I know, in another scene later on there is also the Bloody Baron from The Witcher 3.
Yep, this is why i enjoy this dev game and is patreon

Well, just to create perhaps some discussion... do you people think that SnowStorm's evil route (BB) is more evil than SandStorm's? I started to wonder that as I played through the latest update.
Definitely more evil - BB path is basically plundering, killing a lot of people, conquest, betraying allies, dable in black magic etc

Sandstorm's evil path sucks. Actually, that entire VN kinda sucked despite starting off pretty strong IMO. I feel like it didn't really have a middle which is odd because it had a beginning that made it seem like it was going to be an epic slowburn, and then out of nowhere the story became super fast-paced and then ended abruptly.

I actually liked SandStorm but I can't deny that SnowStorm is way better.

Yea, I actually felt weird about posting that because I knew it didn't properly convey how I felt. I didn't mean to sound like I was hating on it. Maybe a better way of saying it is that Sandstorm was fine... It just felt like a letdown as the pacing skyrocketed towards an abrupt end. You pick a path, expecting the story to go on for another 30 minutes, but instead get only 5 minutes before it ends lol. Snowstorm feels much better for sure.

Yeah, it felt rather rushed.
I do agree that the evil path kinda felt the weakest....thought how the MC filled them up like balloons was fun

I thought it was quite funny, specially in that ending where you basically become the new Anubis.Yeah, it felt rather rushed.

I cannot stand this thing with Yrsa's daughter.
The protag goes 'actually, it could totally happen that two redheads have a black haired child because of genetics and stuff!'
No, it's actually quite impossible 'because of genetic'. Red (and blonde, for that matter) hair is a recessive trait, meaning that both parents would have had two copies of the gene for red hair and thus couldn't pass on any other hair colour to their child. The child having 'raven' hair just makes it worse because that's a dominant trait, meaning that it would 'overpower' a recessive gene and thus cannot be present in a ginger or a blonde.
The only way Yrsa isn't a cheater is the miniscule chance that a genetic mutation occurred.
It's genuinely on the level of two Asians having a black kid.

I really hate that you're making me pull this one out. Quit taking your tenth grade biology lessons as a basis for what is or isn't possible.

"Beaumont et al. (2007) found that only 74% of individuals who were homozygous for tryptophan at position 160 have red hair, while 4% of individuals who were heterozygous for this amino acid had red hair. Box et al. (1997) found five pairs of dizygotic twins which had identical genotypes for the MC1R gene, yet one twin had red hair and the other didn't. Sulem et al. (2007) used the variation at the MC1R gene to try to predict hair color, and about a third of the individuals who were predicted to have red hair actually had blond or brown hair."

Yeah as i said, kinda funny, becoming a god was a nice touche, just not really the LI we got...even the MC was fed up with her after a short while.

Just to doublecheck: If I am not on either Candrid's or Katja's paths, there is no content in v0.8BB for me?
Since Yrsa left and became a Dark Raven.

in terms of society yes... probably not as evil as the Ravens Nox route that intends to murder the future with their communism but still!
In terms of personal choices? not even close... what one did to Rhyon when on her love path is beyond despicable,
its even worse if you didn´t add lust into it so it totally breaks her... if you add in lust its still pretty horrible but not as awfull!
in my evil Route i gained Norah trust just to rape her when i caught her stealing...
i mean i had already raped her before so she knew what was comming if she got caught!
if anything i justify myself that she liked the 1st one so baddly that she came for seconds and thieving was just an excuse!
then i sold off Rhyon (she had enough lust to become a total slut instead of a broken bitch...)
and finally to top it all off i also rapped Maddie and betrayed the godess and entered the portal Alone!
did my MC felt bad afterwards? sure...
but i justufy myself that the bitches had it coming for stringing the MC along for ever...
so it was either that or not feeling anything at all since he was dead inside
and those were the sacrifices he made so he could be reborn as a Chad where before he was friendzoned simp!
not to mention that the MC does that while being an enlighted man of the 20th century
in this time frame being raped is like getting yourself burned on the stove while cooking...
doesn´t happen that often but if you get distracted or are clumsy in a viking raid prone region...
So no in this time frame you can actually do "worse" to more people but its not a breaking of trust
or a societal taboo subject, it makes him an "aventurer"
where from were he came or the time he came from it would make him a mass murderer and a sociopath!
So in this society, he can do worse in terms of quantity but not in terms of "quality"!
the social norms are diferent when there is a 10% chance that you might starve when winter comes!
So comimiting 5% of the crimes he did in the Viking era if it was done in the 20th century would make him a monster
here he did the bare minimum to be considered a man... and there are those who will still call him a mercyfull cowardly sissy boy
its more common then you would consider!
actually the hair colour only settles after puberty
so 90% of blondes become light brown later on in life!
but yes there is a chance that it could happen,
but twice the chance that she got rapped or sold herself off for a while to a few ravens!
i mean we all had our crazy years... and crazy years in a viking society...
yes!

Ok, I have never played an evil path in Sandstorm, but you, guys, definitely got me curious
I'm still waiting for it on steam, so just might as well give villain route a try in addition to Maddie's one.
Nox is really smart, she could do what Candrid does but she is a softie, that is why she couldnt do it, You can compare making Lizgard and Katja relive their trauma with killing Ragnar, betray the competitors of the tournament, etc. Candrid is a Woman that will do anything to get what she wants, mind you i love her for that.
But it is true that Nox' ways arent right, she is so obsess with saving the Norse Culture that throws away her people, that is why i think is important that you becomes her equal.
For real, makes me wonder if it will affect in some way the snowstorm game.Ok, I have never played an evil path in Sandstorm, but you, guys, definitely got me curious
