I got the rat king emoticon when i use the rat king to know why the MC can’t read or know what Jake is thinking. So she (my MC) was trying to dig deeper into his mind. Also, i think it was first in the scene where i use the nanovores to drill a hole on the roof so i could sneak into the auction warehouse with the help of the rat king.
I actually haven’t met Jake when i was playing Book 1 so it was kind of confusing for me when i played the demo for book 2, Malin was asking if we’ve already met Jake or not. But in the demo, you could actually meet him if you, as your villain persona and not your puppet, plan on going to the steal Dr. Mortum’s gun by going in early and stealthily.
Thanks SO much for the info! i haven’t met him in Book 1 even though i’ve replayed it 4 times I think i’ll replay it again since it’s been months after i last re-played it. A little refresher never hurts
“I do care about you, you idiot. You’re my best friend.” You give Ortega a light jab on his arm, which makes him wince.
“Ow—remember that I am hospitalized.”
“As long as you do. Just look at you….” You can’t 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, everything…
“Hey, are you all right? I’m not dead—are you ok…?”
“I am not crying,” you snap, blinking furiously for no reason. “And you are an idiot with no sense, and I don’t even have any idea why I should care what happens to you, and yet here I am, and—” You break off before you say something you will regret even more later.
“And I am grateful that you are.” Ortega has a look of confusion on his face. “I just didn’t…”
“I was so angry at you,” you say, so quickly that your words almost stumble over his. “I told myself we weren’t friends, we’d never been friends, and—”
“Hey, hey,” he holds up a hand to stop your rant. “I get it. I think.”
“I’m glad one of us does, because I don’t get anything anymore.” You smile helplessly.
“I let you down.” He keeps looking at you as if he is just not sure how to deal with things anymore. “I get why you would be angry. I should have been there, and I wasn’t. I’ve been feeling guilty as well, but…I mean, it is okay to be angry at your friends, you know?”
“Good.” You can’t stop the grimace. “Because I am. I still am.”
How do you get that talk scene with Mortum? I’ve been trying to get that and the monster in the sewer scene, but I can’t seem to find a path ):
Oh wait, I think I can get the monster, but I still don’t know how to talk to Mortum as Wraith(MC villain)…
Idk if it’s noticeable on the image, because it’s super dark, but I choose to be a cis man and one of the options says I can dress feminine. Shouldn’t it be masculine?
There are people with a really really easy flag button… come on guys. Shouldn’t we keep the flag for situations that really require it instead of things that maybe be a bit poor taste but not really insulting?
Talking to Dr Mortum during the Auction is most probably what you meant, so I’ll cut to the chase–pulling that off is a bit of a reach depending on your character’s personality.
Firstly, your mc needs to know about the Regenerator in advance, either by choosing it as a motivation ‘wanting a better life’, 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 aren’t 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 you’ll 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 ‘old faithful’ displayed in a glass case.
Trap is extremely transphobic and used in violence against trans women with the sentiment that trans women are not ‘real’ women and therefore “it’s a trap”(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 ‘real’ men either. So I would say it is more than “a bit” in poor taste and in fact is really insulting.
But I will refrain from further derailing this from the topic at hand.
@Simon_Tremelay I don’t know how serious a flag is, so I can’t 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? I’m also a bit confused on how a trans Re-Gen wouldn’t be found out possibly and when that would’ve happened. Anybody got any answers?
No? Why wouldn’t you be able to dress as feminine? Just because you’re a man with a dick, doesn’t mean you can’t wear a dress if you want to. Feminine is most likely there because if you’re cis male, anything that isn’t specifically “feminine” 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 “I wasn’t the only one who died…”
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 “But you were the one I was…” 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 didn’t 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:
I’m 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 isn’t what you’re 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:
“The date checks out as well, the auction will be held there in two weeks. The Boulevard Casino will never know what hit them.” He sounds both excited and nervous.
Same thing happen when Sidestep recalls their last orders for their henchmen. According to the code after this:
“So this is it, then, Boss?” ZaZa looks both excited and slightly nauseated. “We’re finally doing this?”
“We are,” 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 “Indeed…Iris, is it?” to which leads to this brief discussion:
“That is correct,” she says, sketching a small bow. “What is your pleasure here tonight?”
“The auction, it should be starting shortly?”
“That is correct.” 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 didn’t select to be trans, queer or not even gay. Just because gender stereotypes are not right doesn’t mean they don’t exist, so if our male protagonist decides to dress feminine, the author would have to write about other people’s judgments. I personally don’t see that aspect of the story to be necessary so I thought it was a mistake.
I think i’ll replay it again since it’s been months after i last re-played it. A little refresher never hurts
