So far she has not improved her manners. She still considers herself the epitome of the only gender really worth having. Furthermore she cannot congratulate you on your victories without hinting that your positions should be reversed (you should fight for her country, she should rule and give you treats/medals).

I find it a bit infuriating. A bit.

And I share some annoyance that you have to accept the whole package; the game doesn't allow you to disagree with astonishing hypocrisy and still (for better reasons) choose the same actions she would have chosen.

Once I refused to increase the female generals' wages, solely because the only one that wanted it was the one I hoped would quit.

Bundling sensible decisions with poor reasoning adds little depth to the game. It seems nonsensical to have to "agree" with her in order to implement the policies she suggests. (Sometimes I can treat the choice as a thumbs up/thumbs down issue and pretend I didn't respond with the words that were on the screen.)

I bear with it though. The flavour of the game features a small cast of ridiculously exaggerated representatives (dwarves/representative are purely greedy, undead are religious fanatics through and through, Edmund is utterly racist and Catherine is equally sexist).

Alternate arcs where you make decisions for your own reasons would probably add greatly to the development time and cost for this game.
