aw, that's disappointing, inquisatrix or Enid for queen!Only those 3 so far.
Lemme add a few nickels.
Valzira may be too full of rage and hate to care about deception. Yes, it also clouds her judgement, but I suspect she's beyond lies now. Granted, whatever she says is warped - but not by an attempt to deceive you. IIRC, even during the stupidest gameover of granting her freedom after conquest she tells you she will fuck you up before you release her.
Man, sisters do not solve (or exacerbate) their sibling issues by making each other fuck a dragon. Most siblings have some sort of conflict, probably why Malice doesn't want one, but the way their dynamic works is really not something you can apply reason to, its just porn logic.Regarding cat sisters - no, their fights are no play. Its very clear once you see their Sunken Temple scene. There is conflict between them, it's just buried very deep.
He stumbles over words all the time, like he is not sure how to present himself, it's not just "we". There is a weird duality to him, he acts proper and dignified but also kind of slutty. He's a kobold but yet with none of the behaviors or looks of one. Sure it might be a sign of possession but its not a very strong one.No, he's probably not saying "we" in regal sense - otherwise, why he always self-correct when he does that?
Problem with demon possession is he does not act like a demon, why would demons care about human lives and what happens with people? As with the hinting, the problem stems from how do you actually envision the world and setting, does it revolve all around us - the player, not the dragon - or is it it's own inner consistent world where we are only just observing? It's valid to say, why would the dev bother with these descriptions if we already know of Issa's magic transformation, but I would argue back that someone who had those things done to them *should* have such a description for world consistency and lore.However, I think it's demon possession. Why? The whole scene is built to highlight those details, to hint at something. There is no narrative reason to hint at magical influence over Issa's form, since we know it already in most direct way possible - we were told he was modified by magic. If devs tried to hint at something, it must be something we did not know already, hence there would be no reason to hint. So, we can reasonably discount it being magical effect. Possession, on the other hand, would explain bot the effects and strange plural when referring to self.
This I find more plausible, note that unlike other captives he can't get pregnant so he can't deliver you any kobolds. When describing his appearance, his transformation specifically, he talks about being an "inferior immitation" or something like that. I think he might just have a hidden inferiority complex and is scared of losing access to the dragon, which might explain his other behaviors.Or even if he is plotting against you, what would his motives be? He seems possessive, which begs into suspicion a possibility of unrequited affection. What if some kind of demon got all drooly about his scaled cousin and went yandere-mode?
I don't think its all so eldritch, if you talk about what caused the last naga to disappear its said that it just happened on its own. There was no conquest, no coup, no betrayal, its almost like they just committed suicide of some sort. So I don't think it's about having some sort of a grand plan, but more that they are really depraved impulsive creatures that don't think ahead very far, they just do what they want, act what they feel like, otherwise why orchestrate your own downfall? Malice just does what she feels like, I don't think she's that different from the dragon, its just she has reality breaking powers while you do not. Though going back to how the naga just disappeared, reality breakage might be more of a side effect of them just existing rather than something they have mastery over, their eldritch nature isn't so much about them personally but more about the fact of their existence that disrupts natural laws, which can lead to them being affected by it as much as they affect others. I might be wrong about this though since I'm out of the loop on the lore.So, I think that in terms of thinking she is somewhere between eldritch and fae - classical fae that is: unpredictable and capricious, less malicious and more on their own wave (which still makes them incredibly dangerous). Eldritch part comes in form of her plans and motives potentially being so far out there there is practically no way of predicting or, perhaps, even understanding them. She is insanely powerful capricious otherworldly entity who break reality just by being around. She may even have no plans or that her plans are so eldritch there is no point explaining, or that she's just messing with her dad by not telling.
Indeed - some of them are simply to sweet to say "no". That said though, one should beware their... extras. After all, there is...I don't judge... heck, some of the more... manageable... ones could probably convince me to bottom on occasion with a little sweet talk....
Well Since I took the Abandoned mine. I was going to give her to the Infernos. So I went after Valria first (and lucky since later I found saw in the guide you need traps ready for the cats) which I didnt have.. So Valria ended up getting the first turns... I then later changed my mind not to give Heloise to the infernos and keep her. All it seems the demons give you is an army, and im not interested in demons chicks with dicks at all to hand over a white haired elf . . But looking at the gallery and some interesting scenes she has with Malice, she did look like a better mother. Varlria really hates Malice doesnt she. But I cant really change that now unless I reload my Act 2 start save and do everything again.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
My hope is that you will have some control over it instead of it just being "haha consequences of le actions" because the whole game is about it all being just a fantasy over realism, imposing fetishes onto people that just want Malice content and messing up everything else is really not nice, no matter how philosophical you get behind it.To be honest.. While I just reached act 4 (yes I have malice coming).. But this talk of the apocalypses I hope is just not some bad ending.. That would be really shit on the devs behalf. Since how easy it is to achieve and would show he did turn it into a shitty story.. I really hope its just an end game scenario to make the world darker place... I want to think of it as like the manga Berserk. Where the astral plane (with all the demons) starts merging with the mortal plane because of Grifith. Things are going to get "dark" and messed up real soon. Which could be a means to give us plenty of dark fetishes and storylines or such. But that should be it. I hope thats the intent.

