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

There is a guide in post 3 that covers SD clues.
Their alertness is determined by if you have sd_clues <10, >=30, or else.

Kinda interesting that base on the guide, naming your villain Sidestep won’t actually raise the stat, but it is one of the requirement to get an extra “fun” variation of this epilogue. To be precise, the requirements are ((sd_clue >= 30) and (villain_name = “Sidestep”)) and ((known_telepath) and (toldmiarealname))

But how is it possible to not alert SD in any way at all after crash in original body if its give’s 30 to sd clue?

I think that happens because of Lady Argent, as from the code below.

*if argentregenereveal
*set sd_clue - 10
*if argent_relationship = “soft”
*set sd_clue - 10

But that’s -20/30. They should still get a lead on you. I’m trying to figure out how I lost the last 10.

Edit: I FIGURED IT OUT! If you’re Streetwise, you automatically get a -10 at the start! Combine that with pursuing Argent as an RO, and you can completely blindside the Special Directive.

Nice.Thanks!

Wait you mean to tell me it can go to -10 clue if you did not gather any suspicion during rebirth?

I finally got Mortum to shoot me in the Dashingdon Demo yes then I got Ortega to give my Sidestep a BJ but it wasnt in explicit detail :frowning:

Man I friggin love this game haha

Wait I hope I’m not reading too much into this but why does it say “Main Puppet” on the stats page instead of just “Puppet”. Are we potentially getting another puppet? Because calling Ace the Main Puppet makes it sound like there might be a secondary or even a third one in the future and ending up in Step’s body at the end would make it a possibility since we’d need a new liaison now that someone else has woken up in our main puppet’s body. I have a feeling it’s not likely but it’s just something I’ve been thinking about

Anyways, when you have dinner at Ortega’s home do they always break it off with the puppet if your puppet is dating them or is there a way to make them break up with Sidestep instead or maybe even go the asshole route and continue juggling the puppet and Sidestep?

I think so…

You have to break with Ortega way back. But you will also probably have an option to break off with Ortega in the next game.

In all my playthroughs Ortega never broke up with Sidestep and instead breaks up with the puppet. But using common sense I think we can surmise that Ortega will always choose you over the puppet.

titbit, in the old dashingdon demo, if player had not enough affinity points with Ortega, he would choose to continue dating puppet and he breaks up with Sidestep. This was removed in the official realise.

Maybe because you can puppeteer other people too, but they’re just one-off situations?

Thanks for the Info my G.

@LiliArch I didn’t see this in the 2nd game

Also is it possible to romance Argent, Herald, Ortega and Mortum at the same time?

I tried to do this but I couldn’t romance Argent this time, pissed me off this did.

You can’t, but they are poly, that should be enough :wink:

Eh thats true, Ortega/Step/Argent is the best but I wanted to see if I can do it with Herald too once for fun lol

What’s best about that poly?

spoiler

Ortega reaction? :exploding_head:
Argent casually agreeing? :kissing_heart:
Sidestep enjoying the show? :stuck_out_tongue:

Do you guys know how to get Argent to kiss you in chapter 1 when you fight her? I tried to do this but can’t. I could do it before though
