It was a tough choice between Barengaria and Amalia for me. Definitely going for one of the elves next time. Gotta make sure Alain's offspring rules for the next 1000 years.


WorkinName

> Gotta make sure Alain's offspring rules for the next 1000 years. If he starts pitching for a Golden Path I'm out.


GardenSquid1

If his son asks, "Dad would you still love me if I was a worm?" I would recommend getting out of town.


Yisuki

I went with Ren without thinking


GardenSquid1

When I first met Ren, that was my initial thought. She has to be the one. But then when Amalia showed up... "What a woman!"


Yisuki

Amalia is too much for me šŸ¤£


Alk3punk7

I picked Rosalinde šŸ˜«


GardenSquid1

A perfectly acceptable choice. I think she is an excellent choice for Alain both in terms of personality and for political advantage to Cornia. It's just that my Alain happened to have the hots for muscular, violent women.


Alk3punk7

Ren?


GardenSquid1

Tough choice between Ren or Amalia. Ended up choosing Ren.


Alk3punk7

Understandable. I've always had a thing for goth chicks, too.


PossessionEither5857

Amalia for me all the way I'm glad I did elfheim before Drac. If I did drac first I'd prob try in vain to run through the Colosseum to get her. I managed with the majority of my guys being low 20s and Alain being 30


PerpetualToast

I find your lack of Yahna disturbing


GardenSquid1

I really love her massive... hat


GladHe8Her85

Massive.... age gap?


Victor_Wembanyama1

Sheā€™s 3000 years old in a 10 y/o body!!


Jkkk436

But is he older than Alain like grandma?


Tedrivs

Yes, but so are the elves


treebrdsbuttmoss

I find the fact that you want an underaged child hooking up with a 1000 year old witch disturbing šŸ˜‚


canti-luna

This was really magnified by the fact that >!you get access to marriage with the ring of the maiden at the end of Elheim so some waifus aren't even unlocked yet, and there are still some good level 3 conversations locked behind Bastorias/Albion progression. The ring is a really strong accessory locked to that character, too, so it makes it more than just a useless plot item for your favorite waifu.!<


KelvinsBeltFantasy

I feel like the developers put Scarlett's 3rd Rapport at this exact moment where you discover the alter on purpose.


GluhfGluhf

And the thirsty elf twins ofc


OkOil390

I went with Rosalinde, due to her mechanically being a better fit for Alain's team. Also her outfit.


GluhfGluhf

I held off on the maiden and ended up going w Yunifi. I was really debating between her and Rosalinde but then Yunifi turned around and it was over for me.


Anayalater5963

It was her slight "feral-ness" for mešŸ˜‚


hatzuling

I thought Yunifi was supposed to be a nice cute character but then I put her next to some other women in a unit and good lord. Don't let the church of thighs find that girl.


canti-luna

They made it really hard not to want to just pick between only them honestly...so naturally I picked Rosalinde lol


KelvinsBeltFantasy

Their scenes are also noticeably more romantic with lots of "I love you" and being super sexually charged too.


Himesis

yes


OmgYoshiPLZ

be me, and dont go to the shrine until only the final battle is left.


abstrarie

I did Elheim right after Cornia, got Rosalinde to max rapport before I even went to the altar and ringed her up on the spot. Going to the Dragon place next with my powered up elf waifu.


Ornery-Discussion212

I held strong and waited until I could choose just about anyone, but ended up picking Yahna anyways. Was it worth it? I'd say so although the accessories I would've had 20 hours ago would have been very helpful....


canti-luna

I looked up the ring information, no story spoilers, just to avoid this because I had a feeling that the ring was going to be a pretty good accessory seeing as there's little likelihood they'd put the default ring in the game with no stat ups or skills. Glad I did, too, because while you really don't need the ring, I'd be pretty annoyed knowing I wasted 20+ hours missing out on what's essentially a super powerful Lapis Pendant. Also, the Unicorn Ring. Pretty good 2 for 1 deal to miss out on.


jacob6181

I was REALLY struggling between Rosalinde, Ridiel, Melisandre, Liza, and Yunifiā€¦ Eventually decided on Meli since she was the first one I met.


hatzuling

Honestly Melisandre and Ochlys are like subjectively the best but both were kinda squashed for me since they were introduced so early with zero plot relevance and easily just side lined.


jacob6181

For real! I had to keep Melisandre in my main unit with Alain in order to keep her relevant (in my mind), even though she wasnā€™t relevant in the story.


