Well at least they are talking about something else than why Kaija sucks or doesn't suck lol
I hope she at least sucks and blows on the 'love' path ;)

At least I'm not alone. I like her and she was cute, I didn't want her to die, but not an angel or dating material.
Yeah, Ceolag did an outstanding Job with characterization, with her, by showing her rough (crazy) side and showing her soft and friendly side.
My hunch would be if she stayed in the story, she would have "stolen" the show to at least 3 out of 4 Main girls.
Plus plotwise he needed a strong trigger to let the Alfars go balistic, the scenario is set, MC has to grow up to the challenge.
"A bit too much crazy for me." Which is why I didn't stick my dick in her... Jus' Sayin':rolleyes:
"Sissy"! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

If y'all didn't do the full Finn / Medb path you're missing out - on information and on (for me) the best Li in the game to this point. The crazy goes away really quickly if you don't act like a dick - she was mainly just showing off I think. She'd been raised to hate Templars and (after 200 years or so) she finally got to show off her combat skills, against a Templar and in front of mom and dad no less.

Second, you don't seem to see the value in crazy and that is sad. I mean, especially in games, crazy keeps things spicy. CeCe in Leap of Faith, Luna in the DeLuca family, the outlander girls in Desert Stalker - even the occasionally crazy but hides it well like Mona in Bare Witness who is a shy girl who likes books and D&D until MC is in trouble and then she runs over the mafia lookout dude with her car, grabs her bat out of the trunk, tells you to grab his gun and heads inside.

I also think that MC's parents / Kajia / the Templars are still lying. I don't think Kajia was there as a bodyguard, more of a monitor. I think they were trying to keep you out of action so you didn't ... wake up? Something like that. MC's powers seem to have started showing up right after the attempted assassination. Suddenly he could resist succubi, and see through cloaking spells - even before he found the sword. When Kajia said that while she was on her way she was praying that she wasn't too late - and I assumed she meant too late to save MC but maybe not, maybe too late to stop him from shedding blood. I mean the whole setup (the girlfriend who is also his minder, the safe boring job in insurance) could have been crafted to keep his life pretty dull and uneventful. And when the elf queen meets you she looks at MC's sister and says something about wasted potential. Maybe they're not your parents at all, they were just trying to raise you and make sure your lives were normal and dull so that you didn't find out what you really were/are) ? Because MC is not a normal human and apparently Jessica isn't either.

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see where we go next because so far - none of the Lis seem terribly popular. Most have some fans but there doesn't seem to be anyone with a huge fan base, nor do most people seem interested in being peacemakers. Some hate the Templars (raises hand), some hate the Alfar, some hate both but I don't see a lot of people going ... "they're both great, if only I can convince everyone to get along."

Fair points indeed and could be right....
Because MC is not a normal human
Very obviously....
apparently Jessica isn't either.
Suppositiion only in this thread based off a throwaway comment which could actually equally mean just the opposite. Really getting tired of having to explain this (especially when so far, as seen, Jessica has shown zero aptitude for anything, so the actual in-game proof is the opposite of what people just blindly assume and jump to conclusions with over Mab's comment). Will also add to this, Mab is not error proof, if on the kill Finn route, Mab is quite surprised you genuinly know nothing about the templars when she 'questions' you...the dangers of blind assumption.
but I don't see a lot of people going ... "they're both great, if only I can convince everyone to get along."
Because we've known since day 1 there are 4 LI's and that's that and no one will be 'getting along' as you put it in AVN terms. No point in discussing that or is just ain't going to happen. Also, they are all (currently) very removed from each other and do not know each other.

all good points you raised, how his "Helmetness" said.
MC and Jessicas powers, could also come from their Bloodline.
Medb s "brother" who was a Templar and was burnt by the Humans during the Templar trials.
Lived long enough to absorb the nature magic of "Alfheimr" as Finnabair explained to the MC, the affinity to Medb, could come from his Bloodline, MC Dad has also that potential dormant, he could resist for a week Mab s Mindpower, The Callisters are from generations Templars.
That could be a possible explanation.
MC has no superpowers, in this theory but he has a better disposition to master magic hence to resist as a normal human.

Well he can't fly or anything, but when he saw through the cloak - I think it was Kajia who said that people can't do that, only a few of the most practiced human magic users are able to do it and that's after considerable preparation. MC did it passively, without trying or knowing what he was doing (plus the thing with the succubus that impressed Kari) - so presumably he has a huge amount of potential if he were to actually learn and practice.

Was she though? The wanting to kill my MC a few times sort of turned me off. A bit too much crazy for me.
That's what my thoughts were at first as well and I wanted to kill her my first time but my gut told me it wasn't a good idea. But idk with how they got to know each other over 2 weeks or however long it was. It felt like to me the MC changed Fin for the better almost like she was a completely different person compared to the start of the update. It got to the point she become very likeable and would of been my favorite LI out of almost any game I think. She probably still be a tad crazy when it comes to protecting her people or what what she cares for I think.

1 week there = 1 day in the human world so he was there for 7 weeks? 10 weeks? Something like that. There are a few frames that say something like ‘as the weeks passed MC spent his days training with Finnabair and his evenings learning about history and lore with Medb’ so it wasn’t a short visit, there just wasn’t any point in having us play through dozens of identical days.

Finn was nice, I liked her and I didn't want to see her harmed. I didn't like killing her at all the couple of times I did that path. I love blondes so I considered her hot. I'm just old, I've had plenty of female drama, I still do (got a malicious ex-wife and 5 daughters), so I tend to shy away from crazy and I don't think Finn was an angel, that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Probably why I love Elea so much. Nice girl, she has a few cool things going on like the car and her hobby. She is calm, supportive, helpful, sexy and NOT crazy. Same for Fiona. I haven't seen enough of Medb to say if she has a crazy streak like her daughter yet. I'm going with no for Medb, those icy veins will melt under my loving attention. ;) :cool: :ROFLMAO:
I wont mention the other LI as she has been done to death.

I never held hers or her mothers attitude against them. Holding a separate species accountable to human standards is as unfair as them holding a human to theirs.
When it comes to Kaija/Parents these are people the MC grew up with, learning from, trusting before they broke it whereas the alfar and the MC are feeling each other out for the first time. Respect is a two way street so I wasn't at all surprised by their response especially for a race that has been able to watch mankind make mistake after mistake for centuries. I don't think they're crazy I think they are aggressively cautious.
In the end it doesn't matter if you're human, alfar, demon, angel, fae, nymph and everything else in between while we may be capabale of change like Finn our flaw is we will always think that our opinions are always right no matter how askew they may or may not be.

At any rate, MC should be going back with his magic enhanced, in much better physical shape, much better trained, and much more knowledgable - whatever he does next. He basically just did boot camp in a magical land where just being there enhances you in every way. And had a chat with the Lady of the Lake.
