[X] Plan VanRopen
--
So far, I am surprised to admit that I'm leaning towards Cerenna over Margaery, although that may be because I worry about what might happen if we try to ally with the Tyrells only to get caught between them and Dornish Dragonsworn. Spending time with the Lannisters in general should let us keep loose tabs on Joffrey and "his" Lannisters while staying in the good graces of those few decent lions. Taking the favor gives us a leg up with Cerenna, although if we
don't wear it later it would be better to have just not taken it rather than leading her on falsely. Spending time with the Redwynes and the Hightower funeral gives us some synergy to touch base with the Tyrells, although it's not the focus actually picking them for an action would be, and lets us build and maintain our good ties with those two houses and possibly get another in-road to Tyrell.
I'm not all that thrilled at spending time with Bobby B, but it does let us feel out his plans and attitude, which should give us an idea of the order of magnitude the fallout of the reveal will generate, whether it will spark a full blown civil war, and possibly influence it in our favor somewhat.
This...would need a longer explanation than I'm willing to write at the moment.
But to make a comparison, we all know that longer quests grant better rewards while easy solutions tend to backfire/be suboptimal.
I actually have this horrific sinking sensation from time to time, it's telling me that both Cerenna and Margaery are actually well-concealed bad ends and the only safe choice is Desmera. I'm ignoring it because it's dumb, but I cannot help but feel it would be hilarious if it were true.
Edit: and then i went and changed my vote. Hoh wellz.