Thats kinda why I was just thinking if I should give them to the kobolds or Wolves... It was pissing me off, if you dont select the right option.. They escape from the lair RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRAGON and KOBOLD GUARDS.. Its fucking stupid. He should of swatted them like cochroaches. It just feels shit that you have to select the right options or poof their gone with nothing you can do about it.Yeah, they only tried to backstab you and run away in every single event prior to you making them your consorts. Lol.
After all their attempts had failed, they changed their approach. Started manipulating you into providing them safety.
And even their pretend at fighting eachother after they become consorts is really obviously fake.

I see reason in her unreasonable hatred. Lie, if not habitual - which can be the case, granted - is usually a conscious effort. It takes at least some degree of reason - and at that point she has little to none. And even if she lies - what reason there would be for HER to warn you against Issa's shenanigans? Either she does not care enough to lie anymore - or Issa's wasn't plotting against YOU.I don't think that's entirely true, she can lie all she wants, the problem is she doesn't do it rationally. She makes no effort to hide her hatred for you because its so great she is unable to, but there is no reason why she wouldn't lie about anything else. Suppose that nothing were to happen to the dragon, would she stay silent? No, she hates your guts so she imagines all the ways you are going to get screwed over, if she ever predicts the future its only going to be just from the fact if you keep throwing darts at the board you're bound to eventually hit. I don't think she's trustworthy at all.
I... Don't quite get what you are saying here. I think those wasn't even your words about their conflict in-harem being pure pretend. And I commented on those words specifically.Man, sisters do not solve (or exacerbate) their sibling issues by making each other fuck a dragon. Most siblings have some sort of conflict, probably why Malice doesn't want one, but the way their dynamic works is really not something you can apply reason to, its just porn logic.
You have to agree - that one is a very specific stumble. Also, his duality - or, perhaps, it would be more apt to call it mutli-facedness - runs way deeper. Have you ever tried to give him out to the wolves? He fits in the pack. And the Eburon comments that he is a natural killer. If anything, I suspect "slutty" part being pure play-pretend to entice our Bad Dragon and not part of any real, deep duality.He stumbles over words all the time, like he is not sure how to present himself, it's not just "we". There is a weird duality to him, he acts proper and dignified but also kind of slutty. He's a kobold but yet with none of the behaviors or looks of one. Sure it might be a sign of possession but its not a very strong one.
And what does "acting like a demon" even means? Zazi is one thing - a pretty conniving gal. Her brutes, on the other hand... Are brutes, naff said. Demons can vary in their methods - or even, perhaps, goals.Problem with demon possession is he does not act like a demon, why would demons care about human lives and what happens with people? As with the hinting, the problem stems from how do you actually envision the world and setting, does it revolve all around us - the player, not the dragon - or is it it's own inner consistent world where we are only just observing?

Dude, I hate to bring it to you...This I find more plausible, note that unlike other captives he can't get pregnant so he can't deliver you any kobolds.

I think he might just have a hidden inferiority complex and is scared of losing access to the dragon, which might explain his other behaviors.
I wasn't clear enough, forgive me. I was attempting to point out what you just did, but I got distracted mid-writing and forgot the thought.I don't think its all so eldritch, if you talk about what caused the last naga to disappear its said that it just happened on its own. There was no conquest, no coup, no betrayal, its almost like they just committed suicide of some sort.

