The way I see it, MC has already surpassed Cole at this point. However Cole is close to evolving so I think that the "real fight" will take place after he reaches level 4.Thinking back on it. It might be better to just go off into the deep end instead of doing side stuff next update. I had to think about the MC vs Cole thing and my point would be much truer if the MC got too much time to grow. MC would probably kick Cole's ass brutally, just like Ella and Zara said.
While I would still like it, I feel like the MC would be too prepared for what's to come. If he's allowed to build himself up, he wouldn't feel as pressed by Cole and them. His growth rate is too high and HERO has the supplements to increase it even further. Even Shop Keep assistance makes it faster as well. The max amount of PP you can have this update is 363, I believe. That means, we potentially gained 50+ PP from this update alone. That's while the MC isn't training as hard as he did leading up to the Battle of Diamonds. If he really pushed himself, trained seriously and HERO backed him even more, MC could probably reach 500 PP in another week.
Plus, I really want a main love interest to die. No offense to Laurie but she wasn't that huge of a lost. MC felt it but it wasn't heart shattering. Only 3 women would make the MC spiral out of control and those are Amber, Liz and Alice. Maybe even Emily. But those three would definitely send him over the edge and go full murderhobo. With the way this Twin Arc is set up, I feel I'll get to see it happen. The main waifus have too much plot armor or should I say they can't be offed that easily but Amber and Liz might be the first ones up now. I was hoping Ella would play a role in it but she got saved from being mostly responsible for it.
For reference these are the power gains in this update:
1) 10 from Training 1
2) 3 from Training 2
3) 10 from perfect infiltration (can be missed)
4) 10 from Asura (can be missed)
5) 15 from buying shopkeep's power items (can be delayed)
So it can range anywhere from 13 to 48 and since 2 weeks have passed since MC evolved, it averages anywhere from 7 to 24 power per week.
As for LIs dying, The way I see it, two things are more likely to happen.
1) Christie will die and become the drive for Emily's arc. Christie has exhausted her usefulness in Ella's backstory, and currently she really isn't that useful other than nudging MC to look for clues on her plans. Now MC has a lot of clues to investigate, all of them tied to her supernatural abilities, so I don't see the point of Christie remaining as she is. She is marked however so the dramatic potential will be limited.
2) The twins will fuse. This will probably take some ingame weeks to happen but it's a fairly good ending to the story, has a dramatic effect and the potential for some choice without too much branching, because the game will only have to account for 1 character, not 2. The dialogue may be a bit different at times, like for example Liz Dominant / Amber Dominant / Perfect fusion, and the fusion result can be tied to the romance variables/state of sidequest completion.
Yeah, game theories are a fun exercise for me. Now for the memory bit, it's just a matter of efficiently traversing the script. I only have to remember the scenes very vaguely. Trust me, it's nothing special. Just create one text file containing all the scripts (game/scripts/*.rpy files) and use the search function of whatever text editor you are using. For images you can use the renpy console to view the scenes without having to replay the game or keep specific saves. The command is "jump" and you use the name of the label you find in the script. For example if you type "jump evo3" in the console you can view the third evolution scene.Just gotta say brother GT, I've always loved/admired your enthusiasm when it comes to laid out discussions. You've got the memory (and brain) I wish I had
It's one of the variables set at game start but it's never used. So it's either forgotten or WW has just declared a bunch of variables for things to come down the line, perhaps for scripts he has already written.Also got a question for y'all I was checking the game variables we have "kissclaudia" variable it must be for future right because I don't remember any kiss.
Generally speaking, the relationship points don't play much of a role. If I remember correctly, only Jake is affected by relationship points, determining the outcome of the meeting in prison. All the other girls use variables other than the relationship score.I'm legit praying for the Nico haters downfall for rejecting her goodwill. That -10 on her relationship stat has to lead to a dead end. There's no way such a large lost of points shouldn't. That's legitimately the largest lost of points in the entire game, from a single choice. No other choice gives you -10 like that. Hell, I don't even think a single choice gives you -5 from any character.
So yeah, I'm high key hoping for another dead end meltdown like the one where people thought MC could beat Nico at Level 2. People got so mad that she tossed them into space like it was nothing.
Nico has the nicoassist and nicostrong variables. I think they are going to play a much bigger role than the relationship score.
