Fixed a lot of bugs, settings for the gala, puppet individuality, defunct ortega relationships and pronouns galore.

here another typo ?
āIām retired, but did you really think you could lay a hand of me? Me?ā You almost match her growl
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 (that) seem missing?
oh another thingā¦
during the restaurant scene , if I pick for vice ācoffeeā (glorious coffee)ā¦can we have that as a choice instead of say āwaterā ? I knowā¦after a therapy sessionā¦I would be smoking like a chimney and need my coffeeā¦lol .I also believe (dunno if you can do it) but the water choice maybe could be an option for something sweet vice ? I mean chocolate drink or something ?

And thatās fine (and super in-character apparently 
)
But what about the Sidesteps that just want to watch Ortega being a flirt, and think āIām so head over heels for this human beingā? wonāt somebody please think of the poly sidestep?
yeah butā¦correct me if Iām wrong but
Summary
.you are asking for ortega to actually change ?
I mean if she clarify she isnt a flirt and its a necessary act for the media . You are asking for her to change no ?

Iām not asking them to do anything. In fact, Iām fine with the status quo. Thatās why I brought that up. Sidestep seems so irritable because Ortega winked at a food server, while my MC is here thinking āyeah same old Ortegaā while smiling like a fool.
so you are sayingā¦
your mc wouldnāt be bothered if ortega actually flirted ?
Yeah, thatās why Iām hoping for that MC/Ortega/Steel ship. My Charlie gets to cuddle with Ortega, while Steel is there for them once the cat is out of the bag. Itās a win-win situation 
Good point. Will add that later.

just wonderingā¦
Summary
I picked (during the restaurant date with ortega) , that I gave her hint but she never noticedā¦right ?
The thing isā¦later , I picked the reply āDo you think this will fix things?āā and she say this āā āI will try not to do that in the future.ā her face cracks up in a smile. āBut please, try giving me a few hints next time, do you have any idea how hard you are to read?āāā
Its kinda weird though no ? I mean if you pick āI tried to hint itā for yearsā¦and she didnāt get it . Why would she say that now ? I think a āPlease tell me next timeāā would be better here no ?
just a thought .
more typoā¦
āalex, listen to me,ā she says with a sombre look on his face. āListen carefully.ā
There was something I didnāt have the time to say yesterday, but really wanted to point out.
When we are speaking with Ortega and we can chose that option that leads to the MC saying āsince I wasnāt going to get into bed with you, I assumed you had to look for it somewhere elseā, oh manā¦ I just wanted to thank you, because that scene resonated so hard with me. I have been there, and it feels like shit, and I could feel the pain of MC as myself, and just that, it was an awesome scene and it was very touching to me. So, thanks for that!

Just my two cents:
In the Herald training scene, I chose the ācould be usefulā option. My MC is female and gay so, when the relationship became āoh no, heās hotā after accepting the dinner invitation, it felt out of place. My headcanon for that option was to accept it (knowing that he has feelings for the MC) and then twist that innocent feelings to the MCās advantage or is that too evil?

Thatās a valid point, I need to add evil routes in that.

Happy to see more scenes! My personal note for the Harold training, but something you could already be on your way to fix. Just thought Iād mention in case.
herald
My female MC is gay, but choosing to train in a kind manner leads to either:
a. saying heās hot, flirting, etc
b. cutting him off very coldly, telling him to āgrow upā
As Iām playing a rather ākindā hearted MC who picked the āfondā options pursuing friendship, I felt that it wouldāve been nicer to let him down with a simple āIām gay, Herald. But youāre alright!ā Or something.
Or maybe I just messed up along the way and missed the correct options, or picked the wrong options??? Idk. Canāt remember every decision leading up to that without replaying. But I seem to have been backed into that corner twice even though I picked gay in character creation and also did my best to pick friendly but not flirting options with Herald.

lol I understand what you meanā¦
but I maybe wrongā¦but I think āheraldā crush or romanceā¦isnāt mean to be turned down . Yāknowā¦like no matter what you sayā¦it wont stop his crush .

Maybe āGrow up!ā can be elaborated further in the future meaning itās not a āGrow up GTFOā itās more a āGrow up already and quit the fantasy world so we can just be friends like normal peopleā

but wouldnt that raise your hate meter even further for him making you to SPELL IT OUT TO HIM ? I think murdering him on the spot would be much easierā¦you can grab a drink afterā¦go eatā¦watch teeveeā¦yāknowā¦lol
also found more typo
āI donāt.ā You donāt rise to his bait. Instead you cross your arms, looking at him with a frown. āAnd I canāt do this anymore.ā it should be SHE since in my game ortega is female .
@malinryden
Firstly Iād just like to say this game is pretty epic and rad. Secondly I think I found some continuity-ish problems. The first is when the option to create a sidestep pops up. In rebirth, my Sidetep ādidnāt care if people get hurtā during the Gala scene, but never killed anyone and just left bruises on civilians. (I saw the fact sidestep didnt blatantly kill somebody was like emotional turmoil that they had some "good left inside.( In retribution as I create my sidestep and say they ādidnāt care if people get hurt,ā the months following their debut, theyāve already killed a ton of people. That kinda took me by surprise, because while why sidestep didnāt care about civilian lives, they were still apprehensive to take lives and move to the next level.
Also in book 1 my sidestep had placed the sword of Damocles in Argentās head. In the sewers, during the argent fight, my sidestep didnāt even fight argent and just triggered the sword in her head and won the fight. In the beginning of book 2, as my sidestep goes to fight argent again, the sword can be used again, although it was triggered in the last installment. If the sword does indeed have more than one use then please forgive me for my comment. Also if the sword is triggered in Argentās head, would Argent not be suspicious of Sidestep afterwords. Like Sidestep goes into her head, then the new villian just shuts her mind down cough low-key suspicious. Or is Sidestep so suave and good at being covert Argent doesnāt even notice.
Sorry if that isnāt helpful. Just somethings that Iād noticed.
