Started a new game, and I am at day 3. I have a thought I wanted to share. Kane is being an asshole, and that's framed as a bad thing, but honestly? I can kind of see where's he coming from (again, I don't know what will happen later).
I was taken aback at how rude he was to us, but honestly? I think it's Lady's Balethorn's fault more than anything else. By that I mean, it's obvious why she really invited us back: it's because she expects Kane to die and for us to be a ready replacement. And Kane naturally doesn't like the fact that his mother probably expects him to die and pass down his power to his twin. From his perspective, we are like a vulture, just waiting for him to fall so that we can grab his everything for ourselves. He might not even realize that we're innocent in this plot and think us a co-conspirator. If I was in his place, especially with the possibility that the power of the hero was cut in half during our birth, I would have tried to get some kind of assassin and be rid of us, after all it's entirely probable from his point of view that we're preparing to do the same.
Anyway, my point is, can we beat up Lady Balethorn. She's obviously plotting against Kane and got us involved against our will. EDIT: Not that I'm complaining about the RESULTS of that, mind you, but it could have just as easily ended up with arsenic in our food if Kane was as ruthless and pragmatic as I am.
