Discussion thread for Episode 2. Spoilers for ALL routes are fair game, so read at your own risk!

(+5)

I'm really curious to learn what Aeran and Varyn saw at the spire. Could it be connected to why Aeran is not included in the main romance? TuT

(+8)

Aeran angst was not something I knew I needed in my life. It hurts. It hurts so good. ToT

(+7)

I love Aeran's character so much he makes me  so conflicted and unsure how to treat him. That argument at the end of the episode is top tier angst, i love it so much. Also, i was so ready to let my MC spend the night with Veyer but i replayer with a totally different character and found out he was against letting wayfarers in the city and now i am absolutely holding a grudge.

(+1)

May I ask where and when exactly you can find Vayer?

(1 edit)

you can find them when you're walking around after the fight with aeran, they're one of the people you can choose to talk to and they're on the eastern gallery if i'm not mistaken

thank you <3

(+1)

After the fight with Aeran, you can choose to talk to Veyer, Mel or Phaedra. But i believe you can only do that if you are not drunk and you can only meet Veyer specifically if you have impressed them during the meeting with Lethalis. Hope this helps! 

(+1)

ah thank you sm! I met only Phaedra and Mel only in my previous gameplay.

How can you impress Veyer in the meeting? I didn't even know meeting them was an option 👀👀

It's during the meeting with Lethalis but i don't know what are the exact choices. The discord server can probably help you tho if you are interested. There is a whole channel there for gameplay help.

(+4)

watch my mc stay in velantis solely bc of melchior!!! im obsessed with him

(+5)

I'm devastated to find out that Aeran's not a LI :sob: I only read that recently even though MC and him are SouL MaTEs

(+2)

Wait, what?! But Aeran has a romance bar in his profile. Where did you read this? If this is true, this hurts me on so many levels, but also makes me not feel slightly guilty that I spent time with Veyer.

(+2)

The author has a list of romancable characters on their tumblr page and Aeran is not on it. The reason is spoiler, apparently :)

(+3)

Ahhh, my heart, it hurts! I was so wanting to go down the path of Aeran as my main romance, guess I'll go down the Veyer or Melchior path or one of the characters we don't know yet if they interest me more than those two. But I'm still sad about Aeran.

(+4)

I'm so confused! my MC slept with him at the end of the last episode and now he's not a LI?  'cry' 

Not all companion characters are LI but there are characters that are not part of the main gang yet can be romanced. There also will be characters with whom you can just flirt with or have one night stands with, without them being really LIs.  So yeah, just because you can sleep with someone, they might not be romancable. 

(+4)

aeran is such a well rounded character and the angst was something I didn't know id enjoy 

(+1)

Can't get over yeeeet! I need moooOOooReee

(+3)

actually heartbroken that aeran isn't a love interest. :sob: im a sucker for childhood friends turned lovers.. melchior please heal my shattered soul!!

(+2)

this game is so bad for my heart. I swear Aeran is going to end up killing me with angs

ahhhhhasjskfbjsjfs arean angst that i wasnt ready for. almost kissed someone else:( dont worry i would never cheat on arean.

So is there a reconciliation path for Aeran near the end of this? If so, how do you get it? I literally have tried everything and Aeran always tells me to leave.

you have to have high friendship or high romance with him. i think over 60?

Developer(+1)

You have to have either:

  • Romance reconciliation: +60 approval and +60 romance.
  • Friendship reconciliation: +60 approval and 0 romance. 

If you have +60 approval and a few romance points, you will not be able to trigger either reconciliation scene. You also cannot have told Aeran about the letters (if you found and read them) and you cannot have killed Rhodarth in Episode 1.

Am I doing the romance options wrong? I only get like 15 romance points total by the end of episode 2 with Aeran.

Developer

Try failing your skill checks and getting knocked out during the boss fight. ;)

(+1)

Tried reconciling, ended up sleeping with him (woops) /pos

Can I ask how you were able to do that? I’m maxed out on romance points but I’m doing something that’s not allowing me to trigger the scene lol

You have to decline sleeping with the water guy (forgot what they were called) and you cannot be drunk

Thank you so much!

As you get more romance points? , literally what I get more are friendship points. In total I have only 27 romance points (Adding those of chapter I and II). 

Developer

Getting knocked unconscious and almost dying in Episode 1 will give you +60 romance points. 

Ask how do you see the romance points? , as far as I know I only get friendship points, I guess, and I do not know if it is fault of the game or the place where I am playing ith. The romance and the friendship points are they added together or in two different bars?

It's supposed to be 2 different bars. You can only see the romance one if you choose the 4th option when meeting Aeran for the first time (you are friends and you are partners). Otherwise the romance bar stays hidden.

(1 edit)

Thanks for the information :D

I checked again and if I had choose 4. Option, and I did, so I don't know because it doesn't show me the bar, I'm sad and frustrated bro  TuT

It could be a error or something? 

Developer

When Aeran is introduced in Episode 1, you have to select the option:

#4. You are friends and you are partners. You can’t imagine this life without him at your side. Though nothing romantic has happened between you, you can’t help but wonder…

This is the only chance you have in the game to flag his romance.

If you are playing on an old save (from before Patch 2.6., which required all players to restart their playthroughs), then his romance bar will not show up. 

I think it's more for that, I will need to load or see your publish about the patch , thank you so much for the help.

