Team Jezera all the way.Thouroughly enjoy the writing in this game. Also having two characters slowly becoming more depraved, but also still love each other is a real sweet spot for me. The NTR stuff is interesting because it's from both perspectives. Never with Andras though. Boo Andras.
Team Jezera all the way.
I imagine so, one of the dialogue options at the start is Rowan telling Alexia they just need to play along until they get a chance to turn the tables. And of course there are plenty of chances throughout the game to not be the absolute worst.I want andras and jezera dead... Will this game provide the ending which the hero won?
And without spoiling much at a certain point you can choose how you react to something you had a part in and you can choose to get a "heroic determination".I imagine so, one of the dialogue options at the start is Rowan telling Alexia they just need to play along until they get a chance to turn the tables. And of course there are plenty of chances throughout the game to not be the absolute worst.
I hope Alexia uses her latent magical ability and takes over Bloodmeen from the Twins but as the story implies you will be conquering all of the six realms before we get to that point I doubt we will see anything resembling an ending in the next few years.I wouldn't be suprised if one of the twins turns on the other in the end. Jezera seems to have really high aspirations, while Andras just wants to sate his endless bloodthirst. It's hard to rule a world, when one person wants to empty it and the other doesn't. As an aside, I think it's a tactical error on the Twins part to not try harder to enlist the Blackwell's help willingly. It doesn't make much tactical sense to me.
Rowan / Alexia (Can or will join the PCs, or can be convinced to switch from The Twins.) | The Twins / Bloodmeen (Will join or remain faithful regardless of the actions by either Rowan or Alexia.) | Neither (Follows their own agenda or has loyalties elsewhere. Or undetermined.) |

I think in Rowan's corruption path the Twins would be enslaved. That's what suggests the event in which he sits in a throne and something I hope to see since.I imagine so, one of the dialogue options at the start is Rowan telling Alexia they just need to play along until they get a chance to turn the tables.

Dunno if it was retconned, but Jezera throw away an alliance with an elf matriarch because she pissed her off (and she throw it by killing the elf, can't say said elf's subordinate to be happy about this). At the start of the game, I very much think they have 0 experience in tactics, which is why they want to enlist Rowan.I wouldn't be suprised if one of the twins turns on the other in the end.

They'll eventually get their comeuppance if a player wants to take that route.I think in Rowan's corruption path the Twins would be enslaved. That's what suggests the event in which he sits in a throne and something I hope to see since.
But it will happen! ;]Will take some years to deliver though.
I guess Cla Min and Draith could turn to Rowan and Alexia, as they share some disagreements with the Twins and have a very "personal" relation with the MC.As development is nearing the completion of Act I, I'm curious which NPCs and factions can ultimately become more loyal to Rowan / Alexia over The Twins / Bloodmeen axis by the act's end. When put to the test, which ones can apparently be convinced to follow our protagonists over The Twins, and will be fully committed and on board with their choice of allegiance. (Or neither as the case may be.) What do y'all think and the reasoning behind them?
Faction / NPC Loyalties (by end of Act I)
Rowan / Alexia

(Will join or remain faithful regardless of the actions by either Rowan or Alexia.) Neither

Also, since SoC covers a wide variety of sexual encounters for its players, there will inevitably be content that some players will not enjoy. Thus, some characters will not be fully explored by everyone. And some players simply haven't seen content related to certain characters just yet -- whether by choice, via RNGs, or just haven't reached that point in the story. Case in point, I haven't gone through the Fall of Rastedel myself, nor am I willing to fully explore the Orc Army recruitment; hence, I would need to rely on other players' knowledge (or dive into the script) to help fill in the question about the involved NPCs' loyalties and allegiances from the consequences of player input. Let's fill this in together!You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The bread crumbs are there with getting allies you meet on your side rather than the twins most notably the orcs and whoever is leading rastadel (like patricia enslaved to rowan)I want andras and jezera dead... Will this game provide the ending which the hero won?
I agree, but Ravager has a much better system than SoC. I can't stop comparing the dev, Vénus Noire, to George R. R. Martin. They both tried creating a fantasy world and faced problems when it GoT - pardon me for the joke - too big.This game and Ravager both promise a kind of "realm management" after a major conquest that I really hope they live up to once it is actually developed, SoK even has it up to six times potentially. Rebuilding these worlds to your liking with all the different outcomes could be amazing if done well.
