Pfft, obviously my disguise would be way better. It'll start out by saying that shipping doesn't belong in a CKII Quest and go downhill from there.
Well. We will need some subjects to demonstrate Mathildes Abomimatrix Transformation on.
Probably because they think it would be fun and honestly, nothing wrong with that.
At the end of the day, it's still a story. Don't equate real life morality to it.
Simulating bad things happening to people still isn't most folk's cup of tea, and protesting U-turning into being the one doing it to them isn't exactly an unreasonable position.
IMO that vote seems more like a search for immortality and power rather than simply becoming a necromancer. It says absolutely nothing about how we achieve that and what we do with that power. People think it's fun to accomplish something and become great and powerful, nothing about causing misery to others.
I always find it interesting to push magic to completly new and unexplored horizons.
The whole idea behind the vote is attempting not to go into any afterlife.
I think the motivation would be worded differently if it was just becoming great and powerful. Like, becoming the second Teclis or something. Generally speaking, you don't bring up being like a great villain unless you mean morally too, especially when they've got good counterparts.
The afterlife is a win state. Like, it rocks there. All our friends are there, and all the friends we've yet to meet.
I can't speak for anyone else, but to me the option has appeal because I've always had a weak-spot for the "hero falls to villainy for the sake of a loved one and/or their ideals" storyline, and its one that I rarely get to see unfold from the hero's point of view. You can even see it in my voting trends in general, whenever the love interest that I ship gets in danger or the MC might need help to meet again, I start turning towards the darker options when possible. It might not have a happy ending for Mathilde, but that doesn't mean it can't make for a good tragedy (and given the dice-based nature of this Quest, I don't believe the Bad End is technically locked in), There's even a chance someone like Anton or Kasmir would figure out what Mathilde was doing and try to pull her back, interesting storylines that will never come if we don't take that first step.
Drama and tragedy are among the oldest and most respectable kinds of stories.
That's a thing?
God, singular, AFAIK. Morr maintains the afterlife for non-important people. Proper burial rites of Morr ensure the soul travels there and make the body immune to necromancy.
And the Nehekaran afterlife, if that's still in operation, perhaps?
Regular folks stick around as undead if they don't get safe passage, so it's not like 40K where they usually just dissolve.
Might be the same guy. Nagash beats up the Nehekharan god of death, and then Morr isn't around anymore, which is rather suspicious.
? Is that in Mathildes past or future? (Not a WH novel reader)
End times, so might not be canon.
Look, if you guys know how we can come back with a power boost after dying in the depths as is our likely fate, I'm all ears.
Worst, or best?Hey, the worst that can happen is they kill themselves trying to figure out the swords!
Didn't Nagash ultimately become more powerful with his resurrections?
Become a Qhaysh daemon, ala the Wisdom's Asp? With enough study, the Asp's blood/liquefied remains and the Liber Mortis it seems possible as an end game.
