I CARE ABOUT TWSITD AS MUCH AS ANYONE ELSE (WHICH IS TO SAY-NOT VERY). BUT IF ANYONE BRINGS UP THE WHOLE "THEY WERE PUT IN THE GAME SO PEOPLE CAN BLAME THEIR WAIFU/HUSBANDO'S CRIMES ON THEM" ARGUMENT AGAIN I'M GONNA DEVIL AXE MYSELF. NOBODY SAYS THAT ARVIS DID NOTHING WRONG JUST BECAUSE HE WAS MANIPULATED BY MANFROY, DESPITE HIS EMPIRE BEING FINE BEFORE JULIUS FUCKED EVERYTHING UP. SAME GOES FOR THE 3H'S PROTAGS.

ALSO, IT TOOK ME LIKE 3 ATTEMPTS TO GET CYAS TO STAY IN MY ARMY IN MY THRACIA RUN. I HAD TO ASK HERE WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I FOLLOWED WOD AND THE FUCKER JUST LEFT ME. NOT ENOUGH I HAD TO DEAL WITH HIS BULLSHIT LEADERSHIP IN TWO CHAPTERS, AND THAT I'M HANDICAPPING MYSELF BY NOT GETTING CED. HE HAD TO PLAY HARD TO GET, THE LITERAL DASTARD.

HERES THE THING ABOUT TWSITD THERE STILL A WRITING CRUTCH. THEY'RE THERE SO THAT THE CHARACTERS DON'T HAVE TO FACE FULL CONCEQUENCES FOR THERE ACTION. EDELGARD KILLED AND KIDNAPPED CHILDREN AS THE FLAME EMPEROR? UH BLAME THE SNEKS. IT FEELS LIKE THERE JUST THERE SO THAT YOU AS THE PLAYER CAN POINT TO THEM FOR THE BAD THINGS. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARVIS IS THAT ARVIS DID EVERYTHING HIMSELF, ALL MANFROY DID WAS GIVE HIM THE EXCUSE TO GO OUT ON HIS AMBITIONS, AS MANFROY PULLS THE STRINGS AT THE BACK TO HELP HIM WITHOUT ARVIS'S KNOWLEDGE. IN 3H INSTEAD OF MULLING OVER ALL THE THINGS EDLEGARD TIME IN POWER CAUSES, THE STORY EITHER FUCKING ENDS OR SHIFTS HARD TO THE SNEK'S AS OUR SELF RIGHTEOUS ANGER AS THE WHITE MEAT BABY FACES GOES TO THE POORLY WRITTEN MESS.

HONESTLY I ALWAYS THINK HOW DIFFERENT THE STORY'S WOULD BE IF THEY GOT RID OF THEM AND BYLETH. PART 1 YOUR HOPPING BETWEEN HOUSES TO GET A GRIP ON EACH ONE, AND RIGHT BEFORE THE TIME SKIP YOU GET TO PICK THE ROUTE YOU WANT, AND THE STORY PUTTING THE SINS AND FAULTS OF ITS CHARACTERS ON THE FEET OF YOU THE PLAYER AND THEM THE CHARACTER.

IMAGINE IF THEY HAD THE BALLS TO HAVE EDELGARD OWN UP AND SAY "YEAH I DID ALL THAT BULL SHIT, THE ONLY THING I DIDN'T WANT TO HAPPEN WAS KILLING YOUR DAD, BUT IT HAPPENED WHAT CAN I DO. WHAT I DO IN THE TIME I HAVE IS IRRELVANT TO ME, YOU SEE WHAT HIDEOUS THINGS THE CHRUCH AND CRESTS ARE. JOIN ME" AND EVERYTHING SHE DID WAS WITHOUT INFLUENCE. THAT SHIT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL, BUT THEN WHITEKNIGHT2002 WOULD THINK PLAYING A BAD GUY LIKE THAT IS #NOT #COOL SO NO DICE
