You alternate between a male and female character.It has a tag "female protagonist", can you actually play as a female character in the game?
Thanks a lot mate.You alternate between a male and female character.
The main character, the Desert Stalker the game is named after, is male. There are currently two segments of the game where you play as his daughter and apprentice (unless you chose not to, in which case you only hear about what she expierenced). But this is just a small part of the overall game.It has a tag "female protagonist", can you actually play as a female character in the game?
Not much of an expert of how middle ages worked around the world (pretty much any civilization has a classic era and a middle age era) but european middle age was a lot less dark and barbaric than historians from the 18th and 19th century wanted us to believe.In the less civilised Middle Ages, punishments were harsher to act as a deterrent.
Both a scholar and a man of taste, going by your signatures.Not much of an expert of how middle ages worked around the world (pretty much any civilization has a classic era and a middle age era) but european middle age was a lot less dark and barbaric than historians from the 18th and 19th century wanted us to believe.
For once, murder wasn't really a crime through european middle age. Sure it was an highly undesired event authorities tried to prevent, but you weren't like jailed or hang for murder, usually. It was supposed to be a personal matter. If you killed someone his/her relatives received the right to avenge his/her death killing you. But since rarely a family or a circle accepted that killing one of the for revenge just made things even, this approach usually degenerated in a chain of murder that could last decades. That's how the word "Feud" came to be (which has nothing to do with the feudalism instituition, by the way).
Still medieval authorities weren't happy at all to have feud around at all. So they pushed a lot for the practice of the 'widrigild', the gold price. Basically if you killed someone you could go to the family of the victim and offer to settle the score by paying a compensation that was good enough to prove the value of the murdered person and the prestige of the family.
So, no creative corporal punishments here. It was more of a thing of classic eras.
Thieves though could get marked or mutilated (like the cut of a ear) if the were arrested multiple times. Stealing was a big deal back then.
Yes, and a pilgrimage exonerated me from murder. In antiquity, punishment was also entertainment, as I have already written (see the flight of the Icarus you mentioned.) In the Middle Ages, they wanted to save the soul, the meat just was considered a prison for the soul. (This is why torture was used more often before execution, so that the sinner would be cleansed by suffering.)Not much of an expert of how middle ages worked around the world (pretty much any civilization has a classic era and a middle age era) but european middle age was a lot less dark and barbaric than historians from the 18th and 19th century wanted us to believe.

Hey, thanks for clearing it out.The main character, the Desert Stalker the game is named after, is male. There are currently two segments of the game where you play as his daughter and apprentice (unless you chose not to, in which case you only hear about what she expierenced). But this is just a small part of the overall game.
Well the logic is as she is an LI players won't like it if she is going around fucking random men so she has a female harem. Also the stalker tells that he knows about her father who was the previous king. So there is a royal family of which she is part of.So.. does anyone know what's the deal with Merneith?
Her role is confusing to me. She is the queen but doesn't seem to have any family nor a designated heir.
One of the most important things for a monarchy is to have a clear line of succession. If something were to happen to Merneith every stalker, guard captain and merchant with enough money to buy a handful of mercs would be gunning for that throne and Zeta would devour itself in civil war.
Also while she doesn't seem prudish she is for some reason extremely averse to to the very idea of sex with Zaton which is very odd considering just how open Zeta is with regards to sex.
I wish we'd get some sort of explanation in the game.
My current theory and the only explanation I see for her character is that the monarch is actually voted for by the holy mothers and must be a child of Zeta. So the priestesses chose one of their own children and in order to prevent the monarch from creating a hereditary monarchy they are forbidden from having children. That would explain the queen's female harem but her aversion to male intercourse.
IIRC there are 3 scenes in total (beginning, middle story, last update), which one are you talking about?I can't find the urination scene can anyone help me?
Considering how she acts around Shani, Merneith may be a lesbian.So.. does anyone know what's the deal with Merneith?

Fuck yes. My only small disappointment with this latest update.we're going to continue Kateryna's story as well....
Really? I think i've missed all three. Care to elaborate, please?IIRC there are 3 scenes in total (beginning, middle story, last update), which one are you talking about?
