Hey, so I’ve read WC a plethora of times in the past and recently decided to read it again. I noticed some oddities that I tried to ignore, but now I just have to ask about them or it was going to bother me!! Lol. I feel like I’m going crazy.
Has Book 1 and 2 been updated??? Or Are my dialogue and options different due to my Professional choice and personality?
I ask because this week I’ve decided to read them again now that book 2 has a save option at the end. But instantly felt like I was reading dialogue I never read before and getting options I’ve never seen before. I tried to brush it off as bad memory until I got on book 2 and just ran into a character that I know for a FACT I never spoke to before.
Oh!! And I have usually always chose the same personality in the past but this time I tried something different and switched it up.
Wayhaven has a lot of personality-based flavor text, so it’s most likely you’ve come across something new because you’ve played with different high personality stats than usual. And the character you’ve met in book 2 (if that’s the scene I’m thinking of in the facility) changes depending on your highest skill.
Okay, thanks!! I had a feeling that’s what is was. I was going to be amazed if the author some how updated both books and still was able to estimate the release of book 3 to be in April.
Hi everyone, a question for N-mancers: What’s your MC’s relationship with Bobby, ex-friend, ex-lover or acquaintance? Which relationship your main for your N route?
I have experienced ex-lover for my M and A route so I’m wondering if an ex-lover an interesting route for N as well.
Hi! I have two N-mancing MCs: one has Bobby as an ex-lover and the other as an ex-friend.
I don’t think much changes depending on Bobby’s relationship status, after all they’re always hitting on the detective. For example, I let Bobby kiss the detective on ex-friend path (B3 demo spoiler: and got N’s reaction to the kiss), while my ex-lover MC is on Douglas branch, so not much Bobby content there.
But I also always choose Bobby as an ex-lover by default, unless I need a specific scenario, like I wanted one of my N-mancing MCs to be inexperienced in relationships, so Bobby was just a friend.
I’ve never made Bobby anything other than an ex-friend. Besides the fact that they’re kind of loathsome, having ex-lovers around tends to really annoy me.
All four of my MCs have Bobby as an ex lover (or ex boyfriend, because my A-mancer, Z, and F-mancer (Jax) have never had sex with anyone).
My N-mancer pretends not to be bothered by Bobby, simply because she doesn’t want to give him the pleasure of thinking he matters. First few runs, she let him kiss her in that scene in the apartment, but then was like, wtf are you thinking, and refused it.
In the b3 demo, the scene with Bobby and N is awesome, so I would say try it, if it fits your MC (not sure if you RP or self-insert). Definitely worth it. N is smooth with the ex, lol.
A’s is particularly interesting. Makes me wonder if that’s why he’s so averse to being in love, if it was someone he thought he loved who convinced him and then dumped him afterward. I can’t remember if A’s been in love before (I know not soulmate love, like with the MC, but just thought he was?). I’m thinking no, but I’ll have to dig through asks.
M’s is also interesting. Makes me think it was someone he banged, lol. Or if he was captured and turned. I like the idea of him being like a Wolverine-type experiment. I just hope we find out his whole story before the series is done, since he doesn’t remember anything and can’t share it himself.
I am like eleventy-billion percent sure M’s sire is the person who’s experimenting on them in the mirror flashback. Additionally, I would not be surprised if that person turns out to be not!Murphy.
Being evil is what the OTHER N’s for.
You already did. They murdered a shipfull of sailors in the middle of a storm.
Yeah, M’s is really interesting. I’d love to see it in-game, really. I think some MCs (Dezh, for one) could use that kind of… well, not encouragement, but a sign that M isn’t just banging anything with a heartbeat when they aren’t in the MC’s presence. She’d fully expect Mason to just flirt back or hit on the person in return if someone walked up and hit on him, even with her standing right there (and figures Mason would probably set up a time to go bang them later with her there, too, lol).
I also found A’s answer interesting. In some ways, A is like the antithesis of M. M loves the attention and uses their looks to get what they want–having people after them because of their looks and surface attraction is something they revel in.
A, on the other hand, doesn’t like the attention and doesn’t want something meaningless (or meaningful, but let’s not go there right now). So to have hundreds of years where people who know nothing about them hit on them simply because their hot is exhausting. And it’s happened so much that A probably cringes any time a human smiles at them. They’re stereotyping, but they have cause for it.
Makes me wonder if A–who fell in love with the MC at first sight–is afraid the MC is just attracted to their looks like other humans, and won’t see what’s beneath the surface (and maybe won’t like what’s beneath the surface).
Yeah, I can see that. A jumps to a lot of conclusions about what other people (especially the MC) think about them. It’s like, A is confident when it comes to work and being able to kick some ass… and even where UB is concerned, because they are family. But when it comes to anything related to emotions or people (especially humans that aren’t part of the Agency), A’s walls are a mile thick.
It comes out in their non-romance paths, too. A’s concern over N and F opening themselves up too much and getting hurt is very strong and very real. Part of it may be them not trusting the MC not to hurt them, but part of it is likely because they don’t trust that they or the rest of UB can ever truly have happiness (and it’s like A really does think that they’re a danger to the MC, because they say that, too). With M, A doesn’t worry–as far as they are concerned, M is only about the sex and isn’t capable of falling for someone, so no need to worry about them getting “hurt” (I’m sure A would find the suggestion laughable). The only risk is the MC getting their heart broken (and A doesn’t really care about that) or the risk they pose as vampires, which A doesn’t worry about with M since M makes clear just how dangerous they are (plus, A doesn’t think they have to worry about M getting distracted by emotions and doing something crazy over the MC, whereas N and F are very emotional, with F being ruled by his a lot, I think).
I think you’re right about A projecting onto the MC with the monster comment in b1 (and similar comments elsewhere). It would explain how A angrily throws that at the MC (instead of realizing that the MC just thinks they’re being a dick, not a monster), as well as their behavior in N and F’s paths (reminding them of “what we are” or however he phrased it). The question is, where does that view come from?
F makes several comments about how no one like vampires or wants to work with them, which makes me wonder if either A has heard 900 years of that shit (“vampires are monsters, blah blah blah”) and bought into it because it wore him down after a while, or if F said it because A is the one who hammers that point out of their own self-image and inability to trust people (which probably stems from being screwed over pretty badly, at some point).
Psychoanalyzing UB with practically no information on them is fun, lol. Maybe by the end of b3, we’ll actually have a few crumbs to go on so it won’t have to all be speculation.
Oh my god, that was hard to read! What a cruel question someone asked, how could they (also thanks them as an angst-lover )
But seriously, imagine this happening for real? A doubting themselves again, N trying their best to fix this, poor baby F completely breaking down, and M angrily storming away to hide their pain… What a heart-wrenching ask!
Lol. I feel like I’m going crazy.
I have two N-mancing MCs: one has Bobby as an ex-lover and the other as an ex-friend.
I’m glad my M-mancer would never say anything like that. Hurting M and making them nearly cry should be against the law.
