QnA January 2022

How does the world of Fallen Hero match up against the likes of DC or Marvel in terms of power levels, general vibe and overall scale?

The problem here is that both Marvel and DC are huge and varied entities with stories and heroes going from street level to the cosmic scale. The same with the vibes. So I can't say anything general, but I can name some similarities:

January 2022 Spoilers QnA

Is it possible to go as the puppet to meet HG but not deliberately crash the car with Ortega in it? If it ends up having to be that way just because otherwise there's no differences between the choices made I totally get it, it just felt a bit out of character I guess for my Sidestep to not even park the car before leaving the puppet lol.

Yes, but you can't do the early a...

What is the most stupid thing that the Dr.Mortum has done or built.

Spoilers QnA August

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere and I just missed it, but If you end Retribution with enough suspicion from the Rangers to be revealed as a villain in the mc crash ending, but you end up puppet stuck (with Sidestep's body at the Rangers), will the Rangers still figure out that Sidestep is the villain and Sidestep themself just doesn't know yet that they've been caught?
