You have to get her back from Sewo Bend to start the rebellion. You hire her for $0 and an upkeep of $0.
Ok I a playthrough where I sided with her but never released her, so I have to release her then get her back for the rebellion to start...and here I was waiting for the rebellion to start.

Hey guys!

Does anyone know how NPCS devotion (for religion) works? The wiki is pretty unclear, because on some some sections it says "NPC effects" then on Christianity it says "Devotion Effects MC" but the others it doesn't say that... So i'm really confused on what exactly my NPCs are getting out of their religion (if anything), so I don't know if its worth converting them or not.

Also, does Buddhism do anything for an NPC effect?

The effects from NPC religion, that are affected by devotion, i found are:

- Muslims with at least 60 devotion get 10 extra accountant skill.
- Hellenistic (quite rare, not sure if randoms can get this religion) NPCs with at least 60 devotion have a chance to raise their charisma (up to 100).
- Cult of the Elder followers with at least 60 devotion can find additional merchandise when assigned as scavenger.
- Church of the two Moon followers with at least 60 devotion are more effective when assigned as a herald (50% more influence gain).
- i think (some?) bondage rolls have a lower success chance depending on devotion if the girl is christian.
- Aesir NPCs with at least 60 devotion deal 3 extra damage in combat.
- there are opposing religion effects reducing marriage accept change depending on religion (yours and the NPCs you want to marry) and devotion.


It seems Buddhism does not have any special effects.

In one of my previous games I was able to have Aria Bianchi marry my MC. In this one it says impossible even though I've freed her have her affection at undying and have done the rescue mission.
Any advice is welcome.
Most possibly Religion Incompatibility. You can either convert her (though nut to crack) or change yours. Are you aesir?

Because you freed her. A freed Aria automatically becomes a Paragon. The popup will tell you her new status. Paragons impose a -95(?) roll penalty to marriage.
Not sure about parangons and marriage penalty you say. . I married Clea with zero problems in my llast run.

As far as I know Buddhist does not conflict with any other religion. I just checked in my current game and Aria is easily marriagable for me at loving affection without converting her and without reducing her willpower. I worship Aesir and don't have any wives yet. I did go do the initial part of her quest and tell her I would help with the rebellion. I also took her with me to go visit the rebellion site so I could recruit Clea (which I have done already).

Any way to cheat Gero back to life. I must have missed him getting SWAT'd in the new day updates and am too deep into this save to start over.

It is a massive penalty. It can be overcome especially if her willpower is lower and you have 0 wives.

To bulldoze through the paragon penalty, 0 Willpower is a useful tool. I used NPC Debug to get my Paragon Milou to 0 Willpower and she will accept anything (I have 5 wives, the set limit for Aesir before penalties):

Your Aria is a slave. She will agree.

And Buddhist conflicts with Aesir but it requires Aria's Buddhist Devotion to be higher than 60. I ran into this problem marrying Tori who is Cult of the Elder 95 devotion but did not ran into it marrying a Cult of the Elder Laika at 54 Devotion. Same stats so I checked the code and yep, Aesir conflicts with everyone not Aesir or Atheists but it requires a Devotion level of 60 or higher.

This is a higher than 60 Devotion Buddhist Aria:

She had willpower well over 100 and was my 3th wife.
It's a penalty for paragons, not an impossibility. -100 just means you better "roll higher" than 100. You can get through it but it still exists and is potentially the cause of his situation. Anyway, it's been solved now and he has Aria married.
