Or he could simply do one big update instead of splitting them up. Either is a possibility but in any case it's up to him.

It also depends on how he leads up to said events, we have no way of knowing how things well play out till that point so you saying it could be 2 updates and screw over people doesn't really line up.

Another thing your ignoring is the fact it's quite clear he is setting things up for the offspring, be it Deryl's or MC. There would be ZERO reason to give us a choice during the cave to meet or not to meet Aglaecwif if that choice didn't matter.
this whole time and you've not addressed any of the logistics concerning the paths you are not worth talking to anymore

Because I'm not the dev. He clearly set things up a certain way for a reason but your ignoring that. But it is what it is. I gave you an easy out earlier to drop this but you didn't take it, so that's on you chief.

No matter what you say it's clear that an offspring will appear be it MC or Deryl's. It depends on our choice.

Also I'm not here to discuss the logistics of this or that. I don't care about shit from a business perspective, religious, etc. I'm just here to vibe and discuss the game. Not the business side of shit.

Also any theories about why Deryl kept quiet after meeting Aglaecwif? Thinking more about it...its kinda weird?

Perhaps their pact was a bit different from the one MC made with her (although I think MC was quiet about it too...well until he met Alexis and Val in the confinement room).
The MC doesn't tell Deryl about it either if he's the one that "bargains" with her.

True. I think it's weird neither of em talk about her at all to each other. She's clearly something that should be at least mentioned like "Oh shit Deryl. You missed it! Big Titty monster was here"

There's a difference between stability and strength of character.
Jake had low strength. It's only when he started doing big things that his ego got the upper hand. Before that, he was the same meek motherfucker as before. But he was stable enough to survive de process.

Emily has a lot on her mind and a lot going on. Her group of friends kinda bursted, her dad's making her life very rough, and she's uncertain of what direction to take with her future. Plus, we know she relies a lot on Shadow for mental support, and that dog, for all great that she is, stated herself that she doesn't have long left in this world.
It's easy to guess that her death will break Emily if she doesn't get more assurance in her own capacity.
So if she was to get infected now, the "monster gene" would likely pray on those insecurities and break her.
That's very true, it's hard to predict but maybe her will to do something about Ella might be the key, the situation with her father is solved (more or less), she gained some confidence, shadow wants Mc to be there for her, it is a better situation than before at least.
Maybe after trying to convice Ella she decides to stop her by herself even wanting powers of her own, with a more clear state of mind and a focused goal she could be strong enough to endure. Or on a low affection path maybe she just decides to stay with Ella to the bitter end, same focus but more unstable and with poor consequences.

They go out of their way to mention that killing/sparing jake during his arc is the first "big choice" in the game and all that has come from that is the most recent scene with him and mia getting her memories back (I have only saved him so IDK what the scene looks like if you ate him), but Id argue that Laurie dying (techicnally an LI/waifu/someone you fucked) is already "consequences"



So what about the patrons for the months leading up to that update? WW is very involved with them so is he going to tell "half" his supporters wont be able to play an update because they went down the wrong path? Or do you want WW to make basically 2 updates and release them at the same time? I get you want it to happen but look at this from a business/practical point of view....
The Mia thing plays out the same way basically. Only difference is that you save her yourself by using Jake's stored memories to fix her. It also alluded to the MC potentially being able to use his memory trait without touching her but we'll have to see him use it more in the future. Also Memory sharing was confirmed this update.

Thoughts on Emily:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Very well said on all of this but I do have to say in the case of Valvravn he and others on his level might just be able to differentiate who belongs to who far easier than Ella could.

Also might just be because that he is a monster himself so those of higher intelligence/power can innately know.

The game isn't hard though. I don't think I've ever got stuck on a part in this game since playing. Most dead ends are obvious. I wasn't even stuck on the Laurie stuff, for example. She's still dead on that playthrough and I didn't even try to go back and save her on it. I accepted it. I was more pissed with the fact that we had to bend over for Deryl to save her, especially after the shit he put everyone through. Also, for not outright killing Jared and just standing there having a conversation about it.

But yeah, that topic is done so I'll drop it.
You should definitely give saving Laurie a try. Not necessarily because of her, but how she survives.

A lot of people seem to be sleeping on what the MC actually does in that scene.

...or I could just spoil it for anyone who's curious.

I already know majority of this. I was speaking from the pov of my corruption MC.

I already saved Laurie on my main and skill MC lol. I was referring to my corruption and murderhobo MC, who are both prone to selfishness and straight up unapologetic brutality. If there was a kill Deryl option, he would probably have died this update on these two playthroughs. They can be that ruthless at times.

Wow that was a lot of homework my guy, and we might be assuming A LOT but i'm inclined to agree with you.

The choice of words really seems deliberate, it could be said that Mc was healing her faster than the damage, but instead it gives the idea that he was just keeping her the way she was during the explosion to then start to heal, and if it was case Mc did use the same invulnerability power Ella showed, and on a different person.

Quick Question
when we do that delivery job for the shopkeep should i take the horn or the eye, for reference im playing a skill/low corruption MC and ive always taken the horn to get that power increase so that when we get to Valravn fight i have the skill and power to destroy him, what perks do the eye give in the long run? is it worth more than the Horn?

For corruption path take the horn (you wont make the skill check for 1 valravn win point)
But if you go skill you can take either... The eye later can give +10 power (same as horn) or +3 skill...
Basically it's a second reward where you can pick from stats or answers (so +6 skill is possible that route)

But it's possible to get +5 power and + 3 skill and keeping the eye too.
One path means you get a sex scene the other means saving a character later...
Possibly there's more reasons to take the eye and which path is "best" but that will be another update.

So in your case i would say take the eye, even if you end up keeping it....

I think these are all the new stuff that MC can do:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

MC still maintains his mostly technical combat style, based on defensive sword play, tactical usage of his tail, baiting for an opening to use mantis punch and only increasing his mass to deliver extremely powerful attacks based on momentum.

He can now augment this style with exotic materials, armor and weapon design, taken from monsters. His mental attacks also help in giving him an edge as long as he can maintain his technical advantage.

I can't wait to see how he is going to incorporate the new "Frozen form" and "Reactionary hardening" abilities into his combat style, or if he actually has enough power to even attempt it in his current power level. I also wonder if we will see offensive transmutation abilities, especially ones delivered through attacking since his powers seem to favor touch.

I can easily imagine MC's swords instantly transmuting whatever mass they come in contact with to a softer material.

I like the new swords kind of whip swords if only raven boy teaches us it's swordplay that would make them deadly as fuck now we are only missing an Energy attack and we would be complete i mean we already have blunt, piercing and slashing damage and now a mental one so yes we are almost perfect