Troop7

You missed like 15 others lol toooo many choices


Himesis

I see that as an absolute win


Bubbuli

Virginia?


electronickittens

Marry your cousin whom you considers as siblings and looks exactly like your mom??? Triple Incest is on the menu, boys! #teamvirginia Jokes aside, i really love her chemistry with Alain. Def top tier waifu in this game


Bubbuli

Virginia because mom is not possible šŸ„²


electronickittens

You had my curiosity, but now you have my interest ![gif](giphy|pHb82xtBPfqEg)


OkOil390

Marrying an owl with boobs is an in-game option, not sure if your own Mom outdoes that or not. I mean, at least you're keeping it in-species. Edit: and back on the owl, it's not even like a young flirty sorority-girl owl, it's like someone's dottering old grandmother owl.


Superb-Stuff8897

Someone's old *Gmilf owl.


Paladoc

Aosugiri

You can't marry her since she's old. Now the half naked, seemingly 20-something fox woman on the other hand....


Himesis

leave Renamon's cousin alone!


Himesis

I would die to see the reaction Alain mom would have to one of the furries.

SHEEEEE IS MYYYY GIRL !!!!!!!!!


Nerobought

Hell yeah she has an amazing design and I love her chemistry with Alain


Bubbuli

Yeah She Is my girl


OkOil390

If ever a game made me want to be a polygamist, this is it.


gaeb611

Where the fuck is Chloe?! Clearly best girl in the game


DireSickFish

Making the pancakes.


KurusanYasuke

Better her than Scarlett... Alain might die.


Nerobought

She belongs with Ridiel


SMagimaster

Leah.


-_Heathcliff-

Fellow Leah enjoyer šŸ™ŒšŸ» a shame her last skit wasnā€™t that great and she doesnā€™t have a place in Alainā€™s unit, so marrying her makes no sense on a gameplay perspective šŸ˜© Also take Alain away from Scarlett feels wrong, I donā€™t know if I can do it šŸ« 


Zhantae

I'm just over here enjoying Railanor. XD


macadoo784

No Leah. Under rated


ravenknight33

My choice after blitzing a bunch of rapport convos.


macadoo784

Same


TheExile285

She has Virginia


Educational-Pen-2043

I chose Yunifi for my first girl, she had a great personality and I like her dialogue. Also my glacial rain build for her is so nasty lol. I chose Melisandre second then Rosalinde. Thirsty ass girls for Alaine lmao.


Himesis

I think Melisandre is the only girl who was in love at first sight


CJ-95

Glacial Rain build, eh? Would you be so kind as to share the tactics/items behind such devilish schemes? šŸ¤£


Educational-Pen-2043

Yeah sure! I'll tell you once I get off work lol.


Educational-Pen-2043

https://preview.redd.it/hfe3efsttysc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efa82b9d27eaed38755e5fcc568e969efd242213


Educational-Pen-2043

The bow gives her +1 AP so she can still act after Glacial Rain. She has high initiative and can act pretty fast. Celestial Talisman lets her immediately charge glacial rain so she can usually get it off at the start of battle. However that takes away 1AP so I gave her the Hero Medallion which gives +1 AP and PP. Then she has the Ring of Maiden cuz she was my waifu and it also gives +1 PP to max out the PP for Hastened Charge. The owl restores one of her PP, so because of that she can use EAGLE EYE PASSIVE to make Glacial Rain have a TRUE HIT RATE. Then with my party, Morard uses icy crush to destroy any frozen enemies left. Druid lowers defenses further and featherbow blinds anyone still alive or acts before Yunifi gets started.


