HiYou mean the scene where in spite of how much of a bitch she treats Dylan, he still fixes her laptop, all while snooping in his room because he can't trusted in hers, yet she continues to go through all his drawers, under his bed, and snoops everywhere she can while accusing him of being a nosy perv. and taunting him about being a virgin and no girl will want to be with him..., yes, I did get to that scene.
Between that and the beach prank, she really makes it hard to like her in spite of how hot her and Jules are together and her showers with Sophia. I'm almost tempted to do a run where she doesn't kiss Julia ends up with Elena while she avoids that path altogether.
Given where you had said previously you had got to at that point in time, I was trying very hard not to talk too much of what was coming up so as not to give any advance spoilers for your first playthrough.
Yes - I did mean that scene. First thing I should say is that, to the best of my recollection, we still don't know in game quite why Ellie seems to hate Dylan at the very start of the story so vehemently. Various people have speculated on why that might be but I don't want to go back over that - maybe it might be clarified by L&P in future, maybe it will remain just setting out the story opening.
Then moving forward in the storyline re beach Viagra prank, again yes I think Ellie totally overcompensated and Sophia was surprisingly lenient - again that particular prank has been discussed many times before and I don't want to provoke yet further discussion on it - just noting that I agree with your criticism of Ellie for the beach prank.
So what I want to focus on is Dylan fixing her laptop, and yes Ellie is still being a bit of a bitch to Dylan and yes she is annoyingly snooping round his room. But overall I seem to come away from that scene with a different overall impression that you did. To me it is the first time that Dylan acts more mature than he had been earlier in the story. He does nt get provoked by her jibes, and at the end, all he wants in payment for his efforts is an affectionate hug and thanks from his sister. That is progress from Dylan's perspective.
And also look at Ellie's reaction to Dylan - it feels to me as the turning point in their relationship. I don't know if we will ever get any sexual scenes between Dylan and Ellie, but if we do then it will be based on storylines starting from this scene.
We might get a sense of that in the next update when we have already seen the preview of Dylan with Ellie and Christiine in the back garden seating area. Maybe that might lead to Ellie setting Dylan up with Christine - to me that is not something that could have happened before the laptop repair scene.
