I reconcile it by the fact that it been working so far. Apart from not releasing him or his wife Rastedel is the first time the twins have seriously bucked him. For most major decisions he has been able to convince or manipulate them toward the path that he prefers as long as he can make it sound somewhat reasonable. So when he doesn't quite have control of the city, it would be reasonable to think he has a decent chance of smoothing this over and convincing them to give him a little more time. People mostly look to past experiences to predict how future event will play out, and Rowans past experience told him he could salvage the situation. BTW I would argue that he does salvage it to a degree as the twins agree to just sack the half that Rowan didn't have under control instead of the entire city as they were about to do.

Keep in mind Rowan nearly pulled it off perfectly. And I'm sure they had all kinds of contingency plans in place. If the Prothian guards decide to fight we do this, if The other faction tries to resist the coup we do that, if the Baron tries to make a run for it this is the plan, here's what we do if the people are hesitant to accept the changes. They didn't have a plan for what happens if the Baron freaks the fuck out and commits suicide by flinging himself out of the window, because that was not an outcome that was even remotely on anyone's radar. Even if Rowan was supposed to be a mastermind predicting such an outcome would beggar the imagination.
If the case was to secure the Baron because he was the most important person in the city, then he would have planned to do so in the first place, but instead he just did what he did and everything just go out of hands, yes, it is impossible to plan for everything but it would be another ways to try to convince the Baron to do your biding for good or fool him to put him under arrest in a secured place until Jezera do her slutty demonic magic to enslave minds.

I think at this point Rowan was still hoping to get away scot-free, if he can escape the twins then no one has to know he was ever working with the demons. Since he is largely left to his own devices he could have warned people about what is coming at any time, but then people might start questioning how he knows so much and might suspect his involvement, much as Delane does on a certain path when she has time to think about it. I think Rowan has a certain amount of selfishness to him in that regard. It is similar to the way that he is willing to risk the lives and freedom of entire nations in order to protect his wife and his own life. It is a sort of trolly problem but instead of strangers on both sides, it is you and your wife on one side and strangers/acquaintances on the other side and the question is how many people do we have to pile on the track before your willing to flip the switch.

Also while the game doesn't put a time limit on how long you take to complete the Rastedel arc, I feel that canonically the coup happens over a fairly short period of time. I don't think there was time to set up an insurgency capable of resisting a demon occupation in advance with out revealing what was about to happen.

While I'm thinking about it, I wonder if he hasn't also maybe drank a bit of the kool-aid with the thing about him being such a great a hero. He might think that can do this one his own, or even that he needs to do this alone. But in the dream sequences, Rowan doesn't seem super heroic in his past. Also I don't know if any of his heroic deeds were accomplished on his own. He may have been the orchestrater of the deeds, but it seems like he typical had a team or an army with him. I don't think he really started thinking of himself as a hero until the war was over and everyone started calling him a hero.
A Rowan that survives long enough to get to Rastdel definitely canonically has Hero complex. He often uses it to justify away his choices. The Rowan that doesn't have hero complex dies in one of the many dead ends offered by refusing to serve the twins in various foul deeds.

I suppose he could also truly and completely believe he will be able to resist the twins and will be able to prevent a greater tragedy down the line- but that is still hero complex; though it is a slightly different flavor of cool-ade.

Guys i was just wondering, can you check things like corruption? Or points towards certain characters?
You can get a general sense of how corrupted Rowan is (and his guilt, too) via his status screen portrait. I forget the exact details and don't currently have the game on my drive, but as I recall it's something along the lines of...an angry red glow around Rowan shows corruption progression, how done with this shit his eyes look indicates guilt. You can find an exact image in this thread showing this off via the Search feature, but YMMV in finding it.

For exact numbers for corruption, and for any idea of relation stats, the only way is to enable the console and use commands in a way that returns the current value. If you choose to go that route, the post linked in my signature has the needed details.

In the next episode it would be helpful if the important branches based on corruption levels were visible so you would know you might want to replay the scene with different choices

The new update is finally out. Lots of new stuff this time, it seems. Not only more Liurial, X'zaratl and Andras NTR, but also some extra CGs from Sommy :D

My favorite fetish is swinging . Like both Alexia and Rowan sharing and swaping partners with consent with each other, while still maintaining their marriage . I hope we get to see more of that. Rowan giving the elf maiden to his wiling wife was a very hot scene for me. And i all so will there be any more futa on female content ? Preferebly high corruption Alexia doing some girl with her magic dong (can be the elf secretary or some other one).

I was hoping for X and Liurial to get finished with this update. The moment to finally be able to play the completed Arc 1 fades away in the far distance again. I feel like it won't even be next year at this point.

I cant wait till they have to spend 5 updates making solely on Jez and Rowan with how far its behind. Arc 1 isnt going to be done ever lol. On another note I finally got around to playing some of this again, and the intro is so much better then what I remember it being.

it's always kind of a pain to look for the new events on console, most have little description and i don't remember which event is which.

When I saw those two, I said: *borat voice* I LIKE!!!!!

does anyone know if these new Alexia scenes have CG in the new update or not?
As far as I can tell, devs of this game usually make new scenes without CGs and add CG for scenes from previous update, so CGs "lag" 1 update behind. There are a lot of exceptions to this, but commonly it seems to go like this.