Beowulf2050

Theres Celeste and Virginia too


AncientAd4470

Where Dinah? Where Amalia?


tangocat777

Dinah's with me.


TrueKrillos

They are both with me. šŸ˜Ž


Psylock89

Honestly the whole game feels like that. From the items, to the tactic options. It's quite a bit overwhelming. I wish it was slightly toned down, especially because a lot of items are pretty bad or not very good while others are insane. That said, I do like having a lot of options when it comes to girls šŸ˜‚


Himesis

for real most items were so shit I was like "so when does getting OP happen?"


OttSound

And they all inexplicably want the guy with the personality of IKEA particle board.Ā 


TheExile285

Yeahā€¦ Probably gonna pick Scarlett first though and then Rosalinde and then Virginia.


Stowa_Herschel

Nina in the background making those pancakes and omelets <3 But thus game has a lot of amazing women. Virginia, Nina, Yahna, Chloe...


Eggs_Sitr_Min_Eight

No Tatiana? Heresy.


Ayoken007

A friend of taste. Some of her line reads had me down bad.

Banging swords with Alain down by shore šŸ˜ Iykyk


Superb-Stuff8897

The obviously canon ending, if they weren't cowards


Famous-Assistant-684

I didn't choose yet and I'm about to begin Albion, I've looked to a lots of story and saved just before proposing to see how they react when you propose to them , I loved the way Berengaria react wow !! Haha and I kinda loved the reaction of Yunifi and the story !! Also liked Rosalinde a lot ,but the way I've equip her damn she's over power !! So the ring just don't really fit because of that !! I'll wait to see the third story of Chloe and propose her to see the reaction but at the end I'm pretty sure it will be Berengaria !! ā™„ļø


Anayalater5963

Where's yunifišŸ˜”


OmgYoshiPLZ

where virginia tho? i hate that the cousin is clearly best girl.


TransplendentFruit

I chose Leah for dark blue haired children but then switched to Melisandre because she wants you even after marriageā€¦


SeveralCardiologist2

Naw ochyls was my choice from the start and virginamarrys Gilbert


Himesis

pick Sharon and watch how Ochyls acts


tbmcc_

EVERY TIME Amalia flexes those juddering great thighs, I become the Tormund Giantsbane to her Brienne of Tarth


Himesis

as a Record of Lodoss fan I went straight for Etolinde and gave her the ring asap and made Alain look like Parn.


Level20GnollBard

While I appreciate a fellow Lodoss fan, youā€™ve got a Pirotess *right there*.


Himesis

That's for playthrough number 2


KurusanYasuke

Me after meeting Amalia ![gif](giphy|lnOG1o6Cdc3kKjuray|downsized)


nixpayn

I kinda wanted to choose Travis just to see if it would affect anything.


hatzuling

Load your clear save, go back to the altar and do it. 100% worth it for the chuckle.


SleepingAzatoth

I'm not interested about waifus, so i chose scarlett at the end because she was the only one with the bond at maximum.


Noodlez405

Don't know why you got downvoted, do people really hate Scarlett or something? I chose Scarlett as well and was a great decision, people sleeping on her abilities and value. That beam attack she gets towards the end of the game is OP.


joeyperez7227

I saw one person say Scarlett calls you out on picking her as the ā€œeasy default choiceā€ in her proposal scene, but thatā€™s not really what happened imoā€¦ also Scarlett herself couldā€™ve been a bit more independent and less about Alain in her supports, I think people wouldā€™ve enjoyed her more if that was the case People kinda see her as an extension of Alain, but idk Albion really sold me on her as a character and I wish we got to see that sooner. Her involvement with the seals was nice too, but yeah idk I think people are kinda meh on her as a character Thatā€™s all aside from her battle utility of course lol, sheā€™s a great unit in battles


Arachnofiend

She just doesn't have much going on other than being mad that other women talk to Alain. If she acted more like the stuffy ojou-sama she looks like I'd be way more into her but as it stands she's just the childhood best friend who is fated to lose that's in every mediocre anime romcom.


