What’s your problem with the storyline?

My admin… A second vetex ping has hit the forums…

that wouldn’t make much sense considering his men pillaged and killed dozens of innocents at Mistral.

call me an extremist, but the keraxian plague must be eradicated.

Yes, I do exclusively sink keraxe viking ships, how could you tell?

I dunno, they seem like decent guys.

Are you sure? they literally are called “a war hungry people”

if they want war then I’d be more than happy to mass murder their women and children and render all forms of their culture absolutely blown asunder! :grin:

(I guess this is what genocide is but chances are there is no reasoning with them so I might still be in the right)

(actually in retrospect there’s a lot of reasons as to why this might be a bad idea)

me when i dont understand that the story is told from the player’s perspective and isn’t an anime that will cut to show you things happening across the sea randomly that your player would have no idea of

no he did not lol, if he was killed in combat then it would be well known and the player would have heard of it, he was taken by the grand navy for his crimes against the war seas and thats all you are meant to know for now

if you had to say from a dev’s perspective who would you feel like is currently the most fleshed out and written character for the story overall and who is the least?

(from the pool of characters we have already met)

its not the equivalent of the grand line in the slightest, its constantly raining literal poison there and its full of cannibalistic mutated humans, characters in the story have no reason to go out there unless they’re stupid or so powerful that those things don’t matter to them

he was referring to the treaty specifically here, the Order keeps surface level “peace” but also instigates or causes wars that could benefit them or their goal

Typ I hate to break it to you but genociding an entire country just because their king destroyed a single small port town is a terrible idea

for morden and neviro’s journals specifically, they were made into books because there was never really going to be a good opportunity for them to elaborate on these journeys. If it were an actual written book series, they would probably tell you while you’re on the way to Sameria or something like that, but since its a game its better to do it as findable journals. Otherwise yeah you’re right, the story is told from the perspective of things the player knows and sees

its just because the lore doc was copy pasted into the arcane chronicles book and some parts were left in it by mistake, it was corrected a while ago

if I were to play devil’s advocate… why is that bad exactly?

(besides the creation of a power vacuum)

a ton of people have this impression with lore in general, when they don’t know everything about the story and verse they yell plothole even if its something the player isnt meant to know yet

because you’re genociding an entire fucking country because ONE GUY killed like 23 people.

Typ this isn’t a “devil’s advocate” or “what’s actually BAD about it?” situation this is a "slaughtering an entire country based off the actions of few is morally, logically and logistically bankrupt

I mean morally it might be bad but politically I don’t think anyone would care that much if keraxe is totally gone right?

I actually don’t fully understand how important Keraxe is I think they’re just all like barbarians or something

It would be funny tho (/j)

typ politically literally everyone would be trying to kill you if you can straight up kill an entire country’s population.

Not to mention the fact that at least two countries would go “what the fuck do you not understand the meaning of the word ‘innocents’ go kill yourself if I don’t kill you first”

Uniting the entire war seas via making killing you every kingdom’s common goal would be an extremely funny goal to have.

Actually I’d assume the opposite

most people seem to hate keraxe so if our theoretical vigilante could just… wipe em with XYZ then wouldn’t people be trying to recruit them desperately? that’s a lot of power

and also keraxe can’t pillage anymore places which is nice (though a power vacuum is pretty likely)

morally I don’t think anyone cares lmao

(I dunno why chaos decided to blow up akursius keep and I doubt it was actually chaos that did it but aight)
