"Also unique because it's powerful?"

But you said that it was useless at the end of your review?

"Not really. Janitor and Forger can target living people, but their ability will have no effect. They can't target people who have died."

Yeah, its exactly like the janitor and forger; the janitor and forger target living people who are going to die. The engineer does the exact same thing, target alive people who are going to die. (I probably should've worded it better) "how long does the assimiliated guy stay assimilated?"They stay assimilated for how long the engineer chooses to assimilate them, like i said, if the engineer chooses not to assimilate someone they had just assimilated, they will appear dead the next day. "then why is the engineer even useful? Does the engineer even get to know their ability?"no, the engineer does not get to know their targets ability. The engineer is useful because they get to use their target to claim against certain people and distract the town away from the mafia. "Uh, you ended up highlighting the big problem with this role, is that similar to pre-rework disguiser this messes with the trail system, and honestly that's the biggest downfall of this role."I keep hearing that vague phrase "it messes up the trial system" despite no reviewer actually telling me how it messes up the trail system. Every person still gets to vote for anyone they want to vote for, the person who was assimilated cant vote because dead people should never be allowed to vote, ever. The only real way it messes up the trial system is that the engineer cant vote for the person they assimilated, but how does that mess it up? its not that big of a change? "Why? This removes all functionality of the Engineer." Well once the engineer is done using his target to manipulate the town, surely it doesnt matter whether the town knows he was assimilated or not?