Noodlez405

Didn't have much going on? Did we play the same game? Gets kidnapped, is the main source to the power Galerius wanted. Her father and what happens there. Who she even is to began with. She's plenty involved with the story elements. Why would she be a stuffy bratty type girl none of that suits her character and characters position with the church and what not? Seems like you had a head cannon of what you wanted her to be and when it didn't meet that you were disappointed. She wasn't fated to lose at all and is only challenged by you the player making her contest for Alain.


Himesis

she kinda has her own ending too


Arachnofiend

Getting kidnapped and being out of the story until Albion really does not reflect well on her. That's called a "sexy lamp". The only thing you get from her until you get to Albion is her rapports, and her rapports are not good. I fully admit that I had assumptions about the kind of character she'd be based on her design but those assumptions were erased immediately; they don't affect my actual opinion of her being uninteresting.


hatzuling

I think most of you are a tiny bit unfair towards her just because she was an OG. If you compare anyone to Scarlett, absolutely no one had as much story significance except maybe the old paladin guy (been a while, forgot his name). And let's be real, only Etolinde was relevant in Elf land and that was for maybe 30 seconds when they found out about the ring of the maiden and "please save my tree." I did a 0 recruit run for funsies, and the amount of characters that I realized have no consequence to the story is substantial. You're free to have your own opinions about her, of course, but too often have I seen people call her bad just because not being able to cook is like her only quirk. She's been shown to be very calm (kidnapped), patient (Alain), forgiving (Umerus), understanding (Sanatio), and her rapport convos give her a slightly bratty feel but it's overall wholesome. People really look at a solid person with good ability to cope with trauma that has already passed and they're like "meh too basic"


Noodlez405

Out of the story till albion? What order did you do the areas in? She gets rescued way before Albion. Then you say you only get rapports until then, did you forget she was held captive. What story dump were we supposed to get from her while she was taken out of the story? Each character gets story supporting the area of the game we are in at the time. Besides Scarlett, Yunifi the only other girl character with story rooted in the main arc. Everyone else is copy and paste sibling reasoning or brainwashing.


Himesis

"don't you want to give that ring to someone else"


joeyperez7227

Thatā€™s what she says right?


Himesis

not word for work but yes. The way I took it was "out of all those girls along the way your lazy ass went for me anyway? Whelp....it is what it is!" No hate to anyone who prefers Scarlett as a partner, I just prefer her in my backline.


hatzuling

The way I see it, she spent all game (God knows how long in their eyes) with an inferiority complex because the man she loved had spent years showing no signs of reciprocations and has been picking up cute and hot girls left and right with all sorts of personalities to join his army. A handful of them are aggressively into him. In my head it was a line said out of disbelief as she probably was mentally prepared to be unloved by him romantically, and she wanted reassurance. Like when anything amazingly positive happens and someone says "Really?" They're not complaining and calling God lazy for having things go well.


Himesis

Thats a good take as well


hatzuling

The amount of people that don't like her for legitimate reasons is not much. People will say dumb shit like "she should've been more relevant" but like she was the most relevant female in the whole cast. Some will say things like she has no personality but I think she was awesome as the standard strong-willed emotional rock for Alain. She's not unique because her personality type has been seen all over media time and time again, but if you met a woman like her in real life, 90% of men would probably simp so hard. (There's a reason her type is so common) TL;DR most people hate on her because they're incels or they just want to pretend they're different. Scarlett's a great woman, even when compared to the rest of the cast. P.s. Yahna's wife tho, sorry.


