I'm not speaking with you as an example, since you were one of his examples. I'm saying that it is okay to deviate from the narrativist style of play that was being advocated for, and that many people do.

True, but frequently the deviations from one's intended course are precipitated by the twin offerings of achievements and experience. Acting only with regard to what's most immediately appealing and viable might yield the most genuine experience, but in all likelihood it would be a less holistically consistent narrative than one than that was envisioned beforehand.

Still, incoherence is a risk of the medium, and I don't know that anybody has the authority to make definitive statements about what is or is not 'okay' to play. Such things are inherently subjective.

Only inasmuch as one is capable of exerting incentive structures over styles of play. My point was that I would not dis-incentivize the style I described, because I don't think it's coming from a place of bad intentions.

What kind of personality does Odyssius have at the end of the war anyway?

He's probably like canon Odyssial but not quite as hardcore, since he's younger and less experienced.
 
I suppose it is time to accept defeat then, overcoming a 200% vote lead on arguments alone is not feasible.

Eh, I actually think it's happened before. I vaguely recall some vote in a previous Rihaku quest that was actually quite outnumbered, but won anyway by merit of arguments.

Though I wouldn't get your hopes up, sorry. =/
 
So both the social links and lord strategies went through and so we should be at H8 now and still a distance from a million and change xp. But that last xp count is over 24 hours old now and it should be a bit higher now. There were also at least two more epochs mentioned so next update covering one of them ensures one more before end of prelude.

We're talking about how Uryū's adventure did not necessarily have to be Uryū's adventure; there was passionate and extensive argumentation for the Shinigami option, which narrowly lost. Some of us are still carrying the grudge around.

The one peril of Rihaku quests: They heavily encourage passionate arguments and attachment to votes, and the quality of Rihaku's writing means that the lost opportunity hurts all the more.

I'm not actually still upset about it, but it's fun to whine about. The only reason I haven't been bringing up people voting against Past Lives (N/A) is because it would be rude.
 
I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but where is everyone getting the latest information for the 3rd edition, since some of the things that some people have been talking about has been lost on me.
