Razma of Shem (spoilers)

[Kuromiya]

Is there any point to Razma of Shem? I just found her randomly, after beating the Witch Queen near my base, getting her key, and searching the city for an hour. Apparently SHE was the Witch Queen? And I didn't kill her, even though I harvested her skull? I dunno. Earlier in the game, Conan told me she was important, and I'm assuming she's the lady from the intro cutscene, so I guess she matters somehow.

However, all she's doing right now is giving me expository dialogue. Does she do anything besides give me story dialogue, like teach me skills or unlock dungeons or something? And, more importantly, if I beat her up and drag her back to my slave dungeon, will that break anything later in the game?

She's just a part of the story, she does not give anything nor does she teach anything and you can't thrall her either. You can knock her out with a truncheon but she just keeps on talking and you can't drag her to the wheel. You can kill her tho, but she just respawns after a while.

[Kuromiya]

That's a shame. I'm guessing that means I can't thrall Conan, either?

[BigBombz]

You can't even hit Conan.

Her dialogue IS her point. Between that and her journal pages, it shows there are things going on in the exiled lands besides you and your story. It fleshes the game out a bit. While it doesnt directly affect you, I wouldnt call it pointless. Its also a hook for the comics which continue her story with Conan. This game is based on a famous author and his work, story and lore are good things to have, and one of the few aspects of the game I actually think FC did a good job on.

Though if you climb to her roof and look around some you will find something that will be a direct benefit to your character.

@Kikinaak
Agreed Razma of Shem is one of the few story pieces that add to conan.

Would be even better, if there was lip syncing for those characters monologues. and that as you eventually leave Conan that a short ending vid showed her and conan actually going off together.

You also alluded to her roof where each person getting there will each time learn new recipes.

Which is another one of conans weaknesses in my eyes ... that the game doesn't tell you what you'll learn there and the player won't know unless you research it.

I agree that story lore adds to the atmosphere of the game.

He'd thrall you in an instant. CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES.
