Are you refering to the term called fusion dance?
Hey Iâm new here. And so far Iâve been playing as I guy whoâs trying to make the most of out of the shitty situation their in, who also understands that other people maybe also in the same situation.
However yes I have broken Heralds legs but he ainât that bad so far and is also seems to be an easy to manipulate puppet.
Congrats you have gained free membership into the cult of AaKH (Cult of Abusing and Killing Herald)

Such rudeness, we must be better people!!! 
I do break his legs, but only for the infamy and to literally cripple him and, therefore, the Rangers later on.
Morals and reasonings to do matter son, the action does!
And you have proved worthy.

I smell heresy coming from this one insinuating Herald has rights.
Will we have the opportunity to continue upgrading our suit, or do the upgrades we have is what we got? Also, will there be new, upgrades later on? Either in general or depending on choices, Iâm looking at you Argent Trophy, that would be interesting. Would money affect that at all?
Being in good grace with the lovely Dr. will certainly helpâŚ
Btw⌠when I promise to torture the golden boy, the cult invited me for their dinner party.
Hey! Just wanted to point out a typo in this section: You want the public on your side, and that means getting the press on your side. As long as youâre not too abusive to the reporters, they wonât hold any personal grudges. And if you pepper your speech with discrete allusions that there are reasons why you turned to the villain path, perhaps theyâll make their articles more sympathetic to your cause. There will always be people who doesnât benefit from the current system, and wants the people in power taken down a notch.
But, you only have five minutes. You canât go on forever, and when youâve said what you want to say, you end this byâŚ
The bolded âdoesnâtâ should be donât. (Love it so far, though <3)

The proofreading phase of this bookâs development isnât really gonna happen until after the closed beta portion of the writing process. Until then, we can consider Retribution a rough draft in which all contents are subject to change/alteration to better the overall feel of the final product before the proofreading can begin.
Not much sense in polishing something that might be scrapped altogether, so minor grammar fixes like this arenât a top priority. Right now the main focus is continuity checking while the backbone of Retribution is being composed. That said, good eye for not simply glossing over it.

I smell someone who likes to harm little puppies Herald
What mental illnesses does the MC have? PTSD and depression of course. He/She isnât a psychopath/sociopath because he/she does feel empathy and love for at least some people.
Thoughts?
Also, why is Ortega so fascinated with people of the MCâs personality (aloof, distant, closed off)? She/Heâs very good friends with Argent for example. Is she/he just that good of a person?
Broken, disturbed, mysterious and secretive people must be Ortegaâs true fetish.

you canât choose who you fall forâŚ
add to that, from the demo at least, Ortega claim that mc never cared or treated her different ââIâm just a normal asshole to herââ . And considering her line of work , I can understand that she seek normality whenever she feel like it . Especially when you are a face as your job .

Aside from gramatical errors, itâs intriguing in a way different than the original. As the first was more of a beginning, so far this feels more interpersonal with the other characters.

The short sweet answer? Ortega has faced some very life-defining lessons long before they knew Sidestep. To Ortega, life is just too short, and pride the antithesis of opportunity.
This is why when they think you can be saved, they would get down on their knees and beg you to let them help.
This is why when they know you canât be saved, they wonât hesitate to bring you down to protect the rest of those they care for.
Ortega is literally 100% meant to be your best friend, and also your worst enemy.

Very interesting. The psychology behind Ortega is almost as interesting as the MC.
I canât wait to see what Ortega does to the MC - whom she is in a relationship with and very attached to - when she finds out he is her nemesis, Retribution (or the MCâs villain name).
Also, can Ortega be a nemesis and be afraid of the villain? Or is it one or the other? Same questions for all the other Rangers.
(Disclaimer: I use the pronoun âsheâ for Ortega, and âheâ for the MC because those are the pronouns they use in my playthrough. So if I use those, just know thatâs where Iâm coming from.)
Ortega is just a good boy that does good boy things.
The worst kind of person. And our character is a bad boy (or girl) who does bad boy (or girl) things. The best kind of person.

My character is just a depressed as fuck grill that occasionally beats the fuck out of people and steals things before being depressed again.
