Hey, thanks for the reply! I hope my comments didn't come off as rude, since I really like your writing and the way you give so many options and paths.
So you can't really refuse him while still doing the seemingly right options, meaning it's forced. I'm gonna assume it's a bug or something unintended.
You can say no, but ultimately, even if you get the other two on your side, which neither of them would want to say no to the first decision of a united army, you still somehow don't get the majority. This means you have to go with the duke's demands no matter what if you want the united army.
Hey, posting here from Steam. Not very happy with the Duke's demands being forced. If you want the good options, it kinda ruins the whole good route. It has always been a choice before if you want Sarah to go down a corruption option, so it seems kinda sudden for it to be a forced choice.
