I have a few ideas on how to give the player more of a choice when deciding their relationship with Latooni. Luckily, the end of the section where your relationship with Lat is explained is open-ended enough that I can add to it.
It’ll still end with the MC deciding they’re definitely friends with Latooni, but I think I can tweak it enough so that a reluctant/keen/nonchalant set of options could fit in. I’ll add it to the hotfix I’m preparing, which should be posted in an hour or two.
Yeah, I enjoyed writing the MC being pissed off st the League, but people were definitely correct on that it didn’t really pair off with what happens in the story, and considering what’s coming, writing the MC just wanting to drop the League and get away asap would require a very different path from what the game is meant to be.
Besides, offloading more of the blame onto the cops/government helps set up the dislike of Stratton, I think. After all, he is ‘the man in charge’.
I’m happy to hear! LadyUmbreon mentioned a fair bit of the ‘small-ish’ changes, but there’s other things sprinkled around the chapter (note what Seeker does when he serves the meal after your training, and what Ignis gets like after he leaves), so I hope people can come off with the impression that 'these two are something’.
Once more, thank you both for the compliments! I’m incredibly happy the rewrites are being well-received.
