It was very painful, until now i think the most traumatic superhuman transformantion. But also very important to make people connect more with Liz and Amber, i like them quite a lot, but that is not unanimity here.
This game has me heavily emotionally invested and that part was ROUGH. Up to that point, the game seemed to avoid the worst of those types of topics or avert them last second. Then we get to the scene of Amber just kinda hanging there, begging for mercy... and it hits like a truck. Completely throwing expectations of a last-minute save by some random out the window. I'm re-reading now and I am NOT looking forward to going through that again.
Yeah. The fact it happened to innocent Amber and Liz, the MC's biggest/closest connections to the "normal" world... This event turned them into side characters (of varying popularity and I personally liked) and into main characters we are sympathetic and invested in.
So far I like Xanthe Sr but it's quite possible/probable that the only reason he's not shown to be as bad as Tanos is due to the rest of the council holding him back... And given his conversation with Dexter about not holding back with test subjects going forward and how Malik wasn't going to be happy, I don't imagine that will still be the case when we get back.
And I think special mention should also be given to the fact that a lot of those fighting side characters are hot love interests.
Oh I don't disagree at all, I didn't mean to say Malik isn't a good person or anything along those lines, just that he's not a paragon or some great Hero. He's got plenty of flaws and isn't as good as he seems, I don't remember exactly what it was that really cemented that idea in my mind but I'm fairly sure it was either something he suggested during a meeting or how he agreed with a course of action that was very morally questionable towards normal human's.
This is by all that I've read correct, as I've stated in the past from everything I've read in game the path your powers take and your overall growth are mainly governed my mentality. There are other factors of course but none of them are quite as important as your mental state, it's the main reason why no two Superhuman's evolve the same way even if they share the same progenitor and also why despite what some people may want we will very likely never do the things Syla could do, simply because our power's will not go down the same path as her's.
There's a few large problems with your idea here. To start with, it's very bold of your to make claims to do with Ella's plan and it's lack of feasibility when we don't know her overall plan, we've seen parts of it and a few hints here and there but we still don't know her end goal or all of the moving parts of said plan.
Imo everyone who's somewhat vaguely aware of whats gonna happen in the future (Ella, Deus, maybe xanthe, thanos, dexter) has more or less the same plan just different means to achieve that.
Speaking of hitting like a truck. I just got to the "Embrace her" scene and had to put the game down and cry for a bit. I've played probably 100 VNs at this point and this might be a first. WeirldWorld's earned that patreon sub from me. And Tanos has earned the most painful death imaginable. Playing a low corruption route but I can make an exception for that bastard.
Yeah, the feelings I got from the story was that of humanity stealing "fire" from the "gods".
There's a scene after a HERO meeting when Nyx asked him "being a good guy is not easy huh?" and he was very reluctant about the word "good guy". I think it's the earliest hint that his misdeeds(necessary evil or not) along the years have started catching up to his conscience, and his faith is actually not as well kept as it seems.
Well he is most likely a lvl4(lvl3 Cole with full force couldn't even budge his arms and he didn't want to fight him despite hating him to the guts) and still has a big role in the plot, so MC is not killing him anytime soon.
glad you are enjoying, here a gift:
Thanos don't look the kind of person who would be afraid of evolving, and if he found a way to do it he would do immediatly. So yeah i also think he's level 5.
His lvl was never mentioned, and I don't see anything pointing to him being a lvl5. Actually thinking about it he might not even operate on the level thingy given he is a Rebis spawn.
I'm not sure about that. If his story about spending a lot of time hunting for the ideal monster to gain powers from is true (and it probably is, as there's little reason to lie about that), then Tanos is willing to take longer if it has superior results. We don't know how Tanos' current method of triggering evolution is, but we know that it's not as good as his father's. Tanos might be holding off on evolving until he refines his process to be at least as good as the evolution serum.
It's a dream the MC has very early in the game. Like, I think it's even before the frat house. It's why people were suspecting Syla's death had something to do with monsters long before we learned anything about her. Between a mysterious death and dreams hinting at that death it was clear Syla was plot relevant from early on.
Damn. I need to replay this game as soon as I reach the current end. There's so much to pick up on. Gahhhhhh
