Seleukos Nikator Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Ah, the glorious moment when waifu #3 gets her first look is truly glorious. Now all that's left is for waifu #1 Kongou to receive hers and I will be a happy captain. Although, I would be a little bit more happy with a Dev Update, just saying...

Legate of Mineta Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Mmmm, juicy, juicy Dev Update. Not just yet, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Käpt'n Korky Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Okay, one thing I talk about sometimes is my fear of the writers going to "easy" on players and story morale. I feel this is an example for it. Option 1: Disapproval - accusing Scharn of Fraud Option 2: Disapproval - accusing Scharn of thievery Option 3: Disapproval - calling Scharn stupid Only Option 3 is not rightout opposing her, just calling her plain and simple, which she doesn't like to be called, thus antagonizing her. There is no real choice and the pretext steals the possibility for any. There is no possibility to approve her action. Or to even turn it to 11, by topping her in some way (which would still be possible with the given pretext). This piece of text is what we call "Moralinsauer" - moralising. And that concerns me in terms of captain development potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's options in this case, but not actual choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Yeah, if it's up to me, I'd like an option to stir the pot. I'll mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will our dialog choices have any effect on the outcome or development of the Belle story and their character development? Or will we just use these to gain extra relationship points with the Belle for the "right" answer? Because if the first is the intention, then I agree that we should have more options on how to react to a Belle's shenanigans, in this case Scharnhorst's scheme, rather that just calling her out and opposing her, as these would open more ways of character development for her and other Belles in general.

Legate of Mineta Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 SN; The Choices are primarily for role-playing (there's no penalty for selecting the 'wrong' option, exactly), although there are some paths that open depending on your answers- generally, these are found in the Nation Stories.

Käpt'n Korky Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 One more thing: No one in Germany knows the term "Ponzi-scheme". So the captain would've to explain it to her. And she would recognize it as some form of "Schneeballsystem" (snowball system). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a fun conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
