Leaving aside that Alia's lack of sophistication may be a plot device, it's a matter of perspective, right? We've been watching her dumb ass for over a year, but only about a week or two has gone by in the game's universe since she's been let out of her coop.The big difference is those girls were brainwashed and still acted only moved due to the serum. Alia is just dumb, serum or not and her expressions don't help for sure. She's the biggest turnoff for me. I don't want to imagine her thoughts about pregnancy..
Maybe I missread it, but I'm sure in the latest announcement NLT wrote about a secret to find in the actual update. Is there any or was just a teaser?
I gather the secret to which you allude is the Talisman of the Gods. If you haven't found it, there are spoilers all over the board. I'll just say that it's somewhere you've been able to go for a while but, before this update, lacked the necessary tool to open.
