TheBadMercifulEnding

We cut to both Peacekeeper and Odysseus sitting down on a mountain near sunset

Peacekeeper: So how would you say things turned out

Odysseus: Honestly I enjoyed it all I’ve seen so many sights

Flashback of the many islands that have been visited

Peacekeeper: we’ve had many hardships

Flashback to the dark seas

Odysseus: and lots of friends and allies

Odysseus reminisces about Morden Tucker Iris Neviro and Warren

Peacekeeper reminisces about Theos Freedrock Averill Trigno and Arthur

Peacekeeper: So many battles

Flashback of Peacekeeper fighting Durza and Odysseus taking down the order of Aesir

Odysseus: I can gladly say this adventure

Peacekeeper: This odyssey

Peacekeeper and Odysseus at the same time: Was truly ARCANE!

Roll the credits

so what would the good ruthless ending be?

Writing

the same until reminiscing about the battles, where instead of the ‘odyssey’ part, the PK uses the absorption curse to take away the MC’s powers and would say:
"Unfortunately for you, your Arcane Adventure is now over. " before they impale the MC with the dagger Theos gave them at the start, bringing an end to the tyranny of the MC.

I have been thinking about it and there will be two routes ruthless endings

…that doesn’t sound like a very good Ruthless ending

well, it’s good for outsiders
you as the player have caused a lot of trouble in the game, starting various wars and stuff.

yea but the merciful route also caused those wars so I don’t get how this was a really good ending for anyone

you did murder a bunch of people for barely any reason as ruthless

(tbh I kinda just wanted to have the PK kill the mc for doing the complete opposite to ‘keeping peace’)

so far every person we’ve killed was a bad person and I have a feeling that pattern is gonna continue

AKA we seem to have reasons for doing so

Btw what stat build wold you all consider the peacekeeper

Savant (You could have 3 magics, 3 weapons and one fighting style in AA)

Do you think it would be possible for peacekeeper to possess a spirit weapon of some kind

OP can’t stop writing peak
cooking.peak

I doubt that they both will be happy in the end. Description of the game itself says that in the end we are questioning on what our true purpose in this world is. I guess that ending will put big question for players in the end or atleast make feeling of that.

Some sort of uncertainity. Its also would match main theme in some way.

maybe they find one after defeating Durza? Idk

There are 4 ways I see PK getting a spirit weapon

  1. A rhetcon where Theos is actually a Paladin and either his gauntlet or staff is a spirit weapon
  2. When Prometheus is defeated by Theos PK finds a spirit weapon on Prometheus dead body
  3. Your idea where PK finds one after beating Durza
  4. Or PK makes his own spirit weapon just by being overpowered

I guess this makes the most sense

So I’d assume they’re abilities were something like this

MC
Magic1: Lightning(Confirmed) Maybe later on becomes lost so probs like Aether Lightning
Magic2: Water(Awakened because of Poseidon) or maybe ice or snow if they use sailor style
Fs: not sure or he doesn’t get water magic and instead uses sailor style
Weapon1: Bow(Odysseus once use a bow)
Weapon2: Triasta of Bronze(Maybe looted Calvus)
Spirit Weapon: Eagles Patrimony

PK
Magic1: Most like Phoenix in honour of Theos
Magic2: not sure most likely an original AA magic so either Shadow Light Earth or Wind or a Fore synergy such as Ash or Explosion
Fs: best guess would be an original AA FS that isn’t lost so Basic Boxing or Cannonball fist
Weapon1: not sure (Maybe Sword)
Weapon2: not sure (Maybe Gun)
Spirit weapon: Perhaps something from Prometheus dead body
