100% agree. So far the dev hasn't let us down. Eliza will probably control her thirst. The MC will probably help her to become a badass lol. I mean at first Eliza helped the MC control his rage.... but now it's her turn. A beautiful circle.
Idk man. She's selfish. She knew she will become a monster who will kill people for her thirst still she decided to go for it just to start walking again. She won't even try to make it right. She will just go on her way as if it was just a mistake.
I mean you aren't entirely wrong but I do think alot of it is how we interpret things. Which is part of what makes AVN's so great. I dont see her as someone that will just go on her way as if it was just a mistake at least not without the MC to talk her out of guilt tripping her self. But yeah you are right on that part cause the MC will probably always talk her out of any future mistakes she may make. But I still think as of right now she is a good enough person with a big heart she would honestly help anyone in need when possible to try to make up for any of the bad over the course of her lifetime. The question really becomes does the MC allow her or talk her out of that or does her personality take a left turn and she becomes a totally different person.
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.
Yeah I agree with that I think the MC is a horrible influence on her even more so as a vampireI 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.
I think it would've been excellent writing having the vampire arc tied to an MC on the dark path, but I guess the branching caused by the presence of vampirism is a significant amount of work that isn't quite feasible to pull off.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.

Yes, he does. It's called emotionally blackmailing. She says it very clearly: "I don't want that. What if I can't handle it?" What is MC, the bastard, responding? "I wouldn't have brought it back and presented to you if there was even the slightest doubt in my mind that you couldn't handle it. Eliza, you're the strongest person I've ever met. I will see you through this, if you choose it." Great, push even more buttons to make her feel like she'll let you down if she doesn't, you pissant! You're not the one who has to live with having to harm other people in order to drink their blood!
MC is not the moral compass. MC is the hulk in those early movies with all the anger issues of a young adult thrust in a cruel hateful murderous world.
I haven't played this newest update, but bloody hell Eliza's character is ruined for me completely now.
I feel that even tho i still love Eliza to death despite everything + this is still one of my favorites games cause of the story. But yeah no doubt she was way better before her changes. I'm just hoping she can learn to live with her new changes. As I thought she was one of the best romances or at the very least one of the most adorable and wholesome ones ive seen or played. From what ive played her personality isn't changed yet so im remaining hopeful that doesn't get changed but if her personality changes to much then yeah forever ruined for me.
As the game divides in a good and bad path MC, it would've been nice to also use it in this scene and let the woman survive on the light path.
Maybe not completely, but Taron said: "They're working in my favor, even if they don't know it" (or something similar).
This is not some general diatribe about strong women
This does however bring up another issue in the writing/script.This is not some general diatribe about strong women
In this game's story it's a fact she was holding him back. She was an easy target, and a ruthless opponent took advantage of that. After that she was even weaker than before and obviously even more at risk. Unless the whole game is him playing bodyguard, she was an obvious achille's heel for MC.
It's not a novel concept really, why do you think so many fantasy heroes have secret identities? Because it's easy to take them out by targeting their loved ones.
