Does that mean i need to restart from scratch or is it connected to the constant save file with all the cgs? Sorry im new to all of this
I honestly don't know. Do you have the original folder, before you added chapter 7 (or 6), like the rar version? I say make a back up save somewhere, then extract the original rar again, then try to copy the extra chapters properly (Extract on another folder then copy paste to the main folder) to the new "original" folder, and copy your save file back into the new folder and play again to see if it works.
Does Alf need a rework? I'm just at ch4 so I don't know how it goes later, but for now I don't find outstanding problems in the Alf build. It's more difficult than Seidr or Valkyrie but that's ok.
What is the gifting system by the way? is it something that happens post-ch4?
To be honest if they want to rework a more polished version once they finish, my top of the list is the remake of some of the images: some are perfectly fine and beautiful, but in others the characters (and especially Britt) have a rather lifeless look and feel off (e.g. the people don't look at each other) and artificial.
Yes! it's literally a horrible build for combat especially in chapter 4 to 6 (with 6 it became easier), and because this game requires you to do combat, it's a pain if you don't cheat and if you have a rotten luck like me. It reliance on medic drone and crit just doesn't makes any sense. Why so many buff to construction production when construction barely have any use?
And honestly, I can see where the dev wants to go to with Alf, but they aren't there yet. Alf is supposed to be making the Undercity and everything else upgraded with technology, and I don't see that. They should actually add new "buildings" system where you can build upgrades to further your productions and make your mechas stronger, for example a building that make a certain mass production more cost effective because as it stands, you are a -1 energy when you do mass production for the same result as doing it manually. For the mechas, I am not referring to Britt stat upgrade that already exist, I meant actual upgrade like improved laceration damage, improved regen debuff, improved healing values, etc. I imagine Alf build to be "preparing" first, build your own base, and pack a ton of punch later, which they doesn't have.
Personally, I don't think they should rework the CGs if the gameplay itself is still annoying and not user-friendly because that's just them simply saying for the player to cheat to get the cgs. As it stands, a lot of things are very inconvenient, and I am not talking "Hard", it's just inconvenient to the point sometimes it's hard to enjoy the game (Which is why I still haven't done my Alf Freir Kirk run).
The gifting system happen in chapter 4 once you get to the undercity, but you won't be able to access it if you have high opinion with your LIs.
