Hey 
I got like six Sidesteps and you want me to choose just one option?
Ended up making a list (is a long one and has spoilers) about various choices my Sidesteps made:
Summary
What did you do with Captain Blaze?
-First Sidestep (mob boss): Killed him quickly because that way they can fracture the team.
-Second Sidestep (hero hunter): Killed Captain Blaze by impaling him through a flagpole. She’s not a Hero Hunter,, she’s a Hero Killer thank you very much.
-Third Sidestep (thief): Blaze managed to notice her attempt to steal a briefcase and she set up an succesful ambush for him. She even managed to defeated Captain Blaze in a fight. Left him alive.
-Fourth Sidestep (mob boss): SHE LOST!! SHE LOST AGAINST CAPTAIN BLAZE!! I WILL FOREVER LAUGH ABOUT IT!! Did manage to kill Deveraux.
-Fifth Sidestep (anarchist): Put doubts in Captain Blaze’s mind.
-Sixth Sidestep (mob boss): Defeated Captain Blaze in a fight, but left him alive (he wasn’t known to be a killer at that point so killing Captain Blaze/Deveraux would have revealed him to be a killer)
Did you accept to work with Hollow Ground?
-First Sidestep: Nope! Also figured out what HG’s powers are. Sneaked into HG’s mind and saw HG’s memory. HG allowed them to leave peacefully. Hmm. Maybe don’t necessarily have to be enemies? , things might change in the future? Will have to see…
-Second Sidestep: She…“agreed” to work with HG (because she got caught in HG’s web lmfao what a loser)
-Third Sidestep: She figured out what HG’s powers are, but still agreed to work with HG (because she was curious what connected them together and…she kinda likes HG’s whole style?)
-Fourth Sidestep: She went to the meeting as Puppet (because considered Puppet to be expendable) and HG ordered Jake to kill Puppet.
-Fifth Sidestep: She was very nervous and wary about meeting the kingpin, was painfully aware how outnumbered she was as well, but didn’t want to find out what would happen if she refused to go to the meeting as herself, also refusing to go to the meeting might also set up an obstacle for her plans. She didn’t shake HG’s hand at all, but agreed to work with HG for potential information only (this is a business relationship), will have to see if the information proves useful or not. Right now wouldn’t be above stabbing HG in the back the moment their business comes to an end, (she’s anarchist, HG is upholding the system from the underground, might be smarter to take her down?) but who knows if things might change?
Oh, and she’s also susceptible to HG’s powers…
-Sixth Sidestep: He shook hands with HG, but his Strength of Mind telepathy was too strong for HG’s powers to crack through. Refused HG’s offer to work together. Managed to break through the dampeners and strengthened HG’s paranoia that he was at a risk as well. HG’s allowed him to leave peacefully.
Did you release the Cacofiend (It’s Catastrofiend!) from Dr.Mortum Gun?
-First Sidestep: Yup. They tried to shoot Lady Argent (flirting relationship) with Mortum’s gun because she wanted a reason to trust them and that would mean either revealing their identity or the reason they wanted the regeneration machine and no way they would do that. Besides by giving into her demands, they’d be indirectly giving power to her.
The two of them joined forces to take down Catastrofiend and they saved Lady Argent from falling rubble. She allowed them to take the regeneration machine but Catastrofiend is still on the run.
-Second Sidestep: ??? Mortum’s gun has WHAT now??? And I gave her the gun??? (she has no idea what the gun has lol)
-Third Sidestep: Nope! No idea Catastrofiend is in Mortum’s gun.
-Fourth Sidestep: yup. Shot Lady Argent (who considered her villain self to be a cheater) with Mortum’s gun. She managed to stay in the background while Lady Argent fought the Catastrofiend. Ended up seeing Lady Argent’s body melt and turn to smoke and do something weird shit. Catastrofiend still survived it?!? Also Lady Argent considers her villain self to be her nemesis now
-Fifth Sidestep: She visited the Casino with Mortum and I’ve played that scene few times. On couple of occasion she accidentally releases the Catastrofiend, but…I think on her “Main playthrough” she doesn’t release it?
-Sixth Sidestep: Has no idea that Catastrofiend is in Mortum’s gun.
What kind of Vilain are you really?
-First Sidestep: They are a villain and mob boss because it’s inevitable and don’t know what else to do. They don’t imagine they will live very long.
But they’re also competent villain, they’ve put a lot of effort into creating their villain self to be someone of power, someone to be feared and respected, all control and confidence. Good boss to their henchmen, the crew consider them to be friendly and likable, and they have a really high leadership so no problems there. The crew gives them some kind of purpose. Also ruthless, are able to kill people in the business and people know it. Some people are better off as dead.
Second Sidestep: She doesn’t place any value on the lives of people and has killed a lot people. She’s hero hunter/killer and she wants to prove she’s better than anyone else in the city. Bold, fearless, and fiercely independent, she’s built her villain self as a monster from some other dimension, someone to be feared of. Terrified even. Chaos and mayham aren’t far behind her where she goes. (she even went on a rampage at the auction even though she was there to only steal Mortum’s gun)
-Third Sidestep: Doesn’t kill, is technically prepared to kill people in the business, but it would be her last resort. She’s built her villain self to be someone of brilliance and utter confidence, someone people can’t help but to be awed at. She takes great pride in her career as a thief, but she also considers her status as a villain just a means to an end. Once she’s accomplished her goals, I could see her maybe trying to retire and try out that whole “civilian/normal life” thing.
-Fourth Sidestep: She doesn’t care who her targets are. So long as they stand in her way, lethal measures will be taken (not a mass murderer but has gotten civilians killed). She’s mob boss but only because she sees that as a means for her revenge and only method to built a power base large enough to take down the Farm and everything else connected to it. She’s created her villain self to be a mystery and an enigma, even her crew don’t know what she looks like or where her villain base is, they only know she’s terrifying and strict (I really want to see them betray her that would be so funny). Cautious, wary, and sneaky, she’s managed to keep her identity as a villain a secret from everyone.
She doesn’t really have any plans beyond her revenge.
-Fifth Sidestep: She’s anarchist aiming to kill people in power (the only way to make sure none of them will return and destroy her plans. She doesn’t believe destroying their reputations would be enough). She’s managed to keep her kills hidden or indirect (would prefer a projectile weapon of some kind, like a sniper rifle so she could take her targets down from a distance. Easier to stay hidden and get away faster) Her villain persona is purely professional, doesn’t allow herself to be caught in Villain Power High or displays of terror. She’s here to do a job and that’s it. Sneaky, cautious, and quiet, she prefers the shadows.
-Sixth Sidestep: Mob boss as well, and he’s the one with long-term plans to built his own criminal empire that he can rule as the kingpin (HG will be dead soon enough) because that’s how you get the good life for yourself. He named his villain self Sovereign so that should tell you a lot about his villain persona as well. His crew likes him.
Don’t let that confidence fool you though! He’s a COWARD! He WILL run away at the first sign of trouble in a fight, and he WILL call you a coward while running away (It’s not RUNNING AWAY, it’s a TACTICAL RETREAT). He also made Lady Argent accidentally kill a civilian (and ran away the second he realized she’s angry.)
Also, just quickly noting, maybe Sidestep lost their ability to possess people after the car crash and that might explain potentially feeling like “they lost something”
