In the hectic preparation for easter I forgot to put on the questions post! Oooops. Well, better late than never, it is still March for a little while longer.

Question 1: Does Chen like or connect to Julia or Ricardo more? He desires something deeper with Ricardo, but might he push him away because he knows he can't have it? Since his relationship with Julia is exactly as deep and meaningful as he wants it to be is it easier to be close to her? Question 2: From most to least worrisome how do the Rangers' issues rank in Chen's mind: Ortega's obsessions, Herald's inexperience, Argent's suspiciousness, Sidestep's... everything. How does he rank his own issues? Question 3: In universes where Julia never had a queer relationship with Sidestep did that affect why Argent would brush off her flirting? Question 4: When the Rat King does things like keeping Jake and Nocturne asleep are they doing that with their own power, or are they using Sidestep's power? Question 5: Is Sidestep breaking into their house the most danger HG has ever been in? Question 6: Did Deadeye know the youngest sibling? Question 7: Would anyone other than HG and Ortega have ever been able to recognize who Sidestep actually was? Question 8: Will there be a major difference in the confrontation with HG if Sidestep already knows who Ortega suspected they were? Question 9: Were HG's sibling's stats more blue or orange? Question 10: How does Jake rank compared to other threats Sidestep has faced? Question 11: Was Argent actually in any danger from Shroud? Question 12: Can Sidestep just continue to refer to Lord Ember as Emberfall?

My question is about Regene AI chips. Is a Regene the chip or the body? Could it be possible to take their AI chip out of their Regene body and place it into a new one without the tattoos? Would they survive the process and stay the same person or be “reset?” Would their powers come with them?

1) Genetically, would regenes be considered another species of human or something else? If the boost drug weren't involved but everything else remained the same in the creation process, could a human and regene have viable offspring? 2) If Step were to pull one of those classic "we could rule this city together" move with their RO, which them would be most likely to come around to the idea? 3) Will we learn what Vernon said at Step's/Anathema's funeral? And was he actually right? 4) In the interest of find outing how catastrophic of an ending there could be... is a global extinction event in the cards? 5) Would you say any of the Hero ROs are more ruthless than the villain ROs? 6) Likely-hood of Ortega giving a romanced Step a petname based on spanish? 7) Since we can see Step finding out that Ortega could still want them even if they're a regene, how quick could it be before Step starts feeling an even greater sense of attachment there? 8) Complicated question, but for Steps who come to be considered HG's family, what would the trio's thoughts be on a Step who dislikes how Nocturne allows a telepath to meddle with her mind? In a lack of respect sort of sense, like "you would have made a good regene?"

FishSticks

1: If Sidestep was in someone else's body and HG tried to thread them, would the thread be in Step's mind or would it remain in the puppets? 2: would Chen take the time to teach a fighter Sidestep how to play chess? Esp if they asked/are dating? 3: would the Rangers find it unsettling if Sidestep kinda laughed/giggled when in high tense situations out of reflex? 4: would Dr Mortum appreciate it if puppet/step often came over to their lab just to feed them? home-cooked meals and other things. How do they feel when it stops due to revealing themselves? 5: how does Ortega feel about a Step who's romancing/befriending Chen? Especially one with high suspicions. 6: Should Mortum be worried about the Rangers after betraying Sidestep? 7: If you tell HG you were Sidestep, does HG jump to the conclusion that Ortega was using Sidestep in some way? 8: In Mortum's betrayal/kidnapped route, will there be an option to be afraid of Mortum? How would Mortum take it? 9: does Chen enjoy being Sidestep's mattress? Very important questions being asked right here

HG’s biggest challenge was the Void cult… if the cult had waged war against them back then, who would win? The Rangers felt a bit nervous with a void eyes sidestep when they first turned green, then relaxed when it turned out to be just another scar. What would they have done if they started changing? Especially for the worse? How would Nazar have taken it? Is Dread Reactor capable of emotions? Does it ever get lonely? Does it have preferred pronouns? What do Skybright and Cavalier think of each other? Does the other get worried about their opponent coming back? If Sidestep’s mental instability started getting catastrophically worse, would animals be affected? Would Rat King be able to help? Or are they not at that level yet? Can Sidestep take someone’s ‘mental body/soul’ and trap them in a body of an animal? If Sidestep were to try and imprison Jake’s ‘soul’ in their mind, separating him from his body, would he be able to escape? Would he have survived getting caught in Dr. Mortum’s gun?

When we mindmeld with Argent to talk, it mentions "you're not sure why your subconscious has decided that the place where you faced down the nanovore swarm is the best arena for your talk," is this because our subconscious somehow recognized what Argent is?

