Oh yeah, Marion. To be fair, he does work his ass off keeping the nobles in line even if you disagree with his advice every step of the way (yes, please send me all your troops kthx) and from a political point of view it's ideal for solidifying your brother's rule, so i wasn't too hung up over it.
Oh yeah, for a minute I thought about accepting his proposition, after the initial look at how harsh the rejection is. But then the night came and I was like "nope, I did not promise that". Thankfully the price for rejecting him was still low a finger and mental scars on the brother

Yeah, for me... I felt the Nobles would stir up trouble further down the line given the amount of stuff i had Marion shove down their throats, if i didn't give them what they wanted as well. The game specifically mentioned that the veteran well-equipped troops were all from the Nobles' territories with the Royals mostly having levies and... i had a feeling that was not an accident and it hinted at a rebellion that was best nipped in the bud.

Yup. On top of "leaving your only family who is also in danger if one exists". I'm kinda interesting in checking it out, but goddamn does it stupid on the MC part especially the "sit in a tent for 2 days not doing anything". Like girl.

...anyway, I am kinda interested what will happen on the Union Council and how the storyline will follow from there.

Also it kinda sucks that even when you decide to marry Marrion "for the good of the realm" you have to sleep with him and that you cannot go "I done what I had to do, now go away to your own room".
yeah this is the wrong type of game to let you have a paper marriage, cuz people want sex scenes

I think the problem with agreeing to flee with Kate looking very stupid could be partially solved by making her somehow force Sarah go with her if the player chooses the option to submit to Kate X times in a row. Alternatively she could just vaguely say Sarah is in danger, needs to trust her and has follow her to the port during the night. Following her wouldn't sound as bad because the choice wouldn't involve straight up ditching Thomas. Sarah could believe she's just avoiding an immediate danger and get on the ship without realizing she won't be able to come back in a few days.

I guess you can say it's not a problem if you assume Sarah is either an idiot or blinded by feelings she has for Kate, but that probably feels awkward if you want her to become a badass soldier or mage later.

Nooo I'm saying it would make sense if Kate could force you to go with her if you keep sleeping with her, in reference to discussion on page 65. Currently you have to make an objectively bad/stupid choice to open up those cool "outside paths" and I was just offering ideas that might getting there less akward. You can go full prude and still escape the castle with Kate.

It's admittedly been a while, but most of the outside paths could also be accessed by having a small window of opportunity to evacuate the castle if the war ends up going poorly. The only change is you wouldn't have Kate along, but considering you spend a couple of weeks sitting in a tent if you do leave with her, it shouldn't pose a lot of problems with the timeline.