I think those people are silly, no offense. Game did little to warn, giving us vague portents of doom. Not that I blame the devs, but there was little way for us to properly realize the danger beforehand. "The end is nigh!" isn't a great warning, it's not specific in the slightest besides the scope of the problem. Of course, such vagueness entails nothing on waify deerification matters.Greater question to me is, what's the point of all of this? When people talk about the weird deer thing that happens to Anne for example, people go "ah fuck consequences of my actions" but is this really to punish the player for no reason? Is this to indulge in some sort of even crazier fetishes? Why does it have to be apocalyptic, instead of just being a new world order? Why put Malice (best girl) behind some kind of bad ending state? Is it really meant to be bad? Is it an excuse for the writer to go off his meds? So many questions.
That's not really true, lies can be said casually without any effort. The actual struggle is in trying to construct a narrative that seems truthful, but you don't need that to lie, Val doesn't really have one she just says most mean things she can to you. Plenty of room to lie there without any effort.Lie, if not habitual - which can be the case, granted - is usually a conscious effort.
I know its not addressed to me, but I find the topic interesting, and my point is that looking "too deep" into a character like this is counter productive cause they don't act in a normal rational way. The point is that these two sisters are funny and they're hot and things like the rivalry between them shouldn't be taken too seriously, I think its mostly played for laughs.I... Don't quite get what you are saying here. I think those wasn't even your words about their conflict in-harem being pure pretend. And I commented on those words specifically.
Honestly, I don't know what to comment. Even the whole topic is vague - like, sibs do conflicts in their own unique ways. It kinda-sorta feels like you are trying to umbrella term what does not need that.
Don't be silly, when did you ever meet a demon that cares about suffering or well being of ordinary people? The prosperity of the realm? This is not something demons ever care about, sometimes even go out to destroy in media.And what does "acting like a demon" even means? Zazi is one thing - a pretty conniving gal. Her brutes, on the other hand... Are brutes, naff said. Demons can vary in their methods - or even, perhaps, goals.
Yes, that is literally the point, all of it. You boink other people, and they get kobolds, but you boink Issa and Issa doesn't get kobolds. I have no idea why you think I implied Issa is female, when I used all his male pronouns, the point is that he's like a femboy trap where he's clearly 100% male but he kind of fits the archetype of a woman, and his complex is on that he fills that role imperfectly.Dude, I hate to bring it to you...
But he ain't no chick. And boys don't get preggers.
Why did you even bring this up?.. I mean - yes, you've made a likely theory on his reasons. May be true, totally - personally, I think it is to some degree.
But, like, I always viewed him in the cohort of different sort of companions. Like our chief kobbie, Captain or Eburon - hey, you can get laid with the Big Bad Wolf! Does that make him a part of our captives?
Not everyone you can fuck is part of your harem in this game. Heck, remember that gal in the Monastery? She doesn't become our captive. At all. We can just fuck her - or drop her and got Chanwe instead.
So, why focus on this part? It may be totally irrelevant. And I don't recall Issa being an attempt to make a female kobbie. Just a prettyfying attempt, so to speak.
My point is more that Malice isn't eldritch, really. She's surrounded by eldritch things, but she herself is actually a mundane person. I did notice interesting connections to Mother, like how Mother is pregnant before Malice comes into the world, and then isn't, so I definitely buy into there something being strange going on with Malice but I just don't think she herself is personally an alien being, or infused with alien thought patterns, its more like something is trying to get a hold on her.I wasn't clear enough, forgive me. I was attempting to point out what you just did, but I got distracted mid-writing and forgot the thought.
'Eldritch' and 'fae' were my attempts to roughly encapsulate her mindset. The point were not some ultra-elaborate or literally unthinkable plans - she may just think in ways incomprehensible, that's what I was trying to say. I'd like to remind that, seemingly, the only one who had an actual meaningful conversation with Malice was Mother. Yes, an incomprehensible cryptic primordial being of an eldritch nature.
As for control over her powers - I agree that reality warping is side effect. I doubt she has much control over it, if any.
Ask yourself, *why* do there have to be portents of doom? What is the nature of doom? Why does it manifest itself the way it did? "The End" is coming but why does that have to involve fucking deer people? There are so many ways you could go with this idea of the world changing and transforming and this is just an awful way to go because many people want Malice but they don't want all this other nonsense. Is it really an unreasonable thing to ask for? Look at what happens in the game, you boink so many women and none of them get any injuries, were this another game that chose to implement such consequences to your actions would you still go "man those people asking to get rid of all that gore are silly you are a dragon"? I do not think just cause that the game has said "this kid of yours is gonna fuck some shit up" that you have to go balls to the walls with crazy nonsense that the player has no control over, sure you could but why do you need to when you could have done something different? Fantasy is not constrained by reason, its a fantasy, especially a sex one, the rules can be whatever we want them to be.I think those people are silly, no offense. Game did little to warn, giving us vague portents of doom. Not that I blame the devs, but there was little way for us to properly realize the danger beforehand.

