You guys trying to do virgin run of that game or what? xD
If she doesn't know about mind reading, what the hell does Ella think the second power is?
My guess, she thinks it is mimicry. In the "Too strong, too soon" ending, we attack Ella with tentacles, but also with poison we copied from jellyfish and something else. That's all we show her there. Now, when I think about it, Ella transforms a lot ofc, but I don't remember her using anything that appears copied. She uses tentacles, blades, she changes her body, she changes into huge blob monster, but she doesn't really changes into anything resembling actual animal (correct me if I'm wrong) while MC does it a lot. We also barely see her impersonating anyone. In fact, I think it happened only once when she impersonated MC. I think she can't really "copy" a person or animal. That one time with MC she pulled off, must have been just by micromanaging her shapeshifting, the same way MC tried with Deryl near the begginig of story. Ofc Ella have way, WAY better control over shapeshifting than MC, so "manually" impersonating someone was way easier, but I think that straight "copying" a person, animal or parts of them is out of reach for her.
So yeah, I belive that Ella have mistaken 4th's power to be mimicry (copying someone), while it's actually mindreading. With that mindreading, comes the power to copy a person perfectly, or understand how a body works (so poison the body produces, or that shrimp power clamp attack MC still is trying to pull off).
Always fun to overthing some stuff in this threat. xD
True, true. Also proves some point about MC powers. Coz sure, shooting plasma or hitting stuff with gravity itself is cool, but you can't really fuck it, can ya?We all would, in his shoes. When you have shapeshifting, why not have fun with it ?
Now I think about it, the whole situation is kinda weird. In the "Too strong, too soon" bad ending Ella says that MC inherited both traits. I guess she means traits from both parents - 3rd and 4th, so the powers of shapeshifting and mind-probing. But it can't be it, coz she doesn't know about mind reading? She is actually surprised if we tell her about it later on. And she kills us for it.It's quite possible that at some point the new powers, or degree of improvement, will depend on the chosen Parent. After all, both seem to represent one side of his powers, the 3rd being the shapeshifting, and the 4th being the memory reading. WW did say at some point that the choice would have an impact later on, and we've yet to see that happen so far (not counting a text mention here or there obviously).
It's a bit of a bitch, writing-wise, so it's unsurprising it hasn't happened yet, but I kinda doubt it'll only impact the very end.
