Maybe I missed something but hasn't the sequence of events so far been, "varl/humans wandering around, minding their own business, DREDGE loving MURDER EVERYTHING, caravans desperately fight to avoid destruction" so I'm not sure what this whole "provoking" thing is coming from.

I get that the game is simulating decision making while in the throes of crisis where you generally have a lot of unpleasant choices and usually your ability to make an informed decision is impeded but it feels like there's so many "decide how you want to die, A: drowning, B: immolation, C: disease" and that is rather demoralizing.

That said, let's wait three days, I'm not even sure where else we are gonna run out to, did we even pick another destination or is the caravan supposed to wander aimlessly when the proles get antsy?

That seems reasonable which means it somehow leads to Ragnarok coming early and dooming all life!

If half the caravan dies but the fights are balanced around that decimated number then it's fine, it's just numbers. From a storytelling perspective, all of creation is falling apart and the center is literally not holding, so that's the sort of disaster it's been hinting at for a while and then...it happens. Ragnarok is here, poo poo, it's not clear if there's any sort of haven for anyone be it human, varl, dredge, horseborn, or apocalyptic snake. The arc is clearly going to be "things are gonna get worse, until either it ends or it gets better. But you don't know what so you have to press on."

A, you're still mortals but this is a dangerous place to be. Even were it not the literal end of the world you still sleep in shifts and post watches while in hostile territory.

You completely destroyed the entire trilogy in record time, you take all the time you need.

Yeah, even Juno is stumped.



Just...... Why?
The cost of allowing choices in a game is the possibility (probability) that gamers will find a way to more or less stick their metaphorical dick to a blender and set it to puree.