Gorogs

(As always sorry if these have been asked before, and thank you for the Q&A! Hope you're having a nice start of spring) If Shroud consumes the mind of a boosted person, does that have any difference from a non-boosted person (in "taste", in the amount of strength she regains, or perhaps with any side effects)? If yes, is there any type of boost that would be dangerous/toxic/harmful to Shroud? As in, she could get hurt while consuming it? If yes, is Shroud aware of such a thing?

In another Q&A (I think the one before this) you mentioned that Anathema wouldn’t leave much at a crime scene. What does that mean? Why did you word it that way? *panic* Maybe it’s due to the conditions of my game. But at the end of Retribution: when an innocent and broken leg sidestep is deciding where to go Ortega seems “relieved”. Pretty much not matter what I choose. And this is with multiple sidesteps. Why is that? If you can reveal it, what was going through Ortega’s head when a friend sidestep randomly admits to being in love with them? They seem take it pretty well but I’d love to be a fly in their head at that moment. You may not be able to answer this but: is the location of our base more than just fun moments (like the mob crew talking about the store employee) and flavor text or will there be consequences to that choice of base.

hii! recent patron here, love your work!! :) bit of a simple question (that you mightve already answered) because i'm still catching up with the extensive amount of lore i missed in my playthroughs: what are the RO's general music tastes, assuming that our music carries over to the fallen hero world?

KingDingDongofPooPooMountain

Hello! I was thinking on last month's Q&A question about Chen having access to retired military codes and contact with that mystery party to help launch the airstrike. It got me thinking two things: 1) What kind of security clearance did Chen even have since he was former Task Force Arc/Arc 4? There was a question many Q&As ago about what kind of info on regenes is available to a high security clearance, and I wonder if Chen, being an ex-Green Beret and on a super secret task force, had clearance high enough to know about things like Re-genes.. 2) It was answered in another Q&A that Chen has some friends in the military who, through their contacts, helped get him Sidestep's autopsy photos. Are some of these same friends Arc 4?

I heard from somewhere that some telepaths often moved out into the countryside due to the city’s ‘noisiness’ amplified with their powers. Is that true? Or is it a convenient excuse to explain the missing telepaths?

Haley Derks

When Ortega talks about a potential pre-Heartbreak Sidestep vs Lady Argent fight they say Sidestep could do a lot more than just keep away from Angie. How well do they think Sidestep would do in that fight, and how right are they about that estimate?

All Blue

If Jake were to ingest poison and turn ghost, would it still course through his system?

billy

How Eden(maybe ace)think of sidestep?What choice we made will change the ways of how puppet think of sidestep?

billy

I see there will be more details of how ratkings react to sidestep in their mind.Will sidestep see they as friends?Or even more as family?

billy

What will other react when they know of how sidestep control ratkings and nanovores?Main Ros and the good doctor,it will be impressive.

billy

Will there a chance sidestep become the good doctor lover without using puppet in book 3?

Arcane

Do you have a general idea of the amount of endings the series will have? I’m sure it changes as you write, just curious if you have a number in mind. And does it get overwhelming trying to keep track of all the branches in the story? I don’t think if read another IF that has anywhere near the amount of paths FH has! Not really QnA related, but will there be a new discord link in the future? It seems like the last one expired

minjostens

Do you have an estimate of how many more in-game years will be covered in the story? So far we're at one, going on two soon with Ortega's 2nd birthday after our comeback (?)

Ghosty

What kind of mindscapes would Armadillo, Vera and Sky-Pirate have? Did Shroud escape first to Los Diablos or San Francisco? And depending on which one, what drove her to go to that city? How did Arde end up Los Diablos? Were they aware of how many boosts were living there and that could help them blend in little bit better? Are the re-genes aware of where their tracker is in their body? Considering Arde has 4 arms it would take a while to find it.

Tweedle Dee

Hi! I need some aid, what are gates? And has their importance been stated yet? Can they be closed? Also, what are the scars? And how do those operate? Are there scars people haven't discussed yet, or can any of the ROs/other characters get them in the middle of the story?

FishSticks

What's running through Chen's head if Sidestep doesn't forgive them after learning he went looking but didn't continue? While on the topic is the autopsy scar noticeable? If you're trans, is Ortega still in the dark about this? Or is Sidestep's medical records strictly for them only (considering they technically have no rights)

Anonymous

Does Mortum know how to shoot if not is it possible for Sidestep to teach them?