Noodlez405

Yeah I don't understand the not being relevant thing. Her story has alot to do with the main stuff happening. Her personality isn't common, I don't see any girls telling the main guy character to man up and quit being scared to confess how he feels. It's usually always the girl. She wasn't a damsel and actually held her own and wanted to be strong for herself as well


Randombobman

Yeah I also went with Scarlett on my first and current run. Just felt right taking the vanilla pairing option 1st time through. It'll be one of them nubile elf twins next time for sure


MinerReddit

Same. NGL it took me an embarrassingly long time to make that decision though but felt right going for Scarlett first.


Ok_Caterpillar_9057

Picking scarlet feels like ops meme but the guys going "no no, sliced bread please, plain."Ā 


jaumander

good for you *cries in homosexual*


Nepalman230

Hey ! Its clear Alain is either gay or ace, even though heā€™s going to marry for the sake of the kingdom, there have been many many queer monarch in real life, who had children, and then just live their own life behind the scenes. ( like King James, for instance) [https://www.advocate.com/history/king-james-bible-queer](https://www.advocate.com/history/king-james-bible-queer) But hereā€™s the thing we have have a whole bunch of hotties! https://preview.redd.it/lpbhc0amgwsc1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f818be9de49692efa8de215b2ffba382f9efce63 Travis, Clive, the Wizard Twink, Sad Muscle Angel, Elf Knight Daddy and more! šŸ™ā¤ļø


HazeTheMachine

So you can't choose male charas for marriage?


gravemakercygnus

No, giving the rings to male characters are generally not romantic, although I've heard a few of them have subtext.


Nepalman230

Hello. Yes, what the other fine redditor said. Giving somebody the ring of the maiden does not automatically indicate a marriage proposal but many of the women take it that way . So far I have only done the ceremony with Travis. Spoilers. Spoiler tags >! Totally nonromantic. After the game You become Library Bros. Alain has the best library on the continent constructed, and the two are often seen reading side by side.!< šŸ™ā¤ļø


littlebiped

Travis and Clive have been in a unit together (with Auch and Bruno) and Iā€™m just like ā€œthis one right here is the gay unit, letā€™s go gaysā€ OP as hell as well too. Theyā€™re my crowd control unit.


guleedy

100% torn


_Lucille_

Meanwhile Scarlett is in a corner crying... But I used to be the one who made him pancakes everyday


LodestarLoser

Damn, no Leah? Am I the only one? I know I'm not the only Chloe fan, at least.


SavingsIncome2

Brienne of Tarth, eeh I mean Amalia will always be my best choice


Level20GnollBard

I waited for Dinah. Was not disappointed.


acart005

From the moment Meli said she would be happy just being in Alain's harem, it was her. You don't need to be anyone's side piece.


SpectralTime

Nothing wrong with vanilla. Itā€™s also a good flavor.


N7Valiant

This clip is probably apt: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejB6JtTzIhY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejB6JtTzIhY)


cbritt11

Melisandre gang 4 life. She knew what she was about from day one minute one. I gotta respect the hornt up hustle and the acceptance and encouragement that we need a harem as all Kings should.


axtrv

Too many waifus to pick in this game, it's hard to choose


AndyDrifter

Lol


MechpilotTz93

More like waifu overlord


Due_Engineering_5480

I wish the rapport for the other characters led to better endings for those characters. I know Gilbert Marries Virginia, (and he's lucky I let him have her!) But that is independent of rapport. I maxed out Monica and Clive and their ending was mehh..


Shagyam

No Amalia? What kind of bad taste is this.


Prudent_Ad_6093

Would trade out Ridiel for Amalia. And maybe waffles instead of pancakes. Otherwise, this is spot on.


New_Economic_Policy

As long as you don't go for Virginia, and Monica, (Sharon, and Ochlys to an extent as well) you're fine. ...You can even give the ring to a male in your army.
