Well, I just don't want to loose either Sharon or Laurie or get a choice to save just one.
For a fair amount of time, I was conflicted about exactly the same thing you are talking about.
SharonsavesLaurie has a bunch of us worried. It has, until Episode 4, been building or not building.
We will see those results.
Now if you follow my rants at all, you know my prediction.
Yes, you say, Arigon is cheating and leaking info he gets because he works for LB and Ptolemy.
Well.
No I don't leak shit. I also do not share the game on here as I am working for the guys. Funny thing about this site is it is piracy of course, but it also boosts sales. You get to see things here, try them on, and support the ones you like. Sure, some folks will never pay, but a lot do. Regardless, I won't share the game on here.
Additionally, I have had the option to have the story spoiled for myself.
If you follow my rants, you will see that some are wrong. Most are correct. I actually take pride in puzzling this shit out, and it occupies more of my time than playing the actual game ever does.
I do it on a couple of other games/platforms, but Rebirth really is a passion of mine... so I turned down getting the story spoiled.
Prediction which currently has all my reproductive organs wagered on it is as follows-
Big fight is the entirety of the next episode- check as verified
We *Scottstown crew, are going to lose the fight- you shall see.... I feel pretty confident, as we are facing a goddess on her home turf, and yes, she is not yet risen, but she has vast vast powers none the less. Plus most of our muscle are her chosen menu item and 99% chance of her direct decedents.-
Fight will not be with her, but her posse which we thought was part of ours.- latest pic leak by LB confirms that one for me nicely.
Laurie is going to take a mortal blow, and contrary to a couple of drive by commentators who are fucking morons about static nature of the AVN and no choice matters, she will either DIE, or be SAVED by Sharon, and by Sharon alone.
She is not going to be saved by being protected, or spared a death blow, she will be saved by being embraced by Sharon-on this my nuts depend lol!
(yes the above is a forceful comment, but I hate drive by assholes who do not have a clue trying to make a non sense statement and then trying to justify it by supposed "industry knowledge".)
LB has said that this update is thick not long... of course it is meant to have a double meaning, there is some sex in the novel after all!
Thick depending upon your choices-
What does that mean?
Do you use Claws?
Do you have the shiny knife?
Do you have Invisibility?
Do you have Vicious Strength?
Do you have Whispers?
Did you fuck Mirri?
Did you give Astrid over to your sire?
Have you been nice to Carmen?
Have you had sex with Carmen?
Have you built up SharonSavesLaurie enough that Sharon puts all of her humanity on the line, and breaks her morality by embracing Laurie because she loves you so much she does not want you to lose her?
Because-
When Laurie gets put down, I am pretty sure we are going to see berserk MC, breaking bad, and while it is pure speculation, maybe some more power options. I was shot down on the turning to a bear theory in a private conversation with Pto recently, though we do have bear attributes of crazy strength and huge assed damage claws. I had been hoping we would bear out lol. We won't. One of my crazier theories shot down... however, just because we won't look like a bear, does not mean we won't act like one.
With the MC breaking bad, he will not be able to save Laurie, so it will fall to that single variable for Sharon to lose some of her precious humanity, and embrace her, or to let a rival slide into the great beyond.
Do not worry. I do not think we will have to choose which one lives and which one dies. We may have a ghastly soundtrack, and the animations are nonexistent, but we have actual good story telling.
We only have to not Be a DIK, and we will never have to see a love interest helplessly die. We are not taking Lessons in how to be overly dramatic in Acting.....After all, we have some actual talented story writing talent here, not some great artist with no story telling greatness in him..................
Peace
