Can the Fourth Calamity Really Be Everyone's Favorite?

What Happens When My Four Save Files Merge After I Restart for the Fourth Time?

When you play a game, all you want is to have fun.

The first time I played Starbound, Lou Mingyue got hooked on hacking and slashing. I killed my way through the Zerg stronghold, ripped off the Queen's head as a trophy, and snagged the top spot in the game for combat ability.

I rushed to the forum to brag--wait, the NPCs in this game are romanceable?

Why are you all building harems with a partner on each arm?

Those characters with faces like I'd stolen eight million from them? I thought they were part of the enemy faction!

I followed a guide and opened the affection panel for the first time. Every single character had a black heart.

I posted a screenshot on the forum: "Does this mean I've successfully romanced them?"

First reply: "Well, I've never seen anything like this. First time I've seen negative affection. Did you kill their entire families?"

...Fine.

I blew up the Zerg Queen's head in the sky above the nebula like fireworks, commemorated the failed save, and restarted without hesitation.

As it turned out, dating was a lot harder than killing monsters and leveling up.

I struggled through to my fourth save, carefully picked out a marriage partner, and got ready to romance them.

Then all four save files suddenly merged.

What does that even mean?

The Star Pirate King who slaughtered his way through the Zerg + the delicate, beautiful Crown Princess of the Empire + the Omega human weapon from an evil lab + the top student at the Federal Mech Academy.

Those four characters have all become one person now, right???

Damn it, Star Map, how am I supposed to play now?

P.S. I'll be revising the text and fixing typos frequently. Ignore updates that aren't posted at the usual time.
