SPOILERS AHEAD
(First post, don't know how to use tags)
So, my idea is based on very simple logic. Raphael seems like a very powerful NPC-Magicy type of character, being able to suppress communication through the tadpole as well as other more extreme abilities.
Since he can do all that, and given that we are given the choice to side with literally anyone in the game, shouldn't we be able to propose different rewards other than the Orphic Hammer from Raphael?
I'm not talking about INFINITE POWER, or anything like that. Simple roleplaying choices that could also improve romance storylines.
Examples of Crown for X:
- Freeing Wyll from his contract.(might be complicated to do)
- Replacing Karlach's hell engine with a normal heart.
- Giving Shadowheart/Dark Urge their memories back.
- The ability to control the endgame boss without transforming.
These are all, in my opinion, flavorful options that might be worth getting in a hellish contract for.
As a DM, I know for a fact that my players would choose something like that for a better roleplaying experience instead of the options they have in game(which are totally valid and very fun to explore).
I would like to hear what people think about this and whether you would like it's implementation, if possible, into the game down the road.
Thanks for reading!
