Looking for motivation in Tribunal plot...

Post by jdougan1 »

OK - I am fairly far into Tribunal, and suddenly I find my self (or rather, my charecter) unmotivated to go any further....

I have completed several quests for the Temple, and now Alemexia wants me to unleash ashstorms on the locals as punishment..... I just finished getting rid of the ash storms when I completed the main quest - so I am loathe to start them up again, even if it is in a different location. Besides, Alemexia seems a tad...extreme?

Then there is the King. He tried to kill me. Now he acts like all is forgiven, and wants me to protect his mother - but it sounds like a setup. And, call me picky - but I am not really motivated to help someone who tried to have me murdered....

So...help me our here. I don't like the sound of either of the main options here. Am I missing an option? I did drop in on Vivec for advice, and he noted that Alamexia really liked being a god and would have trouble having to give it up - but that isn't much to go on.

Am I missing something obvious? Right now, I have walked away from the game for a bit because I don't see any reasonable path.

Advice?

Thanks in advance...

I've just played through (first time). I had figured out who was behind the assassination plot, so I never sided with the king. I didn't trust Amalexia either, after starting up the ash storm and talking to the supposedly mad leader of the End of Times cult, but I sided with her since I was a member of the Temple. Without spoiling too much, I'd say pick whichever option appeals most and play through - the outcome will surprise you.
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.
