Gimme your questions about game, process or writing in general. Now only a little more than a month left at work before I start writing full time, it is hectic, but the countdown has started.

It's going to be nice, I feel so filled with Revelations ideas.

Hello! I hope your last month at work won't be too bad and goes smoothly for you! Will Steel/Sidestep/Sky-Raider poly be possible? What kind of patients are the ROs? We all know Ortega can't sit still and will ditch diagnostics/check-ups, but what about everyone else? Out of curiosity, what was Danny and Chen doing during the casino arc? Ortega being an epileptic makes them resistant to telepathy. I'm wondering if, after you accidentally make Chen have a seizure when you are dethreading him, does Chen develop some resistance towards telepathy? Or does it leave him more vulnerable to future attacks/intrusions?

Hello!! I hope you're doing well ^^ Thank you for all your work!! does the fact that Regina and re-gene both sound the same intentional or just a coincidence??? what value would chen’s heartbreak scar be, in rebirth and retribution? is it well documented or at least well known that psychics can occur naturally? what is mortum's thoughts and opinions on the heartbreak experiment, and the heartbreak incident? do they know it was a boost incident and not an attack? is sentinel currently threaded by hollow ground? how extensively was sentinel threaded in the past and/or present? what does the rat king and spoon think of each other? who is argent's physical therapist? does daniel and sentinel still talk, since sentinel mentored him? what's skyraider and vera's thoughts on each of the rangers? i'm especially curious to know if skyraider is aware if steel is chen! in what ways did being stuck in mortum's gun affect the catastrofiend? did anything change with it mentally, or abilitywise? from the rumors about the catastrofiend in the urban legends of los diablos, how does it actually "disappear into thin air?" is it just extra sneaky or is there something more to it? an ability? does the catastrofiend have a “passenger” in its mind too? what kind of different planes/dimensions exist?? (the void cages/paths, the plane sidestep moves through when switching bodies, etc) did ortega know that anathema grew up with the Green Sky? what's the actual name of the heartbreak experiment? what does the farm call it, or its name in official records? does mortum know anyone/have contacts in the special directive or the farm? does mortum know the farm exists?

-During the flashback dream you get if no one breaks you out of Ranger HQ on the guilty path, Regina consistently misgenders a trans Sidestep (the shit cherry on top of a terrible cake). In this case does she think Sidestep's transition was just done as a disguise? Will she be surprised to find out that Sidestep has kept up with their transition since the second escape?

Will Sidestep get the chance to tell their therapist they are a telepath/ get medicated? Since Ashfall often lost his clothes on missions, did he ever meet up with Sidestep after to borrow some of their many many layers? Or did he just have stashes dotted about the city just in case? When did the Rangers move bases compared to HB/ Sentinel retiring? The thought of him losing a genderqueer Step and Themmie and then immediately moving to a base without gender neutral changing rooms hurts my heart😭

I'm not sure if this has been asked before: does any of the ROs snore? Is Sidestep bothered by it? If not, how do they deal with it?

Do you prefer writing in English or your own language? What are some differences you like or differences you find annoying?

Since some boosts exist without the use of boost drugs, are there some who have decided to use them to gain more powers and lived? What is the maximum amount a person has ever been boosted/taken the drugs and survived? Is such a person like that well known/have been documented?

Of all the characters who have been looking into the bigger things happen ring behind the scenes (Vernon, Ortega, Steel, ect) who has the closest idea of what’s really going on or the most complete picture/puzzle pieces? There are groups like the Green Sky, who believe boosting is the future of human evolution; but the boost drug is known to cause fertility issues. How they reconcile this fact with their ideology? Given Ortega seems to have a pretty poor view on how therapy has gone for them in the past why are they so insistent on Sidestep going? Do they actually think it will help Step; or is it a desperation thing or Ortega having ulterior motives? You’ve told us what presentability stats HG has, if Step has matching presentability and chooses to go the the meet in what they usually wear, what is the HG trios thoughts on Step dressing like HG on top of Step already looking like HG? If we chose to break all contact with Ortega as the puppet or did not have any kind of relationship as the puppet with them is Ortega still interested in that line of investigation if Sidestep is already revealed as the villain? And if Sidestep is revealed as the villain would any of the Rangers use/slip up and use their real name instead of the villain persona name? Would their view/relationship with the villain effect this; like if sympathetic would they use their name to try and get through to them or if they hated the villain would they not care about keeping the secret?

