Rachels story is going to be a side-story, it plays at the same time as the main story.I originally assumed that Rachel's story was meant and the respective people confused Sequel with Prequel.

I personally find it hard to be pedantic about update numbering when most devs on this site are amateurs and there's literally no consistency in what methodology they use. And complaining about it doesn't really change anything or make things better.
It's better to just suck it up and get used to whatever idiosyncratic method a given dev is using. Universal numbering doesn't really matter all that much as long as you know what the numbers are trying to say. Which is easy if you actually pay attention.
Ironically, that's kind of how I feel about Katherine. Her broken bird-ness has cut deep into my soul, and now I just want to give her headpats and teach her to be happy via the healing power of love. Which I totally did not anticipate when she first showed up.Some characters are good at getting a special place in the heart.
I feel like the natural conclusion to her arc is talking, though. ie, she stopped talking because of feelings of abandonment etc, so reestablishing the relationship fully and healing old wounds (and overcoming all the "bad memories") would ultimately end with her becoming verbal again.I actually don't want Ellie to begin to talk. I love how expressive she is without the need to talk.
I'm pretty sure the sequel comment was always meant as a joke. Essentially, version bantering won't even stop when the game is completed, but will continue on until after a hypothetical sequel is completed.I originally assumed that Rachel's story was meant and the respective people confused Sequel with Prequel.
I assumed she didn't talk to certain people, such as the MC. Was I wrong on that?I feel like the natural conclusion to her arc is talking, though. ie, she stopped talking because of feelings of abandonment etc, so reestablishing the relationship fully and healing old wounds (and overcoming all the "bad memories") would ultimately end with her becoming verbal again.
Yes, it likely is the natural conclusion. But my own feeling is that is kind of boring and likely to be a let down in the end. So I say fuck natural conclusion and trust that rec has a lot more interesting plot twists and surprises in store for us and that Ellie can stay non-verbal and expressive.I feel like the natural conclusion to her arc is talking, though. ie, she stopped talking because of feelings of abandonment etc, so reestablishing the relationship fully and healing old wounds (and overcoming all the "bad memories") would ultimately end with her becoming verbal again.
she doesn't talk to anybody atm.I assumed she didn't talk to certain people, such as the MC. Was I wrong on that?
Somehow I really agree with you. The way Rec' managed to make her so expressive and understandable despite her not uttering a single word is absolutely amazing. Plus that makes her all the more adorable and interesting, because you keep wondering what's going on in that head of hers.I actually don't want Ellie to begin to talk. I love how expressive she is without the need to talk.
She manages to convey information to Jada somehow though.she doesn't talk to anybody atm.
It's been a while since I played, but I thought that it was implied that she tells her friend stuff.Kat has already said there's nothing actually wrong with her... she just doesn't talk to people. I mean, MC does get her to say NYA... though.
and it was the best nya ever.Kat has already said there's nothing actually wrong with her... she just doesn't talk to people. I mean, MC does get her to say NYA... though.
I always got the impression she does talk to Jada. I feel like she's selective about who she's hiding her thoughts from.She manages to convey information to Jada somehow though.
You're mixing up Kat and Ellie. Kat's the "doctor" with the bitchy mouth. Ellie's the sister.It's been a while since I played, but I thought that it was implied that she tells her friend stuff.
" Kat has already said there's nothing actually wrong with her "You're mixing up Kat and Ellie. Kat's the "doctor" with the bitchy mouth. Ellie's the sister.
My bad, then. Misunderstood." Kat has already said there's nothing actually wrong with her "
I was referring to the 'her'. The one who doesn't talk.
It's not clear if she talks to Jada, but IMO it's been fairly strongly implied that she does; when the MC asks her if Ellie talks to her, she refuses to answer. If Ellie didn't, I'd think she'd just say no.I always got the impression she does talk to Jada. I feel like she's selective about who she's hiding her thoughts from.
And if I'm not mistaken, Kath said Ellie was just stubborn.It's also possible she actually talks to Kath sometimes; that cryptic statement she made about Ellie being perfectly normal makes me suspicious.
I thought she (only) talked with her therapist?she doesn't talk to anybody atm.
