I've been told I was too nice. Closing the votes in 72h, to give people time to reread the monument to my incompetence that is this quest, before making any decisions.

But Martha is scary.
Let's find the death Anchor and play neutral.

"I see. I suppose I should warn you of something, lest I get complaints again. The energy that would allow me to break the contract can also be channeled through those to allow you to take back more with you." Her grimace of dislike made her rather long nose more prominent. " Though, that would mean you would still be bound to her"
Thats sounds bad.

Translating 'Themis' speak:
You can bring back an extra 2 things back but it would use the MP you were planning on using to break Cherry's vassalage. Which means you'd still be Cherry's slave. Which is bad.

Basically, it's the choice to stay with Cherry and go home with two extra shinies.
Which could allow for combos like Dace's memories + Martha + Fertility Necklace.
And maybe enabled him to sell the new-Chibi ingredients if he wanted to.
If we wanted to stay with Cherry, which we don't.
Whelp ive heard good things about you in particular from people dropping me links to this quest so i can look at the garbage fire.
Looking forward to joining in from the beginning!

[X] Plan Find our own Anchor, Martha's coming.
-[X]Yes. Dace will be freed, but in doing so, incur the wrath of his former patron.
-[X] An ally. Depending on how loyal and aware of your history they are, they may or may not come back to you. Their levels will be reset.
--[X] Martha, the loyal maid who killed Riddle in close combat.
-[X] An item. This comes with restrictions:
--[X] The Holy Grail

Stay strong, so long as he get his semi-regular feeding of quest chapters he's...not harmless....distracted?
That works.
Its a CKII style quest tho
I hold myself to a personal standard when it comes to those things. If we're not no-selling enemy Nat 100s then I consider that a personal failure on my part

Don't worry! Our soul is doomed to eternal torment (for 1 turn) no matter what we do now!Its a CKII style quest tho

Sounds fun!
People say you cant dig your way out of a hole in the ground, but Ive always rather liked the idea of a challenge! A lot of wasted opportunities for Intrigue and backstabbing for sure, but who needs perfect information when youve got passable contingencies, am I right?
Worth noting if we take Martha.
She won't be Dace's Lover(at first) and Friends/Employees have different SL benefits than Lovers.
So instead of:
SL3 [Evolved]: Maid service : No need to clean evidence, she'll do it for you. - 10 to enemy investigation against you. This SL cannot degrade due to neglect.
SL6 : Bodyguard crush : 50% chance she deals with any spy or assassin sent after you, even if you don't know of them.
SL9 [Evolved]: With an Iron fist: Allows the building of a combat academy, giving 1000 exp / turn to one chosen unit, giving them one upgrade to a random Combat skill ( one time only)
SL10 [Evolved] : Battlefield Blossom : Any child she bears you will be born with the Basic Combat skill and a bonus of 5 to Martial.
We'd have:
SL3 : Maid service : No need to clean evidence, she'll do it for you. - 10 to enemy investigation against you.
SL6 : Bodyguard crush : 10% chance she deals with any spy or assassin sent after you, even if you don't know of them.
SL9 : With an Iron fist: As long as Martha is around, the chance of rebellion is reduced by 50%
SL10 : Maid of Iron : As long as Martha is with you, she will negate one instance ot your own death.
Mind, she might be planning to become Dace's wife/lover and Elizabeth might push for that again in the next timeline so we could instead opt for something like the Mysterious Necklace(spouse fertility, also powerful Luck/Morale bonuses) or Book of Air Magic(Destroy Undead and other such spells).
Figured it's pertinent info in case you want to cast your vote.

Good luck! With you here we might even be able to go above Very Easy Mode. Maby even... Normal Mode!
Preconceptions are more or less worthless, so I dont put stock in them. I appreciate the effort, but the time to make a basis for comparison is gonna be when the OP goes up and its better to look at that with the freshest eyes possible.
Ofc that's mostly just an excuse to be lazy, even if its still true
Just saying, we're currently determining the kind of loadout Dace starts the New Game+ with.Preconceptions are more or less worthless, so I dont put stock in them.

Speaking of which:
[ ] Plan No Waifu Trauma
-[ ]Yes. Dace will be freed, but in doing so, incur the wrath of his former patron.
-[ ] An item. This comes with restrictions:
--[ ] The Holy Grail
--[ ] Mysterious necklace
In case we don't want Martha to remember being married to Dace and pregnant with his babies after she gets cast back to being his Maid(and to potentially reduce the odds of an Elizabeth miscarriage).
*shrug*
Youre basing your decision on this set up, which is pretty much entirely my point. In your case these are lessons learned being applied, but I never made those decisions so the logic still applies.
Its a crystallization of your reflection on this experience. Ill be fine looking at things as a newcomer.

To be fair, he may even have an edge over you because the reboot will be his first experience with the quest.
Kinda making assumptions here.
I joined turn 6 after the winter update. At which point the ship was already sinking with regards to Oliver's rebellion, Death being a powerhouse, Dumbledore having had horrible luck early game and Cherry doing Cherry stuff to Dace.

So looking at a story with fresh eyes means there will be no chance for old misconceptions and choices to skew decisions, and frankly there won't be any salt towards certain options based on what had been picked before (since some of the setting background has to survive NG+ so this will likely come up).
No reason to get defensive. Its not a criticism, its an explanation of my thought process.
If I were to talk shit about people being responsible for poor decision making, I can assure you that I wouldn't be bothering with veiling my barbs. There'd be a comprehensive breakdown of who to blame and why, complete with quotes to serve as evidence towards the veracity of said shit flinging.
