Make Marchosias more intimidating during choice encounters?

[brave wren]

(I've only made it to the third meeting so far, so there's possibly a lore reason for this I've missed)

This might be very nitpicky regarding game details, but everytime I encounter Marchosias, it feels silly how the Lamb is just forced to make a choice, when there isn't any visible force. The Bishops would "grab" the Lamb and hold them down during encounters/choices (e.g., bow or fight), but with Marchosias the Lamb just kinda runs up to the reception desk and lightly ponders their options.

I think it would be neat if the Marchosias encounters were more like an ambush, or something to catch the Lamb off-guard and vulnerable, just to make that dread feel more real during those moments.

I kinda agree

We need to make it more thretening like have him take all the Woods and stones resorces or all the gold and gold bars

Or have him take all our livestocks or all our bones

[sick flume]

Oh absolutely. I just decided to suspend my disbelief when encountering him but it definitely needs more 'force' involved.

I can kind of see the first meeting working in a sense of... 🤔
"Hey, maybe if I give this we can establish good diplomacy. A token of good will."

But the 2nd and 3rd meeting the lamb should have the option to refuse both the other options since Mar has already made it clear at that point he has no will to make peace with you (player), ending in a fight. (Against a mini-boss while Mar leaves? Maybe?) .

This could work to further point out Marchosias is being hypocritical and gives you sh-t no matter which option you choose as well.

This.

I thought you meant make the things actually be hard choices.

That would also help, tbh. Handing over a bunch of your resources feels more like an annoyance than anything, especially when you can get bones for rituals to negate the immediate problems pretty darn easily.
