Olivia and Anna story feels a bit poorly put together.

SPOILERS ABOUT OLIVIA AND ANNA AHEAD

Anna tells me Olivia is sketchy and her sister.
So, i checked out Olivia's room, found all the cultist stuff including the ritual dagger.
Olivia comes in and says, what are you doing.
I think quickly and make up some kind of excuse and get out of there, assuming that accusing the ranking noble of being a cultist in her castle would end poorly.
Im like, oh cool, so i know shes a cultist, the papers talked about which people were reliable and who werent, and her sister is an alchemist that has made accusations. Thats what this chapter will be about.
And then... nothing. Cant investigate further, cant talk to Anna about it, cant talk to any of the other nobles about it, cant even go back and accuse her. Just kinda nothing happened. I trained a bit, and nothing else happened. Anna eventually was like, yeahhh im going to leave, lets bone, bye.
So i won the rebellion, Olivia says, wanna marry me, and i refuse cause i wanna be like, ok lady, im a war hero now, the knights like me, im going to out you as a cultist.
Instead that means i just leave and go to the next area.

That whole chapter felt odd. The first chapter in that area was good, but the second bit really needs improvement.

I can totally see that. Maybe the dev will flesh out the Brittany story line more in the future.

In the interim, try the England/Scotland branch of the story. I finally finished it today and got Ending 10, and I think the story and characters are much more satisfying than the Brittany/Desert branch.

You need to choose the right options. It'll allow you to investigate her occult activities. But the story could be fleshed out more, I agree.

I guess i dont see what "wrong" options i took. I found all the stuff in her room, and i managed to talk my way out of the situation with Olivia. But then i tried talking to everyone and nothing progressed.

I had a 90 relationship with Olivia but when I confronted her about her cultist activities she send me to prison (with no way to convince her otherwise) and I'm to be executed. Only my good relationship with the soldiers saved me.

Come on devs give a way for a high affection main character to sweet talk her out of this or at least make Olivia try to seduce the main character out of telling anyone about her "hobbies".

Her trying to seduce you, sure, but i dont think you should be able to convince her anything about stopping the cultist stuff.
Shes a comminted cultist and has done a bunch of shady ♥♥♥♥ already.
But its very unlcear how to try and stop her or out her or side against her.

I chose to Marry Olivia once but I was high virtue so the narrator told me after a while the issue with her "rituals" became unavoidable and gave me two choice: leave this place or "confront her about it".

I first chose to "confront her about it" thinking there would be a conversation with her but instead the main character goes to some other noble to report her and arrest her.
That's not what I wanted to do so I killed the game, restarted and decided to just leave instead.

I had not looked around in her room in that play-through but that does not seem to be necessary unless you want that dagger.

It would be fun to know how the story unfolds when choosing to "confront her about it"...
I suspect she just gets imprisoned and executed and then you just leave (or become lord?).

I think by talk your way out you mean that you believed her, which leads down a different path ie the one to marriage.... this whole thing has 4 branching outcomes from you being executed, to you fleeing, or you arresting her, or you marrying her (though that is a low virtue path).
