I've been straying too far from Naga's light and ended up on SF, it couldn't be as bad as redshit...
How wrong I was!
Anyways, amusing take I noticed was
"you should have been given a chance to hear Edel in the tomb and rhea refusing and turning into a dragon would have been more of an incentive to fight against her"
Which is uh... Not that wrong per se, but in what kind of an alternate reality would it have changed a thing?
Rhea willing to pause and listen to Edel would mean :
She's willing to listen to the person who (to her knowledge Flamey and the Monica gang are one and the same) :
Knows about their draconic identities (why capturing Flayn for her blood otherwise?)
Plans to use her dead sibling's hearts to turn humans into monsters
Knows their identities plus the power of their blood and hearts --> she might want to turn them into gauntlets or work with the people who turned her family into shiny weapons
Let a serial killer kill random students (until he found her niece)
Remire
Jeralt's death and the students turned into monsters just before his death
Tried to kill the professor in the forest
Right now ; ordered them all to be killed if they tried to oppose her and brought Metodey
Fought against her former classmates + Billy and tried to kill them
Is hell bent on recovering every crest stone
Not everything's right in those takes, and Rhea can only guess so much with the limited cards she has in her hands.
The simple fact that she's able to express regret when we met her in the tailtean plains shows that she has calmed down a bit - but here in chapter 11? The revelations + living right now someone barging again in her home to steal her dead brethren's powers, on top of being threatened and having some of her beloved students being threatened too?
There's no way Rhea’s going to accept anything else but Edel's immediate death.
Which is sad, because she wouldn't listen to anything, even if, per miracle, Edel suddenly decided to spill the beans - whatever those beans could be... (the Agarthians experimented on me I swore I'll destroy them but I need to kill you first because... Eww dragons? )
Which is why her overreaction is perfectly coherent - it might shock the player and might be the reason why you'd pick "no I will protect Edel" option. Not because you'd care about Edel, but because you want to know why and hoped Edel would give you answers about the crests, the beasts, why Jeralt died etc... But nope :) on a side note some SF posters felt tricked, they only wanted to know the truth but picking this choice led them to be embarked on the "Adrestia great again" train...
Otoh, thinking about the Tailtean convo, Rhea regrets having to fight Edel who's her first friend's descendant, but she doesn't go ballistic seeing her new relic - did she knew it was a fake one?
Tailtean happens after Flayn and Seteth's fight, we can't meet birdie in CF so it Rhea could have come to the worst conclusion (Indech/Macuil was turned into an axe?). Idk maybe some "who did you slaughter to make that weapon?!" thing.
Gfdi I'd die for some nabatean content any kind of content as long as gremlin's not here.
