I love both of the horrid royal siblings to death but something that's been nagging me really hard is, why can we get a good romance ending with Gisette, but not with Jarrod? There's a route where we try to befriend and deprogram him but it doesn't really go anywhere unless you aim for the Absolute Golden Ending and not get with him in any shape or form, even politically.
I kind of get that his route is supposed to be a twist on the 'taming the bad guy' romance trope, but it feels like a bit of a 'fuck you' given we can play it straight with his sister who's arguably much, much more dangerous. Jarrod is one of the youngest delegates on the island, not particularly smart and indoctrinated to hell and back, but still seems receptive to change if you know how to play him. It's hard for me to see someone like him as irredeemable the way he ends up portrayed in the game. Gisette meanwhile is a cunning and unapologetic plotter who didn't think twice about trying to get us killed, and yet we can get her to soften up and defrost. Isn't she just as big of a risk relationship-wise? Why do we only get punished if we try to get in with her brother?
also ftr I know the poly ending exists but poly's an acquired taste esp given the mild incest vibes in that route
Right at the end of Blain's route there's a bit of a contradiction. At the scene where you board your ship, it says that since he has no lands of his own, he's going to come with you and you're going to be head of household, but in the personal epilogue you go to Corval instead.
