Yeah, gotta admit WW giving Jared literal plot armor was pretty funny. But yeah, gotta let MC fuck up some actual scumbags

Ok, so i don't want to read any spoilers for the game, but last update left me feeling uncomfortable and i don't want to sour on this game just cause it invokes certain feelings at times, so all i want to know is, are the twins ok after this update or should i wait till the next one?

[edit: quick heads up though, the next update might take a bit longer to come out]

Around 90% sure Amber is gonna be fine, Very unsure about Liz but I doubt anything bad is gonna happen without giving you any agency/choice. Probably should wait for next update though.

I'm quoting you since you are the last one to mention it. But why do people think that Amber is going to somehow be fine when Cole says that he killed both?

Is it denial or there is an actual reason? There is nothing in this scene suggesting that's the case. Unless you strictly talk about the immediate future.
I mean sure, if I try I can find 2 reasons why she may have more chances to survive
1. Based on the PoV and some things Tanos says, she probably has taken better to her powers.
2. Liz would be willing to sacrifice herself for a small chance to save Amber

But these are thin as fuck when a level 3 wants to kill you and says that he did so.

bold move but wonder if the creator has the integrity to keep her dead or she just going regenerate her body back in the next update.
Man we have seen how superhumans can survive through a lot.
I don't rly think she is dead.
Maybe like Laurie we'll have the option to save her or let her die and like it was hinted with Bailey. There is a chance MC will play a role in her survival (yk when she (Bailey) said "I'm sure you'll be able to make a body for me" or smt). Maybe regen her and just a theory I have but we didn't see Amber so she is prbbly alive (atleast I don't remember the mention of her being dead but correct me if I'm wrong) and MAYBE their link is keeping liz alive. And who knows, It can be one of their characteristics to not die unless they both are.

I don't think it's that far fetched of an idea. So don't feel offended if I "copied" you, I didn't. I just don't read every comment on the thread. (Just taking safety measures lol)

[EDIT] Reading the 2 comments up there... I kinda agree with this point...
1. Based on the PoV and some things Tanos says, she probably has taken better to her powers.
I think she'll play a key role in the keeping alive part.

Guys, I think we forget that this is a choice based game. There will be a path where they die (one fo them or both) and another one where they'll survive prbbly depending on your stats and choices like with Laurie, maybe even the relationsip points will play a part in it.
Thinking abt it, Deryl with his philosopher stone coupled with MC's power have the potential to do smt

Ok so trying to get everything about the scene
The mc enters the room and it's normal, then it gets red and we hear a heartbeat, his own heart jumps crashing against his ribcage the moment he enters, the room is cold like he just entered a freezer.
There is someone in the room filled with anger and power "and something else too"
Mc smashes the room open and Cole is backwards, we hear a heartbeat again, the red returns to the room and we hear the sound of a power being used, the same we hear when a mind power is used, Mc seems to feel pain being affected by this power "my brain splits i feel dizzy". He wonders if it's the memories or the drugs he feels sick, very sick and almost bends and vomits.

not to mention MC also have started to train with having part of his body not melt when disconnected from him so if Liz is gonna survive I think that may have something to do with it. I also got the feeling with the way the doctor spoke that maybe liz and amber would get put together and share 1 bod. but all we can do is wait for the next update to come

Maaaaan, yiu guys are rly smt. I didn't even think much of it. I was just like, oh maybe he is seeing the scene from the outside (3pt of view, he refuses to believe it then he is hit with the fatality) bc of the trauma. Lol, I'm sooo far from the truth it seems.
Great analyze you do guys keep up the good work I love it.

My headcanon of MC vs Cole:

MC will at beginning beat the shit of Cole because of his anger, Cole will use his new weapon but depending on our skill level we will be equal or start losing, Liz or Amber will try using something against Cole, but will not be that effective. This will get MC attention to them, making Cole see the opening. Depending on our power level we can overpower him and have the option to eat him for good or get Liz and Amber out of there fast. If you don't have the power level Cole will give you a last blow while you are busy with the twins and he flees.

WW is the only developer on this game. We won't have splitting paths where one leads to Cole dying and the other leads to him getting away. That would create too large of a difference in the storyline where it would essentially be writing two games for future development.
The only way that could work out is if Cole ran away and never came back, which I doubt would end up happening.

That is an interesting intake, some thoughts on it:

1. The knife absorbing heat is a good explanation since none of Cole's powers until now even gave a hint of not being heat based, someone mentioned how it could be simply because the place is kinda of a morgue so preserving the bodies with low temperature makes sense.

2. As for affecting Mc making him feel sick seems more of a strech, Michael does that with his powers (as far as i rememeber not just while using his crimsom knife) but is very especific to him, sure Tanos could have made Cole's knife with the same effect but nothing indicates that at least for me so i will just keep my mind open.

3. Evolutions are usually VERY bombastic, i mean Jake's was more internal and subtle but he is a mind based superhuman, with Cole being fire based i would expect something much more flashy. Him trembling doesn't seem enough to be sure its because of evolution.
It could be many things, him remebering the fear he felt during his own time as a lab rat, a hint of emotion after killing people that were just like him, being excited to finally get his new weapon, or even feeling cold inside that freezer, all those seem more reasonable as explanations than an evolution.
In fact i think it would be more appropriate for Cole to evolve during his fight against Mc, even more because Deryl will join and Mc can heal Michael and Alice easily to join too.

4. Mc was unable to feel the apostles during Michael and Tifanny second evolution, until he touched Michael directly just to be expelled right away by Power, i assume he is better now after the paths and his reaction does remind the effects of absorbing the apostles memories so i will hold that thought.
We know Great Ocean from the twins infection, we don't know whatever Cole would connect with, though in terms of link i would say that at the moment the affection Mc feels for the twins is comparable to the hatred he feels for Cole, i say this because to me none would be priority for an inconscious link to form, Mc is all about instinct, he learned to form links to higher powers with Syla so now i wouldn't be surprised if he could do the same by instinct.

