Screw Aspasia!

Anyone else wish that you could hand her over to Kleon?

Immediately after she sends a child, the only person the MC actually cares about, into a city filled with plagued rioters you are forced to help her.

And if you confront her about it, her response is basically "not my fault, now go help my Man!"

[Darth Revan]

I do not wish that at all, I mean, she was only a servant for her and I do not judge people or events In the game with modern thinking in mind. :)

Btw: her man and the Spartans caused the plague historically

Oh. Yes.

Game got me all riled up, ready for nasty payback towards anyone within a 2 mile radius ... man, the game really reached some great emo heights there ... And to me, it also feels like the enabler gets away too clean.

Surprising, really. Then frustrating, but alas. Agreed, is my point.

edit: Legatus Lucanus, I think we roleplay differently - character was obviously affected by the event, and the emotions involved in friendsships probably doesn't change according to times, modern nor ancient. However, it would probably be a lot harder for an adult single guy to maintain a friendship with a small girl in modern times, roger that! :-)

The plague of Athens makes interesting reading. Basically, the Athenian general Pericles retreated from open field warfare and drew his people into Athens, figuring they could defend the city from Sparta and her allies. Unfortunately overcrowding led to poor hygeine and the rapid spread of disease. No one can state categorically what the plague was (ebola and measles are often mentioned), but typhoid seems the likeliest culprit. Typhus has been fround in dentine DNA extracted from the remains of Athenians that died during that period, i.e. around 420BC.

When the Spartans saw all the smoke rising from the funeral pyres they backed off in case they caught whatever was afflicting the Athenians.

It also was a reaction from perikles because of the Spartan tactic to raid Attica and destroy the fields regularly, therefore pericles brought the whole population of attica behind the protective walls of athen.

Perikles was the one who kick started the war in the first place.

You should at least have the option. And if you blame her, the MC will actually apologize for it on the boat.

The MC literally murders world leaders, so that they can destabalize an area and profit from helping with the chaos, and they apoologize for hurting the feelings of someone objectively responsable for the death of their only friend

I feel no motivation to play the game anymore; during the whole emotional reunion with mother, I couldn't help but think about poor dead Phoebe

It doesn't even serve a narative purpose, it's just a terible random thing.

Terrible senseless things happen all the time in real life, but this isn't real life; terrible things shouldn't be senseless in a good story.

Luke's aunt and uncle dying gave him the freedom to leave Tatooine, Aerith dying gave Cloud and his team motivation and tragedy to bond over, Ned dying freed his children to explore and/or also die, Phoebe dying just sucks

Perhaps...there is a reason after all

I swear, if I play this game all the way through and don't see a Zombie Phoebe I'm gonna... I'm gonna... I'm gonna probably sit at home and cry, I guess.

As it stands, the cult has brainwashed your sibling, and is trying to use them to kill you and your mother, so they didn't kill Pheobe to motivate the MC, and it's hardly freeing, they could have left Pheobe on the starter island and nothing would be different.

So... Yeah... I'll spin up the game again, and hope you aren't lying about Zombie Pheobe.

Same experience here. Kindda makes ya feel like a sucker for going "there's some kindda tear-effect being used on the main characters eyes ... and mine too ... DAMNIT, PHOEBE, NOOOOOO" ... hrem.

Went on with the game here though, still enjoying it. All in all, the event - painted on the wall a little from the start - is a step up in the narrative here, and forgiveable.

phoebe , was boring anyway

[Red_Spartan_PG(BR)]

The people you guys talking about (no gonna name it cause spoilers) is based on someone like her that die that time. Same was that two guys on the last battle

[Hollywood]

Idk man, I just made out with her, she's not all that bad.

[ⓀⒾⓦⒾ‰]

I just let her go, then i made alexios cry and he joined my on my ship
