Well, my run is fucking dead
Basically I'm in the sneeded forest and the game decided to spawn literally the hardest event right next to me. I have no way to complete this without someone dying. Basically I have to choose between sacrificing a villager or letting 10 die and losing the village and cycle. It's fucking ridiculous that I got a dark gate right now. The absolute worst possible time. I could have completed it without a sacrifice if I hadn't sold some valuable resources earlier, but I was being fucking dumb. My short sightedness is about to get somebody killed. My original goal was to play the entire thing through with nobody dying. That shit is dead in the water now, man. I didn't even complete a full cycle before this shit went tits up. I'm very upset. I think I can work this into my emergent narrative, thoughbeit. Basically, in my headcanon, the first seal is a training run with another Viceory overseeing my own, who makes the ultimate decisions, so it's actually this other Viceroy that is forcing the sacrifice in order to teach mine the lesson.
I have no choice now unless I want to restart the entire fucking game AGAIN. I guess I'll wait for the next dlc, if there is one, to do a no deaths run :(
Fuck pic rel. So fucking gay man. Fuck.
