Editing Divinity: Dragon Commander (section)

===Princesses===
After your first few battles, you will be given the chance to select a [[monstergirl]] princess to marry from one of the other races in the game. You recieve a boost to reputation with that faction, and after every battle you can visit your bride in your quarters (which has been redecorated to her tastes) and engage in dialogue which will advance her story as well as provide effects to your reputations, morale, and coffers. 

What's that?  Where's the human princess?  [[Heresy|We don't take kindly to your type around these here parts.]] (You yourself, by being half-human, represent humanity and as Maxos informs you there's no need to curry favor with a population that already sees you as their genetic representative.)

You can also be a dick and sacrifice them to Corvus for more power by leading them to him and trapping their souls in a constant state of agony for his pleasure. Unless you are an aloof completionist who doesn't want to play the game multiple times, don't do this.  It's just a really bad idea in both the short and long term. 

If you ''are'', well, you are allowed to select a new bride afterwards, so you can get more achievements and dialogue from killing off your spouse after completing her quest line.  

====Lohannah, The Elven Princess====
Lohannah actually requested her father to send her as the potential bride for the Elven race. She is completely enraptured by you, believing that the Dragon Emperor and the Elvish Princess would be the perfect romance, just like in her favorite stories!

As you live with her, your decisions will more or less involve the questions of xenophobia and of pride. She can break tradition and do things like eat meat and wine with Dwarves whereupon she becomes a popular cultural icon among them (while Elves protest by destroying effigies of her) or withdrawing and sticking to Elvish tradition and ensuring the continued dickishness between the two races. 
In one plot ending, she becomes a prim and proper Elvish queen. In the other, a cultural phenomenon and fun to be around.

====Camilla, The Lizard Princess====
Camilla starts out as the only princess who actually has a job; namely, a Supreme Court Judge among the Lizardfolk. She makes it quite clear in the princess lineup that you are simply a tool to improve her political career, and she believes you see her as the same. Upon choosing her she informs you that you should choose a mistress as she's not your personal fucktoy. During the relationship, she will continue to act coldly to you but will bring up her current court cases (with your input resulting in her decision) and as a result will gain some respect for you and gradually acknowledge you as her husband. Her story fork boils down to the age old question of [[Paladin|whether to be Lawful or Good]].
A Good aligned Camilla warms up, learns to relax a little with you between battles, and is generally much happier and more in-touch with her emotional side. A Lawful Camilla becomes very robotic, uninterested in the affairs of lesser beings and your regime becomes one of absolute authority in fear of you.

====Aida, The Dwarf Princess====
Aida is, naturally, a buxom beauty who can chug enough booze to kill ten men and crack walnuts with her bare hands (which she admits made her popular at parties and unpopular in love). Her story revolves around her rotten relationship with her nasty, abusive father, and her attempts to take control of the kingdom. It also rivals Ophelia's for sheer complexity and number of outcomes. She's also like Ophelia for being a dutiful wife, simply bringing up issues to you and obeying your decisions. 
She initially only wants to marry you to get away from the old man, and to get herself in a comfortable financial position for the rest of her life. She's quite prideful and cuts the Dwarf adviser off to give her proposal herself. Her father attempts to overreach early in your marriage with her and also badmouths her to tabloids. You must deal with him falling ill and assassins he's pissed off with his poor behavior in the past, although so long as you keep Aida from desecrating the old bastard's mortal remains with horny pigs after he dies and she incorporates his throne into yours, you'll make out alright.

As your can imagine, an Aida who behaves according to her darker impulses just becomes a younger female version of her father in law although she's shamed among her people forever. On the other hand, an Aida who sticks to the moral high ground becomes a beloved monarch of the Dwarves and (if the previous two aren't an indicator) is warm and loving towards you.

====Ophelia, The Undead Princess====
Daughter of the mysterious Skeleton King, Ophelia is the shy, blushing (somehow) skeleton girl. Like all Divinity Undead, she is VERY religious and conservative. As her husband you're her absolute boss and she does nothing without your permission (and a long-winded Shakespearean speech). 
You learn after marriage that she is [[wat|dying (again) from an as-yet incurable illness]] and that her people see this as a direct curse of the Seven gods in their pantheon and that the only reason she was married to you (a non-Undead) is twofold for power and to remove her from the Court. Potential solutions to her malady range from transplanting her soul into a gleaming robot body (''then'' choosing whether or not to drape it in human flesh from various corpses, [[Promethean: The Created|flesh]] [[golem]] style), lobotomizing an attractive female prisoner and putting her soul into the newly-emptied fleshy form, making a deal with a demon to turn her into a vampire, engaging in magic shenanigans to draw her a body on a canvas and animating it with magic, to just being a dick about the whole thing and letting her die like her people (initially) want. The most complex of the four story-wise, and almost every outcome causes her to change models over the course of the game. 

In the lobotomized form she sees herself as an abomination to her Gods and becomes mopey. In the vampire body, she quickly becomes selfish, evil, and vain. In the painted body she looks the same as her stolen body, but is overall much, much happier with the situation. When she gets the robot body, her people believe that longevity is a sign of the blessings of the gods and in a robot body she is fully immortal. She's revered as a golden prophet to her people and gives sermons daily, and even her own father is unworthy in her presence now (although she sees you as sharing in her divine nature), but it clearly isn't great for her mental health. And, finally, choose to have skin sewn over her robot body, which makes her much less popular among her own people, but also makes her about as happy as the "painted" body, if a bit more melancholic about the whole thing, and gives her a cool "Frankenstein" motif.

Also, the in-game newspapers mock your skeleton fetish right after you pick her.

Unimplemented concepts involved Ophelia pining for a fleshy form, and doing socially awkward things like using fruit as fake breasts and wearing wigs. This plot was dropped early on although the lipstick and empty corset remained, and the undead barmaid on the airship can be seen with a couple small pumpkins stuffed down her shirt as a gag. 

As Ophelia became the most popular princess, she is seen as the mascot of the game and was most used in advertising.

====Unnamed Imp Princess====
Originally planned as a princess to marry, she would have come to you already secretly pregnant. Your plot with her would have involved your treatment of your illegitimate son Rufus, who (being an Imp) would grow up fast. 

She was cut as the release deadline neared. Her lack of presence is explained by the Imp adviser at the princess lineup as she apparently was passing the time on her transport zeppelin on her way to meet you by playing the classic Imp game of "Hide The Fuse" with her handmaidens, and they lost. His demeanor suggests this isn't an uncommon type of event for his race, with a "true imp's death" apparently involving perishing in a gigantic accidental and self-inflicted explosion, and he only laments that you hadn't met her.

====Unnamed Orc Princess====
The entire Orc race was cut from the game; originally you were going to have a dual princess/general character who was the female Orc aboard the ship. A few joke lines refers to the Orcs left in the game, which includes the Imps proposing that since they aren't scientifically categorized as people that they'd be viable as a food ration for your troops (no other race supports this) and the suggestion at the end of the game that you would keep electric fans so as to avoid having to have Orc slaves fan you and be an eyesore.
