Sure, but his entire purpose is that he is weak ruler who needs to be replaced by amazing MC. If you root or feel sorry for him or regret his death in any sort of way, he has missed his purpose.
that doesn't excuse him, you can be a moraly or physically ore even both weak ruler and still be a good person. just because someone's health is failing doesn't excuse a person who was a piece of shit when they weren't weak. there has been plenty of good stories, movies and tv shows that had a king or boss who was in bad health but were still good person, and good parents. just like there were kings, and bosses who were bad/feared as a ruler but was beloved by his family, just because he wasn't in the best in health or wasn't the best in ruling, doesn't mean he needs to be a shit father. some times a heir needs to have the best father to be a perfect role model.
MC is a very flawed person, so naturally he had fucked up mentors. The game is hardly a tragedy with MC being a golden boy who had the best prospects to be a king and only well intentioned guidances. He wasn't even born out of love, but by a political marriage between two races, with both of them having diffrent agencies. Almost everyone wants to use him, including his father.
it could have also .been worse though too. the king or mc could've been jake or logan paul.
i like a good one eye , one horned, purple peter eater joke my self.Missed opportunity if the game did not include the line: "One-eyed <LI's name>, meet one-eyed snake"
I don't think Regis was a weak ruler at all. He was simply dealt a shit hand, because his father was the Red Emperor, and inherited from him an Empire that was collapsing. To salvage the unity and keep the peace, he married an elf woman to show his "progressive" stance (even if he really wasn't).
I hope that we make some decisions that are not influenced by a third party. For example bringing Cass, the Queen, Alaina and others to heel.
Disagree Regis never was a weak ruler. He overthrowed Red Emeperor set up his brother and got the throne despite being second son. Could minimize damage from collapsing empire, ensured long peace, solved elf crisis and tried to forge new alliances. All his actrions as a king were pretty good. As he got infirm and reclusive with aging it's unfortunate but kind of natural.
I meant exclusively the period of time he is in the game, not his glorious past. He could be as amazing as ever, by the time MC meets him, he is at deaths doorstep, dispassionate, surrounded by several factions that wants him gone without any true supporters, and ill.
Well, that still doesn't qualify him as a weak ruler. He's gotten old, and maybe even paranoid. He failed as a father, but not necessarily as king.
He is reclusive, the council either disregards him or plans to plot against him. It's spelled out that he can't handle the current politics and became desperate and demented, he rules by resorting to seek seers for signs.
Yes, Regis' final years were controversial, and he was a terrible king during those times.
That's irrelevant. I specified that I was refering to the current time at the start of the game, since that is the only time MC and we the player directly know and in which we interact. Old king doesn't need to be likeable and its very classic writing to make him failable, because we selfinsert as MC and strive to replace him quite quickly. So it would be against the games interest if the old king was overly likeable and competent (at the current time of the game, I seemingly have to specify).
Most likely she's, since I believe she's preggo with MC's baby
Priscilla maybe
Actually, a lot of people are worried about ISIS, including Elis. For example, if you get help from Isis to overthrow Cassandra, the southern soldiers will be stationed in the palace, creating pressure and a threat. Elis and her teacher were talking about it. The old man said that you are safe until you have a child, but after that, you have to solve the problem yourself.