TwistedChai

Seems like the type of question(s) that may have been asked, but just finished reading some demos, figured I’d asked. Not sure how much can be said… 1) I think I read on here, somewhere, that HG is not really aware of the SD/Re-genes. They seem ready to pull out their own conspiracy board with a Sidestep they connect with and seem hopeful that their sibling is alive. How much would knowing Sidestep is a re-genes affect that desire to bond (if HG figures out/knows what that means), especially with an interested Sidestep? Are they just like “close enough”? 2) In the preview where we are at the ranch, Sidestep notices that Ortega is staring at their tattoos. This may be addressed in the game, but I am curious what Ortega may have been thinking in that moment. Also, for romanced Ortegas who have a more physical relationship with Sidestep, how that might affect future situations (or at least the options we are given).

FishSticks

If Sidestep ends up having a seizure in Chen's apartment, what was really the first reaction on Chen's part? Worry? Fear? "Aw fuck here we go again"? What would he have done if Sidestep didn't wake up soon after? Hospital? Herald route and start slapping to wake them up?

minjostens

Is the reason Ortega is "coping" that Sidestep might not actually be a Re-Gene that they don't want Sidestep to be one, or is it just disbelief over such a shocking revelation?

madalenga

I just got the Ranch ending where Chen is along for the drive and he talks about the scanner in his arm. I think there was a Q&A that said Step's AI chip has potentially already been picked up by a scanning device, was it by Chen's?? 👀 👀

SugarMonster

Would a metal detector detect the AI Chip?

All Blue

Nocturne has no regrets? None? Not even failing to tell Jake the truth of the threads before they became romantically involved? Or any time afterwards she and HG kept lying to him? On a similar note, can we threaten to tell Jake ourselves if they don’t? And/or possibly actually go through with the threat?

DarkFire

If Sidestep or another telepath were to take talodine to suppress their telepathy, what would that feel like for them? Would there be a noticeable absence or empty head feeling?

Zieig

If you take into account that the stats are just to make the game easier to understand, then is a Sedestep with 80 of any of the telepathy stats in the 3rd or 4th book more powerful than a Sidestep with 80 in the first books?

TwistedChai

More questions as I continue my deep dive into all the background content available…Apologies if it has been addressed. 1) In a snippet you wrote previously, Julia drags Anathema to San Francisco, and she ends up in a bar fight. Anathema says it’s because Julia is feeling restless after an argument with Sidestep. Anathema implies those two are “bad for each other,” as if this happens often (arguing and then making out I am assuming). How often and what types of arguments trigger this restlessness in Ortega? Also, how often did Anathema basically feel like the third wheel to it? 2) Not sure how I want to word this question or what I am trying to connect. What is going with the eye-clawing that people experience concerning HB? It can possibly happen again with a “Broken” Sidestep in the hospital. Any correlation with why HB shares an eye color with Sidestep? 3) I keep seeing little tidbits about the Re-gene language. Is there a specific post that details this (off the top of your head at least)? I’m curious about if the Farm employees know about the language, if they can interpret it, and if they do know about it/can interpret it, do they allow it. Also, do re-genes teach it to each other or just sort of pick It up? 4) Can you explain the Sidestep Scar Ortega has? Another topic I sometimes see but haven’t come across a specific post yet. I know they gained one from the HB event, but how is it actually affecting Ortega? As in, what behaviors specifically or how is it acting as a catalyst to a previous behavior? Is it their hallucinations? Guess I am trying to source out what is regular grieving vs. what is being enhanced. I am assuming Chen also has a HB scar that is influencing him in some way…

billy

What will Jake feel for HG since we cut the red string in demo 4.2?

abhorash

HG protecting Step in the new demo has made me curious does that protective steak extend beyond Sibiling-Step? Like if in the new demo Step had broken Nocturne's or Jake's bones to get payback instead of hurting HG would that have upset them more? And in that same train of thought would Step using Nocturne or Jake as a hostage and threatening to or actually hurting them, have changed how much control over their emotions and composure HG had?

TwistedChai

Back again… So, I enjoy a hesitating Thiefstep that is looking for life, love, and liberty in all the wrong places. I know in certain routes, you can ask Mia to help you donate some money, quietly, to charity. Is that a one-off, or will we get to do some more Robin Hood-ese things in the future? Also, does anyone ever find out? I imagine its just a small touch for character, but never hurts to ask.

All Blue

Considering the Slasher almost took Blaze’s leg… how do they handle pyrokinetics in general? I heard that the loss of lower limbs can increase risk of heat illness. Does the Slasher focus on dismembering their fire boost victims to make them suffer from their own powers? Encourage significant blood loss to mess with thermoregulation?

woah dude

In an innocent step crash route, in which step lives with chen while recovering… how does chen feel about that? does he find comfort in the domesticity, or stress about it all? especially if he knows step is the villain?
