VN Ren'Py A Wife and Mother [v0.201] [Lust & Passion]

[Old Dog]

I'm interested in what role Sophia will play on this route. I think the next update will shed some light. Will there or will there not be sex between Tony and Sophia.
On the other hand, will Tony go public with a relationship with Sophia? I'm talking about concerts and stuff ... because this couldn't be hidden from Liam or Patricia/Carl anymore.

I would of thought that between Aiden's blackmail and creepy Bennett's intentions towards Sophia it would of become public before now.

 

[Old Dog]

liam could go, unbeknownst to sophia, back to the casino.
convinced that he has morello's trust thanks to sophia, he could try his luck too much and cause other problems.
Morello could exploit the situation again in a personal way.

If it happens that Liam went back to the casino then that would be very stupid of him and Morello could have him thrown out/beat the crap out of him or warn him that next time he will tell his wife.
If Morello did get Liam beaten up Liam could not say a word about it in case his wife found out that he went back to the casino after he promised that he wouldn't go back there and if Morello did get Liam beaten up and Sophia found out about this it would put a different light on Morello for Sophia

Agreed, but it's a world isolated from Liam's or Carl/Patricia's ears. I think the only one in the family who should have heard anything is Dylan. On the Emma/Dylan route it could be Emma or Zach telling Alyssa.

if it were, I don't think it will be forced blackmail, like Aiden. but something sophia could freely choose whether to do it or not.

Aiden's blackmail is in no way forced either. In my playthrough Sophia simply chooses to tells him to fuck off and goes to Carl for help. Problem solved. No need to get indebted to the Morellos at all. And still get pretty much all of the hot content.

without hitting liam, morello could simply call sophia and say that liam has contracted new debts.
and for the sake of their marriage, only the two of them could solve the problem without telling anyone

Alyssa knows that Sophia sometimes goes out without wearing a bra but thinks nothing of it(Zac told her)

Yes you can tell Aiden to fuckoff and then you lose Alyssa and maybe Zac as well so I would say that it is forced on certain routes

Precisely, I'd be surprised if Zach didn't tell Alyssa the other things.

One of the reasons why I think that Alyssa could help Sophia solve her problem with Aiden if you skipped the casino night

You already know I consider that a negligible price to pay for not having to deal with dicks. And I much prefer the Ellie events you get instead anyway. Still win/win as far as I'm concerned.

If I remember correctly Alyssa said if Sophia doesn't fix it she will do it her way

 

[Old Dog]

Yes I know that you prefer the other side and refusing Aiden and sending Dylan away solves a lot of things for you concerning Dylan.
How much of a difference do you think it will make when Dylan comes home from boarding school?

 

[Old Dog]

If I remember correctly Alyssa said if Sophia doesn't fix it she will do it her way

Yes that was near the start of the game but Sophia said no and that she would fix it herself but other than that we know nothing as to how Alyssa may fix Aidengate

Apart from Ellie grumbling that now the peace and quiet is ruined, not much. Some forced events with Dylan like the Yoga event, and the salon event on PD 13 (why does he need to be taken to get a haircut - I was going to the barber by myself when I was 14)

I did find that strange as well but we will just have to live with it.
I have sent you a PM concerning a friend of ours

 

[Bill_Buttlicker]

Yes, she will forcibly introduce him to Antonio and make sure he will never sit properly again.

I think a chat or a phone call will suffice.
It's a "Bad Blood" series, a small Asian shop owner whose son is being beaten and extorted by a neighborhood gang, calls a local mob member, not the boss. And this Mafia member, along with another friend, with a gun in the mouth of one of the gang members, explains what they must do from now on.
When the Asian's son would leave the house, the gang boys would take his backpack and walk him to school every morning.
What can I say, quite a show

And it's very possible that Tony knows Aiden's uncle personally. L&P mentioned that Uncle runs in such circles, hard to avoid the boss.

anything to do with Sophia will result in her owing a favour. My suggestion was so Sophia wouldn't be controlled by the Mafia, and she would be free from the Aiden problem.

After being caught with Ellie, Sophia's main reaction was to nag Liam into fixing the bathroom lock. There is a however the little scene afterwards in the kitchen with Sophia trying to grapple with what she did, and Ellie calming her down. After all, Liam didn't have a problem with what they said they were doing.

What did you need to know? I believe the Julia event Killjoys is talking about is the Midsommer Night's Dream ballet that is mentioned on day 1. It is however an indeterminate time away, so there's no guarantee we'll ever see it.

There is also the dance performance at the community centre with Ellie, Christine, Elena etc. Much of my dismay at the announcement of the Coach Sophia storyline was that these events with a bunch of hot girls were being ignored.

I looked again at the three choices at the hot tube event with Sam. Depending on the decision, Sophia's thoughts are slightly different or more or less intensely shaped by school feelings. The internal argument is weakest when Sam hides behind the bathtub. The question now is whether these decisions, and with them the inner monologue, will have an impact on the future Sam event?
I also found Sophia's thoughts in bed after the Cathy event interesting. She thought about the offer and pretended not to be the one who has already had extramarital sexual experiences. I can understand that L&P writes the scene like this because the Cathy event also takes place without the Sam route, but the inner monologue should look a little different depending on the route.

Another issue ( which I believe might just be my personal issue ) was the lack of renders. I know I know, everyone will hate this point. But somehow it didn't feel like Awam. There were very less reaction shots, shots that generate a flow to the events. Sometimes things felt rushed. I would consciously think that there would have been a render here but it wasn't. I get that he is actively trying to reduce his render count. But at times it felt it a little abrupt for Awam standards and also at times it felt too stagnant. The renders weren't changing or repetitive renders were being used. Maybe it was because there was a lot more conversation without much happening around the characters and so he didn't do it on purpose. Anyways it was a little off-putting but fine.

I thought I was the only one who felt that way.
