i will have to ask , is the werden route simply the "not worth if you are not masochistic" route? The whole no good action goes without punishment seems to go over the charts in it. Its early for real going against the twins in ways that mater but still, they seem to just have the power of never having problems and rowen gets all the bad stuf.
Andras is a brute that depending on what the plot demands goes from beserker that feels no pain to being able to being hurt "the arrow when taking the keep, Rowan being able to hurt him (even if just a little) by elbowing him in the stomach, to being and aparently good strategist with an interest in clocks before going back to being a brute.
Jezera, from all i can get of her character, is a wanna be mistress of intrigue that knows stuf but a real one could probably run circles around her and has 0 alience making skills beond wanting people to follow her because her blood.
But, going back to the point , for some reason, the 2 characters that from what can be seen in theory just had the fact that they are the children of the last demon lord and brute strenght (fisical in the case of Andras and magical in Jezera's), seem to be all powerfull, with no aparent weaknesses that do something.
If they are aparently all knowing and cant be beat, even when one of the twins spels can in theory be resisted, why did they need to bother on geting Rowan? Aparently they are good without him if they can just off him no matter if they are about to get defeated by an army.
What is the point of going against it if it gives nothing ( i am taking the " There will be signifigant effects and sometimes advantages to having done Werden route " with a grain of salt because it can be anything betwen "in the last half of the final chapter things start to go right and then Rowan either becomes the new dark lord or is executed" "Once per chapter he will recieve a smal thing good for him" or "This was just him in his worse , from chapter 2 beyond he gets better at not geting caught") In the end the whole route seems to be there just to show that Rowan cant do good stuf, he saves dellane , in universe the people in next villages become slaves and he loses the girl after a very unlucky coup.
I am not asking to be able to hurt the twins in chapter 2 of.. howmany there will be, i would like to know if its intended to be a "the futility of trying to go against the twins before the final chapters" or just a low beggining.
That sends to another point that the game seems contraditory at times, rowan aparently can resist the strongest mind control magic cliohna can use, still cant resist the twins ,who are said to be weaker, fair enough, it would be a very short game if in the prologue he just standed up and gutted Andras, but things like he in chapter one being already told that he is "the streght behind the twins" or something of the sort, but then he can still get killed some turns later like he is easily replaced, the game seems to not be sure if Rowan is important, or just weak and replaceable, strong , or pityfull. Just like it cant decide the twins power, amount of content aside. Are the twins unbetable or do they have limits? (Andras being aparently not impossible to hurt , the arrow did not break agaist his skin and, even if it was like hiting a wall of bricks he felt and was hurt by the elbowthing).
In a last point to this unnecessarily long, badly written post, are the twins going to get separated at some point? The whole chapter with Andras being the one with the most event provoking Rowan makes me think at some point either he will die/be betrayed by Jezera, or one of them is going to die and leave the other has the big bad, its just me? Is it a product of the limitations of events made by month?
