Talk:Rance: The Quest for Hikari/@comment-30430789-20161116230931/@comment-27031093-20161117225917

Sill didn't have any effect on him taking up the quest to rescue Hikari, though. And the female warrior only effected it in that she's the reason he started working for Keith in the first place. He probably would've taken it no matter what since it was a high paying job with a cute girl. And it's the quest that pushed him into beginning his brutal legend since it led him to Lia. Without Sill around, Rance 01 would've ended up with Rance becoming a tyrannical warlord after taking Lia's virginity, leading to an earlier version of Kichikuou.

Instead, Sill gave Rance a person to care about besides himself, with gradually caused him to learn to care about several other people. He's not really any nicer, but I couldn't really see Rance post-IX becoming a warlord unless a traumatic event pushed him into it.