Do any of the characters figure out that Sidestep's tool set includes nanovores and if so what is their reaction to it?

Anonymous

Do the rangers know ASL? Does Daniel drink those energy drinks? Will we get scenes/choices revolving around Steps farm days? Regene/Handler interactions and their communication systems fascinate me. How amused/How would the RO's react if they noticed Sidestep willing away fans, waitresses, etc. because they don't want interruptions on their time/conversation? If Sidestep could read Ortegas mind how often would they catch them thinking things like Daniel does? Embarrassingly enamored thoughts or even things more spicy?

1. Do the rangers know where the MC lives and if so, when and what were their reactions. 2. In one of many endings, everybody(except Steel) believes the MC to be a regene. After using the machine, will we be able to trick everybody that the regene was just that, Another regene? 3. Will there be a point where the MC will eventually be able to control both their and puppets body? 4. Pretending to be "powerless" is by far my favorite choice I've seen. Will the MC go all the way with the lie? If not, will we be able to "awaken" our powers? 5. When starting a story, do u know the ending or make it up as you go along? Thanks for taking your time off your busy schedule and answering our questions. Love your writing style, love how realistic their reactions are to the MCs choices( you are so evil and i love it). Love how the story story's progressing but can we have some more "emotional damage" sprinked in? Its just soo good how you do it. Wishing you the best and whatever you put out will no doubt be a banger.

Crow of Steel

Could sidestep use their abilities to make foes see illusions,like they go right but who ever their fighting see's them go left?

keltena

Does Daniel like birds, given his history of naming himself after them? How does he feel about birdwatching?

If the MC fainted when Herald kidnapped them off the street, does Herald tell the rest of the rangers what happened? If MC is later revealed as the villain, will the fainting be taken into consideration when discussing ways to take them down? If MC tells Ortega about numbers, will numbers be used by the Rangers against a known telepath villain? Will it be possible to kidnap Spoon? What's Regina's view on Regene Liberation? Also, what’s Regina’s views on the Rangers in general? Is she a fan of any of them? Does she hate one of them more than the others? If the MC got subtle manipulations stat up to 100 or the high 90s, would they be able to do what Hollow Ground does with their threads? Or would it be even more powerful than that? Is Steels mind so hard to read/influence only because MC thinks it is? In the Hoots scene, if the MC has an alcohol vice, Ortega brings up how someone was concerned MC was drinking too much. Sidestep assumed it was Steel, but was it really? I had my suspicions it was Herald. If Steel has high clue and MC killed blaze, the receptionist says she didn’t hear good things from Steel about MC and that she thought they were there to apologize. What did Steel say? Is becoming a warlord/conqueror of Los Diablos and the greater part of the Free Western Territories in the cards for the future of some steps? If the puppet crashes, there’s a choice to place evidence that suggests the puppet was keeping an eye on the MC & tracking their movements for nefarious reasons. Does this also suggest to Ortega that puppet only got closer to them to get to the MC? And if it does, does it cast in a new light the questions he got asked about the MC by puppet if they went to the gala together? If we kidnap the MC as puppet and are romancing Ortega as both puppet & MC, is it possible to play the crazy lover card as the puppet? Like, the puppet saying that they wanted MC out of the way so they could be with Ortega? That would be hilarious. Who would win in a fight between Shroud and the Catastrofiend? Who was decanted first, Shroud or Sidestep? Could Shroud have won against Anathema back in the day? If still not revealed as a villain by next game, will Herald get a clue variable like the rest of the rangers?

I remember what I wanted to ask!! Will we be able to visit our (and anathemas) grave at some point? thank you <3

sorry to bud in but I'm pretty sure we can do that to Argent in book one :)!

You have said multiple times that having high telepathy stats may not be the best thing. Since Step can use the puppet's abilities, does this mean a certain someone that's piloting Step's body could potentially become an alpha telepath? Can or has Ortega given themselves a seizure from their own lightning? If it looks like actual lightning when they use it. Where was Ortega when Argent got possessed in Rebirth? Since only Steel and Herald showed up to stop her. Will we get to interact with the main cast more as the puppet if Step gets Puppetstuck in the next game? Not in the puppet crash version, I mean the broke Step out of the hospital successfully without getting caught version. And then, my final question that I probably already know the answer to but I just gotta ask. Were the autopsy photos Chen found for sure Sidestep or was it Hollow Ground's sibling?

