Me feeling like a little boy scout for only having one corruption point for Bailey :LOL:
No corruption runs are more popular than I initially gave them credit for. One big part that I dislike about them though it that if you go 0 Corruption + Full Skill (which is the best approach IMO), you fail every single power check which is something that I dislike, despite these powerchecks not being that important.

As far as Bailey is concerned, I think that MC should eat her no matter what. She seemingly gets a better progression that way. It's one of the best arguments against a 0 corruption run as far as I'm concerned, unless you play MC as an anti-monster zealot. Frankly I'd love if she got a more prominent role as MC's pet in any playthrough. She is really good at that and her abilities aren't that bad for the role.

can you murdereat that fat fuck erick?
Yes, you choose whether to kill him or not during the conclusion of Liz's route.

That was annoying, but I think the only power checks I truly remember missing were the ones for the first interaction and fight with Klaus. I forgot if training increased power or not but something kept it at a decent level; maybe the choices that gave straight power and the monster parts you can buy.

Well, this is no OPM. Superhuman is more similar to Dragon Ball (just written better) there's always a stronger dude with some grudge against the MC

Personally, I would say superhuman is similar to Bleach more than Dragonball. If we're comparing it to anime. Especially since Ichigo found out his parents were soul reapers and a quincy(?) after he became one himself. Which lines up with MC learning that his mom was a althuman and superhuman .

So far there has been absolutely no reason "in game" to have a 0 corruption run. The lowest corruption check towards the start is at 3 (pretty sure that's all or most corruption at that point) and on my "low corruption" I was at 2 until Micheal's dream, pretty sure corruption checks have only gone up (around the 20s now).

I would be really surprised if there is ever anything for specifically 0 corruption, maybe something related to an ending so WW doesn't have to write/juggle another possible "path".

I too don't expect 0 corruption to be important. Perhaps a minor alteration of an ending? Don't think it will be more than that.

I remember a dialogue with Syla during the stormy night, she mentions how you can regain a lot of what the "voices" took from you if you keep in touch with your humanity and find love, i wonder if we will have the chance to purge some corruption eventually for the people who kept it low, or if we will have some margin to work with for a "pure" ending.

I figure we'll probably see the organization working on curing monsterism (and that probably treated Syla) at some point. Or some survivor of it, at least, if it's been wiped out. It's Chekov's Gun, WeirdWorld wouldn't have drawn attention to it with Markus Alderman having a scene just to tell us about it if it was never going to become relevant. And they'd be the most likely people to know anything about lowering corruption.

Considering that all the corruption checks have been going up (3?,6?,15?,25?) I think it's very unlikely that we are going to see anything from a 0 corruption run, not just because of bailey being around is the "nice" option but you get more lore about the immaterial world and future potential for MC power (he'll be able to bring "back" from there), and then Micheal's dream is "harmless" corruption (ie nobody is hurt you just eat dream monsters) but raises the stat by 5 makes me think it's even less likely that a 0 run will get anything (maybe a line or two of dialog that won't change anything else)

If Syla went to the same place MC went (deryl comments on it being shady af but fancy).....then I don't think they were curing monsterism......

Unless Ella knows MC at some other point in his missing history that's the place they first met, probably where she met tanos (guess based on her looking younger in that photo), and the place where "her plan" was hatched. It would be the biggest twist in the game if they were legit good (or even not bad) people :KEK:

Logically that group would have to better "monster focused medical stuff" than xanthe since all he can do (with decades and all of heros resource) is prevent corruption if you wear a helmet (for at least 6-8 hours if mc sleeps normally). Curing corruption would have been "helpful" for hero as well considering Henri/Nyx.

Oh, I don't think they're the "good guys". But curing monsterism is a practical goal even if you're not very altruistic, like you said it would be a big help for anyone working with superhumans. Though oddly, Markus Alderman said that Xanthe considered the monsterism-curing group to have a "regressive philosophy", so maybe he doesn't agree. Maybe it's not that the best he can do is prevent corruption, but that he just doesn't want to do more for whatever reason.

And yeah, Ella might have first encountered the MC at the hospital. It's that or at the homeless camp he ran away to, but we have that photo of her in the hospital, so that seems more likely. Which raises some ominous possibilities. Stephen worked for the institute that treated Syla, and probably had at least some idea of what they did there. And Ella considers the MC to be the only other survivor of...something, though we don't know what. Did Stephen give his child over to Tanos to be experimented on?

The homeless camp happend after his mother died right? He remembers the homeless guy who acted like a father figure for the camp but not Ella? He does not have any memories after the incident so that means if he encountered Ella before his mother died

If we talk about the main character, his powers are basically the powers of Alex Mercer from the prototype video game. We haven't seen him use energy attacks yet that I remember. And the other characters have a wide variety of superpowers from anime, manga and comics.

Which, again, is pretty ominous. What happened during the time he spent with Ella that Syla didn't want him to remember? If Tanos did work at that clinic, odds are good that he would have seen the human-monster hybrid that is the MC and wanted to experiment on him. Syla said that the memories she blocked would be hard on the MC, and Tanos' experiments would be pretty hard on him.
