Explore 2 times has the same mechanic, but only differs in the time/scene in which the player gets caught!
The key for obedient vs. loyal is to voluntarly stay after the delusion test and skip the brainwashing scene by that way~
Oh okay, that's cool! I was so sure you were brainwashed without a choice if you explore 3 times, but I did play it late when I was super sleepy and only tried that route once, so I'm gonna have to try it again! :)
Also I didn't know that there's a difference scene if you kept the notes if you don't tell the truth during the Apprentice, so I'm going to have to try that, that sounds really cool! So that means he really doesn't find out if you burn the notes, so that answers my questions about that, haha! :)
Oh yeah, I remember the differences in being caught in 2x and 3x, I just didn't know that in 3x you can still end up with Loyal end, I thought that you always get brainwashed, haha! :)
And by the second paragraph I meant that I didn't know that Dottore finds out you're a spy if you kept the notes and don't tell him the truth in the Apprentice ending, as I always tried it only while burning the notes. :) I haven't had the chance to replay it yet, so I'm looking forward to seeing the 3x Loyal Ending and the Obedient "Apprentice" ending! :)
Oh, since you said that if you don't burn the notes but keep the truth during the Apprentice ending, you get the Obedient ending instead, I thought there is an extra scene where he catches you and then it continues on that route? So you get switched onto the Obedient route, but you get to see a scene where he catches you. :D
Oh it's fine, don't worry! :) I just played through the game recently, and I tried getting both ends. That's really cool that he actually catches you if you didn't burn the notes! And you were right, I replayed the 3x explore and he really doesn't brainwash you right away! I think it's cause I played that scene at 3am the first time I played it, so I mistook it and thought he put you in the chair right away, haha!
I normally usually burned the notes, so that's the only scene on the non-kidnapping routes (ie. where you take the carriage) where it affects something, right? I was just wondering if there were more scenes I haven't seen yet if I tried to replay that section (invitation routes) with unburnt notes or if I've seen everything, like minor dialogue changes.
Btw how do the white clothes you're given look? What should I imagine? Is it the white uniform the Fatui guard has or something entirely else, like a white lab outfit or something? :) For some reason I kept imagining some soft cotton clothes, haha!
