Blackmail was never required in this. you think women get sexually liberated just at a certain age? blackmail is just the easy way for creators to corrupt the characters, without coming up other ways to do it.
Wow! Are you of legal age to play these games? Because your comprehension of women is non existant...
HA! actually I am 8 years Sophia's senior. I gather you guys have never known a woman like Sophia. She's not an open minded Liberal women. She's very conservative, very level headed with a high degree of moral ethics and modesty. Now granted, women such as this are becoming more rare than fine gold in the western world and virtually non existent amongst the youth these days. So, is a perspective of youth the frame of reference you fellas are drawing from? I gather that is the case with most here, and thus the astonishment at the reluctance of Sophia to wear a bikini in front of Dylan. I do know and have known several women with this degree of modesty and morality. Sophia is already well grounded and set in her ways, a code she has lived by her entire life. We are not not talking about someone young and impressionable or still at an age where she is experimenting with new things. Nor are we talking about a person who was a hussy in her youth and then got married and has been repressing these desires all these years only to have circumstance and seduction slowly rekindle these latent desires within her. Those desires were never there to begin with (at least that's what I've gleaned from the story so far) she has lived a pristine life. The most I can see a woman such as Sophia yielding to (without a case of severe coercion) is an affair. A woman like this in the middle of her sexual prime and maybe neglected or mistreated by her husband and along comes a man who says and does all the right things (whether genuinely or by guile) and starts to lure her away on an emotional level and she slowly begins to succumb to this temptation. She would never willingly fall prey to all the depravity yet to be realized in this game, without the use of coercion, extortion or blackmail, however you want to call it. Now in the case of 'Elena's life' or 'anna's exciting affection' or similar projects, I would agree with you guys that blackmail was not necessary (although welcomed by me) to achieve their corruption. And I assure you that my adoration for this particular kink is not clouding my judgment on the matter ( I try really hard to be honest with myself, as I find self deception to be a very scary state of mind). My thought processes on this are based solely on simple logic and deductive reasoning, as well as the reality of my life's experience and acquaintances throughout.
Having said that, I'd like to offer up an apology to you guys and others here for coming off as prick (that is certainly what I was in my youth but is no longer my defining quality). I am someone who is offended by nothing, yet very irritated by a few things, and at times I let it break me down and get the better of me. There are developers who have actually removed content and kinks that I and others really enjoy, due to the loud uproar of those that can't seem to handle such content. L&P almost did as well, but thankfully he conducted a poll. And when people only have their own self interests in mind whilst complaining, then developers see this and either avoid certain kinks altogether or remove them completely and thus, those of us that like these kinks (that are already a rare commodity) are denied what we enjoy in order to please another highly vocal group. I think it's perfectly fine for people to voice their displeasure at certain aspects of a game, but it would be wonderful and respectful to others if it was done in a less loud manner and without an urge to voice it over and over. I think this forum would be much less toxic if more of us (myself included) would adhere to some simple and self imposed guidelines, and also realize that there are other ways to play a game, such as, a simple path of avoidance, or just rapidly clicking your way through unfavorable content, or better yet, never letting those lines between fiction and reality become so blurred that you allow yourself to be enraged by things that are not really happening to a real person. At the end of the day, it is only a piece of fiction containing pixels and text. There are no real world consequences.
Peace, people
