I can push my Liberty to 5 by talking to the two npc present in the vote but this does not seem to matter whatsoever. Then I decided I want to do a mix of Utility/Liberty instead, and on my second playthrough, I came into the vote with 5 Utility and 3 Liberty (if the wiki is accurate, and if you don't get any conviction shift outside of dialogue choices, more on that later). When I reached the vote, wanting to visit Aefrost, I could convince everyone except Benedict to visit Aefrost (though Frederica took more than one attempt).
Checking the wiki after the fact, it turns out Morality was almost certainly the highest for me, followed by Liberty (which is surprising cause I was going for the exact opposite, Utility first, with equal or lesser Liberty). The first playthrough I did, I picked blindly. The Conviction system baffles me, mechanically, and this came to a head during the vote to visit either Aefrost or Hyzante. Traditions? Honor? Duty? Surely Utility and Liberty are Morals too, just different priorities no? Aefrost itself seems to represent these ideal more? Am I misunderstanding this conviction? However it is consistently represented by Frederica, who seems more concern with doing well by everyone and fulfilling her duties from what I’ve seen of the demo and the trailers. Freedom and stuffs, with a touch of meritocracy. Some Utility choices (dismissing the bandits at the beginning as brigands) I just plain don’t understand, but I suppose that’s unavoidable if your every single choice must fall into one of three paths in some way. But then some choices I thought would be Utility (such as saying we should avoid showing weakness at the competition) turns out to be Morality instead. I’m up to part 2 of chapter 3 of the demo.Īs I understand it Utility is something like Utilitarianism, something is good if it produces positive results regardless of conventional ethics, the ends justify the means.
Can someone explain how the three convictions differ for me? I thought I was picking Utility first, Liberty second, but after checking the wiki it turns out most of my choices had been Morality aligned instead.
