should arcane odyssey have a storyline branch similar to deltarnue weird route? (the player uses unethical methods to force iris to be strong early, then skip a piece of the story)
  • yes, let us commit crimes most horrible
  • same as above but less bad
  • dude wtf are you talking about

if you want branching storyline, what do you want a branch to be?
  • player joins the aesir order
  • fights the abberation instead of restoring the dark sea
  • other (specify(haha comment bait))

a pool

die in a fire.

4

not if I have a pool

5

you know elden ring’s frenzy flame ending?
I think it’d be neat if we just had the option to burn everything to the ground

6

Sightseeker route
Inevitable end of everything
Greatest creator of all
Higher the forgiving chaos
There, everything and nothing

Btw pool’s second option remind me of DOOM

7

cazal get the fuck out of my topic

8

now that i think of it, i should’ve added another branching storyline option of “player meets secret npc each chapter and regains memories”

time to copy Cazal

Also perhaps there could be a point where Morden realizes that we are effectively not the same person he once knew before getting away from the order thanks to being hit on the head, and he might try to take Iris with him when he goes to leave us as much as it may hurt him mentally to do so.

Perhaps it could also cause a spike in our ruthlessness afterwards, leading to more violence, and our bounty raises story wise from the excessive use of violence, maybe a 2nd kingdom de-throned?

maybe when planned to return to bronze, Morden and iris would have gone ahead of us to get Neviro as we start to become a person that will be feared more and more across the war seas

on paper itd be cool problem is AO as an rpg is grindy as fuck and im not doing several slots for all that

12

what if i’d say there is an iris dating route?

13

what does :heart: Proceed do

14

what could have possibly gave you the idea that that would interest me

15

:heart: dont worry about it

16

I’ve been slowly boiling a sort of Weird Route where you get to Ravenna together with Morden and manipulate him into killing people

17

make silas and iris drown temselves, to make the player quickly get to the abberation, which turns out to be silas’ past and original self, and the silas we play as is but a clone with defective memory

18

bad shit

19

there is no doubt that a branching storyline would make the story much more enjoyable to play through multiple times but the issue is the story ALREADY takes ages to get updates, this would just make it take too long

i think the closest we will get to a branching storyline is the appearance of certain characters if we choose to be merciful, like Elius or Carina

The fact that Iris is stronger than player is pretty nice :smiley:
