Wow, gently caress that guy. He was hoping Elodie had already contracted tuberculosis, wasn't he?

Nah. His big sister just died, and he just noted that her little girl was in good physical and mental health, being polite. No ulterior motives. Probably. We can't be sure. Maybe we need a little more information into his motivations and loyalty. Some Intrigue, perhaps. In a catsuit. Because we like Animals.

Also is this a purely matriarchal society? I didn't think dowager king was something that could exist.

Nope. A goon described as a " pure cognatic primogeniture". That just fancy talk to mean that the Line of Succession only considers birth order. I'm just going to quote that poster.

nweismuller posted:

More specifically, the kingdom operates under pure cognatic primogeniture for noble titles, but with a law forbidding any duke to possess multiple duchies. That is to say, not 'matriarchical' so much as 'gender is irrelevant to inheritance of title, only birth order matters'. Our mother was the reigning Queen, and we were her first (only) child. As her only child, we are her legal heir. Our father isn't even in the line of succession. Were we to die, the next child of the monarch before our mother would be next in line, and that would be the uncle who showed up. After him, his daughter. And so on.

Completion of skill category. Note that we have one skill in the Physical skills tree at 50%. We have one skill out of 12 at 50%. That's about 5% or 0.05 (actually 4.2% but whatever).

Welp. I was wrong. Misremembered, I guess.

I think MegaZeroX wants the thread to find out this stuff through trial 'n' error rather than those playing revealing this. (Which is why he says not to "whatever mood gives bonus to X" when asking for votes.)

Okay. Intimidate. We're not giving them the provinces, and we sure as hell not emptying our royal treasury if we can help it. We'll play at civility and merely threaten to massacre everyone he knows and loves if he does not comply with our demands.

e: Intrigue and History. Our knowledge would probably work better if had context for all of it.

This is getting silly. Will we ever pass a skill check?

We have passed a few skill checks already. The Military one the update before last that told us that we could take Ixion in a fight. The Foreign Intelligence and Court Manners checks on page 6. Composure for the snake attack. That's about it, but that's okay. We're going to fail most of these regardless of what we do.

Give the game a few more updates before Elodie actually starts appearing semi-competent.

What has Elodie been doing during the first 14 years of her life? Don't they teach anything at that boarding school of hers?

We all know that school didn't tech Elodie nothing about life. However, I figure most forms of mathematics is probably above everyone who isn't an academic or engineer considering the setting. Elodie's new found ability to add together numbers with a sum larger than 10 without taking off the royal crocs is a great party trick.

More training, since it's look more and more like in this game we can't rely on jack besides ourselves.

I don't think Joslyn is trying to be unhelpful. He just married into his position, and before Elodie's mother's untimely death, all he had to do was sit there and look pretty.

Yes, this.

C'mon guys, Elodie ain't evil. She's just letting the Free Market decide some issues like not accepting a gift from a powerful noble.

Anyway, if were an evil JRPG final boss, we'd have powerful magic or be a skilled fighter. We're at worse a powerful antagonist who will be killed off screen later in the game to make way for the true cosmic threat.

I don't know why Elodie would expect Laurent (ignoring the Evil Elodie run); Lucille's plan would require he dies.

I wonder if Togami will be less of a right bastard in the sequel. Killing her parents is one thing, but he doesn't have to gloat about it in front of a little girl.
