Re: A Tale of Two Kingdoms (0)
Finished the game, it was really good.
I give it 4 stars, I am right off the bat playing again.
I don't know why the director told me to go for 100% honor and wisdom: I got almost that and probably the best ending: he helps all, becomes a true noble and everything. He saves the princess, as well as makes her future.
Doing the other things might require less the perfect actions to see the other endings rightfully.
So why advocate the same actions only a few things in variation
to get max as far as content or is it just for completionism's sake?
I would have went for the fae friend ending but a couple things stoped me from doing so and saving other for later: referencing the hero as a pet by the dark elf and the fairy queen's response.
I wanted to love her but she not denying the dark elfs words but saying she would, just go on and do it. In effect yes a pet but mind your own affairs.
Second thing, what happen to the guy the wonderful bard was talking about in the beginning of the game: she kept him 300 years as one loved, then booted him out...to die in obscurity and would not let him come home.
Better for him to die in battle than be so dishonored and deceived like a plaything. She even told the hero he reminded her of the guy, she did that too.
If she had truly respected or cared about whitheblade, he would have remained with her as she wished.
I am not sure what is going on with his girlfriend he calls beloved, and she calls him that.
I am confused at there relationship and cant understand what they are to each other. If hes a single man or not.
Its like in part some alternate lifestlyle thing with a straight couple which is odd.
I considered it could be in a little brother big sister sort of thing or a spiritual thing but she dose not seem the type.
I would guess if you held the druids staff to my head, that he is single and she is a platonic soulmate. If that were the case
I would like the pooka for him.
I loved the pooka! Not for her looks but for her words and her manner, she was charming. playful but only as a self amusement, she was doubtless remarkably bright as well. Eccentric and charming. A nice artistic match for such a man.
I was wrong about the bard who seems a elf to me, regardless nether him nor the main character were what I thought them to be. I just had to give the game a chance to find out it was one of the best I ever played.
Do not get me wrong I loved the fae queen for her power elegance and beauty...but not her condescension and her inability to see the potential of the man regardless of what he was. Her assumption that is.
Such is the mark of a lesser mind and one would think not possible in one so old, set to keep things in balance and check as the queen should...if she had a interest to begin with that is.
I admire his consorts loyalty and love however, and if they were in a true romantic relationship I would never suggest he reward such loyalty with betrayal, but as it is, I cannot tell.
Its just odd. She is a odd one, funny though. Her delivery of her lines made me laugh.
That aside I loved this game because it was not a joke.
It was what I wanted, almost kingsquest style. You guys got it.
What happened was almost what I would have had happen. No bending the third wall overly much, that is save estereggs were such belongs. No Saturday morning cartoon stuff.
A real game not a child's joke to cackle at in elementary school.That is the flaw with the new stuff that's vomited out.
In your game anything that was funny was unexpected and there for really funny. I really liked the subtlety as the fae queen would say.
I did not hate the old kings general ether, he was a good solider, a good roman, without the moral decadence of later years.
If you catch my drift, a man to inspire confidence among his men, and a feelings of safety and security among the citizenry.
He would probably have rather died than commit what he felt was a dishonorable act.
He sought only for the safety and glory of his empire and his emperor.
He was simply on another side, and there are two sides to everything. One must consider the times.
The king may have made some dishonorable choices, perhaps but his general was not a evil man. Though not fit to be a king himself in my view.
That said I understood perfectly how the lady (I cant spell her name she with whiteblade) felt concerning her homeland, and why she did and felt what she did.
It could have been no other way for her, her reaction was completely natural. There was much noble in her in another way, no less valid.
I sympathized with many of the characters for many reasons taking into account there stories and personalities as well as current situation.
Even the princess was a remarkable woman...to be so objective given the situations, in her interactions with lord whiteblade. She seemed worthy to be a queen. She was a beautiful being as well.
Even the villains were sort of innocent in a way. I truly love that, its like a breath of fresh air for me given the current state of mainstream media.
Something honest, that was not totally sick and sad and/or pathetic and disillusioned,and full of silly propaganda, in short...good art.
The goblins, not really as bad as all that simply a type of primitive culture that had some honor, clearly confused.
There leader, of the goblins, was no idiot as one would at first think. They were not monsters. More like klingons to be honest...only a bit more reasonable if slightly less intelligent overall, as a people.
The apprentice was charming as well she reminded me of bebedora from arch of the lad twilight of the spirit in a way.
I see why one would save her. She seemed very principled as well, if she had any flaw you could chalk it up to youth. A total innocent, not marked by a lack of intellect which is what makes this actually so.
Lord Whiteblade would have had to have been a monster to have harmed her being as intelligent as he was...then let her wizard master harm her. Nope, not a valid option.
His consort did not understand this, not because she is a fool, but because of her very nature.
The lady more than makes up for certain things with her, fire, love and loyalty.
