Fallen Hero: Retribution release thread! (Book Two) (Spoilers Inside!)

Just replayed the game a couple of times, and it’s damn impressive how many permutations there are. My last go featured a last chapter that I didn’t even know was possible and gave me an added appreciation for my little buddy ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ, the only NPC in the games to truly have Sidestep’s back. :slight_smile:

Given the sheer amount of content, I feel bad asking @malinryden for any changes, and am only doing so because I could swear that I read somewhere that Malin is doing some kind of light content rework.

The first is one that I’ve had since launch and it’s a tiny thing. When playing as a thief, during the first encounter with Lady argent, there’s an exchange where she tells the MC that he’s nothing more than a thief and the MC says “like of your heart?”. I believe the intention is to have an exchange is to say something along the lines of “like I stole your heart?” but her initial comment and the reply option could use a light reworking because it’s awkward as currently written.

The other thing that has nagged at me since launch is wanting to kill Eric Devereux without doing so publicly. The “no one needs to know I’m a killer” is a great nod to the MC’s abilities, so I’d love an option with Devereux to put him in the hospital in the Blaze fight but then arrange his death in the hospital in a way later that frames whoever the object of the MC’s ire is. That hidden assassin trait is an important one, and I’m hoping it continues to be relevant.

Finally, Malin may have saved a NPC from Sidestep’s vengeance. Rereading the dog park scene, I realized that Chen Wei is a Mets fan, and that touches this New Yorker’s and fellow Mets fan’s heart. Sidestep will probably show mercy because as a Mets fan, poor Steel has already suffered enough. That, or letting him live so he can continue being a Mets fan is revenge enough. I wonder if in this darkest Fallen Hero timeline the Mets are still paying Bobby Bonilla, too…
