Nah go ahead and vote. Chapter 1 can't start until we get context either way so some actions are needed.
Though to be fair im probably gonna take a day break since, fucking christ this update... Its literally what I have been doing since last update, almost done nothing else than that.
Also, a thing to talk about: What we technically got to here, is what I call "Route B". There is a gigantic set of things that can happen based on what you all choose to do, and your actions this time landed you in Route B.
Let me describe the Routes of the prologue:
Route A: You spawn, get out of the room, follow Briggs, encounter Eishalon on bridge, follow Briggs still, go down, follow through cave, Ordgrown Village, meet Shrub + Villagers, talk to Briggs and presto Route A is complete.
Route B: spawn. If you die at any point in Route A, Route B activates. Spawn. Encounter Eishalon. Quickly Eishalon is destroyed by Shrub. Talk to Shrub. Shrub goes away. Go to bridge, Encounter Red Robots, go to end of bridge, Shrub comes back with Biggs.
Also, there is the unofficial Route C: Die 3 times along these routes, and there will be no enemies left as it will have become night time. Based on if you met Biggs or Shrub, certain events change but in the end "Route C" leads to the ending of Route B, which is why it's unofficial.
Now, all of those are rather puzzling plots of potentials but, here's where it gets fun: You guys literally chose the hardest path. Still in A, you go back to Red and Red turns Eishalon and you fight them. I consider Eishalon Red the Bonus Boss of the Prologue. Well done on taking a boss fight as the first battle! After that you go out and could have encountered the bridge Eishalon, which would be weaker than the red robots, yet you fell to the car and got clicked into Route B, which's Tutorial fight is actually worse than Route A's.
I am just, amazed at this path taken.
If you had died before going back to Red, after spawning the room would be turn asunder but the respawn point would still be okay and Shrub would be killing Red as you spawn! Like, all of these events fit together in various ways yet you took the hardest path! Inconcievable!
Oh, and if you can, please don't think about "Will this get me into a different route" after this. Only the Prologue was this simple with it and it's counter productive to consider all of the possibilities like this. Know that im not forcing actions to happen. I have just set up a lot of cones, and it's up to you guys to knock down the ones you find.
We did it guys. We finished the Prologue... Jegus chriminy. I am so proud of all of you, and, almost worst of all, I am proud of myself for some reason... Gosh...
Also, holy fuck I could use some positive words of encouragement right now, some interesting thoughts, some dialogue, anything. I am so worn out and any kind of positive write-up will help.
