Impact of Choice: Bloody Tears.

[FateWeaver]

Not started playing yet, but I noticed something that got me worried in a developer gameplay video, and a youtuber let's play. Namely the impact of your conquest choices. In this case the choice of negotiating the Queen's surrender or slaying her. The developers slayed her, thus resulting in the Queen statue, which normally weeped water, to weep bloody tears instead.
But in the youtuber's video, he negotiated the surrender of the Queen and her people, and still the statue is weeping blood... Thus making me question if anything really was changed by the choice, beyond dialogue options...
I was under the impression that the world would also change based on choices made in Conquest. :S

Going to start playing soon, just struggling with coming up with names for my characters... Gaaaaah, that damn role playing game naming curse... xD

I`ve ended the game, and my answer is NO. You`ll see some(few) reactions on you decisions while speaking with NPS, but don`t wait for any serious impact.

The starting state of the world isn't changed by your choices. Visually at least. Your choices do affect dialogue quite a bit though.

For example if you kill the queen, you get the nickname of 'Queenslayer' and the Guard really hate you. If you negotiate you're the 'Peacebringer' for the opposite reaction. All the choices you make during conquest will pop up at some point or another.

But the major worldchanging visual stuff happens regardless of your role in it. The events in towns you didn't pick in conquest still happen. Just someone else is in charge there.

Gameplaywise, the big difference is your starting fear or favor with the different factions. But you can still max out the opposite feelings. I started out with an Eb with lvl 4 fear in my last playthrough, since I was the stormbringer And Queenslayer... XD
But I still got her to Favor 4 and force her to teach me Gravelight. ^^
