VN Ren'Py A Wife and Mother [v0.215] [Lust & Passion]

[jamdan]

A quid pro quo is " a favor or advantage granted or expected in return for something. "

I don't think Sophia is the one giving the favor. She isn't in a position to do so. She is the one that will be doing something for a favor. Although this is mostly wording schematics.

Since this event happens during the same day the Aiden blackmail is. Perhaps Morello will do a favor by helping Sophia deal with the blackmail, in exchange for Sophia doing something for him (not directly sexual, perhaps another date or something). Morello probably doesn't like Aiden toying with his plaything, after all.

 

[Hlextor]

Maybe the place she has to go to contains sexual elements. Plus Morello wants be more friendly with Sophia, this could be a step towards that. I'm sure you don't expect morello to blurt put a sexual request of any sorts.

It doesn't suit his character. Even if he wants anything sexual he will take his time. Plus what is the difference if Morello asks something sexual in return. She is already doing it for Aiden and now to get rid of that she has to do sexual things for a mafia boss.

That's just pushing yourself further down the hole. Hence my stand that the favour won't be sexual. The way things play out can be or this is will be used as way to progress Morello Sophia relationship.

Also this has been labelled as an Easy Solution. That definitely hints at something simpler.

Yes, I agree with you. Morello going in the same direction as Aiden now is definitely not to be expected. That would make no sense at all for Sophia. However, L&P has stated that the deal with Morello should be well thought out.

 

[xxxorro]

I know you put emphasis on the, "Should" not be exposed to other requests from Morello and the text, "Have a nice day, Mrs. Parker. I still hope we'll meet sometime again.", but with the Quid Pro Quo? that just tells me something else may be added to the favor. If you read this text in the prison visitor scene. She is not a Cumare, but something like it. Maybe that was a mistype or intentional, but with that wording, it makes me wonder if there's going to be some sort of stipulation or setup from being like a Cumare to being an actual Cumare.

Spoiler: Larry Morello - Something like my "Cumare"

Yes, there are of course many ways to interpret that quid pro quo, and I bet he chose the wording to make it ambiguous and... teasing.

In the simplest interpretation Sophia has already done the quid and now she is trying to cash the quo Morello mentioned in the call, no other strings attached. As you said, the "something like my cumare" lets one think she is not "full cumare" but at the same time he also says "your wish is also my wish". So that wording does not help to make it clear. Assuming she is, Morello should just pay the favor and that's it, end of story.

Then obviously there is the more intriguing interpretation in which there will be a discussion/bargain about something that Sophia has to do again in return, i.e. the quid and the quo have both still to be done. Probably something that Morello will cast as a "small favor" to compensate the gap between what she is asking and what he feels he owns her after Larry visit. And there could be a choice for the player to make to accept or not, as you said, the proverbial lesser of the two evils.

I think that both are perfectly possible for what we know, the second one opens more interesting (story-wise) options for sure. And adds another layer of complexity (branches, dependencies etc) to the story and more development.
Ironically, even this is a choice between the lesser of two evils

If we examine this closer, the first Quid pro quo was Liam's debt to the casino. To clear it, Sophia had to meet with Don's brother Larry, Which, after the meeting, absolved all debts to the casino. His new teaser title tells me that a new deal could be in play now, based on this "Like a Cumare." text. This new Quid pro quo will be I'll help with Aiden in return for..... Then again, maybe "your wish is also my wish." might come into play since he ended the teaser caption with a question mark. It could be something like, I'll help you with Aiden but could you help me with something, and she can choose to help or not without any issues from Don if she declines his request.

Also, The other thing is what if you show up for Larry's visit and you decide not to show or do anything for him. That will lead to another Quid pro quo. Here is the conversation between them where he only reduce the amount owed and did not clear the entire debt.

Can anyone explain this in short

Update v0.155 won't be released until the "Addon" is completed. Does that help?

 

[Dylan741]

You can update it by yourself, download the pc version, unzip it, take the game folder and drag it in the autorun folder where the game folder is situated ( while pressing the alt key), following this path:
Right click on the game icon/Show Package Contents/Contents/Resources/Autorun, release and click merge in the pop up windows.
Just do a backup of the game folder (before doing these steps) for security, like I did.

 

[菊花献给党]

This guy is really good at making excuses

 

[roro]

I see he keeps releasing teasers, so the threat of not releasing more was false?

He didn't say there wouldn't be any more teasers, he said "secret teasers like this", and by that he means (in my opinion of course) either a teaser that spoils surprise or a hot teaser (or both). It's pretty obvious he didn't mean regular teasers (like the last one with the don), otherwise why use "like this"?

 

[imbatshit452]

last time the update was at 100% it was still three days before it was available are we going to have the same problem again?

Oooh Candles! (in the morning?) and a Drink (?) - I guess there are no windows to inform about what time of day in a casino. Sophia looks composed, not cornered.

''Update v0.155 won't be released until the 'Addon' is completed''

MID MARCH IS MY GUESS

The only thing I was hearing for the last month is excuses that he would be already done with his part. Now he still says he needs time to finish his own part. I thought March was a joke but here we are

 

[ancienregimele]

I introduced the idea of March months ago as the possible date for an outside chance bet on the update appearing & the odds would have been really rewarding. It's a pity that it wasn't real.....but wait, I don't gamble anymore. It was just a bit of fun.....now not funny at all.

Speaking of gambling, it's interesting that the Don Morello route could be the "easy" way to ecape the blackmail. Since when was becoming involved with the Mafia an "easy" solution to any problem? Right now Sophia's on the outside looking in but maybe some fans hate Aiden so much that organised crime is preferable? She'd be better off hiring her own thugs to give him a pasting, or just 'talk' to him, if that's how things are going to be. Whatever happens I'm looking forward to finding out & also saying goodbye to the anti-blackmail lobby. If they're as pleased as I was to get Dylan hooked up with Emma & get him off Sophia's back, there will be rejoicing in the land.

 

[Sadowdark]

so how will it be in March until the game finals?

It isn't definitely March but what we're hearing seems to indicate that it's a strong possibility.
