>>5938567>can you tell us how we messed up ?Okay let's start from the top.
>First off you refused to have sex with her, which, granted would have caused some other complications, but it would at least steered the relationship into "it's complicated" territory.>Following up from that, people ignored Diplomancers advice to patiently cultivate the relationship and went all in on the Hero confession choice which required a nat 12 to pass. Failing the check put Nero firmly into the friendzone and made Althea lose some respect for him.>What you probably guessed, but were never explicitly told was that Althea was betrayed by her team during the grand cull. She was saved by a small number of loyalists which later became her "pack". This simultaneously alienated her from the rest of House Falkner at large even as having loyal followers grounded her.>You chose to let Althea get captured rather than Eliza, which while avoiding a political SNAFU also got her pack killed, alienating her even more. It also set in motion events which would get her contaminated with god dust.>Failure to decisively push through the vote to interact with Althea meant you were deprived of an opportunity to comfort Althea in the aftermath of all that happened and instead got the NTR dream.>Choosing to harmonize the god dust made Althea more rebellious and the change in her body alienated her even more. (She would have been royally pissed if she knew you could have changed her back to normal but chose not to. As it stands she thinks you had little choice.)This in and of itself would not have caused her to leave but your relationship was already very strained at this point. If you had simply siphoned the dust and returned her to normal she would have been far more receptive to Nero. (Maybe even given you a chance to break out of the friendzone.)
>On top of all that your collective indecision on which thot to research saddled you with an even worse thot whose debuffs made the final checks to convince Althea to stay nigh impossible.So yeah, I'm mildly astounded, because you could afford to make a few bad decisions and have a few bad rolls, but you just kept taking Ls at <span class="mu-i">every</span> juncture.
