With one distinction if a patch made for the game to put it from version A to B and even then you must need more than for the "standard" method. Other than that, as TheDevian have written never do that.
Hehe, yeah, exceptions to every rule. lol

Thank you. :)
Only searched through a few pages and saw there's a Patches section and that didn't really answer this. I was mainly wondering if i can just overwrite everything with the new version, or need to download it in a separate directory and copy saves over. (On Windows btw).
Never overwrite anything, that's how saves are broken. Simply download, install, launch, and load your save.

That's... quite a sudden change in Autumn's behaviour. Not a "bad" change, by any means, but still quite a large one.
I assume she got a fair bit of content this update, and this comes at the end of that content, after a bit more "convincing" on the MC's part.
probably. she does like exposing herself to the mc. not a really far stretch to do it in public, I don't know if it's more or less of a stretch to do it in a place she knows and cares about. Still...I like to think that she is doing it to spite her father. Just a bit anyway.

It's generally how training goes. She's getting one story event and 6 training scenes. This is from the 4th training scene.

How much content is a "story event"? I don't care that much for her training.

Thank you.

gonna be honest, i'm looking forward to Autumn's scenes, although i think Ellen needs a bit more love, then again she's a side character
edit - Actually i got a question...Are we gonna be able to impregnate side girls, like...well, Ellen and Lucy i love them both dearly

You skipped over the part where Maria has people on the outside that would do anything and everything,
No I did not. I just pointed out that the people of the hospital can't know that. And even if they did they couldn't care less because their policies are made to be one size fits all for every single elf they caught this way. And they must have caught quite a few. If anything I'd bet that the entire program is a there to trap them.

The response the hospital had is in no way reasonable because, again, they risked damaging their prize and wasting the effort. If she then ends up getting no buyers specifically because the overkill response injured her beyond any recognizable value, she is then useless to them and she might as well have been treated as if she were human in the first place. It would get them the same value with less effort and less expense.
Except that rapid application of extreme force is the best way to stun and subdue a subject with minimal actual harm. At least physical. It traumatizes them but nobody cares about that. The slower you move and the less overwhelming force you apply the greater the chance that the victim will get the time needed to react and thus force an altercation where that force actually has to be used.

That's why SWAT and counterterror breaching tactics are what they are.

They don't have to know it, only she does. Actually, it's better that the people at the hospital don't know that or they could set a trap for any potential rescue attempt. Also, I'm not so sure on that last part, the entire purpose of going into the hospital was a DNA test for finding who or what, certain family, was to the one being tested. Considering that the purposes of this kind of testing are pretty widespread, it would be difficult to use it as an elf trap because they may not be under a circumstance in specific cases where they would be testing for what her heritage consists of, only who she came from. Those aren't the same thing and do require some slightly different methods that may not uncover elven DNA or may at least be significantly less effective. Those tests are expensive on the lab end, so it would not be very productive to use that as a trap because they would be spending more money than they are getting. Also, not every elf has support behind them like Maria does, so the DNA trap would not be able to account for that and they would risk potential 'jail' breaks on a regular basis, especially if Nia isn't the only active violent resistance.

Rapid application of extreme force may be the best way to stun a target, but it is also a great way to cause counterproductive damage to said target when the extreme force used includes heavy equipment like that security bot that could go too far and permanently injure the subject or even kill them. Remember, bots don't know how to hold back, they only know how to follow orders, so it was an extreme risk to take when they want her alive and as able-bodied as possible. They would have been better off with an actual SWAT-like QRF instead. Far less chance of counterproductive mishaps when a sentient being, likely human with the whole racist policy thing, is involved. Also, take into account the shock that would come with Maria finding out she's enough of an elf to be enslaved and you have her stunned mentally. That would be one hell of a shocker to the girl and she would still be processing that nuclear bombshell by the time the QRF arrived and had her in custody, meaning no resistance. The MC might have still been a problem in that regard, though, considering he's not the one who has been living with an unknown factor all this time.
