Romance Of The Three Kingdoms Quest

[X] Wipe out the bandits first, then try to convince him more.
-[X] Send a messenger with a letter to Mei after the battle:
Practice is the path to martial valor and excellence. It is well to practice. And yet, what good are the fruits of such practice if they are not put to use serving a noble cause? The sharpest sword in the world is nonetheless useless if it cannot be withdrawn from it's scabbard. It is said that a wise bird chooses its branch--a wise servant, his master. I do not begrudge you your caution. Any further words I say will be meaningless so let my future deeds speak for me. I am Li Jian, student of Huangfu Song and Commander of Hu Lao Gate. For years, Liang has been bruised by the corrupt and now it is bloodied by bandits and opportunists. I will wash it clean. If you decide you wish to aid the people and become a pillar of the nation, then join me at anytime, I will be happy to welcome you wherever I am.

If we can actually get a message to him, I'll support this.
If we have a fight with him, those bandits might get word that Li Jian is "back".
 
I really, really, really like this.

    Whats our ideal number of trusted officers? We cant have too many nor can we have too few.

    This quest was supposed to only have one OC, us. Adding more feels cheap to me. There are an incredible amount of characters in ROT3K, enough that there is no need for OC's, but instead here we are.

    Cheap? It feels cheap that you feel that Romance of the Three Kingdoms, even with all of the characters listed, doesn't have a lot more unlisted. It's a big China, and it's filled with people.

    It would depend on the number of troops we got. I'd say we got enough for now until we found our own faction although I would've preferred the next officer to be a strategist.

    And if they were people that would have made a difference then they would have, instead the argument seems to be that since the place was large then they could have existed even when there is no historical evidence that shows it.

    In that case, what's stopping us from adding a master strategist, or as many warriors and generals so that we don't take the other factions', but that is just plain unfair.

    People don't just rise to power magically or become great men purely through force of will.

    Circumstance plays more than a small part, there are people who become heroes simply because of who they were born to, and others still who were simply in the right place at the right time.

    Our very existence is going to change the world, simply by how our actions influence things. We ended the Yellow Turban rebellion early, this Man could easily have been someone who died in the original time line from the rebellion dragging on.

    I mean, ultimately we could be killed in the next battle by cutscene arrows. We probably won't because it'd be a cheap way to end the Quest, but even the strongest fighter (short of Lu Bu) dies if they're surrounded. So yeah, plenty of people have probably died already who were 'too good' not to have had an impact if they lived.

    And yet Dong Zhou had wound up living long enough to fuck everything up for everything.

    Exactly. Fact of the matter is, if everything stayed static despite the changes we're making, it would be a blatant case of bad writing for not taking consequences into account.

    Your argument has merit, and maybe I overreacted due to my inherent dislike for OC's.

    Let's see where this takes us then.
