I've been misleading you.
So far, my posts have portrayed Sable's Siege as being from her POV. While I haven't technically "lied" to you, I may have misled by omission. So, what element of Sable's Siege haven't I discussed?
A compelling one: You don't play as Sable.
No, the titular character of SABLE'S Siege is, to borrow from Resident Evil 3, your nemesis. She is the hunter and hunted; the queen to be corrupted.
Which begs the question: Who's the corrupter?
You are. And not in the typical eroge sense, which is by corrupting the heroine via inaction, or how playing poorly leads to NSFW outcomes. No, you possess volition, power, and the means to corrupt Sable Noctis.
So, who do you play as? I'll talk more about him in a later bio post, but you are Commander Kaios, leader of the rampaging Horde that's conquered its way up to the walls of Noctis Castle. And it's from Kaios' POV that you'll command your mercenary army of men, beasts, and monsters to "motivate" Sable's corruption, assuming she doesn't do it herself...
In combat instances, Kaios doesn't sully his hands with the pitiful garrison Sable throws at him. No, Kaios commands, and his men obey. So, during combat instances with Sable and/or her garrison, Kaios' men are his sword arm; their cumulative health is Kaios'. Everything, from Troop Morale to their Lust, is yours to wield, to say nothing of the spicier "combat" in SS.
As Kaios, create a build that min/maxes for enemy Morale damage, stunning, and sending Sable's units packing with devastating Commands. Equip Kaios with three-piece weapon/armor/accessory sets with unique synergy bonuses specializing in raising Sable's Lust when she appears on the battlefield, or, harnessing the Rampage mechanic, create a doomstack multi-wave Troop, calling in reinforcements to overwhelm Sable and her garrison.
Conquer by any means necessary, but, above all else, corrupt Sable Noctis.
There's plenty more I'll share on how you truly play Sable's Siege, as well as the many ways Sable reacts to your aggressions, but we'll save that for a later post. In the meantime, thanks again for supporting SS.
