Gotta ask that we keep the Cao'er vote ahead, though, she can likely help us with the arm of we provide feedback. Or just cuddle with us, giggling creepily. That's always nice.
Sorry, the latter is far more probable than the former.
I get it, I love Cao'er to death, too, but this choice seems to be about our further interactions more than anything else. Even though I'd love to see Cao'er get more spotlight, the sad truth is that she is not very related to the plotline. Then again, Qilin wasn't, too, and see how that turned out.
I don't think we'll be better off with the arm, since it's the
other choice that takes care of it. And I don't suppose that if Cao'er had any advice for us to give, she didn't give it already. It's what she does. She is our medic. She can't be withholding that from us. That is even without going into that we love each other.
Just want to keep the reasoning grounded.
Incidentally, I do like the increasing number of consequences imposed by having a harem. Maintaining relationships with the Jingbitches is costing us power-ups and forcing us to spread our focus overly broadly.
The consequences aren't as simple as that.
What we are getting is a trio of very badass fighters that can take over the Huashan Summit together (if we live that long). Qilin looks like she has a potential to become the next Great with proper training, and so does Yunzi. Seeing how the battle is a free-for-all, I think the orthodoxes will be in for a surprise.
It is a difference between our syncro-fight with the Abbot alongside Yunzi, and a sad supercharged faggotry. I'd take the former over the latter anytime.
