Be polite and friendly, but err on the side of being nice to Lorenz. Also, be nice to Piero whenever possible.

whew that was tense. As it should be, given the time, but man… I’m glad I’m not Andreas. Even the pious and proper sort would have been under tons of pressure there, I bet. EDIT/NOTE: Not a complaint! It’s really good historical writing, and we totally asked for it. BassMug fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Mar 13, 2023 |

resurgam40 posted:But it does bear repeating, and students of this time period will be able to articulate why: this stuff? This stuff gets people killed. Part of the tension I was expressing there, though, was that snubbing the local nobility could also get you killed, or have heaps of trouble visited on you and yours. Pious or actively needling the abbot like we were, you’re being squashed between two much more powerful people who can really screw you over. Heck, even declining the whole deal would still be snubbing a powerful person. “The god you don’t touch won’t curse you,” but we were gonna have to touch one either way.

Quorum posted:This is one of those situations where the game tells you what's going on but doesn't fully explain the subtleties-- you have to infer the social dynamics from watching how others react combined with what you know. Here, everybody else involved is sensibly doing their level best to shut the gently caress up and bail on the conversation without pissing off the Baron, even people like Father Thomas who-- although not a landlord or a noble-- has a measure of status and power. Meanwhile our Andreas just yolos on in Lokapala posted:I'm fairly certain there was a lot less random and wanton peasant and/or burgher murder in history than some TV shows want us to believe. Fair enough! I wasn’t complaining, we absolutely asked for it, and we got it (and might still get it, more!) This game’s writing kicks rear end.

what a legend

Aw, there goes all our rear end-kissing. Oh well! And lord, do the meals in this game look tasty. I should save pics of’em when we get to each! Edit: Also, what Quackles said.

Man, I’m glad our Andreas is a relatively benign rapscallion. Some of these alternate dialogues are just cruel.

I like Grett! And since we like the Gertners, let’s maybe hang with them too if there’s time.
