I've now played through the game up to the end of Ch.11 and I have to say, I find it really interesting.
It had many interesting twists and surprises, some I liked, others I would have preferred to be different.
I found the "change" that Valentina made the most interesting.
And that brings me to the point that bothers me the most.
I don't think Valentina fits into the Western faction at all.
Why should Valentina be involved? Her family doesn't take her seriously and thinks she's a stupid child.
The only one we know that they get along well is Juliana and we don't even know if the others have had much contact with her.
We also know that Valentina has some good connections in the Eastern Provinces.
It doesn't make sense that she is suddenly so vehemently against the Eastern faction.
In my opinion, Valentina should be more of a "wild card".
Maybe it would even be best if Valentine had her own little faction.
She somehow fits in a little with both factions and could then form an alliance with the faction that our MC decides on.
Of course only if our MC wants that too. I definitely do.
