Runey Great update!

What happened to Maria felt like a proper kick in the gut. No matter how much sympathy one has for the suffering of others, it hits different when it happens to a loved one.

So... When can we tear down the system and put ourselves at the top as the God-Emperor of all sentient beings, regardless of race?

Jokes aside, I really wonder what'll happen to the elves if we're able to liberate them or replace them with robots. Is it gonna be wholesale massacres like Nia fears? Assimilation would take decades and changing public opinion may take just as long or even longer. That's not even considering the bad blood elves would rightfully have with the humans.Shipping them off also won't work either since the elves number nearly a billion. Will the humans be overthrown and be the victims of genocide themselves? I really have no idea how you plan to sort out this political/racial/logistical/moral dilemma.

Hilarious and somewhat frightening, is watching someone argue with the person who is creating the game, about a game characters motivations, and then not accepting what the game creator is saying about it.
Oh, I understand the intentions and I undertand the motivations they're trying to portray, I just believe that, as someone experiencing the story from the players perspective, it hasn't been communicated as well as it could be. Obviously the creator has a different opinion on the character they created, because they put care and effort into forming them, are attached to them and can essentially see the full planned scope of that character as well as their future. I can only judge as an observer based on what little I've been shown of the character so far, and quite frankly to this point I find their current portrayal to be aggravating. If the entire intended turnaround from her incredibly unpleasant first appearance is just a quick "she doesn't hate you now because you aren't an almost cartoonishly evil villain like the rest of the antagonists." Then I'm sorry, but I remain pretty disappointed in her current inclusion. I'm not going to pretend a character is perfect just because the person I'm talking to is the one that made them.

Goddamnit, Runey, you simply must make Ashley go preggo, (or at least make it optional)! She's already the most controversial waifu in the game, so why not make it real full blast :p

I forgot to mention Ashley's birthday party. It was a happy and sad scene at the same time. I didn't really grasp how bad Ashley had it till I saw it. The depression and the neglect. I hope we can reconnect her with her Elf mom.

But it's good that she knows the people at the hotel all care for her and that she's actually treasured there.

I saw her character portrayal in a completely different light.
Podcast people are basically reporters, so it is common for them to get into other peoples business, and that can lead people to dislike them at first.
They can also lack in trust, because the way that they see the world, everyone has a dark side that has not yet been exposed. Truly good people really are rare, so it is common for such people to not trust others.
Basically, she was well portrayed as a journalist. (My brother works for the AP News)

Her later turn around, when she found out MC's secret is perfect. Because not only did she find that rare good person, she found one who shares a cause that she strongly believes in, and who is actively trying to do something about it..
Just because she is enthusiastic about helping them does not mean that she is a complete idiot who will cause problems. She might be just the thing they need in order for their plans to secede. In WWII they used public radio to pass messages to the underground, but instead of using strange messages like, John has a long mustache (The longest day movie) it could be human interest stories, with each part of the message imbedded in each of those stories.
Similar to how the riddles were done. When you combine each part from the different stories you get the secret message.

Hey, I tired typing Vore as the answer to Kate's final riddle but it didn't work, don't suppose anyone knows the answer for this latest update?

*Never mind, I figured it out, it is just a capital 'e'. So the riddle answer = E :)

I think you missed my response.

I know I made a judgemental, preachy college student. Those are her flaws (which she realizes she has and states she's working on), and that's only one part of her multi dimensional character.

The VORE answer is the last one. She tells you to think backwards, so you have to put together the answers from her other riddles. E, R, O, V and then input it backwards, as VORE. If you just did the E riddle then you should have several more.

Do I have to start the game from scratch again?
Every time I try to go into one of my old saves I get
While running game code:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'sensitive'

You need to update the mods you had. When you install a mod, that save is dependent upon that mod like addict on heroin.

So Maria gets taken away, and even thought there are people who consider them their best friends, there are no dialog options with them right afterward? I mean you kind of drop the bomb infront of two people and other than their reaction in that scene, nothing? Kinda kicks me out of the game abit.

Since I suspect I'm about to have a similar problem, I'm going to ask. I gather there is nothing I could do to my save to clean it and keep going? I've been using Maim's walkthrough mod, but it would be nice to not be beholden to that mod's update schedule AND to not have to literally replay everything again. I like the game, but good lord is that a lot of content to replay through.

Yes, you will have to wait for her.
I don't see a link anymore for Lain's mod on the OP - I hope Runey and Lain are still talking to each other? Or maybe it was removed because of so many pings on the mod thread asking about when it would be ready...

Am I misremembering my lore or wasn't one of the things Lin mentioned being done to half elf children when they were taken away forced sterilization?
