But how else are we gonna keep this thread alive for more than a day after a updatemy god you all need a new hobby then complaining about a char arc.
not gonna lie I saw that scene and reload to deny it wasn't feeling that one or pathI'm surprised getting a hot vamp companion got more critique than getting sucked off by Venom.
Honestly, I'm kind of in the same boat with the Vampire thing. I get the Dev needed something to make her still significant to the story but the whole Vampire thing has completely lost me. For me I thought the entire Pirate arc thing was a pretty meh story, and having it end with her turn into a vamp and just kill a random girl kind of just kills her character for me.I have a hard time placing much faith in the MC when he's joking about assaulting people in a dark alley in the hope Eliza will learn to not *quite* kill them.

I get that Eliza is the game's main LI, but that doesn't mean the lives of the background characters are literally meaningless compared to her. This whole vampire twist has been a poorly thought out train wreck, mostly by the characters but at least partially by the author as well.![]()
Yeah im hoping she doesn't go on a rampage and kill left and right cause right now the only thing that is saving her character for me is the fact her personality isn't changed. I can get past the murder cause it's day 1 of her being a vampire and I was expecting it to happen. But if one of those 2 things I mentioned changes she will be ruined for me but I wouldn't drop this game cause I do enjoy the story quite alot.Honestly, I'm kind of in the same boat with the Vampire thing.

I'll probably give it one more update to see if it gets salvaged but I dont have much hope anymore.
Eh, i think there absolutely was space for her being a "normal" person and being a grounding person for the MC to keep his humanity while he undergoes all his changes that will happen.I agree that Eliza should have felt more guilty about killing an innocent, but I kind of like the Vampire stuff because it will give her more depth, she was a little bit too "normal" for the story that MC is involved in.
Having said that, I love Onyx she is great, I loooooove sexy symbiote stuff, and she is cool.
I just dont see a path where she remains a vampire that will get me to want to play this game again. Imo her character would have been much better being a moral compass "normal" human while the MC goes through all his changes, being a partner to ground him and not let him corrupt.Yeah im hoping she doesn't go on a rampage and kill left and right cause right now the only thing that is saving her character for me is the fact her personality isn't changed.

Sure, I can agree with this, but then if and when powercreep seeps in, given that you are getting magical people, fairies, Pirates and now a sweet symbiote, our heroine could be left behind (in terms of power) and be a victim again of our antagonist(s).Eh, i think there absolutely was space for her being a "normal" person and being a grounding person for the MC to keep his humanity while he undergoes all his changes that will happen.
I would have much, MUCH rather seen her being used that way, let the MC have the rash decisions with CHOICES on how to handle them, and let her be his moral human compass.
yeah I agree I much rather her stay the way she was as well it is what it is tho. I mostly have accepted it only cause her personality is still the same and to me that makes the character more than her being a vampire or not. But yeah at the end of the day when I think about it is still a bit hard to accept at times cause she was so much better when she didn't have that power to keep up. But as long as her overall character stays the same ( her personality) I think ill be able eventually move past what I don't like from the changes. Cause I do very much enjoy the story alot.I just dont see a path where she remains a vampire that will get me to want to play this game again.

Her being a vamp just to keep up with a MC thats going to gain power just to keep her relevant is boring imo, and a waste of a really good character so far.
To me that even more of a reason to have a normal human partner rather than another magical creature. Imo with what we had seen from her character until this whole vamp thing, it would have made way more sense to have her as a human and being something tying the MC to his humanity side. I just think there is a far more interesting story for the characters if he was struggling with his humanity and where he came from and had a partner to help him with that.Sure, I can agree with this, but then if and when powercreep seeps in, given that you are getting magical people, fairies, Pirates and now a sweet symbiote, our heroine could be left behind (in terms of power) and be a victim again of our antagonist(s).
So, this could feel like an easy way out, but I can see the potential if handled properly. I hope to see her be more nuanced than just leaving a body behind and prancing on the roof, but I'm fond of the game so I can give it a little leeway (at least for now).
While I personally agree, the criticism people are providing for why they're dropping this AVN are also valid (myself included).You guys are focusing too much on negatives. I think possibly having her as a badass Blade-meets-Bloodrayne character has some serious potential.![]()
I could argue that having her being a fledgling Vampire with a strong ancient bloodline could help MC find his humanity MORE because now he has a "duty" to guide her towards being more human than succumbing to the beast, sort of like a mirror of himself, while also raising the stakes.it would have made way more sense to have her as a human and being something tying the MC to his humanity side.

Hell yeah.I think possibly having her as a badass Blade-meets-Bloodrayne character has some serious potential
You won't play this anymore because you'd rather Eliza stay as a simple little girl that fawns over the MC but has the ability to calm him down if he rages....Such an amazing story arch!!I just dont see a path where she remains a vampire that will get me to want to play this game again.

Her charm lies entirely in her bubbly personality, at least for me. Transforming her into a badass could potentially disrupt that charm; it ultimately depends on how Buu handles the tone of her scenes.You guys are focusing too much on negatives.

At the moment the ruling concept is that "her emotions are heightened, and could lead to bloodlust/thirst", so she can still be bubbly. At least on the route to the training circle thingy in the forest she was good ol' Eliza. Same with her behind the counter in the adventurer's guild, so maybe there is room for both. At least that is what I hope for.Her charm lies entirely in her bubbly personality, at least for me.

I dont want to play a game that has her turn into some fake power leveled monster to try keeping her relevant to a character that will undoubtably gain insane power ala DBZ.You won't play this anymore because you'd rather Eliza stay as a simple like girl that fawns over the MC but has the ability to calm him down if he rages....Such an amazing story arch!!
But now she becomes a badass vampire Queen, 2nd in line with Lucid herself and has her own demons to fight with the bloodthirst, similar to the MC's murderous rage.... now they both have to support each-other from becoming monsters.
Geez, not sure what story i'd rather follow...
Wish I had your faith in the game, for me the game already started going poorly when the Pirate arc happened.I could argue that having her being a fledgling Vampire with a strong ancient bloodline could help MC find his humanity MORE because now he has a "duty" to guide her towards being more human than succumbing to the beast, sort of like a mirror of himself, while also raising the stakes.
Anyways, we'll see in later updates and the game hasn't let me down yet.
Hell yeah.
