The Bastard of Camelot

I wonder if Gareth will find lady Lynette

It's been so long since I've read an interactive story where I got genuinely super invested in everything happening, this is amazing so far!
Hell, it's so good that I'm leaving a comment on itch.io for the first time ever! I can't wait to see what's next.

(Also, I'm reaaaaally hoping we get the option to kill Lot one day)

GALAHAD!!!!

This is absolutely amazing 😭🫶 I need more!! I like how there's various different choices to shape Mordred's character and her relationship with others. I'm looking forward to actually meeting Isac, I think he's gonna be the RO I would choose. Can't wait for the update 😍

Absolutely phenomenal, created an account just to follow this so that I can continue when it updates.

I also may or may not make a second run-through where I'm as much of a piece of **** to everyone as I possibly can.

Does anyone have any news on the author? Last I heard she was suffering from a health problem on her hands, I wonder if they're ok.

I love love love how much the interactions are affected by your past choices! You really get to shape your own character and the story responds in a way that feels natural

I like this alot, sometimes made me cry because of the position of the mc or maybe because I relate to them. So so so so well written, very very interesting. I know you put all your effort in this, I can tell by the writing. I wish you goodluck on your progress!

ALSO WE LOVE KITTIES!! :3

This is honestly better than I expected, those reddit comments do NOT play when it comes to IF recs. Off topic, what if we could romance a dragon

this is so good! Love Elaine so much!

This is a really fun twine game! 

Any news on the progress in chapter 5? I was kinda assuming there might would be an update in early October nonetheless i am sure it's going to turn out as perfection..take your time and do let us know if there is any progress UwU

hi, I encounter some error in chapter 5 at the choice where Morgana want us to learn about Elaine and the last choice “"I'll talk to her, to get to know her," you say carefully, "but I don't know if I want to play spy." It feels underhanded.”

I don’t know what this is all about but I want to let you know!

An error has occurred. You may be able to continue, but some parts may not work properly.

Error: Can't find variable: fals.

lovely story! The angst and turmoil is so well written

just a small opinion: chapters 4 and 5 feels like the game is pushing Elaine onto you too hard, forcing you to be interested and befriend her even if it’s not romantic.  It’s either spend time with Elaine or pages and pages of info dump, it’s kinda boring for players that have no interest in her.  It would be great to have more of the other ROs as option to hang out, or even some other characters. 

haha poor Gareth, Mordred seems to unintentionally hog the attention of their mother, and their uncle (or father-uncle in our case), and can go after the poor fellow's betrothed too - even if he's pretty nice about it all right now.

Great story so far, can't wait for the rest of chapter 5!! and justice for Gareth, best brother

Gods... I hope the rest of the story drops soon, otherwise I might implode in expectation. Goodjob llama! You've written a story worthy of Camelot!

this is easily THE best IF i have ever read. the amount of talent, skill, and creativity that has gone into this is genuinely astounding. i love this IF, but i cant help but hate that i have to wait to read more. anyways, im definitely looking forward to the next update. 

side note: gawain route supremacy forever!!!!

Not to seem unappreciative of the work you put in your work and the astounding skill you get it,i can't help but feel a bit impatient..this whole storyline you have created is soo enticing and trust when i say i am not doing empty flattery when i say,you have just created a masterpiece,soo i was wondering if there is going to be a hypothetical date that will announce when the next update arrives,it kinda will clam my excited nerves down a bit as i will know that i will have something to look forward to and be patient for,i am not asking you to provide a clear date,as i know that you are putting your all into it as can be seen from your writing but a hypothetical date..if possible 

So. I just had to say, that this IF hooked me so bad, it was in my mind for the last 15 days straight, with no competition at all, even though I tried so hard to get inspired by sth new. 

Well. Now I began this story anew - for the third time ☝🏻❤️ 

Oh my god I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I do! I'd say this is my current favorite game of the year! I'm so excited and eagerly awaiting new updates!

Pros: 

• I adore the relationships between all the characters. Every character feels genuine and lovable. 
• I also love the descriptions and world building.
• The amount of choices makes this game so much fun and rewarding. 
• Seeing the character stats and relationships change, make the world feel real. I love this!
• Love the LGBTQIA+ friendly story writing.
• I enjoyed seeing the dialogues of other characters and I REALLY hope we see dialogue of the love interests thoughts on Mordred in the future as well!

Fixes To Make:

• There are definitely a few typos here and there but not too many to be concerned with. Definitely needs a one-over to check them all.
• Some descriptions of the world takes me out of the medieval fantasy world setting. Words like "sofa", "ice cream", "straw hat", "Mom" (instead of mother also due to the time period and the fact they are nobles) might benefit from being replaced by more olden day, time period accurate words. 
• Some of the game's chapters I felt dragged on a bit too long like the pre wedding ones where perhaps a day and then a time skip might've been better suited. Not a bad thing at all btw! The writing is amazing, I just wanted to get to interactions faster.

