I enjoy graphic programs lately, couldn't resist making some header xd

I thought a thread like this would be a nice place for FH fans. The tags on Tumblr can be a bit... messy, and CoG forum. Well, I'm not fond of it and probably many people are not either ;> I'll start with one topic: which villain career is your favourite and how do you imagine the future of your Sidestep? Could they give up their original goal? Do you see a happy ending for them?

I prefer the thief career. I just wanna steal a fortune, flee the country and live somewhere in luxury. Also, being just a thief, Sidestep can (hopefully) avoid antagonising powerful people like HG or the mayor too much, unlike in anarchist or crime boss routes.

Quite the opposite of my Sidestep 🤣 He's going to poke all the powerful people, although the motives and plans for the future depend on the version, because I have three: anarchist who wants justice, anarchist who is a psycho and will probably end up as Heartbreak 2.0 and a mob boss with ambitions to take over the entire west coast... 😎👑

I guess your MC won't have a peaceful life until they at least defeat the Farm
: D Plus there's some looming threat that players don't know about but Sidestep and Steel seem to be aware of. Sidestep in Revelations also wanted to talk about it with Hollow Ground (if you're allies).

I just don't see how MC realistically could defeat the Farm which is a powerful government agency. Though I guess that's what we'll end up doing regardless in the future books.

Eh, the Farm is a research facility. That means, filled with eggheads scientists eho wouldn't be a threat to a powerful boost like Sidestep. The security system may be a bigger problem...

Maybe the other Re-Genes will turn out to be our allies? I doubt they'll defend the people who own them.. Once they understand that they don't have to be afraid of the Farmers anymore.

Well, the Farm produces super-soldiers for the US, so to go against them is to go against the whole government. It is certainly more than just a research facility and seems to have many spies around which is why Sidestep is so paranoid.

I mean, these super soldiers might rebel when they find out there's Re-Gene fighting against the Farm, the government.
They're not mindless automatons.

Considering how unconcerned Re-Genes were with pain and everything else during the fight with Psychopathor, I think the Farm is either drugging or brainwashing Re-Genes. They would be stupid not to create a way to control such powerful assets. I think the only way Sidestep could probably defeat the Farm is by revealing their shady practices to the public and sparking the outcry against the government. Though that of course won't be easy either.

They have a pain gate somewhere in their neck. Sidestep mentioned this thing once, that they had it too. When it comes to behavior, they have to be absolutely obedient, otherwise their personality would be wiped or they would be recycled.
I don't think they are brainwashed - they have developed their own language, have relationships etc. They just have to be very discreet about it.

Probably Sidestep will be able to do it eventually, especially if you choose the "show the world the truth" motive. I'm just afraid that people won't care enough :v

For those who entered villain name instead of choosing one of the given options or "Sidestep" - What is your MC's villain name?

Ayo wait what--

We can name our villain persona "Sidestep"?! Not saying we can't but is there a special text for that or smth??

...also I'm not really one of those who can think of a halfway-decent custom name. I find the given name "Saboteur" suits my villain name just fine; they both start with 'S', that's it.

There is. Ortega and Herald bristle at the thought that new villain stole the name of their precious Sidestep xD It's pretty funny, but my MC doesn't use this name. It didn't fit his personality and desire to build a completely new identity for himself.

Saboteur is great. What role did you choose for them?

Welp I might as well plan a pure Sidestep playthrough for the next few days!!

Saboteur, in my case, is an anarchist fighting against the system, but wouldn't kill at all (although major injuries are fine a la Batman). Seemed like the closest thing to an anti-hero that I can think of; I do not have the guts to play a pure villain at all so no killing, convince people of the inherent corruption, and play nice w/ my Ranger friends (and the flying bf).

I had a recent playthrough where the media named my villain "Puppeteer" and I immediately used mass telepathy to change it back on Retribution. I think that's how attached I was to my initial name.

The author is going to do update for Rebirth so this would probably be a good time to read it again. Nothing big changes, but it's always interesting to see small changes and things that have been added. I'm not sure when this update is supposed to come, tho (considering he's been mentioning it for months now).

One of my three versions of the villain is an anarchist fighting against the system and I like to think of him as the least bad... Even though he is a killer like two others (kills heroes & government people).

Generally, I enjoy playing a very wicked Sidestep. In another version, he is an anarchist but in psychopath with anger as motivation. It will be very angsty when the Rangers find out who is hiding behind the armour 😈
