OH That Jake!
While roleplaying as Misako:
âI do care about you, you idiot. Youâre my best friend.â You give Ortega a light jab on his arm, which makes him wince.
âOwâremember that I am hospitalized.â
âAs long as you do. Just look at youâŠ.â You canât help it; things are slipping out now, feelings that you had promised yourself to bottle up. The fact that you are the one who did this, caused this, everythingâŠ
âHey, are you all right? Iâm not deadâare you okâŠ?â
âI am not crying,â you snap, blinking furiously for no reason. âAnd you are an idiot with no sense, and I donât even have any idea why I should care what happens to you, and yet here I am, andââ You break off before you say something you will regret even more later.
âAnd I am grateful that you are.â Ortega has a look of confusion on his face. âI just didnâtâŠâ
âI was so angry at you,â you say, so quickly that your words almost stumble over his. âI told myself we werenât friends, weâd never been friends, andââ
âHey, hey,â he holds up a hand to stop your rant. âI get it. I think.â
âIâm glad one of us does, because I donât get anything anymore.â You smile helplessly.
âI let you down.â He keeps looking at you as if he is just not sure how to deal with things anymore. âI get why you would be angry. I should have been there, and I wasnât. Iâve been feeling guilty as well, butâŠI mean, it is okay to be angry at your friends, you know?â
âGood.â You canât stop the grimace. âBecause I am. I still am.â

How do you get that talk scene with Mortum? Iâve been trying to get that and the monster in the sewer scene, but I canât seem to find a path ):
Oh wait, I think I can get the monster, but I still donât know how to talk to Mortum as Wraith(MC villain)âŠ

Idk if itâs noticeable on the image, because itâs super dark, but I choose to be a cis man and one of the options says I can dress feminine. Shouldnât it be masculine?
Why is the author deleting a few posts?
The people who wrote the post are deleting it.

There are people with a really really easy flag button⊠come on guys. Shouldnât we keep the flag for situations that really require it instead of things that maybe be a bit poor taste but not really insulting?

Sorry for the delay. Hereâs a hint:
Summary
Talking to Dr Mortum during the Auction is most probably what you meant, so Iâll cut to the chaseâpulling that off is a bit of a reach depending on your characterâs personality.
Firstly, your mc needs to know about the Regenerator in advance, either by choosing it as a motivation âwanting a better lifeâ, or planning to rob it from the auction as a thief.
Second, you need to encourage the good Dr to go and buy their gun during the conversation about it.
The third and final step is to go to the auction as a guest. This requires you to be very well off as a villain whether by stealing your funds from other villains, or banks, and living in the most expensive base. You arenât specifically required to be a thief in profession to do this. The other supposed way to get in as a guest requires you to have good standing with HG, but that is reportedly a hidden stat, and most probably depends on your rep as a mob boss.
What youâll want to do from there is view the items up for the auction before the auction itself begins. Dr Mortum should be there having a look at âold faithfulâ displayed in a glass case.

Trap is extremely transphobic and used in violence against trans women with the sentiment that trans women are not ârealâ women and therefore âitâs a trapâ(a sentiment that gets trans women killed or worse) as well as the context it is sometimes used in that cis men who enjoy presenting femininely do not count as ârealâ men either. So I would say it is more than âa bitâ in poor taste and in fact is really insulting.
But I will refrain from further derailing this from the topic at hand.

I am sorry if I was rude saying flag was eccessive @pandaboi , I didnât mean to.
@Simon_Tremelay I donât know how serious a flag is, so I canât speak to if I think it was necessary or not. I too apologize if I came off sounding angrier than I am. It was just your words, since brushing off the feelings of trans people is nothing new in this world; I got a little punchy.

Can Re-Gens (specifically cuckoos) reproduce? Are they fertile? Can they even perform the act? Iâm also a bit confused on how a trans Re-Gen wouldnât be found out possibly and when that wouldâve happened. Anybody got any answers?

Yes Regenes can have sex, but theyâre infertile.

No? Why wouldnât you be able to dress as feminine? Just because youâre a man with a dick, doesnât mean you canât wear a dress if you want to. Feminine is most likely there because if youâre cis male, anything that isnât specifically âfeminineâ can be viewed as masculine.

Okay there are couple things that stick out to me that I hope are helpful or kinda what you were looking for @malinryden
I put them in different summaries so it looks a bit clearer
Summary
Funeral discussion with Ortega:
If I recall correctly in the rebirth when Sidestep says âI wasnât the only one who diedâŠâ
Ortega will only mention they held funeral for Anathema and Sidestep only if you had old friend or former ally relationship with them. If the relationship was had a thing Ortega will instead say âBut you were the one I wasâŠâ before continuing that they cared a great deal for Sidestep.
So Ortega saying they mentioned back when they were reunited feels bit confusing if you had had a thing with them in the past
Summary
Lady Argent killing a civilian:
I noticed possible bug that during the bridge fight with Argent that if you first choose to use telepathy and then control the crowd to attack against Argent, and make her kill a civilian, the game seems to ignore it and act like it didnât happen.
On the other hand if you immediately choose to use civilians against Argent, control them, and make her kill a civilian, the game will take note of it.
Summary
Mob Boss henchmen:
Iâm not actually sure if these were errors or just something waiting for later date before being fixed, but I thought maybe mention it just in case. Feel free to ignore if this isnât what youâre looking for
I learned how to code-dive and I noticed there should be slightly different dialogues with the henchmen depending on the relationship with them.
For example the base scene with Pelayo I noticed it ignores the crew relationship if either competent or friendly boss and immediately jumps to Pelayo saying this after arriving:
âThe date checks out as well, the auction will be held there in two weeks. The Boulevard Casino will never know what hit them.â He sounds both excited and nervous.
Same thing happen when Sidestep recalls their last orders for their henchmen. According to the code after this:
âSo this is it, then, Boss?â ZaZa looks both excited and slightly nauseated. âWeâre finally doing this?â
âWe are,â you say, straightening your back.
there should be final words from the boss that change depending on the crew relationship, but that is absent from the story.
Summary
Auction infiltration and Iris:
When mc is greeted by Iris, there is option to say âIndeedâŠIris, is it?â to which leads to this brief discussion:
âThat is correct,â she says, sketching a small bow. âWhat is your pleasure here tonight?â
âThe auction, it should be starting shortly?â
âThat is correct.â She smiles widely. "I am Iris, and I will be your escort, should you need one.
Iris telling her name seems bit odd considering mc just referred to her by her name so there should not be any need for her to introduce herself.
Uh⊠Well, I just thought it was a bit confusing. Since I didnât select to be trans, queer or not even gay. Just because gender stereotypes are not right doesnât mean they donât exist, so if our male protagonist decides to dress feminine, the author would have to write about other peopleâs judgments. I personally donât see that aspect of the story to be necessary so I thought it was a mistake.

To be fair, I donât think Malin has to do anything, in her own fictional reality, in her own fictional game, that she has full control over.

Malins a chick?
Ive been calling him my boy and my dude >_>
Also I agree that he dosnt HAVE to do anything, but Malin seems to like their tiny details and I know that if they did add the whole âGarry Oak: Are you a boy or a girl?â thing it would make things feel more real.

@LordNanachi I believe Malin doesnât care what pronouns are used, so donât worry about it lol.
I also think Malin said small gender stuff like that comes later, during the beta, so she might already have plans for that stuff. Or maybe not, since as I said, she doesnât have to do anything.
