she really grew on me, it was a long story development for her to be cut out that quickly. The funeral with Auld lang syne is beautiful but Alex is way too cool and composed with her death IMO
Absolutely. Alex's coldness was disturbing. Whether Ceolag overlooked this or did so deliberately remains a mystery to me.

I have to admit that I cried during the scene where Mc tells Elea everything.
I was hit by a steamtrain during the funeral... There must have been pepper spray in that steam though.

The revelation to Elea was more like a shot of endorphines to me.. that look.. and then "YOU MET NIMUE?!" :D

Another really great though not overly emotional scence is the sparring match against Nightingale. I was grinning from ear to ear. I love games where the dev takes some effort to create humorous parts instead of dropping some cheap one-liners. I just wish some other key scenes would get the same attention, like Medb telling A. about Findabair's death. The only time he really mourns is back on Earth at the promenade looking out at the sea.

OK, finally got through all my saves (Kaija took me few days to get through).

Overall, this chapter felt like calm before storm.
Not even sure what to add really, other than I didn't expect Sayo to actually be evil!

Finally got chance to tell Elea everything, thank heavens!
For Fiona, guess her "real" story will happen next chapter.

As usual, Kaiju monster got most wholesome scenes, though a few kisses here and there wouldn't be out of place. Ceo really not giving romance any scenes in act 7.

What else...oh yeah, loved even more chances to be childishly angry at parents. This time there genuinely was no need for confrontational responses, still took them all. At this point MC is just acting like a child, but heh, whatever.

And by damn heavens, did Ceolag take away my chances of breaking up with Kaija by romancing Medb in Neverwhere by not allowing me to go there if on Kaija route? That's just rude!

Bit of "negative", Kate scene felt completely out of place and forced, so even though I like her as side girl, whole scene felt like a big nothing honestly.

Final thought for next chapter or later, I really hope Ceolag gives Elea a mind of her own when it comes to Linnae. While yes, my MC would recommend (if asked) not forgiving her mother, I'd like her to have her own opinion and choice.

what Kate scene are you refering ? seems that I missed content.
And did you achieve going back to Alfheimr ?

Kate move scene, you needed to prefer her over Kari in last chapter and agree to help her move house.
And yes, but going to Alfheimr is only possible on non-Kaija, non-Elea, non-Fiona route :)

Damn I missed content then thanks a lot ! time to play my MHMC save I guess
hopefully we got a bit more information about Mac true Identity !
For what it's worth, fairly sure even that is restricted to non-girls path.

The only route where it did trigger for me is on Medb only route, others had different scene play out, and, VERY minor spoiler, MC mentioning he missed Kate moving.

In Linnae's defense, we can say that it wasn't she who imposed secrecy on the Templars' lives and activities, but Elea's father who took her away and, although he knew everything, never wanted to tell. He made Linnae promise not to get close to them and cut off contact to the point where she didn't even know about her ex-husband's death.

I love that you made the list of routes to avoid instead of mentioning Medb's route XD
Let's be honest: Medb's route might as well not exist so far. She got nothing.
Hell, even during MCs first visit to Alfar city, she got basically nothing while Fin (my love :cry:) got all the attention.

Not taking it away from her, and like I said, I'd prefer dev makes that choice for us, but not being close doesn't mean "know nothing". She was surprised to her Elea's father is dead, so she really stayed away.
Personally, I'd never forgive something like abandoning a child for work, but again, would prefer that one be Elea (dev) choice, rather than another player input option.

Fiona actually does reveal who she is?! i'm not sure how her story might close up to the templars but I would assume as an irish goddess she might be relatively welcomed in Àlfheimr. At least she won't be attacked or thrown out.

Let's be honest: Medb's route might as well not exist so far. She got nothing.
She got a lot, she totally came around regarding Alex, dropped her hate and I'd even go so far to say she considers him a personal friend. That shows when she says goodbye at the outpost. What more could we expect, her daughter has just got killed. But Titania said she wanted a new connection so there isn't much left to imagination what that might mean... A human-elf child? ^^


This spoiler stuff is silly, btw.

Yes, she revealed her nature, powers, her primordial home and her true aspect. I think she is already known by the Alfar as in her route she follows MC and the templars to the meeting point in Neverwhere and Medb spots her and complains to the templars that it was not necessary bringing her (she didn't know Fiona came by herself), but wouldn't comment any further. I think Alfar know her and giving her powers, she could trespass their realm and no one would dare to oppose.

Yep, but nothing actually happened. As in, she told us she'll confront her past and family (or some such, can't remember well), and yes, she told us her past, but nothing else happened with her.
That's kind of why I called this chapter calm before storm.

She got a lot, she totally came around regarding Alex, dropped her hate and I'd even go so far to say she considers him a personal friend. That shows when she says goodbye at the outpost.

None of that is romantic stuff, which is why I said there's no real "Medb route" so far. Sure, we got some background into her life, but it's absolutely miniscule compared to other girls.
Minor edit: Put differently, MC and Medb have shared 0 scenes so far that could even hint at romantic feeling or some sort of chemistry between the two.

Agreed, but not sure if Steam release came out yet, so just being nice for now I guess :)
