What on earth is going on with Hans Capon. I am chewing on that man. I just finished Next to Godliness and I need to talk about it, so spoilers for that quest under the cut
The wine, sneaking out, and the bathmaids I expected. The making Henry do shit for him because it tickles his fancy and then some I also get, and it's fun to watch Hans kind of... poke? Henry? for lack of better word. It's like he desperately wants to do things with to Henry but can't quite do what he wants to do, and he's scrambling to come up with alternatives. Cuteness agression but the agression is not prompted by cuteness. But what stood out to me was the encounter with Archibald at the very end of the quest.
Hans is very obviously quite drunk, and his speech stat afaik is not the highest. But he insults the angry Archibald, gets waterboarded, and then immediately insults him again?????????? HANS???????????????????????? Do you have ANY sense of self-preservation??????????
I'm not looking for spoilers, but consider me hooked, line and sinker. The fight with Henry in the tavern I understand; barfights happen. The hurling insults at the two Cumans who've captured him I get too; he's a valuable prisoner, they're not going to kill him because he insulted their mothers, so he can get away with being badmouthed and defiant and keep his own morale up. But insulting the drunk and very, very angry Archibald right after he got his head held underwater and only got back up because Archibald pulled him back up? Is this what alcohol does to a man? Does he have a deathwish? Or is he simply overconfident? All of the three? What's your deal, Hans Capon?