We don't even know if that's a bad ending, a doomsday or whatever else of that nature. Physics break - yet is there actual suffering? Deerie-Ann doesn't seem to suffer. Does that now-bewinged boy?
Malice is a roaring fire of Armageddon that melts the world into unrecognizable shapes - yet is it an end? A new beginning? The Great Re-Making? Is it even bad?
Elves think that way. But we don't know if they know for sure - or if their motives aren't ulterior. They will lose their top position in the world, after all. Mother seems to embrace it - I think, hard to tell. Demons do not seem to care that much, as far as I understand.
I doubt the game gave enough puzzle-pieces to get a full picture yet. Yet, we should try anyway, I think.
And for Darja to be an option as queen, you have to have gone the route that has Malagar. (One can't help wondering where he is and what he's doing if you took one of the other two lair options.)Only those 3 so far.
Almost all female characters in this game are eligible for pregnancy. With a couple exceptions.So for pregnancy content, what characters are available for you to knock up?
Maybe he's just schizo, nobody really knows. I think the important part is the experiments done on him has done something to his mind, not just his body. Description of his corpse, his manner of speech (no other kobold talks as elegantly as him, not breaker, not petruk, etc), his violence towards Val who was involved in his transformation, I think it's all going to link back to that central key event, problem is what does it mean, what have they really done to him? I don't think he's plotting against the dragon specifically but he definitely has some agenda going on, maybe it's revenge, maybe he's trying to protect you in his own way against some perceived danger, naho and val are the only captives that you really can't reason with. We know the previous dragon was an asshole who's done it all to him, maybe he wants to prevent that happening again, but he never says anything directly bad about his previous master, perhaps to avoid conflict with you. He's not fully upfront about something to you, but I get the vibe its not out of maliciousness or hostility, more out of fear.Do we actually know what Issa is up too? It seems in the scene he has with Valzira he wants the naga to be born?
He hates kobolds and seems sad/annoyed if you respond that you want to make Adeline your queen and make more dragons.
But at the same time there is that scene where he goes all yandere on Naho, and I cant find any angle there that he is plotting something against us somehow. only wanting to "put her in her place" for daring to try to attack us.
Depends on the severity of the lie in question and personality of the lyer. May be very casual, may be very hard. I am not sure how to assess Valzira in particular. We need examples of her lying and her telling truth for such assessment.That's not really true, lies can be said casually without any effort. The actual struggle is in trying to construct a narrative that seems truthful, but you don't need that to lie, Val doesn't really have one she just says most mean things she can to you. Plenty of room to lie there without any effort.
Well, we have two ways of assessing character. We either go for specific in-story details or "normal rational way". People be people, after all, no reason to suspect outlandish behavior if its possibility were not established.I know its not addressed to me, but I find the topic interesting, and my point is that looking "too deep" into a character like this is counter productive cause they don't act in a normal rational way. The point is that these two sisters are funny and they're hot and things like the rivalry between them shouldn't be taken too seriously, I think its mostly played for laughs.
Regrettably, you've missed the point and read only a setup for it.Don't be silly, when did you ever meet a demon that cares about suffering or well being of ordinary people? The prosperity of the realm? This is not something demons ever care about, sometimes even go out to destroy in media.
Still, not every companion is meant for literal breeding. And while such jealousy and inferiority complex is a possibility, Issa may not even be intended by authors to be viewed in that cohort.Yes, that is literally the point, all of it. You boink other people, and they get kobolds, but you boink Issa and Issa doesn't get kobolds. I have no idea why you think I implied Issa is female, when I used all his male pronouns, the point is that he's like a femboy trap where he's clearly 100% male but he kind of fits the archetype of a woman, and his complex is on that he fills that role imperfectly.
Understandable. Since we already exchanged our opinions on the matter and seemingly exhausted this topic for now, I will conclude it simply. We don't know for sure, since her role in the Cataclysm is yet to be revealed - and I am sure there would be a lot to reveal later on.My point is more that Malice isn't eldritch, really. She's surrounded by eldritch things, but she herself is actually a mundane person. I did notice interesting connections to Mother, like how Mother is pregnant before Malice comes into the world, and then isn't, so I definitely buy into there something being strange going on with Malice but I just don't think she herself is personally an alien being, or infused with alien thought patterns, its more like something is trying to get a hold on her.
I'm not arguing against you, if that's what you mean by the way. I'm just sharing my perspective on things
Answer to "Why?" is simpler than simplicity itself. People in-story view it this way. We have mostly their perspective - IIRC, supernatural beings are more chill on the subject. Why would people view it as doomsday? That's the upturning of the world their know. It matters less whether or not world would actually end - to them, it won't be that different.Ask yourself, *why* do there have to be portents of doom? What is the nature of doom? Why does it manifest itself the way it did? "The End" is coming but why does that have to involve fucking deer people? There are so many ways you could go with this idea of the world changing and transforming and this is just an awful way to go because many people want Malice but they don't want all this other nonsense.

Hard to tell, IMO. Point is - ATM, we saw people morph according to their personalities. Its less of "turned into monsters" and more sort of realization of their... Dreamscape? Its like they turn into dream versions of themselves. Reality thins around Malice and subjective start to overwrite objective.Also everything around Malice seems to point towards the apocalypse being bad. I mean, its the apocalypse. It's not a new age, although I wish it was, people get turned into monsters and their free will getting fucked with, this is not good by any measure. Not like you have any say in the matter either, it just happens.
He slipped on banana peel...One can't help wondering where he is and what he's doing if you took one of the other two lair options.
