Wow, I didn't know they changed the game mechanics for request. Partly because my priority was getting Ilias in my party. But the other part is I haven't played through it much since it hasn't been fully translated yet. And unless I know what's being said, I can't get the full experience from it. That includes the gift system, trying to parlay with monsters, or as you pointed out, making requests. It's definitely worth investigating. But still, having Luka run off with Granberia in the end as Alice and Ilias are squabbling will definitely throw them for a loop and knock them both down a few pegs.

Actually, the Sherriff having monster deputies is closer to reality than you think. In my next mod, he WILL be having one or two monster deputies in his posse. And fairly unlikely ones, at that. Though he doesn't even touch them. He just lets them "punish" lawbreakers, which is good enough for them. Not surprisingly, crime has gone up in his tenure. But only small, petty crimes. But maybe in the Paradox 'verse, there may be some hanky panky between The Sheriff and his deputies. Though if there is, I don't think it'll be the same deputies he has here. And perhaps that can be the name of the game for Sherriff and Ilias in the Paradox 'verse. In the normal 'verse, Sherriff is opening his heart at every opportunity to try and win Ilias's heart. Whereas in the Paradox 'verse, Ilias is doing everything she can to reignite Sherriff's passion so she can recapture the magic she had in the other 'verse. And it turns out to be more difficult than she thought, since the flow of history has changed, and she just can't throw herself at him and expect the same response.
