Oh my god that update. I know a lot of people other than me also called the entire āSidestep is a Re-Geneā thing but oh my god itās actually confirmed. Iām a mix of amazed and horrified - and slightly tempted to double down on my āRe-Genes are otherwise normal people created by cloning and brainwashed into being soldiers from birth (with a side helping of failed Re-Genes might be used for organ harvesting)ā theory.
Also, two slight bug reports. As someone else already mentioned, when you talk to Mortum as the puppet right at the end of the demo, in the line āItās a rare occasion when he/she uses your real nameā, it uses Sidestepās name, not the puppetās. This seems to happen only if youāre friends with them? Also, you can mention Argent attacking you to Ortega in his office, even if that didnāt happen. I talked her down (I think I chose the āwhy are you bullying Heraldā option followed by āI used to be the new kidā, so there was no attack), but I still had the option to tell Ortega I had been attacked by her.
I chose that we had a thing and I still couldnt get that option and I chose the option where we kissed at the hospital and it was complicated. Still couldnt get the greyed out option with Ortega. Any ideas?
I chose āwe had a thingā and was able to choose it. If you say you kissed at the hospital itās greyed out because he already knows you want something more
So while making my character,
I keep choosing the choices that would indicate my PC as no longer capable of telepathy. But during the scene in the Rangers HQ especially that conversation with Steel,
my PC admitted being a telepath. Well of course they know before that PC is of low level, but I always insist in the choices that the power was gone after the Heartbreak and that no one knew she was still one. So I find it weird when my PC said āI amā.
Found this when my puppet was playing in bed with Dr. Mortum.
Same conversation:
āWe can handle guards,ā he protests.
āEven Modded ones? You know theyāre not going to have just regular joes guarding expensive things like that.ā You sigh. āIām good, but Iām not good.ā
I got the achievement for that like the second time I played. It was always there. (You put your gun in your mouth, Ortega stops you but you get away from him and throw yourself through the window instead, if youāre wondering)
Thereās a few options I donāt recognize from the character Creator like gambling at Jakeās and was pure rage ways an option because I remember always choosing revenge but now anger is there too
But the MC is a telepath, still is ā¦ thatās why MC can invade the mind of lady argent, and the reason ortega request our helpā¦ and the armour we build later is related to our telepathy power
I believe what @qth meant is, you can pretend that you arenāt a telepath anymore so the Rangers arenāt aware that you still are a telepath. I recall that in Book 1, you can choose not to invade Lady Argentās mind on the pretense that you lost your telepathic abilities
Then inn the demo, thereās an option where we can choose #No, nobody knows I am still a telepath
So, if this MC wants to keep the fact that they still are a telepath a secret, they would likely not reply āI amā when Steel offhandedly states that they are a telepath.
So it seems that there are multiple psychic forces at work. The same force that is in Lady Argent could be the same force that prevents Herald from dropping you even if you want. Like the Entire team is someoneās puppets. Meanwhile something else spurred you to attempt suicide by making him drop you. Unless of course the force was like āyou should make him drop you to your deathā and then you try āpsych heās my bitchā
Just because Iām an omnicidal maniac doesnāt mean Iām a sadist. The fact Iām a sadist means Iām a sadist. Jots that idea in a notepad
But seriously Iām hoping in Fallen Hero 2 I can kill at least one of the rangers. Ideally two if the second death can be done so the last thing they see as they die is my unmasked face
, we might never knowā¦
