Morning, everyone
Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing, just trying to explain because I failed to do so ingame, obviously.
We all deal with unexpected situations differently. Some go into full confrontation, some just accept, some deny, and some desperately try to stick to their "normal" life. Often enough it doesn't matter what exactly the new situation is. It can be the loss of a loved one. Some cry for weeks and some seem to shrug it off without any emotion.
In our case, MC tries to stick to his normal routines in a world that isn't normal anymore.
Of course, it means I failed to explain his motivations better. At least for you.
Also, you're the first who mentioned the Flashdance reference, congrats
The first part is actually pretty close to the sequence in the movie (at least I think so...).
Uh-Oh. For guys like you, I spent several evenings on Fiona's (and Elea's) scene.
I seriously hope I found all "weird" combinations.
Especially Fiona was a headache in that regard.
I'm really happy the Fiona scene works (at least for you). It's one of the things I was worried about before the release. Will it work for the players or does it feel too forced?
Thanks for your feedback.
Right now no endings for any side girl planned.
That's exactly why there's that option. To let you keep all options. You won't miss any of her content if you chose the step back (as long as your points with her are high enough). At some point (in a future chapter) you'll need to make a decision, tho.
That's true for all LI's.
Thanks a lot, Vleder.
As I already said, I appreciate any kind of support. Posting here or chatting on my Discord already IS support.
There is one. You need to accept Anissa's proposal in Chapter 2 (go to the bar without Helena).
Thanks A LOT for that long feedback.
Lots of food for thought.
Your point about Neverwhere got me thinking. Especially about how others handled it. And most of the time it's hardly explained why nobody noticed the weird things. If at all. For example the Dresden Files: the main character runs around in modern Chicago blowing up things. The reaction of the authorities? Well, we have that special police department that deals with supernatural shit. We place all kinds of people there, we can't fire them but don't want them in the "serious" departments.
Even when half of that department is shredded into pieces by a mythical creature, the authorities just go "Well, we'll replace the lost guys but we still don't believe in supernatural things."
The Nightside by Simon Green is just... there. No further explanation why the world isn't going crazy over it.
Maybe it's one of those things you just need to accept to enjoy the setting in general.
You're absolutely right, a good explanation for all of it is hard. To the point, it's probably impossible to have answers to all doubts and questions. At least I can't remember about any book series that managed to achieve that.
Glad you like it. And thanks for the report. I never use auto forward and didn't have something like that happen to me.
I'll look into it.
