VN Ren'Py Karlsson's Gambit [v0.8.31 FinalB1] [Grym Gudinna Games]

[Stan5851]

I have no doubt it will be split again after the game show is concluded (originally was split for file size but it was a good point in the story to do it looking ahead to the future).

Also, to wind Stan5851 up, as going through 8 part 1 again on a few saves...I remembered this, about his darling Lawful Good Veronica *giggles*

kk2 "Veronica's basically created a way to turn someone like her into a nice...battery."
kk2 "When she's fully charged so to speak...her body is then shocked into almost a comatose state."
     scene e8dgsp28 with mediumdissolve
kk2 "After that, she's lowered beneath our room here and her body is then used as a source of power and...food."
ec "That's enough Kat on the specifics. Suffice to say [pname], she dies and then is used to help our plants."

40.....to 50 a month....as plant food....something she developed...Chaotic Neutral more like lol.

Mav, I never claimed that Veronica is the standard of kindness and morality... It's just that, unlike some other sisters, V has completely different priorities, not killing slaves for the sake of murder and orgasm, not her own hedonism, but higher goals, related to saving the world... Yes, her methods are sometimes cruel, but this is the way of the world, where there are no more nuclear power plants or fusion and where energy for existence, sometimes, have to be extracted even by such barbaric methods.

If you ask me, what about her sexual inventions (like strong aphrodisiacs and pain enhancers), which she made for her sisters and stuff, I have already expressed my opinion about it and I think you have seen it, so now I won't focus on it. Anyway, who can know their character better than the person who created it? So I think that in this case (as in all other cases where we find it hard to compromise) we should be guided by what Tess herself says about Veronica or any other character.

Hey Stan, I couldn't quite remember the definition of Chaotic Neutral alignment, so I had to dust off Baldur's Gate 1 after a decade.

Mav says Veronica is a lunatic, so yeah, now you guys FIGHT! .

Tess herself, among other descriptions of Veronica's character, describes her as "Lawful Neutral". Could you show a screenshot with a description of this personality type (according to the BD1 creators)?

 

[Maviarab]

according to the BD1 creators

It was D&D 2.5...Bioware just used the ruleset.

it however, has not changed much over the years regarding alignment.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Best part about the Anais game? Veronica's long gone. Hopefully her type is unique to KG.

 

[jadepaladin]

Lawful Neutral is adhering to some set of guidelines, codes, or laws and being completely unbending about it. It can, and typically is, associated with a personal code, such as honor. Evil or good do not factor into their decisions. They tend to be respectful to others based on their position in society. I think it fits Veronica without being a perfect fit, as is often the case with alignments.

I won't argue since my practical 'knowledge' of D&D is limited to 'The Big Bang Theory' series and PC games like BD I-III.

As Mav rightly says, these are the old definitions from the second edition, and the game is from 1998.

As an abbreviated version of this definition, one could simply say, "Veronica."

I don't know about how much attention will be paid to V in Anais' game, but if we're talking about the KG universe as a whole (which, as I understand it, is almost 600 pages of text written by Tess), Veronica is one of the key characters there.

In my entire giant lore of seven connected games in my head, Veronica Karlsson is a giant figure that impacts way beyond KG.

So if these hypothetical games ever come out, who knows, maybe V will show up there as well..

 

[PickerLewd]

And the Wiki has some examples of characters for each alignment (I don't know if this is right):

Lawful Good: Batman, Dick Tracy and Indiana Jones.
Neutral Good: El Zorro and Spiderman.
Chaotic Good: Robin Hood and Malcolm Reynolds.
Lawful Neutral: James Bond, Odysseus and Sanjuro from Yojimbo film.
True Neutral: Animals, Lara Croft, Han Solo (70's Movies) and Lucy Westenra from "Dracula" book.
Chaotic Neutral: Captain Jack Sparrow and Snake Plissken.
Lawful Evil: Boba Fett and Magneto from X-Men's.
Neutral Evil: Mystique from X-Men's and Sawyer (early Seasons of "Lost").
Chaotic Evil: No one is mentioned, I suspect perhaps a biblical demonic figure .

I had a group I played Ad&d with in the 90s. That system was always weird to me. It's fun but just as well they abandoned it. I remember True Neutral as being described as being concerned with keeping "the balance", which seems to mean that if there is too much good around you, you must do something evil to "keep balance"? Weird. The creator of the game Gary Gygax was a very specific type of hardcore christian though, at least that's what I was told, maybe it made sense to him.

As far as I can tell that list looks pretty good, though I'm not familiar with all those names. I'd maybe put Snake Plissken on Chaotic Good, but I can see the argument for Chaotic Neutral. Veronica as Lawful Neutral makes sense to me. They're all about order.

You know, I like Jules , but if Kane wants to stay alive centuries later, he has to end up with V .

I was ready to go a couple of rounds over some of these but then decided what's the point?

Now I kind of want to do an alignment chart for KG. Slotting that up there with a tier list based solely on looks.

 

[Maviarab]

As you mentioned Tierlist JP....some of you already have it...but for those who don't.

You must be registered to see the links

For those who like my Excel sheets, all will be uploaded tomorrow afternoon. Not quite going to finish and I've made quite a lot of adjustments to all three sheets and as getting late here I'm not going to (accurately) manage to get them done tonight.

 

[PickerLewd]

Your characters in the office are all Lawful, Neutral, or Chaotic Evil .

You can only try to make the tierlist with the main characters, the rest are slaves who barely speak .

 

[Huurn]

Pretty much!

 

[jadepaladin]

If you wanna argue about it, unless it's something drastic like telling me Junko is chaotic evil, I'm gonna probably just agree since nearly everyone in KG has quite a bit of wiggle room. I do think the tier list could do with two versions of Elena. We'll probably end up needing two of Claudia as well.

Phew. Probably more effort than was necessary but I bet at least one of you gets something out of it.

I can certainly add them but perhaps at this point with their being very little change, I should do it for the next update or even Ep.9? I'm happy to go with the majority though.

On that point...I think someone hasn't seen Junko on the SubPath...

(And with that I'm out...will get everything uploaded tomorrow. Night guys).

We don't need multiple versions of Elena and stuff yet officially. I just meant for that "alignment" version that good Elena is very different from evil Elena.

I have seen most (if not all) of the sub path content by now and I think I know the scene you're talking about. This is probably gonna get into Stan territory but it's sometimes hard to separate "I'm following a task set by my master and have to do this to survive" from "I enjoy doing this and I'm glad it I'm getting to do it." How many of the cast are just doing what they are told against their own will? Junko has demonstrated multiple times that she's struggling with some of the things she has to do (pet play notwithstanding, that's her thing). Ugh, I wanna say more but I'm fighting a headache from making the alignment chart.
