I wish Nel was optional, or there was a way to progress while being hostile to her - or to at least skip the times she takes control of the player. It’s essentially frequent, repeating, unskippable cutscenes.
It’s a good game, though, and still worth playing to me. It just prioritises concept over everything else sometimes - like gameplay, or player agency.
YESSS! She is even responsible for acquiring an important transformation for the character, I know there is a question of her being a more experienced mage in the lore, but there could really be a "hardcore" version (like an alternative wheel) where you do things alone, being more time consuming and difficult to achieve things, but being done by your own hands
I’m actually stuck at the point where I’m trying to unlock the transformation and my only way forward is to increase my relationship with Nel – but nothing I do seems to have any effect on that relationship. So all I can do in the game is watch Nel do random dungeon delves and manipulate Evie, with zero input or say from me. Pretty frustrating.
I’m at 7.6, and it tells me to share more about myself with Nel. … How?
[edit] I updated the game and kept playing a while longer - I think I got unstuck, her relationship meter is finally moving upwards again and I managed to at least see the form change event.
On a sidenote, if you wear Violet through the portal that strips you naked the game gets a bit confused when you go back through to the normal world. I had normal clothes with purple sleeves, and violet reset to staying at the well.
