"Hair wound around her hair" - this could be accurate and I'm just stupid, but I can't imagine it and I feel like maybe the second 'hair' should be something else.
I definitely feel like, as of right now, there may be some slight balance difficulties - there are some events which feel inalienably part of the main story that you need certain skills for, but by doing those skills it's almost impossible to diversify your routes.

Omg yes, sorry, I meant it would be odd if you could pass a rhetoric check with Blade 50 - sometimes you can dupe your way through checks with secondary skills (i.e. breaking into places with Deception instead of Intrusion), but I understand there's a limit on how much sense that makes writing-wise! Like, I image Zorana doing sick sword tricks to impress Erilotti at the reception and Erilotti just being like ... okay we will not be voting for this one. So blade seems to have less checks than deception, which makes sense in-story but gameplay-wise makes blade feel exponentially weaker than deception to level.
Love the evening gown and pilot outfits! I also really love her base dress, it's so cute and I wish I could wear it the whole game without sacrificing optimization lol
I don't know if I'm missing anything, but I feel like I very rarely train any of the weapons, terrain, etc. skills mentioned previously because it feels like you have to get them super high to pass the only few skill checks they have in the game. Personally, I would be more inclined to train them if either there were more checks that relied on them or if the thresholds to pass were much lower. Compared to the interaction/emotion/ships categories that have a ton of checks throughout the game so it makes sense to train them to the highest level. Understand there's only so much that you can balance with that though, it would be odd if you could pass every check with a 50 blade skill lol
Absolutely adore the worldbuilding - the reason why Long Live the Queen is one of my favorite games ever, and why this will definitely be one once I finally solve the plot threads, lol.
One of the interesting things about fantasies set in space is the necessary question of colonisation, what staking claims to moons and stars and their surrounding areas entails and whether it has any difference from the equivalent practice on Earth, and I love the way the Heru are written to that end. Apologies if I'm hugely misreading your game HanakoGames!

I feel like LLTQ didn't get too much into monarchy vs. common people beyond a few short dialogue boxes and Elodie's occasional Marie Antoinette moments, but I definitely think there's a lot more to think through here. Also love the Maus' spirituality, such a cute little cat reference. Another excellent game full of pieces to look into.
I finally got her to be on council, but I'm not spreadsheeting or writing down anything - I think maybe it had something to do with replying favorably to the moons of Svargas on Turn 17, but haven't checked intensively. That theoretically propels her from hostile to just negative, which allows me to at least meet with her to ask her to be on council.
Sorry that I'm just begging you for info, but do you have any info on how Erilotti came onto your council? She hates me every time :( I feel like the choices I'm making are always pro-Mau but then every time I make it over she always hates me and I'm not sure what else I can do!
I just started playing around, but it seems like no matter what I do Khdarr is hostile to me and won't even meet me for a cabinet position - is there an early story choice I'm missing that affects her feelings?