5. I agree that the twins affecting Mc normally wouldn't make sense, the only explanation to me is the Strenght Eater trait, Malik was held for a good chunk of time by them, there was a lot in play but given the circunstance i expect a lvl 1 spawn of them to be able to affect a lvl 3 even if just a little.

6. Apostles can be protective of the spawns they think are promising, so Great Ocean being pissed and making his presence know seems reasonable.

7. Cole appearance being the same is also a good reason to doubt an evolution, Shen is also one of the orphans and he changed a lot, though that's not a rule at all.

8. I don't even think it would be a premature evolution for the twins considering the timeframe of others, what i would consider is if the requirements for the special twin evolution were met, Tanos didn't say anything about it specifically but i think he implied they should be alone for the "link" to form, if Great Ocean did in fact decide to make an appearance i would say the chances are good.

For me, the only positive aspect of this update was the possibility that things might finally get moving again in the next update. It feels like the longer this game goes on the more drawn-out and self-indulgent everything becomes. I've skipped more in each of the last three or four updates than in the entirety of the story before that combined. My advice to any writer running into that problem is to find an editor whose taste you trust and who isn't afraid to push back.

Also, this kind of cliffhanger does less than nothing for me. An episode ending that makes the reader ask "are they really dead?" or "are they going to stay dead?" is a cheap ending that doesn't lead to meaningful speculation, particularly when it is repeating previous story beats, because it leaves the story in limbo over what might as well be a coin flip (the author's whims). Instead of spending the time waiting for the next update thinking about the ramifications, my brain just goes "well, either they go through with it or they don't" and then tosses the story aside until the next update appears. If the author actually plans to kill off characters, the better version of that cliffhanger is: Surprise, they're dead! Yes, really. Yes, permanently. Now, what does that mean?

For a good example of that kind of cliffhanger, watch The Expanse:

- I admit the evolution idea is one of the crazier ones. I agree that they tend to be bombastic, but it's not necessary. For example, Clark and Alexis ones were fairly mild. My idea is that the stronger the Superhuman, the crazier the evolution. But to be honest, the fact that his appearence didn't change is the strongest counterargument.

- One thing to remember about the Malik scene, is that it was a direct counter to him and a Chosen was involved.
1. Eisheth and the Estries (probable name for the pink monsters) made the barrier.
2. Undynes filled the orb with water (I suppose, based on the mythology), which is the natural counter to Malik's power.
3. Strength Eaters probably sapped Malik's power buying some more time.
So we really shouldn't attribute this to strength eaters as it was a team effort designed to work against Malik and most of the monsters involved already had an affinity for water.
Additionally, if the Strength Eaters are supposed to become stronger by facing stronger enemies.. shouldn't the Twins focus on draining Cole instead of MC? And then, we don't really now how they drain power. If they are anything like Michael's absorption of Energy, they have to engage in order to absorb, it's not necessarily a mental/intangible process.

So for this one to be true, a lot of things have to be true. Twins need to be conscious, their power needs to work at range and at will without a need for engagement, and they need to have enough strength to stun MC who is one of the more powerful level 3s.

- Since you mentioned it, I think MC was actually better at feeling the Apostles than Nyx. He was the only one who noticed that Tiffany also has formed a connection, even if Michael's was stronger, and now we have an answer as to why, as the last 6 Apostles are far away and it takes more effort to connect. He just needed to touch her first because it's how he was expressing his Memory powers at the time.

In any case, I see what you mean with MC's emotions, however the episode happens before he figures out that Cole killed the Twins. While he probably doesn't like Cole, I don't think MC feels that strongly about him. After all it's not like Cole ever did anything to MC (unprovoked at least). It was Jared that fired the first shot.

- You are right, "premature" at this point wouldn't be correct. The Twins have gone through hell and they probably are already advanced level 1s, considering how much they have regenerated and that Liz already is capable of using the liquid teleportation ability.

Their evolution would be the most surefire way to survive. Oscar managed to return from death after a comparatively long time, even if he monsterfied. Considering that the Twins are linked and that we didn't see Amber actually being dead, there is a good chance she has clinged to life. If she manages to evolve before her last breath, Liz will evolve too.

Every time a Superhuman evolves, his body is fixed. Alice is the greatest example, who lost half her body when she released Clark's power.

I was thinking like Danica and Jake. Even smaller characters like Demi and... Big Booba (I forgot the name, sorry). They are examples of characters that can die earlier but still have scenes in the story of you let them live. So in my little fantasy this would be the big fight of Cole with the MC. If you let him go away he will have more scenes later but not another big fight with MC.

But is just my fantasy, let me dream!!

The problem is that Cole can't be left in a position to continue being a threat after he survives. He isn't some level 1 or 2 pushover. He is an advanced level 3 with the potential to reach level 5 and be a menace, especially with how strong his jealousy is and how crazy he acted in this update.

If he manages to flee, he would need a reason to either become a true ally to MC (really hard), or be taken care of by someone else, like Shen or Tanos for example who both should be angry with him. I suspect that even Ella would kill him herself if it was reason enough for MC to join them. It's really hard to keep such a character alive and at large when you try to minimize the branches.

So the way I see it, either MC kills/eats him, or someone else takes care of him down the line if it's a question of saving the Twins or killing Cole (and probably by the end of the next update). It would suck if he is left alive to reach level 4 and become an antagonist again. Not only it hasn't happened before but this story with Cole (and Jared) has gone long enough. The audience is itching for it. I feel that a cop-out or plot armor will weaken the story overall.
