I think that's the best possible outcome of that scenario, actually. Are you sure people aren't referring to the 'boss fight' duel at the end?

I didn't find it to be too sad... yeah, bad things happen sometimes, but generally they're happening to you, so I didn't get that empathy-by-proxy effect. And it's very much a game, which at least for me tends to diminish the emotional effects of the narrative -- I'm too busy reloading my last save ...

You have to unlock hunting... by raising horsemanship, I think? Also you need to hunt while angry or I don't think it counts.

Hunting was also part of my successful 'evil minion' playthrough, so it's definitely worth trying.

I got it! I actually didn't do it that way, though. Possibly any outcome to that scenario that Banion doesn't like would do it, combined with a general lack of awesome rulership (I was trying for 'vote of no confidence' at the time.)

If you get the rebellion after you've gotten her to come to the palace. It happens before you can go to the forest.

I don't doubt it... I just suspect it involves playing near-perfectly. I'm quite content with my ill-gotten 'romantic' ending -- thanks!

So... how do I challenge someone to a duel? (And please tell me it's Banion )

I'd like the cheat codes too, please and thank you.

Argh. Now I've had my little adventure (which was great, especially the unexpected skill check at the end), but in the process of preparing, I kinda underprepared for the boss. I'm sure there was some overshoot on some of my checks, but without knowing which ones, I'm honestly not sure how to tackle...

Assuming I can ever get them to run off and have an ill-advised adventure together, I'll probably ship Elodie/Briony. It seems like a more romantic start to a relationship than most. Though the pastry chef sounds kind of adorable.

I don't know, I wouldn't say I'm a fan of frustrating games, and I definitely consider LLTQ to be money well spent. If you approach it with the understanding that you are going to die the first few (dozen? :lol:) times, and consider losing to be 'part of the game,' I don't think it's frustrating. Sa...

Thanks for the tip! Now all I need to do is prevent civil war so I don't have to use poor Briony as a bargaining chip...

I have to say, the more I play, the more I appreciate how carefully plotted and well balanced this game is.

Really? I maxed my Novan history too, since I thought there was a check for that... I didn't see it this time around, though. Huh.

This I need to see.
