damn i was guessing it might be something like this but wasnt sure. just spent 2.5 hrs on my first playthrough and crashed out with EON as my 8th host lol. Wanted to see what happened. Didn't want to spoil the game but was so stoked after playing through this game I just came upon I wanted to see what everyone else said. This game is lit. thanks for the tip. :)
