't happen on the green or red path. Cass being broken after a month long siege while is not evidence she's been like that the whole game.
If we're going with this argument than the MC is crazy too since he stabbed out her eye. Honestly their fighting just seemed like normal sibling fighting and the mistake is that they shouldn't have been given a knife. Children are naturally irrational and over emotional, I've seen kids get into physical fights over incredibly dumb stuff. Cass at least was remorseful about the whole thing. Both Cass slashing the mc and the Mc stabbing Cass were accidents.
In regards to monarchy, the problem you're missing here is the, ironically, quite common idea of entering a temporary diarchy. Indeed it's quite common for a king to give his heir an important court position to learn the fundamentals of ruling, through which they accumulate both contacts, skills and influence that often ends up making them a diarch in all but name by the time inheritance becomes a serious consideration. The quickly declining health of the king would have put MC in a position of being the de facto ruler soon enough, especially considering the difference in the speed with which he and his father are aging.
You laugh, but MC had the two things he needed to make a move in that situation: information and contacts. Everything else boils down to taking the initiative to become a player that needs to be reacted to instead of reacting, which you can only do if you know what lies ahead. That's how you turn a tactics game around.Mofos thinking that an exiled heir who spent his time drinking and whoring at random taverns is Valkorion reborn
"Lemme just take over the kingdom with all the several people that I know at the court and beat the spymaster's plan through an afternoon of action"
The crux is that Lazy Monkey choose to make him that way and many (including me) can't immerse themselves in the MC because it forces him to be reactive and depending on his love interests agencies, since he is a clean slate.
Well... in my gameplay, only two people died in my coup d'état, a soldier and the dying king.
and two innocent lives will get killed every month if you have bookworm perks. Just to maintain the vampire guy. I actually don't know the point of this shit. but here it is
but I didn't make any deal with the vampire, and I'm on the warrior's path... and I'll say it just one more time.... I AM LOYAL TO THIS FUCKING SOCIOPATHIC BITCH!!!! I SWORE TO MARRY HER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME AND IF SHE DECIDES TO DROP NAPALM ON AN ENTIRE CITY I WILL DO IT WITH PLEASURE BECAUSE HER PUSSY IS WORTH AN ENTIRE EMPIRE!!!
Here's the crash out at least you are aware that Cassandra is a savage freak unlike the other guy he is squeezing the shit out his way just to defend Cassandra has good intentions and a good girl. Can't wait Cassandra going to betray and manipulate the Mc it will be embarrassing
