I haven’t played this alpha for very long yet, but I know already that it’s just as amazing as the first game. These games are incredible, and the writing style is amazing. So much love to these games. This beta is already proving to have some very interesting choices, including being able to romance Herald, which is exciting. I feel kinda bad about his limp. Got the 'Broke the Baby" achievement in the last game, haha. Real excited to see where this goes~!

It’s a real shame MC has to cockblock themselves though…

Someone go on this game’s Tvtropes page (really, it has one) and put in “belligerent sexual tension”

I got a question that maybe belongs to “Rebirth” gameplay, but I found out only with character building of “Retribution”… So what does @malinryden mean when he ask if Ortega at the end is sympathetic with MC villain persona or suspicious? I played Ortega route many times and even at the hospital s/he never said anything like that to me.

So after your big fight with Ortega, they have feelings about the new villain depending what you do in their fight. It can be enemy (want to take them down), nemesis (REALLY wants to take them down), sympathetic (understands your point/feels a little bad about trying to take you in) or suspicious (they suspect MC is the villain.) It changes the dialogue in the hospital and in the epilogue and considering it’s flagged I’m going to assume it will play a bigger part in retribution.

I do so like the suspicious route the most…but a close second is the Sympathetic route

I have sadly been unable to pull off the sus one
I think at least
How do you get sympathetic or sus? I think I got nemesis but I’m also romancing him <\3
IIRC, use your telepathy on the crowd, and then choose the non-unique options during combat (“I took down tougher people when I was sidestep” or “I know him/her and how they fight”) and that should up the suspicion. Also, if you botch the fight, exploit their epilepsy to win the fight.
Sympathetic… I don’t remember how I got that, actually. I think I went down the Anti-Villain route (no killing, limit collateral damage, etc) and spoke “from the heart” during the monologue.

I went for the “I know how she fights” because it seemed like the most reasonable…even though it did lead her to getting a gun and shooting at me lol
… I don’t suppose you tried to have the little bots eat the museum without telepathic boosters, did you?
I don’t use them beyond the Sewer fight with Argent
Weird. That’s the only way Ortega’s ever knocked me flat on my ass.
