There is a good chance the arc we are on now wouldn't have happened.

Or rather, a lot of the plot points we know now wouldn't remain the same whatsoever (HERO as we know could be drastically different although they of course appeared prior to the whole Klaus stuff anyway).


Rather its right or wrong is up for debate.

Honestly Weird's only reason for scrapping it was solely due to how much work it would've been and with his common phrase "I can't be fucked" more or less confirms how much effort it would've been (then again he is also lazy sometimes).

Back to what I said before its unknown how a lot of things would've been handled if he went with the Klaus option. Mafia arc was the end of the game (originally) so there is no telling how WeirdWorld would've handled battle of diamonds (or if it even would've happened).

I was under the impression that if WW decided to keep the Klaus path, both that one and the one we are playing now would be worked on at the same time, therefore stalling the flow of story on both, was I wrong about that? It's not that I don't like the idea of the Klaus path, it does sound interesting, but it would at least double the wait time for an update of each path so it's not something I can agree with.

Hmmm if we were going to join SIN in the Klaus path how could the game end in the mafia arc?

Because honestly with or without the Klaus choice the game was always going to blow up.

MC joining Klaus makes the most sense narratively if you sided with Klaus.

There is no real way of telling how he'd work on both at the same time.

It's quite likely he would of broke what he said way earlier on about not doing multi paths (routes) if he did keep the Klaus stuff.

Rather this delays or does whatever is another story. Like I said a lot of what we have now would be different or not exist. Weird likes to 'withhold' information so it'd be a challenge to make sure info in the SIN path wouldn't reveal too much on the HERO path (if he was going to do that at all).

It could of also resulted in a story vote on which route took priority (he stopped doing those though literally in the Mafia arc lol).

But yeah its a lot of speculation and not enough answers but we'll get them after 1.0 if Weird does really do a cut content stream.

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

FUCK NO I WAS CORRECT. FUCK SHIT FUCKING FUCK

You bolded the line where his father snatched the dose out of his hand. while underplaying the line a few lines down where 14 year old klaus agrees to betray the girl who just went through so much to give him a cure. So that his dad can sell it for an even better cure.
here:

sure, he did not INITIALLY plan to betray alice.
Alice gave him a cure and he planned to use the cure.
But then his father snatched it from his hand, asked him what it was for, and asked 14 year old klaus to betray alice and in return for that betrayal klaus will get an even better cure and become strong.
===

this is a classic abuser line.
"she made me hit her"

Also at this point Klaus is a superhuman and his family is already at the top.
where he ordered a hit on alice's family who were way weaker.

And you are also glossing over how he justifies his family betraying those who have helped his family before so they can rise above them. returning kindness with backstabbing.

He could have said "I am sorry, my dad decided to do that, and he was wrong"... except, he couldn't really because at that point his dad was already retired and he was the head of his family.

His twisted views of love are irrelvant.

Here you show that Klaus firmly believes he did nothing wrong.
This is him showing no remorse and seeing no problem with his actions.

Maybe you will get it better with a fiction analogy?
... how about... kartman from south park?
You notice how kartman is shown as believing in his own bullshit? How every time he "recalls" a scene it changes to show himself at a better light?

When Klaus goes "I just wanted to be strong for my family and you" and so on, he is showing zero remorse for betraying her. and insisting he was justified all along.

From his perspective, it's entirely understandable. He was not wrong. He and Alice have opposing interests. It's as simple as that.

I think at this point it's apparent, from the differing opinions among the community, that this issue isn't as clear cut as you made it out to be.
I'm sure that this doesn't really change your opinion. Tbh I dislike Klaus too and despite "defending" his actions, I don't really care much about it. I'd always pick Alice if given the choice because I don't like opportunists.

But calling my interpretation "fantasy" was premature.

Does training in the Gym give you more power? Should I prioritize it after actual "training"?

 

[Zeca Suez]

I don't see why Klaus is getting any love lol.He was a good son and a shitty person,a shitty friend,a shitty teammate he didn't care much about Oscar and Danica anyways so he would be a shitty ally for mc as well lol,a person with rapist tendencies,a shitty boss too,He had everything handed to him he didn't work for shit his skills were lousy asf for his powers,he couldn't manage the mafia without his father as he told how incompetent he was in that regard and thought Alice was a bum like him lol.Lastly a lot of people have regrets and remorse when they die doesn't mean shit. It means they lost and now they feel remorse .It simply means he had regrets because he lost lol not because of any other reason pretty convenient right.To sum up he was handed everything and yet he was incompetent asf in comparison to his peers and I am not even going to talk about how deluded he was lol.He was a cool villian your starter type villian a good stepping stone with cool powers and some backstory and that's about it.

They need to add clapping as a reaction in on here cause that's very well put. Very clear and correct. Feel bad for how his life went but he never redeemed himself when he was alive.

Who the heck would even defend Klaus ?

You can't choose where you train and the Gym events aren't for training. The gym are just events for a character storyline. You should always do training whenever it is available, ignore the gym and other stuff if you have training to do.

i was wondering in some moments in the story we are allowed to choose to gain strength/skill boosts from certain characters or gain knowledge about certain things. Does the boosts in physical capabilities actually effect the story in any sort of way? or is knowledge just the better choice overall

Both skill and power are important at various points in the game. Generally speaking there aren't a lot of trade off points. In the first fight with Michael at the school it is better to go all out(power bonus) vs the skill bonus option. But everywhere else it is better to get the skill points or a balance of skill and power vs. all power. At the battle of diamonds if you go right you can get +3 skill and +5 power while if you go right you get a bunch of options including between +3 skill or +10 power...in that instance I think going to the right is definitely the way to go. At the end of the battle of diamonds there will be a character that can only be saved if you have 28 skill and the most you can have at that point in the game is 30, but since it is optimal to choose power vs Michael you can only have 29 so getting one of the two options that gives +3 skill at the earlier crossroads will define if you can save that character or not.

yea i have 100 power and 29 skill right now. After choosing both strength and skill increase from that female monster which was supposed to protect the gate due to Ellas orders. So i was just wondering if that was the best option or choosing something like "what is ellas plan" "where did the monsters come from" etc

If you went left of see Aglaecwif then you only got +3 skill...would have been better to go right for +3 skill and +5 power. If you wanted to do the thing Aglaecwif wanted you'd have got the chance to do it later in the game.

It is clear that there is more person who would throw their lot in with someone who will backstab.
The fact that more than one such person exist does not make them valid.

Have you seen the "I can fix him/her" meme? This meme is real.

And completely irrelevant to every counterargument made towards your point.
But ok. I got the message. And in the interests of keeping up with you, the fact that some people love to project and being biased about characters that a medium portrays as "friends to the protagonist", does not make them valid.

does the power level go past 100? if not then theres no real need for me to go back

[Gtdead]

Thinking about it, Laurie is a hero of the diamond battle. She led a battalion, she helped with Xanthe's quest. She too deserves a reward and an evolution should either fully fix her up or give us a new monster waifu. Both are win.

Laurie

Ayy big dawg
