Add to that the load-from-day bug (please fix) and it's quite a lengthy process to update and falls behind.
It's fixed, but the bad news is it's not fixed retroactively. Any savegames generated while it was active will have been saved 0.5s too late, meaning that the morning convo has already started (this was tied to triggering the save after the blackout).

There's no "I fucked up, bad ending" scenarios. The optional content is all opt in, not branching path.

Thought I'd give this game a try once again to see if the MC grew a pair or two... But nah he's still a big Sofie... Not that there's anything wrong with that but I so wish there was another path(dark) to take because the more I play.. the more I feel like a puppet.. A puppet with the power of a God..

MC Puppet - A couple of things could be giving that feel.

Dialog choices tend to not have major consequences to the story (although they can for your sex life.) They seem primarily for flavor. Although some are tracked and will be referenced again later. (The Dresden/Houston choice in Book 2 is also an anomoly.) Anyway, I suspect this is some of what is giving you that feeling.

The other is the 'Story with sandbox' rather than 'Sandbox with story' nature of the game.

At its core this is a story and the story is linear. In this game, the agency the player has is around character building, optional questlines, books, drinking, working out, combat and other sandbox activities. Not the story itself.

Honestly, I get all that but something Chloe did bugged me and still do.. the "voices" are the real puppet masters here and I hate that... Also the fact that MC just goes along with everything they say unlike Emily.. that's a bit disturbing and the secrecy is not helping.. for starter the "Nuke" battle... That was the final straw because I happen to be extremely fond of Bella..MC couldn't even execute that without interference. What's the use of having this much power but couldn't save the chosen?.*sigh* sorry ...I'm just throwing a fit(I'm allowed to do that right?). Way too many emotions in this story.

Chloe's role is necessary to the story. I hate giving spoilers, so I'll say she's OLD, and almost as much a puppet to the voices as anyone else, but she has a hard edge, and will do whatever is necessary to force Owyn to save the day... even if that means getting roasted by a dragon.

As Book 2 and 3 unfold, MC becomes a bit darker toward many outside his inner circle (Knight of the Lake). Even Chloe gets push back.

As for Bella, Droid has shown pics from Book 3 with Bella, and promises a "happy ending"... eventually. Also shows her love for MC, and self sacrifice. Besides, it's a war, and people die in wars.

What I learned from my husband is that any good super hero, or good villain, must have some twisted and often sad back story or weakness. Owyn is a "god", wrapped inside mortal flesh. He can be hurt. Emily is his inner strength, and greatest weakness, as he states more than once that he would gladly break reality to save her.

Just remember, this is a 3 part story. )))

So in other words .. the plot thickens. That's not good, at least for my heart.. I like book 3 but I found the alternate Emily a bit annoying... Though I understand she experienced grief like no other as well, her behaviour and mannerism are putting me off... Especially the nickname.. haha I was just getting used to "my heart" :ROFLMAO:

I think "the plot thickens" sums it up nicely! :unsure: I was never able to get into games on this site. Just me, but the porn part can almost be a distraction. This has a story, plot, and characters a person can care about. ))) I have played beginning to end a few times (mostly without guide), and find more clues each time. Actually getting into the poker combat (easy auto), but more companion strategy.

I feel bad for Book 3 Emily. Her Owyn died, and her world fell apart. She seems to have guilt for stealing Owyn from the other Emily, while falling for him. And yes, "my heart" was sweet! Hopefully, she comes to terms with what the chosen are, and gets passed the tomcat thing!!!
