This update allows Chosen encountered in campaign mode to have pre-existing personal relationships with each other. Currently, they're limited to being childhood friends or siblings, but more kinds of relationship are planned. Custom Chosen created for campaign mode can be given relationships with each other, and the new "Bait" position for your Forsaken will allow the game to dynamically generate new relatives for the subject.
Any two Chosen who share a personal relationship will never appear on the same team, because so much of the writing assumes that teammates don't know each other beforehand. And this feature is currently limited to campaign mode, because linking custom teams in single play to your current roster of Forsaken isn't as simple as it sounds. But relatives who are generated or pre-made should show up very reliably in campaign mode, so it won't be difficult to access the new content.
Another new addition is a large collection of possible epilogues for Chosen who escape the final battle without experiencing a Total Break. These epilogues describe the not-completely-broken Chosen's experiences after fleeing, and they explain what drives the Chosen to return to fight you again. For players who haven't yet tried the campaign mode strategy of deliberately allowing a weakened Chosen to escape in order to have an easier time defeating her in a future loop, this wouldn't be a bad time to start.
Fans of Kalloi's portrait pack should note that the versions in the sidebar have once again been updated! It takes full advantage of last version's naming scheme ravamp in order to give each of the Chosen and Forsaken a set of facial expressions fitting for her personality, so I highly recommend using it, and the tips and challenges packed alongside it are worth checking out. The new feature that allows you to change characters' portraits without changing their displayed name also makes it easier to switch between the alternative portrait sets in the pack.
Finally, this update also has a new vignette, commissioned by the very same Kalloi. It was fun to write, and it isn't too hard to trigger as you pursue the Aversion path, so I recommend checking it out. Next month's update will bring the fourth Distortion path: Rampancy.
