No, welfares don't give Rare Prisms. Only 4*s rolled from the gacha can do that. (and 5*s too if people really wanna burn 'em.)

I actually laughed out loud when I was reading the translation of Tristan's interlude which we'll likely get in two years where Gawain and Mordred are talking and they're joking about some incident and it's strongly implied that the thing they're laughing about is the point in Mordred's rebellion where Gawain is slain by her. And they just laugh it off as a Knights of the Round Table joke. Like, what?

The KotRT are the best, and even though I want Lancelot Saber over any of the rest of them, I'll be perfectly happy with any of them.

I mean I think at this point we can definitely say that Arturia made some questionable decisions as king.

Also I've just realized that I've actually got a saberface now, with Santa Alter. I probably should confine her to the Second Archive before she starts multiplying.

Not really? I mean, the entire point of Artoria's issues, and the whole Lancelot and Mordred messes, is that she was effectively a robot as king, making the optimally best decisions for everything, emotions be damned. Mordred was not, and never would be, suitable king material, so in that sense Artoria was never going to recognize her as an heir - it was simply illogical. Mordred throwing a giant bloody tantrum over the issue kind of validates the point too, even if some banal platitudes earlier on might have headed it off, or at least delayed it.

So it's not that she made questionable decisions, so much that not everyone under her could take the same emotionless viewpoint, even as they recognized the value of them.

yeah idk why that brat had a metldown because the one person she'd ever loved rejected her completely. how immature.

even if she couldn't recognize her as heir, just treating mordred like a person would have solved it. that's the entire point of the fall of camelot and artoria's faults - her actions were flawed from the beginning because she never once considered how people feel, even though how people feel is something that motivates them and causes them to do things far more than any kind of objective logic. failing to recognize that basic fact means every decision she makes is wrong.

On the contrary, she made the perfect and emotionaless machine decision. The best choice as a king who serve. A choice that isolate her from others who can only see her as perfect and righteous figure. What She failed was being a father and a husband, that’s why her wife and son are the one who betrayed him. Plus lancerlot because wasted waifu is a shame.

Except, as Crusader Kings taught us, managing the interpersonal relations of your vassals is 90% of the job of an early middle age king.

Good thing the original post was about her making poor decisions as a king then. Which she didn't, because the absolute last thing you want in a ruler is making their decisions due to emotions. She was literally the perfect king. As a person though, of course Artoria was massively flawed, in that she was incapable of separating out how she acted as a king and how she acted as a person - though the two biggest decisions relating to her personal life also requiring answers that involved her authority as a ruler certainly didn't help (Mordred in general and Lancelot's betrayal).

And funny thing about Mordred, her entire worship of Artoria was tied into Artoria being the "perfect king," and how Mordred was clearly her worthy successor. Or, to toss in a quote, "While not a proper human being, sharing the same blood as the King, being the "son" of a superior king, she was proud of the fact that she was not human. She felt that in name, reality, mind, and body that she was fit to be the true successor of the King of Knights." So, given Mordred's extremely volatile and mercurial temper, in fact any kind of acknowledgement of her that didn't include "and you're totally worthy of being my heir too," would be an extremely fine line to tread to not trigger her anger, even without Artoria's own emotional issues.

Extella uses Artoria too. They mentioned that they were essentially forced to use Altria by the higher ups despite having told them that she is much more familiar to westerners as Artoria too. It is a pretty weird decision by them and I wonder if they'll ever change it.

Holy moley, I got lost in the wiki for Fate for a while because I was lead to look up Fate/strange fake stuff because of Enkidu, and woooow, Gilgamesh has a noble phantasm that is just "I see everything ever and know everything you are about to do, gently caress you, I win", which apparently isn't even a physical noble phantasm, but his mind itself transformed into a NP. God, Gilgamesh just gets wanked to infinity by Type-Moon.