Are there any known boosts with a 'future sight' power?

Did Ortega really send the LDPD to harass Vernon after the funeral fiasco, as Mia suspects?

keltena

Every time I get one of the hospital breakout scenes, I can't help but imagine the chaos if every eligible candidate for it showed up at once. Obviously that can't actually happen in game, but how do you think the Rangers would react if they walked in on a teammate staging the same breakout? Or Dr. Mortum and Sky-Raider, if he walked in on the same thing? It's really interesting to me that Chen seems to almost involuntarily blurt out "Hollow Ground is a myth" whenever the subject is raised, even *while discussing* his suspicions that he's been mind controlled to believe that. Do the threads that make him believe HG is a myth also compel him to correct others on the subject, or is the belief simply so strong that he can't stand to let the "myth" go unchallenged when it comes up?

Allie

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but if Sidestep wasn't revealed as a villain at the end of Retribution, will they automatically be in a future book? Or is it possible to play through the series without ever getting revealed as a villain?

I think Malin mentioned in other qna that it is possible go through the game without anyone finding you're the villain

Anonymous

has chen ever worked with villains before?

Anonymous

Going off from an answer in a previous QnA: theoretically, would it be possible to defeat/kill Argent by causing so much damage too many of her nanos die off and her body can no longer be sustained? Would that "death by a thousand cuts" kind of strategy be viable, or is the nanos ability to "regenerate" themselves too fast for that to work?

Anonymous

In endings where Sidestep isn't able to don their villain suit, would the time they have to spend away from the headlines possibly lower their reputation/fanclub? :(

keltena

Do residents of Los Diablos pay any taxes, local or federal, or is the West really entirely tax-free? What about the Rangers, since they're employed by the federal government? How did Sidestep make a living back in the day? Did they steal or have a side job of some sort, or did they have a way of earning money as a vigilante? So when *is* Ortega going to take the puppet on that kitten-rescuing date, anyway? Or did that happen off-screen at some point? (I'm mostly joking—but only mostly.)

Syksy

What is HG’s opinion on Mayor Alvarez? What do Vera and Sky-Raider perceive as their best/worst quality? How would Nocturne react or feel if Mayor Alvarez was killed or reputation destroyed by Sidestep? Is there potential for some kind of rivalry or tension to arise between anarchist Sidestep and Nocturne, depending on the plans both of them have? How would Jake have felt about arriving to Los Diablos during the tumultuous times of Nanosurge, Void, and Heartbreak? Has Vera ever met Jake or Nocturne or does she solely deal with HG? Does she meet with HG in person or does she use her pigeons as messenger birds? How heavily is Vera red-threaded? Bit silly question, but has HG ever tried to red-thread one of Vera’s pigeons? How capable fighters are Vera and Sky-Raider? Are they fighters, tacticians or preferring to avoid fighting part? What was your process when it came to developing the Fallen Hero’s plot? How did you decide/figure out what characters you wanted to use and explore in the story? Did all of the characters form clearly or were there any characters that needed to develop/figure out further before deciding to write them into the story? What was your process to figuring out what the characters in the story want? What duties does the Marshal of the Rangers have? Did HG plan for Sentinel to become the Marshal of the Rangers? What did HG and Nocturne think when Ortega retired as the Marshal of the Rangers? What were their reactions when they returned as a member of the Rangers? What about the Long Beach Heroes/Skybright made Lady Argent a fan of them? I've been listening to Magnus Archives and can't help but to be curious and wondered if have listened the podcast: Which Entity's avatar each of the Rangers, Dr. Mortum, HG, Nocturne, and/or Jake would be?

BigFreckledEars

Oh my god, a few more questions, I'm so sorry If Argent were to swish her hair back with her hand or like rub her arm, would it make noise? Like a knife sliding on a sharpener? Was the Special Directive waiting for Heartbreak at the site and just so happened to get Sidestep instead? Which power would be better prepared against someone that had super speed, telepathy or precognition? ALSO, I'm putting on my tinfoil hat this time. I think I remember you saying that the Farm doesn't know about the gates so does that mean that the Heartbreak experiment was done by a different organization/group of people completely separate from the Farm??? And Regina was a part of it??
