Since it got posted here it has had at least one version uploaded during each major update cycle, so probably.
Yes, but you have to unlock the magic school in order to due so.
That is the only place you can learn it. It is also very much needed for the area in question.
Water Walking II isn't needed for the Mount Fire Storm. Buying a bunch of bread beforehand + optimal movement is plenty so long as you careful. Preferable you would also do the whole location in one or two runs, although that's probably not possible if you are playing unspoiled.
So, it's been a long time since last I played this game. Is it possible to play without a guide and not fuck my run in the process? I don't care about getting all pink scenes for example, just go around and see how corrupted she can get and see which ending I get.
It's practically impossible to fuck your corruption run as long as you don't go over max corruption for a soul-break ending, and sometimes there may be only cheap mental changes available, or you might need to wait for a real world scene to unlock further changes. So just stay well below the max, or play story mode.
Other than that the only thing I can think of is the underground where the drug dealer and a bunch of other corruption content are, if you enter there through the sewer as Aura and kill them all, they obviously won't be available anymore if you enter through the underground pub in disguise.
So I've got more room to play with than I thought. Thanks! I remember this game being stricter in early versions. Glad to see they made it easier, if just a little bit. For NG+ I think I'll go with a good ending run.
Early on there were limits on how many mental changes were available without reaching an ending, and the two guides you may have seen posted in the OP were Max lewdness and Pure run, two different extremes.
Now that you mention it that might be the case. I think I was following the max lewdness guide, which felt like defusing a time bomb that never stopped. Right now I'm a few hours in on my guide-free run and it's going well. A bit slower than expected, even on normal, but at least it's fun.

It's probably not worth the effort. Of the 750ish MBs of unzipped game there are more than 300 MBs that aren't images/audio files, so even if you managed to magically compress the images and audio down to nothing the game would still be about 40% of its original size.
Are there plans for an Aura + Alicia (corrpution or pure) ending? I need this copium to get over the latest Life is Strange game cucking fans out of a Max + Chloe ship.

TLDR; Sorry! Your copium supply is in another castle!
This is easily the most commonly occurring desired ending I see being asked about on this forum. The dev has never replied to the question or rejected the possibility of it happening, so I'm only basing this on the game as it currently exists. Unfortunately for those asking, there's not a lot of room to slip that sort of ending into the game anywhere. It would require a pretty massive rework of existing content.
The only "girl on girl" scene doesn't indicate that either Aura or Alicia has any interest in lesbian activities. Uncorrupted Aura is in a long term heterosexual relationship. The majority of the corrupting forces Aura encounters specifically push her towards preferences of more masculine individuals or things like craving semen. In most of the 3+ person sexual encounters the females are focusing on competing for the affections of the males involved, and rarely are the ladies doing much with each other.

For a tiny bit of Life is Strange pondering I offer the following. I only ever played the first game, and I played it through in one long sitting, so I probably didn't come close to 100% completion of it. I vaguely remember romancing Chloe being optional. If I'm remembering correctly then my money would be on the devs trying to prune out as many of the earlier games' decisions as they could to simplify the new game's story. If I'm misremembering then I've got no idea why they decided to break them up.

Does completing the Disbanded Crew quest do anything other than grant 50exp? I already killed the bosses of Winterfall and saved everyone there, do they even have any use for a ship still?
It doesn't have to be very lore accurate or vanilla romantic. People play these sort of games for the gratification; I doubt many would get butthurt by an optional (you can even make it a semi secret path that the average player won't simply walk into) ending that throws a bit of lore and logic out of the window to make way for a deus ex machina.
Maybe Alicia realises that Richard is exploiting her and will always see her as a meatbag to be eventually be rid of once he gets Aura and hatches a plan to outsmart him in the end game. Maybe Aura's corruption leads her down a path of toxic reciprocity, where she comes to some twisted realisation that Alicia's obsession with her is the truest form of love.
I just can't bring myself to like either Richard or George. George is the most vanilla mf ever, you can just play your average modern AAA, HR approved slop, if you're into that sort of guy. Coming to Richard, his obsession with Aura isn't very personal and endearing; its a sort of respect that you have for a worthy foe after spending too much time farming trash mobs. Contrast that with Alicia's deliciously toxic and very personal fixation on Aura, her flaws and quirks, her vain attempts at hiding her defects, her tragic backstory, the ferocity with which she does everything, all of that imo makes her a very attractive and complementary character to Aura. Or maybe its just mostly-straight dudes who want to self insert into the MC's story, having a hard time liking another dude

Uh... You see some random bits of conversations during the recruiting I guess. It'd mostly be for the XP at that point though.
I focused on the romantic thing because you were upset about that sort of content being absent from a game. I hard disagree about throwing in content that breaks lore for the sake of it being acceptable. For me that's about the least interesting thing a story can do. I'd be happy for the game to have more Alicia and Aura scenes. (lesbian, 3+ person, or even scenes focused solely on Alicia for that matter) It's just not anywhere on the current roadmap or something that's hinted at in game, so I don't see it happening soon and seems unlikely to me due to how much reworking would be required.It doesn't have to be very lore accurate or vanilla romantic.

I have a couple of question for those who've been playing this, I just started this game, and it's only been day 8, the books that you can buy from the shop, are they worth reading through and wasting an entire day? And if so, does days passing affect the story negatively besides the whole increase in corruption & lewdness?
The early game books aren't really worth reading, although you might consider giving them to your companions.
