I need to know this as well. I finished the with Rowan alive but, Duncan dies. Is it even possible to have them end up together and save them both? I need to know, my poor heart can't handle this.

I've Reached an ending in which Rowan is alive, happy, alongside her romance and it seems that good things are coming for her but.... Not with Duncan tho.

[Get_to_the_Choppa!]

and not with Connor i think (his route is similiar with Duncan's). Is that sexism of some sort?))
Seriously though, either good ending's really hard to achieve, or it doesn't exist for them...

Very Do-able with Arlyn tho ^^

[GabyTP]

I'm kinda upset that some LIs (Arlyn) get to have a happy ending while Duncan and Connor get to either die or let Rowan die :/

[Hendumaica]

Don't get me wrong. The Arlyn ending isn't happy for almost nobody else except Arlyn and Rowan... Even at a large scale than the group itself.

[GabyTP]

So... there's no happy endings, period. Ugh.

[Hendumaica]

100 % happy nope.

[♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥]

I cannot deal. lol.
I literally just spent 10 hours trying to get out of sacrificing Rowan while romancing duncan.
At some point, different choices to try and get it to be so, have started to force freya and connor onto my story instead. Then I got mad at this amazing game, because I "can't let go", ironically.
Can't deal with the realisation of reading the discussion page here only to find that all my efforts are for naught.

So much this. But then the opposite, I keep sacrificing myself, because Rowan can't let him die! xD

How does one trigger the Connor route?

Wow, if what you are saying here is true, it sure is depressing and kind of sexist. But according to seers' plan, Duncan is supposed to die unlike Arlyn, so I guess there really isn't an happy ending for both Duncan and Rowan??? T_T

I see some people overdosed on radical post-modern leftism to mistake a tragic plot with... sexism.

The game resembles Norse mythology era. There were no safe spaces and safe words for anyone to use at the first sign of emotional discomfort.

But even without those, it's always a 2-way street (spoilers ahead):

1) You can either save Duncan by sacrificing Rowan or save the whole group (including Rowan) by making Duncan sacrifice himself.

2) There's similar situation with Connor. He either takes Rowan's place by sacrificing himself or Rowan gives up her life to save him.

Radical leftism? lol Not everything is about politics, and by pointing out the sexism towards male characters, I think I'm actually opposing radical leftism here.

All two males characters despite their virtues and kindness have to sacrifice themselves to save Rowan, or survive at the cost of Rowan's life. And Connor isn't in a romantic relationship with Rowan, even though he does seem to develop a friendship and compassion for Rowan, just like Freya. He's also a gay who has a boyfriend back at the church, but despite that he still willingly takes Rowan's place of suffering in the limbo plane.

I'm not saying I have a problem with both two female characters. In fact I like them a lot. But by granting them a generally much better fates (defeat seers/live with Rowan happily ever after, defeat Jenniver/become the benevolent guardian spirit) than male characters, this game does indeed display a reverse sexism. Because most people wouldn't want to call out women and minority races.

But I agree with you that there is a certain charm and beauty to the tragic plot. I personally do think the sacrifices of two male characters touch me more on a deeper level than the more positive defiant plot of two female characters.
