Haha it was really close but thanksOk, he can embrace her, and that sets a variable v9_fireworks = "love". Sorry for the misunderstanding (and any burst pants)
But honestly it's interesting because I don't look at any Variables so this could mean that the Firework Scene is more important than it seems at first and maybe also triggers Ian's inner Thoughts after the Trip where he kind of realized that there is more between him and Alison.
Ah, I was only half remembering it. It is 2 steps. First you have to embrace her so back in the hotel you then can tell her that you 'love it too', 'it' referring to being together with her. That sets the variable ian_alison_love which breaks the Ian/Lena relationship.Haha it was really close but thanks
I've also been suspecting that Seymour has some additional cards up his sleeve, and somehow will use Lena's sexuality in his business. But as dundun implies, he's powerful enough to get by without setting up honeytraps for his opponents—or needing Lena's help in other ways. At least with the current cast, and I can't see Eva adding a bunch of new characters for that sole intention.Ok, I really like the idea of Lena becoming Seymour's sexy spy, seducing and then blackmailing business partners and sabotaging businesses to fail so he can buy them.
But, sorry there is always a but, it doesn't really make much sense. For the cafe to fail all Lena has to do is stop helping them. But either they are already failing because Lena didn't help them or Lena really cares about the van Dykes. This is not Star Wars where decent people become youngling murdering psychopaths in a blink of an eye. And to sabotage them she wouldn't have to do some sexy evil stuff, all she had to do is stop helping them. Which is not very exciting.
Spying on Emma would make sense in a way but there is no need for sexy stuff, all Lena would have to do is to pretend to be her friend. Again, not very interesting. Also I don't get the feeling Seymour is that concerned about Emma.
Seymour whoring out Lena to a business partner can easily happen but the problem with that is that you need new characters for that. So this would be more a one off thing, like with Ryan in GGGB.
I also don't get that Seymour is desperate to please Agnes, he seems quite eager himself. And the clause about him not being allowed to touch Lena except she asks for it, well, maybe he just wants to make her beg
So, while I think you are mostly right in that these things will happen, I don't expect it to be that hot and exciting. My theory for Seymour is that he is trying to break in Lena, to make her willingly accept to be his playting/whore/slave. Axel knows (and is likely helping) and that is why he was so calm to Lena after they posed together and why he isn't obsessed with Lena any more.
Talking about detective work, you have any idea when we will find out what is the whole ruckus about Stan?
Yes, that is right! The mayor would be a valuable target and he is connected to the cast (Perry and Ian). It is suspicious that Lena meets him at the restaurant and then can meet him again barely clothed. He obviously was going to play some role in the game and I was wondering what that might be. Using Lena to blackmail/bribe him would make sense for Seymour and it wouldn't be too far out of Lena's comfort zone. And he is not exactly ugly.
I think Stan and other will be dlc after the game finished if they didn't get good story in the next updates
To me I like to see everything and how things will go in different routes
For me it's more that I don't find Stan as insufferable, he's rather harmless when he isn't being a creep.
You know, I think them being a group of selfish individuals that have fun together is the most realistic part about their dynamics. You are right that they aren't true friends or best friends, just buddies at best, but you know, compared to the sugar-coated friendships often portrayed in films or TV-shows, that's often the case IRL. You are extremely lucky if you have at least one person who'd fit the criteria you put into real friendship. Personally, I relate to Ian's group of buddies very much. I was growing up disappointed that I never managed to have any real close friends like I saw in movies, and this somewhat toxic friendship was the best thing I had. It's not ideal, but it's better than being alone. Because if things become shitty, you can at least rely on them to distract you from your problems.
could not agree more. The friendships started in highschool and their common ground is now long gone.
Exactly. They're long past their prime. Well, maybe not Ian and Jeremy, but Perry and Wade definitely are. Wade is a has-been charmer and "cool guy" that lost all of his passions since dating Cindy. Perry is an artistic guy who used to enjoy singing for their band and still misses that feeling of brotherhood that they shared in the past. That's why he's always trying to initiate hangouts or some events for the group, not willing to let everyone become separated for good. As annoying as he can be, he's really the glue holding everyone together.
Your perspective on Perry is interesting, and you make some very good points, but can't really agree with this; seeing as it seems like everyone in this town bump into each other some way or the other aaaand I don't think Ian would have had his last latte at the cafe...
it's new (added by EVA herself) I think it's related to the open relationship Ian can suggest to Lena.
