Well, in one ending I had something like ‘You feel something has changed. Missing from you’…and that lead to Puppet waking up. Then I noticed in the ending where I make the puppet crash, they wake up screaming in comparison to others ending. So, 2 things: 1) We only tried to connect to the puppet, there is a chance we lost our powers. IF this is true, then HB is back. They took our POWERS with them.
My Step chose to work with HG purely because he wasn’t sure he’d walk out of the kingpin’s lair alive if he didn’t. He was able to make that decision using his own free will, no strings attached.
I always thought it was just referring as how MC couldn’t connect with the puppet anymore. At least my MC can still uses his powers after the car crash (after sending the puppet to the meeting)
If you stuck in puppet still have power precognition ัYou still use to break you body in hospital while If we stuck in our body we still have telepath but just can’t slip in puppet body So, I think It’s impossible we lose telepath power . And I don’t tell you that your theories is wrong or right .I just comment about what I think.
In some paths I do spill all of them, in some I don’t. I’ll carry both variants forward. However the regene beans get spilled either way since my Step hates being in the puppet and only uses it because he must. That and he told his chosen romance about being a Re-gene well before that secret was forced out to all the Rangers.
Uhh----? There definitely is something that says we still have our powers, if any of the Rangers break you out you use your powers to get out, and also can feel the dampeners while in the hospital [which you couldn’t if you lost your telepathy, Ortega will point it out in the Hospital if you are guilty and complain about the dampeners while claiming you don’t have powers].
My Step spilled some of the beans. About being a re-gene and the Farm, but not about being a villain. Maybe add another option that is “part of the beans”?
And I don’t think the MC lost their powers, but I think they lost a “part” of them. Maybe what they lost is dependent on what mirror they punch?
I keep thinking about the comment at the bar, about how it’s “too much baggage for one body”, and I get the impression that it wasn’t a throwaway line. And it’s not referring to the emotional baggage, either. It may be referring to the fact that Sidestep is toting around other consciousnesses (hence the sudden precog via the puppet).
Here’s one even crazier You are not the original Sidestep! You are just another clone with their Memories implanted. The original Sidestep is either dead during HB accident or still around somewhere
They are all puppets in my hands
The thing about being enemy… Is that an enemy can’t back stab you, only front stab you.
Don’t even know what are you talking about… My relationship with him/her is “just business”.
For once that I found a CYOA where stealth is not situational or scrappy mechanic let me enjoy it
Argent knows both secrets (well three in her case) Told her to be a ReGene to gain her trust, told the secret identity because my insanity said “just… why not?” and confess her to messed her head because she isn’t dumb and she would figure it anyway
Ortega knows That Sidestep is a ReGene because car crash. I must say the scene where he/she speculate about Sidestep being HG lost sibling is freaky hilarious
Argent and Sidestep had a heart to heart talk in the Rangers’ nursery: “How much do you think to be able to keep the facade? It won’t be long before the others do 2+2”
I hope the clone theory isn’t right, because I could see myself liking the human one but clones? I don’t know, for some reason I immediately scrunched up my nose at that.
I don’t know if the narrative would feel as good, where Step to be more fake than they thought (not that I think regenes are tools, but you get it.)
Also yeah, like other people already said, I don’t think Step loses their powers either, because there would have been text + what would the bodysnatcher do with a body deprived of what they need most for whatever war they have planned? It’s highly unlikely.
You could say you lose them to Fakestep in certain endings, but at the end of the day they’re still there.
