What you see in Entropy Zero is a character that has been given the gift of the protagonist

It's neither a gift nor a "privilege," even if latter is how the benefactors phrase it. The protagonist is effectively as much of a slave to the Combine as the rank-and-file transhumans - not through some blatant type of lobotomy, but rather carrot-and-stick coercion. I won't divulge too much to avoid spoilers, because I encourage people to play EZ2 on their own. It's a fun story that, despite the edgy-sounding premise, actually explores the protagonist's circumstances in very interesting fashion.

The gift of the protagonist is a concession made to the protagonist of a story for the sake of the story itself.

Like Gordon Freeman being lucky and able to gun down thousands of augmented soldiers.

summarize briefly somewhere and let people headcanon the rest
nothing kills me inside more than rigid rules for a setting
especially when it comes to events and stuff

people have their own interesting ideas and trying to put a setting in a box is a bad idea
dont like this thread!

The thread is quite literally to guide players who have doubts on how the setting works, though?

This is not a "lore rules" thread it's a "please answer my doubts" thread

Honestly @MaXenzie it's as if you're speaking for my soul in those posts I just neb'd. Deadass losing characters fucked me up massively.

As for the whole OTA thing, honestly - with OTA being a lot more commonplace and being a main faction in this setting, I don't see why we need to stick to the cityrp rule of "they can't/dont roleplay beyond a s2k /me". I'm deadass genuinely considering making an ultra-loyalist second order religious zealot that seeks purification by transhumanisation and it'd be kinda baller to continue that roleplay up to the point he becomes OTA and then evolve it into him being some radical crusader type that isn't only brainwashed to obey the union but is so willingly committed that he takes his duties further beyond their minimum. Like we've said that the MMR's don't 'wipe' memories but rather replace them/warp them to be better, right? So I could genuinely see him massacring unarmed rebel civilians and his conditioning/delusional nature making him view it as purging demons from the world.

How I sleep knowing I won't have to be guarding a CAB while they do haram things with their favourite Union Medical member ever again

The truth is one of them got turnt into the Slug-In-Chief and one of the primary Elite Overwatch missions will be kidnapping rebels - exclusively medics - never to be seen again outside of steam PMs

look you can rate it bad idea but dont blame me, blame the Combine for making host bodies for CAB players of all people

me, unknowingly walking into the UM office to discuss about funeral arrangements with @Bio Junior as my guard, seeing the UM director with a maskless cop on the couch... me, oblivious...

we know that the server is set during the events of hl2 ep2, but is it after the portal closed or before the portal closed?

my boy numbers pepic or jaggles correct me if i'm wrong but this is after hl2:ep2 since the premise is the combine is gathered under advisors trying to hunt a portal to reach main world for reinforcements