Note: I really love the writing style and the introduction to this world, in every suspense moment I thought I was living it myself is fantastic as how to know to handle suspense and surprises, you have an excellent job between your hands. (If I'm incorrect with something is because I'm not native of english, I'm learning about the language) 

(+1)(-1)

Would be nice to have "Hates forced pacts and tries to break every one of them" in Principles and Beliefs. Or "Never breaks a promise even if it is coerced" :)

By the way, Phaedra is my love at first sight. Don't know why, she is probably only an episodic character and MC has no future with her, but still.  At least I flirted with her :)

(3 edits) (+4)(-2)

If Aeran seriously stays not an LI, I'll lose interest in this. Cause currently he IS my LI. -_- Considering my luck with characters I love though, they tend to either be evil...or die. Great...bet it'll be the latter for Aeran.

(+2)

I found out about this today, I'm really sad about it, but I think that i'll write a fanfic and be happy about this... and go for Ren, or another character. The game is too good, this break my heart the same way the Dragon age origin Dalish elf start did. But I'm  sad... Aeran is too great, he remember me for another characters but with his personal touch. 

(1 edit)

I really hope I'll be able to have a romance route with Aeran in the future, I like how casual he and the MC are!

True, i love the angsty between him and my mc. I even made him my mc's first time lover 😭.

SAME DUDE

(+2)

WAIT Aeran is not romanceable? Well guess my friends-to lovers heart will just perish, anyways 

The chapter broke my heart, I can feel both MC and Aeran feelings and how they both just want a better life, and holy, I will miss Aeran dearly if he leaves MC side someday, He is my MC comfort after their mentor's death.

My MC family is shitty and found family is my fave trope, even if Aeron may or not be romanceable i still want him to be on MC life ya know? 

I love Aeran and hate him so muccchhh shiiit, i feel disappointed he's not a love interest 😭😭😭. I wanna keep him so bad 🔥

Agreed, I'm still going to try for him hard though.  XD

WHAT DO YOU MEAN..... don't tell me he's going to die!!!  Plsssssss..... Aeran is my man. Heart shall be shattering shortly

Love the game btw!  The argument at the end got me all teary eyed seeing him so upset and hurt.  

can someone pls tell me the first answer and how to get it to show?

“Let me through, MC,” he says. “I’m tired.”

1. Conditional story requirements have not been met.

2. You can’t let him go. Not like this. You have to—need to—repair your friendship. You can’t face what’s coming without him.

3. Let him go.

Pretty sure the first answer can be achieved by getting a high romance score with him <3

the bond and romance are more than 90% (after the ending that u sleep w him after he apologizes) so it might not be it

Ohhhh, ok! Sorry mb it's been a while since I've played the game lmao

dw :D

Developer

The #1 option here requires you to have found and read his private letters in Episode 1 (or when you first reach the palace in Episode 2, but the option there is more easily accessed when you have low approval). 

i couldn't find the letters (english is not my first language and sometimes i lose myself in the middle of the story, so sorry if this is dumb

Does anyone know how to find Aeran's letters? I've been trying to for a while but I can't figure out how ;-;

In Ep 1, you need to get injured by Kane and then go to Edgewater and decide to go home and rest. There you'll have the option to go through Aeran's stuff.
In ep 2, you need to piss Aeran off before the gala so he leaves by the time  you get dressed.Then you can go into his room and snoop.

(+1)

Lovely game. Thankful that I get to read it. This is also my first time knowing that Aeran is not an LL 😱.  The possibilities of what will happen to him... Thinking of the implications makes me a bit sad. Well, it's part of the story. 

I just tried to reload a "Save to Disk" Save and... figured it doesn't work like I thought it would. 

Maybe you could rephrase that button to "Alternate Safe" or "Manual Safe"? At the moment it totally seems like a backup option of the 6 save slots above. 

And I just lost all of my progress because of that. ._.' That's over 60hrs playtime and 3 OCs lost. Now I'm really sad. I really wanted to try out diffrent story lines but I will not replay everything from the start.

Developer

I'm sorry you lost your saves. Unfortunately the name can't be changed as it's part of the engine and isn't editable. It's a core part of how SugarCube functions and all Twine SugarCube games work like this. Browser saves and Save to Disk saves are separate entities; as outlined in the Troubleshooting Game Launch & Save Errors guide, Save to Disk only saves your current session on the passage you are currently on. If you are backing up browser saves, you need to load each save and save them individually, it cannot be done en masse.  

Thank you for the reply. I didn't know about the problem the engine. Maybe you could add the info about how the saves work in the tutorial? At the start of the game when the save functions are pointed out maybe? I found a lot of other players with the same issue and maybe that problem could be easily prevented somehow. Thank you for this really nice experience, I did enjoy spending time with "Wayfarer" alot. :)

I LOVE THIS GAMEE OMG <333 thank you for making this, i'm so very glad i got to read it, i'm really interested in romancing mel AAAAA

just read that Aeran isnt a love interest and im going to implode (next time im playing my mc is going to get WASTED at the gala <3)

hoping he becomes one cause I devoted too much time to that man 😭

real

(1 edit)

I really hope Aeran is like a secret LI or becomes a LI cause I don’t think I can cope otherwise 😭😭😭 (that wait and see is not looking good 😬)

everyone’s complaining about aeran possibly not being a love interest and here i am knowing my fave will never even have the slightest chance at being one… Sabien Quirinus c’mere i’ll switch sides for you <3 the mc’s interactions with him are few and far between but i thoroughly enjoyed every word of it
