GreedFall locations: San Matheus          “The region of San Matheus lies to the west of Teer Fradee. Thélème built its city in a cove to anchor ships, and as far as possbible from the city of their enemies of the Bridge Alliance.”

Greedfall Expectations/SPOILERS w/o CONTEXT

Me, at first: Oh, Theleme has these Inquisition dudes being assholes to the natives. It can't get any worse than this.

Bridge Alliance: Hold my Malichor

Just about everything that happens to the main Continental factions (Nauts, Coin Guard, Theleme, and Bridge) during the game is shown to you in the prologue. 

Nauts: Prologue: Jonas gets kidnapped by a member of the Congregation. Main Game: Nauts get kidnapped by Coin Guard (seizing the ship, but it still counts), Theleme, and Bridge during the different quests. 

Theleme: Prologue: They want you to find and turn over the heretics who are really just historians who found something that went against canon. Main Game: You help theologians discover things that went against canon and have to decide if this gets turned over or not. 

Bridge: Prologue The man first gives out a fake panacea and then you learn he is running because he spoke out against experimenting on prisoners. Main Game: They send you on a wild goose chase for a panacea and then you have to stop an evil bastard from experimenting on prisoners. 

Coin Guard: Prologue: You have to smuggle things for the Coin Guard. Main Game: There is a criminal organization inside the guard that smuggles slaves and alcohol and you have to stop it. (this is a little more of a stretch because your smuggling in the beginning is actually somewhat related to this).

It is pretty impressive how they got almost every main plot idea into the prologue missions.

A choice

If you had to choose between saving San Matheus or Hikmet, which would you choose?

(Or when you chose between them, which did you save?)

I chose to complete that playthrough with San Matheus being saved. Game-wise b/c their side quests lead to weapons I like. Story-wise b/c even though the Inquisitors went after the Nauts and the “Mind Shakers” kept antagonizing the Natives, the Alliance causes most of the problems in the story. Even though their actions accelerate De Sardet’s search for a cure, without them the final choice at the end wouldn’t be necessary.

Should’ve known how bad they’d be when Vasco called them “conniving, piss-distilling, Bridge-building liars”
