What are you, some kinda science bitch?
Okay- I'm definitely thinking you are assuming a few facts not in evidence- but I'm still here for it. That analysis was epic!
1) The arguments are valid and sound with general regards to the specific typing of parasites/roles withing a hive-mind culture- but there are such an extreme multitude of situations amongst social insects it is a little difficult to make assumptions about how real life parasites or social insects might be analogous to these hive-mind parasites without first having a general understanding of their origin story / the environment the species evolved in.
Science bitch? Nah. I'm just a guy who grew up watching Discovery Channel and Animal Planet back when they had genuinely educational material on the air. Couple that with a few too many hours spent watching Roanoke Gaming on YouTube and you can figure out pretty easily how I came up with all that.
I have two responses to your first point. Firstly while you are correct that there is an extreme level of variation within the different species of insects and parasites, there is also a fair degree of commonality between them too. Almost every ant species I know of has colonies comprised of a queen, workers, and soldiers with some species having auxiliary units that serve specific roles in response the the environment they are in. They only ants, that I know of, that break this mold are Slave Raider ants as they have no worker class and have to steel workers from other colonies hence the name.
Swinging content would fucking suck tbh, it just feels cucky and make the mc look weak in my eyes atleast
If I had to guess, The old artist vamoosed, a new one took over, and the two redesigns were the newbie's proof of skill.
The artist who did some of the original designs like Adara's face etc is gone,
Ragina is fine. The change in appearance was jarring but it can be adapted to. Honestly I kind of like the fact that she now looks to be the age I figured her to be. The real bitch about it is the fact that the two animations we already have with her are based on the old design and them still being in the game, I think, is further exacerbating the visual whiplash.
If your using an old save the battle system wont load, try starting a new game.
Putting aside my dislike for Reginas new facial features.While playing I felt her height really jarring when the player character had just trasformed into a gigachad. its seems like a small thing but can really be unimmersive when female standing pictures have that mommy like stature over the mc.I hope you pay attention to that in the future.
Ok so to defeat the second wave at the fort in the prologue, first make a save, use the debuffs that your allies have on an enemy that does not have them or their normal attack on an enemy that has been debuffed and heavy attack on your main, focus on one enemy at a time, if the mc or allies health drops below 35 - 40% use a 50hp potion from the satchel as that character wont lose an attack, if you use a 30% heal potion it will cause you to lose an attack. The strategy isn't 100% effective as if the enemies focus on and kill one of your allies to early your pretty much screwed but this strat does have a high chance of success with both the original rule of 2 battle system and the current rule of 3 battle system.
