Question: If I turn down learning Crucio can I still learn Avada Kedavra?

[Kyria]

I'm at the Crucio choice portion of Sebastian's questline and I was wondering if I turn down learning Crucio if I can still learn other Unspeakable Curses down the road, or if I hardlock myself out of all of them by saying no. My reasoning is I would not want to learn how to torture people, but I definitely have and will kill enemies in combat so using AK is really no different than defeating them any other way. Does anyone know the connsequences of me saying no to Crucio at this point? Thanks!

The curse spells are tied to Sebastians quest line, if you turn it down and still get the next ones then you can, otherwise nope.
Though you should learn it still, you dont need to use it. Also Crucio really only "incapacitates" the enemy, see it like a temporary stun xD

I would accept crucio. it has no negative impact on your game. They make it seem serious, but it is not. Just accept it.

Thank you! Ok, so I can say no to Crucio and I will still get to say yes to other Unspeakable Curses down the road?

Also, you can learn the skill, but have Sebation use it on you. Instead of you using it on him.

I had him cast it on me. So you can learn it, and never use it. If you like achievements, maybe you want to get all the skills for that.

Yes, go back to Sebastian in the Undercroft, and you can have him teach it to you. It goes for Imperio and Crucio. I am not sure about Avada Kadavara though. There is no reason to NOT learn the spells. It doesn't affect your game in anyway.

Crucio combined with Avada is awesome:

So you can talent Crucio where when you strike an enemy that is cursed by Crucio it spreads the curse and hits others. Then with the Avada talent, any enemy that is cursed will be hit by Crucio, so you can wipe an entire enemy encampment at once.

IMHO Imperio is useless and sucks.

Ah, good call on the achievments. That's a shame though as I want to say no to Crucio on principle for my character. Looking at the achievments I would need to play it as each house to get them all, so I don't mind missing this achievment for now.

I just wanted to make sure I do not lock myself myself out of the other Unspeakable Curses by saying no to Crucio.

I wouldn't plan to actually play each house all the way through. But to each their own. If anything, I would do the bare minimum for the achievements regarding the houses. Basically I think you can just replay the intro to where you reach your common room, and that should be enough.

Just not enough replay value tbh, to do the whole game 4 times.

Why would you say no? It has ZERO effect on gameplay and story. It's dumb not to learn it. Check my post above.

Thanks, all! I feel safe I can say no to Crucio then! :)

Apperently you can learn all the unforgive Curses later if you don't learn them "in the moment" by talking to him in the Undercroft
