Favourite Characters

[Godfang]

So, now that everyone has played the game and gotten to know the characters better, I was wondering, who are your top 3 favourite characters? I'm really curious as to how people perceive the characters I wrote, do they match what I had in mind? Did they come across as something else entirely?

My three favorite characters would be Isaac, Ylianne and Reynard.


Isaac because he has a complicated past and is the most mysterious from the six, the start was a bit exaggerated in my opinion because he killed someone in a moment of rage, but afterward didn't showed any kind of remorse even if he was the first man he killed. Another good point about him is because he can keep his cool ( excluding his discussion with Reynard hehe) and state his point of view about the situation without showing any kind of hint about his past (like his talk about nobility with Aria in mudtown). Also he's probably the only character that is capable of doing something dangerous to the group to save himself.

Ylianne because she's the most innocent character from the group and ofcourse, she's an half-elf. Always trying to solve things without violence and giving alternate ways to the group instead of a bloodbath. It'll be interesting to see how she grows within the decades, if the contact with humans changed her innocent personality or the way she thinks, maybe the little elven girl that she's now will be just a vague memory.

Reynard because he's... himself? xD. In my opinion he's the most common character and the most cliche but, for some reason I liked him. He gives a impression of a person with no malicious intent, someone that would probably throw his life away to save another member of the group without thinking twice. Also he tries to fix his mistakes ( discussing with Isaac and afterward in mudtown trying to tell Isaac he's sorry) and that's a great point for him.

My favourite character so far is Yilanne who is the only one I've played with. I always like those characters who manage to try to be happy and kind during dark times. Second is Reynard, he's completely upfront, what you see is what you get and I appreciate that. Third would probably be Camille because I always like the nerdy characters.

For now, my top 3 characters are Camille, Isaac and Reynard.

Camille is the atypical smart girl - one of the few nobles that would wiillingly break out of their imposed tradition to see a situation differently. Her intelligence and logic provides a fresh outlook in this setting, where some arts are forbidden but she sees the need for it. This is the only character I played so far.

Reynard is the boisterous hero-style character - also not conforming to rules but living by his own. While his eagerness to fight can be a little stale, but his personality is explored a little into seeing him hesitate during fights, etc.

Isaac because he is my main DPS unit, and I'm going for his story next due to his harsh background.

Lucienne is my main. shes pretty rigid on her beliefs and is a very capable fighter with knightly qualities already. a chick with armor and weapons, BONER

Hm, pretty difficult question here for my part. At first i thought: "Oh my, lots of cliché here: glasses girl=smart girl, arrogant noble, brute who always wants to fight, innocent elven girl etc". But as story progressed I came to like all because all of them have interesting sides, flaws and i think they are a bunch, that complement each other nicely. I played Aria as first character and i came to like her - and all her flaws, even her arrogant side because i developed an empathy for her personal background (family, education, believes etc.). But if i have to choose between 3 i think i liked Reynard, Lucienne and Camille the most. I like good hearted guys with a big mouth, that live their life to the fullest and are who they are. I like women like Lucienne, because they have their principles, are not afraid to go into battle and stood up to all the men, that always thought women have to be one thing: mother and wife. And i like smart girls like Camille, because they have an open mind, want to see over the borders of things and want to understand the world as a whole and she can stand for herself (sorry my english is bad i know, in Germany we say "Über den Rand des Tellers blicken", don't know how to translate that to english).

Lucienne, Cammile and Isaac. But i like all..well even Aria on some way.
Still i think the game is way too short and should have been released as one game with all 3 life phases combined. How long do we have to wait for the second part now?
The game itself was over so quickly, if you put too long waiting between the 2 parts you will lose all interest from players. If the second part is still in producement you should think in extending the game time by side quests, maybe a build and rule mode (you are a noble and get a village to conrtoll where you can build houses, fields, train units,raise popularity...rule, in that town , depending on how far you evolve it you can get additional gear or new side quests,..). Add some mini games, like an player vs npc duel place, a horse riding contest,...and and and....

Aria because she's a character who is forced to go preserve her House's interests or for morality's sake. I do hope that the second game pushes/pressures her into making even more ball-breaking decisions.

Camille because knowledge is power.

Isaac because he's a tragic character who wishes to remake a new life. A character who wants to let out his own inner emotions, yet restricted due to the nobility's way of order. In the second game, I hope there are more decisions that revolve around choosing "which decision do you think is of the 'lesser evil?'" An example like this would be either saving a small pack of delinquent children from drowning or saving your family, who are being held hostage due to the fact that they aided the enemies of state.

considering the isaac situation, a lot of nobles got brutally murdered in the french revolutions, nobles that had done nothing wrong at all- and yet nobody in the revolution seemed to show remorse.

well buddy, in times like that, sadly people get lumped in with the baddies. and yes i would bet my life that some of those nobles who were killed were good people, who DID care about the masses, but without the authority could not truly help other than out of pocket. its war, or revolution or w/e. but innocents will ALWAYS die. theres no way around that. even in our modern time, innocents die by accident or by revenge. those fithting must see the big picture and the goal ahead of them, not just whats in front of them ,or else nothing is accomplished

Same thing with religion at the moment, am i right? ... to soon?

[mdcpaladin]

is 3000 yrears to soon? we already laugh about HIV

[Orcfedorento]

Isaac and Aria. Isaac is a miserable backstabber who genuinely tries to help the weak. Aria is a well intentioned extremist. I think they are much more shades of grey than the others.

Lucienne and Ylianne due sort of righteous lady,
