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

here another typo ?
“I’m retired, but did you really think you could lay a hand of me? Me?” You almost match her growl
“Even Modded ones? You know they’re not going to have just regular joes guarding expensive things like that.” You sigh. “I’m good, but I’m not good.” (that) seem missing?
oh another thing…
during the restaurant scene , if I pick for vice ‘coffee’ (glorious coffee)…can we have that as a choice instead of say ‘water’ ? I know…after a therapy session…I would be smoking like a chimney and need my coffee…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 that’s fine (and super in-character apparently 
)
But what about the Sidesteps that just want to watch Ortega being a flirt, and think “I’m so head over heels for this human being”? won’t somebody please think of the poly sidestep?
yeah but…correct me if I’m 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 ?

I’m not asking them to do anything. In fact, I’m fine with the status quo. That’s why I brought that up. Sidestep seems so irritable because Ortega winked at a food server, while my MC is here thinking “yeah same old Ortega” while smiling like a fool.
so you are saying…
your mc wouldn’t be bothered if ortega actually flirted ?
Yeah, that’s why I’m 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. It’s a win-win situation 
Good point. Will add that later.

just wondering…
Summary
I picked (during the restaurant date with ortega) , that I gave her hint but she never noticed…right ?
The thing is…later , I picked the reply ‘Do you think this will fix things?’’ and she say this ‘’ “I will try not to do that in the future.” her face cracks up in a smile. “But please, try giving me a few hints next time, do you have any idea how hard you are to read?”’’
Its kinda weird though no ? I mean if you pick ‘I tried to hint it’ for years…and she didn’t get it . Why would she say that now ? I think a ‘Please tell me next time’’ would be better here no ?
just a thought .
more typo…
“alex, listen to me,” she says with a sombre look on his face. “Listen carefully.”
There was something I didn’t 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 “since I wasn’t going to get into bed with you, I assumed you had to look for it somewhere else”, oh man… 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 “could be useful” option. My MC is female and gay so, when the relationship became “oh no, he’s hot” 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 MC’s advantage or is that too evil?

That’s 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 I’d mention in case.
herald
My female MC is gay, but choosing to train in a kind manner leads to either:
a. saying he’s hot, flirting, etc
b. cutting him off very coldly, telling him to “grow up”
As I’m playing a rather “kind” hearted MC who picked the “fond” options pursuing friendship, I felt that it would’ve been nicer to let him down with a simple “I’m gay, Herald. But you’re alright!” Or something.
Or maybe I just messed up along the way and missed the correct options, or picked the wrong options??? Idk. Can’t 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 mean…
but I maybe wrong…but I think ‘herald’ crush or romance…isn’t mean to be turned down . Y’know…like no matter what you say…it wont stop his crush .

Maybe “Grow up!” can be elaborated further in the future meaning it’s not a “Grow up GTFO” it’s more a “Grow up already and quit the fantasy world so we can just be friends like normal people”

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 easier…you can grab a drink after…go eat…watch teevee…y’know…lol
also found more typo
“I don’t.” You don’t rise to his bait. Instead you cross your arms, looking at him with a frown. “And I can’t do this anymore.” it should be SHE since in my game ortega is female .
@malinryden
Firstly I’d 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 “didn’t care if people get hurt” 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 “didn’t care if people get hurt,” the months following their debut, they’ve already killed a ton of people. That kinda took me by surprise, because while why sidestep didn’t 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 Argent’s head. In the sewers, during the argent fight, my sidestep didn’t 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 Argent’s 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 doesn’t even notice.
Sorry if that isn’t helpful. Just somethings that I’d noticed.
