That is some amazingly baseless confidence you have there, Esquilax. I gave clear reasons for why I expect the teamwork to fail in A (Girl is scared shitless and we don't have any real notion of his defenses plus we have to do this strategy session in a short amount of time).
Whatever crap he's using to survive the sword stabs, we'll figure it out if we use B, but if we do A, we won't. It is unreasonable to expect to overcome his defenses with an unreliable ally and without even understanding these defenses and plan all of this quickly.
Then flop to B. A is doomed to failure.Guys, we're about 150 pages away from surpassing the Pillars of Eternity thread. Let's not fuck up and die.
Shall I interpret this as a ranked preference A>B>C vote?At this point I just don't want D to win. We came here specifically to stop this guy from killing anyone else, we started fighting him, and now we're just going to fuck off and let him kill everyone here?
She will definitely fail. Here's the problem: Zhang Minyue has already lost the mental battle. Jian Yixiao has the Chixiao Sword with its commanding aura. The girl could not match him when she wanted to, and she certainly cannot fight him now that her spirit is gone. Jing does not have the kind of amazing charisma to help her regain her fighting spirit. It is gone. She already lost the fight. She could try to fight if we encourage her, but she will fail and lose.
And Wuxiang Qiankun is not an all-or-nothing option. We mix in Wuxiang Qiankun with the rest of our tricks. We're not obligated to handicap ourselves by staying in Wuxiang Qiankun the entire time if indeed it would be a handicap. We can mix in chaos qi if that's what works. Even if Jian Yixiao turns out to be a demon, we would fuck him up anyway. Did Zhang Jue go "oh snap it's an oni better give up on conventional weapons?" No, he killed it anyway - because you can do that.
Close enough. She ran to the safest place she could find.Zhang Minyue ducks behind you, her eyes wide with fear.
Fixed it for you.Actually the choices are more clear than someone thinks:
A-works only if he is a demon, else is suicidal, very bad.
B-we have a fighting chance if he is a human, otherwise we can't harm him, very bad.
That's the point, D works if he ie weack, so is just giving up our chance to kill him.Yeah but if we pick D we will have to fight him again later, and I'm not sure our abilities will improve so quickly in the meantime, so I'm curious how we'll have better odds next time. He's weakened now.
Actually this is an argument in favor of B, even if he is a demon we can still fight him, and resort to kissing afterwards.Fixed it for you.Actually the choices are more clear than someone thinks:

If WQS does not work, switching back to chaotic mode returns us to step one, where we've already been had.
But that's a non-issue, since it will totes work, right?
Yeah but if we pick D we will have to fight him again later, and I'm not sure our abilities will improve much in the meantime, so I'm curious how we'll have better odds next time. He's weakened now.
Sorry, you have to choose now. Either you fight and kiss him, or you fight and fight him. That's what the choice is for.Actually this is an argument in favor of B, even if he is a demon we can still fight him, and resort to kissing afterwards.

Why does Jing has to be so stiff with his reactions. When shit goes bad (but still is not critical) he should change to the second best option!Sorry, you have to choose now. Either you fight and kiss him, or you fight and fight him. That's what the choice is for.Actually this is an argument in favor of B, even if he is a demon we can still fight him, and resort to kissing afterwards.
You want to kiss, go A. You want to fight conventionally, go B. There won't be a magical switch from one choice to the other in the middle of the update, similarly how there won't be a choice to call Zhou guards for help if we don't manage the Demon alone.
The claims people make baffle me sometimes. The LP is ongoing for the better part of the year. Was there a single update where things have been different?
And when it fails, to the third one. With rollbacks, if need be!Why does Jing has to be so stiff with his reactions. When shit goes bad (but still is not critical) he should change to the second best option!
Esquilax said:Let's assume that Jian Yixiao is a demon for a second. If that's the case, we know that the surest - and perhaps only - way of defeating him seems to be by using Jing's chaotic qi. But if you're using Wuxiang Qiankun, you're using hisqi. So if he is a demon, you aren't going to be killing him while your using his qi. Again, assuming that he is a demon. Which, we can't really know to begin with.
Mostly because it is the only way to kill a demon we've seen with our own eyes. It's not like we encounter those often.Why is A considered the only way to kill him if he is a demon?
