Gave in to all the mentions in ‘best games of the last few years’ thread, and got this. I found it interesting to take a high-charm-social-predator character from a previous COG and reinvent them as a homely, tormented villain who uses a puppet corresponding to their appearance in the earlier game to play the part of a high-charm-social-predator. That’s probably representative of something? My character was Natalie St Elme, the mixed-raced bisexual Frenchwoman who I deployed in Vampires and the Eagle’s Heir to basically romance every realistically possible love interest. All the trouble she’s going through in Fallen Hero is probably karma for sleeping with Queen Victoria’s husband, but she did finally reunite with her true love, Clotho from Vampires, in the form of Dr Mortum.

ORTEGA/MC.

The kiss is a soft and teasing one. Familiar.

You’ve been sharing a lot of them during these past months. Tentative ones. Shy ones. Bold ones where both of you could have gone further, but you always stopped.

Always.

Kissing is a controllable insanity. Flirting with disaster. Flirting with Ortega. (x)

SNEAK PEEK.

Ortega’s in the middle of slipping his shirt over his head, his back to you. He’s cursing, in Spanish you think, but you can’t be sure. You’re too busy watching the muscles in his back ripple with every movement. He’s badly bruised, and bandaged.

And you’ve never seen a more riveting sight.

SNEAK PEEK.

She’d sit, silent and unmoving, as they regularly buzzed her hair short, until the prickling hair gave way to smooth skin. Their tests often required them to attach wires and tubes to her cranium; the hair hindered their machines.

Still, when days would pass and the hair would regrow, she would lie in her bunk and run the pads of her fingers over her skull. The short, raised hair jabbed at her digits as if in irritation. In rebellion.

It was one of the only times her mouth would stretch into a slow, soft smile.

Something that I love about this game is the fact that we can get “good” and “bad” endings but never an ending that’ll cut off as soon as you “die” without any thought put into it all. It just sticks with the theme that Malin has been trying to portray. There is virtually no losing. No good. No bad. Just an ending that is up to you to decide whether it’s justified or not.

I know we don’t know any endings, but keep in mind I based this off asks I’ve been looking into lately.:slightly_smiling_face:

decided to check the code and found some stuff in chapter06 that can’t be reached due to the game checking the wrong variable

Summary

aglhag
it should be sex = “male”, not gender

i should really stop looking at things with the eyes of a programmer :laughing:

smh i found a missing word when ortega calls you while you’re testing your armor and you tell them that you were busy

Summary

*if heartbreak = “gun”
“I know.” There’s a moment of hesitation. “I had a nightmare last night. Of you putting that in your mouth.”
*goto phonecall

should be “Of you putting that gun in your mouth.”

found another thing in chapter08 directly at the start

Summary

Unbenannt
looked at the code and found the problem
Unbenannt
the slash at the bold tag shouldn’t be there, and a line_break is missing

found yet another thing in chapter10

Summary

what
thing is, i have chosen telepathy and speed for the suit, so i don’t even have the exoskeleton
i did hurt ortega tho when i hesitated, launched into an angry monologue and then threatened them
dunno if that was supposed to happen

sobs i’m sorry for this but for some reason i spot the smallest things when i try to play in a specific way
also i love to look at the code behind of things-

Is there a fan art thread somewhere?

No, we keep most of that on the tumblr!

Thank you! Going to contribute a little :>

Playing this got me thinking; In cape media, what’s the difference between hero and a villain? And why is it always pronounced so overtly? By this I mean for example heroes having to register as heroes and being recognized as heroes.

I chose a terryfying suit without a cape(I have seen the Incredibles)and named myself Overlord.
As modules i have the exoscheleton with increased strength and turbobuts with increased speed.
At the gala I minimized civilian casualties , while blowing up the van for dramatic effect, and handed Herald and Ortega their asses on a silver plater,but i got busy monologing and got ambushed by Argent then went into the sewers
I then tried ambushing Argent in a fair fight but I got slammed into a wall.
After that I said a badass Premortem-one liner about Argents apparent lack of heroism and shot her down a drain…

I can never bring myself to choose a cape either. On a different note, Revan is and probably always will be my favorite Star Wars character.

How do you get a proper romance with Ortega, the options in which to imply that you loved her rather than just had kissed her and such. I love her character but I would love to open up to romance options of her play through more if anyone has any ideas?

That’s the first book out of three, so that’s all you can get for now, but seems like the romance in book two which is still in progress will have a solid development.

The author said that the fallen hero series will have 4 books i think…

as for Ortega romance i think it only starts to get serious in the first half of the second book, if you want to play a little bit more of Ortega romance i think you should play the open alpha of Fallen Hero: Retribution

FOUR NOW?! Last I checked it was 3 IIRC but that’s long time ago, I’m so happy it’s 4 now.

Due to Retribution increasing the scope of the series, Malin decided to pace it at four books, instead of three! Straight from the horse’s mouth–or tumblr as it may be:

I was wondering if any one could explain to me how to get different heart break scars? Thank you!
