#arewethatcruel is a good tag. i am rubbing my invisible but very curly beard in thought.
Part of me goes “I WANT TO SEE THIS”, the other part of me goes “Oh god please no the character wank in fandom would go from tolerable to jesus-fuck-meltdown-every-other-day levels”.
This could be interesting if handled well
also please give the player a chance to respond in different ways that aren’t all i am so betrayed zomg cuckold!!11
no i am not still mad i couldn’t be in a poly relationship w/ isabela and merrill we all loved each other you know…CAN YOU IMAGINE IF ALISTAIR HAD JJGJNHJFNHJNFJ
Most hated character alive or most hated character alive?
…oh my god, there would be SO MUCH WANK. I LOVE IT. Now I sort of want Alistair to cheat, or maybe have the audacity to love again if the Warden dies.
I want this. If the main character can do it to others, why can’t others do it to you? POWER TO SECONDARY CHARACTERS! DOWN WITH PROTAGONIST EXCEPTIONALISM!
^Poupon’s response ftw.
Seriously though, I doubt this could work, unless properly managed. Too much lead-up, and the eventual ‘cheating’ becomes predictable. Too little, and it probably seem ‘shallow’, and wouldn’t do justice to the narrative. Not to mention that the drama would be pretty jarring to… um, ‘squad interaction’ - diverting focus from other aspects of their (that is, the LI’s) character.
