>>5444725I don't want to provide additional commentary on this matter because I've decided for this quest that while the inner voices may give heavy hints,
I am not going to spell out how your choices affect the game before you make them.
I am a capricious QM after all.
In fact just by even saying this and posting this:
>>5443877I've already kinda broken that rule so I'll give you a little more info just this once.
Trying to kill Duke Kireon now means openly attacking the guy while you are in the fortress of another house who does not like having to deal with other people's drama.
It's also not going to be a one on one fight. It'll be you and your dudes vs Kireon and his dudes in a place while you are surrounded by Rythvane and his dudes (who include a bunch of elite mages) who will almost certainly intervene to keep the peace.
So let's recap what you'd be doing by attacking Duke Kireon here and now:
>Effectively starting a war with a much wealthier house while your own is at a disadvantage just because Nigel Kireon decided to go his own way.>Starting shit in a foreign lord's hold which not only betrays the principle of hospitality but will alienate possibly your only potential ally right now.>Damaging your diplomatic credibility. So even if you interact with other factions that have no beef with you, if they know you pulled shit like this it'll start you off on the wrong foot.>Killing your mom's brother, which is probably the most inconsequential factor here but still worth considering.
