Marius romance

How do I get on Marius's romance route? I keep getting rejected because he fell for Raeann, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong though. I kept hinting that he should pick Ari instead but he's just not interested. Are there specific choices that need to be made in order to romance Marius?

Thanks for playing!

Màrius is always going to fall for Raeann - it's an inevitable part of who he is. To win him over, Ari has to be a reliable, steady friend to him even while he's going after Raeann. 

Some advice:

  • The game has an alignment system and, generally, a caring, softer Ari is going to have better odds winning Màrius over.
  • There are some key opportunities quite early in the game (before you meet Reckon) for Ari to show that he understands and values Màrius. Màrius won't forget this, even if he does go after Raeann.
  • If you make it onto the boat and Ari has a conversation with Màrius, being really open about his feelings, and Màrius rejects him, then he's committed to the Raeann relationship and you won't get another opportunity.

Good luck!

I still can't get it right. I did the poly route without any problems, but as soon as I try to go the "pick me, not her" route, I get rejected. I tried so many combinations and it just won't work. Could you please give me some more advice, or let me know what specific choices I should pick to win Marius over? I've replayed the game about 4-5 times already and still no luck :(

OK, I pulled out the game code so I could give you some more specific advice. Try playing as a softer, gentler Ari, and surrendering to the soldiers at the start - if you play your cards right you'll have a good heart-to-heart, and that'll really help out long term. (It's also possible to not surrender to the soldiers and still make it work, but it requires some very deliberate choice-making and is a bit trickier).

You'll know pretty quick if he's into it, because the conversation about how he's into Raeann can go in a direction that it sounds like you haven't seen before.

Good luck!

Finally managed to finish his route! Thanks a lot, turns out I've been one correct choice away all this time. Great game and I wish you good luck in your future projects! Looking forward to them :)
