Gaining Reputation through Wealth, Question

[shoryuspam]

So I recently saw in a guide that if you attain 10 Wealth, you will trigger a series of events that max out Reputation:

'If you have 10 Family Wealth, there is a decision that grants Reputation. This can lead to a chain reaction that allows you to gain enough Reputation for the next events to kick in (10 Reputation).'

(https://guides.magicgameworld.com/the-life-and-suffering-of-sir-brante-tips-secrets/)


I tried to trigger this 'chain reaction' but haven't been able to. Would anyone know what this guide is talking about? is the chain reaction just referring to the gala's little bump in Reputation, or does the gala actually trigger a sub-story where you gain a lot of Rep?

I should also say that I ended up adopting Gloria and gaining the black mark of dishonor, in case that affects the 'chain reaction'.

If you max out wealth you get event to:
Expand the house (+1 unity)
hosting a gala (1+ reputation) - i think this is what they are talking about
Expand a library (1+ to all stars)

I don't really know what this chain reaction refers to, but Klozen nails the immediate effect of 10 Wealth. The guide author could mean that if you set up the playthrough correctly, certain requirements to become sword nobility may be filled by the time the event completes. Also, adopting Gloria basically means that you're sacrificing the ability to rank up to be a decent human being. So good on you for being a nice guy, but bad on you for missing out on inheritable nobility.

Got it, the author made it sound like 10 Wealth set off a series of story events that auto maxes out Reputation. Guess they just got the wording a little off. Thanks guys!

So just curious about this detail of adopting Gloria, could I ask if becoming a true noble leads to better endings (i.e. peace with the overseer, and the other less extreme endings).

In all my playthroughs up to this point, I could never manage to get Peace with the Overseer, so curious to know if becoming a noble is part of the process.

AFAIR you have to be enobled by the sword to choose one of the options requered to reach peace. When assembling forces you need it to draw nobles to your side.

yeah you need to be an ass and not let gloia in to the family if you want the good ending to the story. i like it, i like the dilemma the author put you though where you have to choose between moral and result.

to be honest i had to replay chapter 4 a few times due the the rep block from accepting gloria you would think having family unity allow you to move forward easier right, well yes to a certain extend but social status is also important.

Yeah, I was especially miffed when the ending slides for me had the whole family pretty much either KIA or sorta destitute. I incorrectly equated "Unite the Family" with "The family will now stick together to through thick and thin."
