Talk:Capp family: Difference between revisions
→Inheritance
Line 38:
:::::::::::It was actual law. In Europe, succession was defined by all possessions being inherited by the eldest son of the deceased individual (or closest relative alive by age). And since both the Capp and the Summerdream families are canonically (or by lore) governed by the principles of matrilineal succession, then Goneril is the proper heir to the Capp family. Juliette is at the bottom of the succession line (if we're excluding the male Capps). -[[User:Anselmo499|DarthImperius]] ([[User talk:Anselmo499|talk]]) 13:55, July 2, 2017 (UTC)
:::::::::::: That's not my point at all. My point is, you are literally taking what happens in the real world into the game. At the same time, you are rejecting what happens in Shakespeare's own canon into the game. The assumption is for the oldest to inherit, because "that's realistic". My alternative assumption is that "the favorite one inherits", because "that's realistic to Shakespeare's Tragedy". Why do you favor your "realistic" version over my Shakespearean version? Isn't mine also realistic as well? I say, we get rid of the Inheritance section. [[Special:Contributions/50.4.236.254|50.4.236.254]] ([[User talk:50.4.236.254|talk]]) 17:43, July 2, 2017 (UTC)
:::::::::::: Even back in the olden days, it was possible to get rid of the oldest heir, if the heir is irresponsible and untrustworthy. Now, you're going to say, "We can't add that in there, because the game doesn't say so." So? The game also doesn't say that Goneril is the heir. It says that Juliette is the heir. In any case, this debate is an indication that the Inheritance section is problematic. We should remove it.
