I see you picked Erana. That's good & all, but I don't see why not Katrina, seeing that she sacrificed her life for you, previously.

[ClassicLetsPlay]

What Ovaltine Patrol said - plus the Paladin gets the bonus at the end of QG4 of a 'love scene' between himself and Erana, so it's kind of a logical follow up. Kind of. :)

[Nonamearisto]

Well, Katrina DID Geas the hero, nearly unleash Avoozl, and she was the one who put his life in danger to begin with (teleporting him to Mordavia, among other things...)

Erana, by contrast, gave her life for EVERYONE in order to stop Avoozl the first time... not to mention, she was not a vampire, nor evil, and she was an active force for good in the world... that helps.

[OvaltinePatrol]

The choice was presumably made because Katrina cannot be wooed by a Paladin.

[Crymson1]

@punymoron Erana is a selfless, philanthropic being of love and light. She sacrificed herself to keep Avoozl from entering and ending the world. Katrina was an evil vampire who was willing to more or less end the world for everybody else so that she would be able to walk around during the daytime. She sacrificed herself for the hero, sure, but it was made quite clear earlier in QFG4 that if the hero were successful in summoning Avoozl, she'd have converted him to a vampire afterward. 

[Nottyler]

I think the hero should choose Erana not because of some love interest for himself, but because ultimately her life would benefit EVERYONE! The wooing thing is just a perk.

Ya Katrina for sure! Remember that scene with her in leather and the whip? meow.

[Falchion1984]

@unrealrush7 My guess is that the Guardian was testing your sincercity, your willingness to give your life, and was content with a courageous reply. Besides, the Hero probably FELT as if he gave his life after the Guardian worked him over.

[Falchion1984]

@OvaltinePatrol I was kinda puzzled by that and had to chalk it up to Katrina not being used to not being a vampire anymore. If you do pick her, she shrouds her island with a spell to avoid the sun. One a side note, did you know the Hero can marry Elsa and Nawar too?

[Falchion1984]

@punymoron As a, very, late tack-end to what ClassicLetsPlay said, the character guide says Katrina isn't suitable for a Paladin. Maybe she's turn down a Paldin character?

On a side note, a fighter or thief can marry Elsa and a thief can marry Nawar.

@cwxzeng

True, but I meant in the same playthrough.

Also, it's funny that two different people responded on the same day to comments I posted in two different videos in this series over four months ago.

@SchlossRitter save the game and replay it lol

[viperxeon]

I agree, her soul was tainted by evil, and her soul tortured, a paladins duty is to help free tortured souls regardless of what they have done. To show them the way of good.

[SchlossRitter]

True, but 1/2 times 1/2 still leaves you with 1/4. Then you just have to leave your stamina grinding for afterwards. Just treadmill past the point of exhaustion, slamming Healing Potions as neccessary.
