    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    The Cult's Knowledge is pretty expansive, and each level gives a bonus. For example, Level 2 in Lantern doesn't just give a +2 to the roll, but it gives 1 + 2 from both Level 1 and Level 2. Adding up all of the Cult's Knowledge Levels like that gives a total of +39.

    [X] You will not forgive him. But deep down, you do not resent him either.

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    There's a quote for this. I'm not sure if I could put it more eloquently, myself.

    [X] Turns out, she just needed some happy company!

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    I'm leaning toward the Lore introduction simply because I don't think the Forge's Redemption is worth the investment right now. However, the Lore option does come with aspects I'm wary about. Mainly, the risk of Celestia noticing Cadance, and the potential of Mareinette somehow perverting...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    I like how the Silky choice has no consequences, but it has no benefits, either. This vote is really between the Lore and Ritual options unless we come to the conclusion that the drawbacks are simply not worth it. But I will note that Cadance has no Moth Lore, and she is unlikely to raise it...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    I've been dreaming of the day the Lunar Bureau finally learns more about the Lores. Edge is a strong first pick, even more so with the various threats lurking around. It's a shame we can't put more focus into developing the Bureau's knowledge further given how tight our AP is, especially since...

    [X] You gave him a warning. [X] Open it.

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    I don't remember what vote won for how we would handle the Lores in the Bureau, but I do think we were encouraging them? It's worth keeping in mind for how we choose to react to Midday Dew.

    I would guess that this is a laptop, but it's clearly called a Lapdog and calling it anything else would simply be wrong.

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    We didn't Leash Filthy Rich and we didn't replace the original Twilight. Velvet still has a  hint of morality left. It's not much, but at least it's there.

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    Not in this case, at least from my perspective. If we need to spend even a single action getting Twilight up to speed, that's already a major waste in my book. If we're giving up a Name's action for one of Velvet's, bringing Twilight on isn't worth the investment that'd require.

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    Every time Twilight comes up, this quest gets cursed. I wish we could have just focused on DoA and all the cool alternate reality stuff going on around us. The worst part is, if the Twilight option wins, we'll be dealing with these arguments for longer than just this vote. We  really need to...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    The end of the post here: Implies that the human Twilight isn't the Element of Magic. Describing pony Twilight as "the Element of Magic" to specify her over the "student of Canterlot High" makes it pretty clear that the alternate Twilight isn't an Element.

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    I wonder if Selene would be able to ascend on her own, or if the twin nature of her being means that if she ascends, Celestia does as well.

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    I'm very curious about the status of "love" in this version of the Mansus. The Mansus we see in the game is explicitly called out as "no place for lovers." Given the existence of Akulites and all they entail, that makes sense, especially when combined with an adept's constant drive for Glory and...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    So, putting aside all moral/empathetic/narrative reasons about the Twilight choice, I don't think it's worth it mechanically. A Confidante can be really good, but I would expect us to need to take a few actions to settle things. At this point in the quest, I don't want even more choices for...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    I'm pretty sure DoA is going to outright kidnap her. I don't think she'll get a chance. EDIT: Completely misread this. Ignore me.

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    We cannot forget that Velvet is the daughter of a rich family. Truly, that upbringing perfectly prepared her for this wondrous, alternate world.

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    I really can't accept the argument of "if we can't help her, we might as well throw her away."