Overall this game is wonderful, I highly recommend others play it, and Llamagirl should be proud of the work they have created! <333

I love the world you've built! The characters are so complex, it's simply amazing❤️ I love how every RO we've Met so far has a unique personality and feels authentic. Though I might add that I'm too ivested in Galahads route to really consider any of the other's with more than Just curiosity. For me Galahads reactions to an innocent and kind Mordred are everything! I love his path of Independence he's taking, how he just melts more and more and becomes more than this imitation of his dad. 

Awesome update in chapter 5 hoping for more anxiously.

danced with my worst enemy, my day has been made <3

jaw dropped when i checked in for an update, I cannot get enough

The way I absolutely LOST it when we get to see Galahad again, and even more so in the scenes that followed! Absolutely love the world you're depicting piece by piece so far, and also enjoying the variety of ways we can play around with relationships, especially with regards to Morgana! In love with your writing, I hope to always be pleasantly surprised by the subtlety of it <3

There's a minor bug in the demo:

<<if $water_magic == "sometimes" or $water_magic == "yes">><div class="choice">[[You won't be intimidated. Attempt it too, invoking the Goddess.|Chapt3GalConfrontShy3][$chapt3_shyness to 2, $Galahad to $Galahad+1]]</div><</if>>

The problem is, $water_magic is a numerical value of Mordred's skill. This check should be instead testing variable $water_study

edit: a bit more serious error -- there's a number of situations where the game adjusts variable $shy but the problem is, this variable is never defined in the first place. So all these adjustments do nothing, and any checks for value of this variable are bound to fail. Perhaps the game should be adjusting variable $confident in these cases?

Well, I created this account only to comment here and tell you: Thank you. For writing this beautiful game, for making these memorable characters, for all the touches of humor and for everything you have done and keep doing. Thanks for the update. And I hope you get well soon. Patiently waiting for more. This series is the best I have ever played. ( Thanks for creating Nimue.

well tbh i litterly cant define the inner shouting of joy going inside me when i saw there has been an update,although i fell well perhaps ufairly feel a bit disheartend seeing as how small the update seemed or it is just me,but it was still exciting...i hope there was more dioluges for modred converstion with merlin like i hoped that they would have properly interacted at the whole forced marriage thing,i would have abosultely relished saying a few words to him about being a father himself and enjoying the privilage of joy that comes with a family yet stealing that from modred with mere prophices to justify it,on top of it having nerve to show him his pethatic smile,i almost lothe him as much as morgana and i would sooners wipe that smile of his face with a washing broom then giving him the pleasentry and decency of a smile cant we just kill him? like murder was the thing on my mind when modred met him,i saw red lol,your writting is litterly soo enthrilling and captiviating,it just put you in a position where you apply what modred feels to yourself.espacially if you can relate to him some ways all too differntly...its certinaly written expecatinaly well,the writing initself and the chracters in a way all but feel seduactive grasping your intrest at the whole plot and desire to seek retribution for modred,very much soo by trapping merlin into his own viscious web of misrey he declare upon others fate he knows nothing about,just like a whim not even regretful...ehh this almost feel like he did somthing personal to offend me profoundly which i guess is fair since the whole personality of the chracter he plays in modred,arthuer and morgaana life,all but a leech obessive,ifuiated and power hungry perhaps unintentaionlly soo,thinking of him as the justified one in his actions while not realizing what angony he condemns others,almost feel pity and for nimune having a cruel selfish and callous monster for a father maybe even slight guilt for my modreds indiffernce to her but given her close relationship with merlin,it feels hard not to imagine modred either numb or brash towards her.i prefer the numb for my modred as long as i feel unaware wether nimue knows about modred true parentery or not and her fathers path in being the criminal who did modred a wrong that cant be done right by any words,but pain for pain not as vengence but retribution and justice,forgiveness for sake of ownself yet not forgetfulness seeking retrubtion but not letting it take over

Love the characters, the writing, the choices… everything. Very well done and I keep coming back to replay it. Thank you for the update and please continue taking care of yourself. I will always come back here to support this lovely story!

which part of the stats page tells how easily Modred cries? 

Replayed from the beginning. God this IF is such a masterpiece. As always, I'm almost more invested in just the relationship with Arthur then any ros. lol. But I did so much adore Gally and especially the dance at the end of the demo. And darn you, Gawain! You are the best/worst wingman ever. xD
