WIP: Fallen Hero 2: Retribution - updated 27 april 2019 (pre-adult version)

Did you not even bother to read their main post?

Seems neat so far, though I am glad you have such faith in the community to let us aid you on your wips!

Minor inconsistency:

In the anarchist path, I made the driver press the privacy button after (I use my nanovores to open a hole over the driver and guard, making it easy to take them both out.) , then pressed it again myself after stopping the car.

There is currently no way to beat argent in book 1, either with the character generator or the randomizer.

Wow, wasn’t expecting this so soon. Well, you well know I’ll be along for the sequel.

Yes, yes, yes! I didn’t expect to see part of the sequel this soon…

And now I need to play the first game again. When you talked about a possible Argent romance, I was wondering whether that was referring to my MC or my puppet. I really didn’t think it would be my villain. And there’s a whole new relationship variable, even. And hell yes, I’ll make my MC’s personal life even more complicated.

…Took one lot at the code and then quickly closed the window again.
You like punishing yourself, don’t you?

Motivation choice spells “All if this is inevitable”

Your main rival character setup choice “Yourself” and “Your past self” might be a bit confusing to some readers.

You can choose “No one knows he’s a telepath” and then pick "Argent thinks he’s a cheater for using his mental powers."

The mainpost notes you can make combinations you couldnt get in the game @CJS

OMFG I can’t believe this. The play test is out already! @malinryden when did you start writing book 2?

Bug?

And I never met Mia Ochoa and chose the choice that I never met her but she is frequently talked about like I knew her.

I don’t think it is confusing

yourself, is what you are now… a villain

past self was your previous self… hero or vigilante :slight_smile:

Also, maybe a case of 2 variables firing at the same time?

@malinryden I still hate myself for playing with Ortega. She wants love and its messed up if my MC gives her that and still finds the resolve to take her down when she gets in his way. :sob: (i blame myself and you, i didnt have to go down this path but your writing makes the emotional parts awesome)

You didn’t fight him officially @E_RedMark

My puppets relationship with the good doctor was flirting, but nothing more (went alone to the galla). Which seems to be missing from the choices. - This does seem to come up in the text, since the relationship with Mortum is brought up.
