The way i see it is that every options are about blaming the grandparents exclusively and thus making certain that the nimbus of dad remain unblemished. As if dad must be the good guy in this story and so the grandparents have to be the bad ones, yes? No.
What if dad has reasons to hide the past because he fears he'd lose us if he'd tell. Is afraid to come clean. Its a very legitimate fear for a parent. What if he himself never came to terms with that past. He couldn't let himself fall apart he had a son to raise. Not everyone crumbles under such pressure but the meantime keeps it in the closet unable to burry it for good. I suspect skeletons in dad's closet. But its just me.
Second cousins are not incest! All is good. Let the fun commence! ..come now, dad, don't be so old-school, i will use a condom.
This is very interesting. Do we know how old the MC is? I don't recall reading an exact age. I would think his upcoming Birthday would be his 21st thus whatever is in the letter has been set up for years maybe even before he was born and by law the Dad is sworn to secrecy until he "Comes of age" at 21. The Dad did say that the letter was nothing to worry about and he did open it before you even asked him to so i'm not sure it's even something that will be that big of a deal?I see the same here
as a "reader" of the story I must necessarily trust what I am told, until proven otherwise, otherwise it becomes too tiringThe way i see it is that every options are about blaming the grandparents exclusively and thus making certain that the nimbus of dad remain unblemished. As if dad must be the good guy in this story and so the grandparents have to be the bad ones, yes? No.
This idea deals with that 50% if them grandparents are to blame. I sign these. Sure thing no problem but this just 3 options from the angle IF they are the culprit here. What if dad is to blame.
Dad is a saint is seemingly hard coded in the fanbase here yet i prefer a more pragmatic approach. I will buy the "Elitist Grandparent" explanation as soon as we meet them and they prove it to be correct. Untill then lets not forget that it is Dad who keeps us away from them and not the other way around. It is dad who prevents us from making a judgement call. We are old enough. He could have said that okay, lets make a visit and you can see for yourself. But he isn't exactly eager to let us make the connection now is he.
We were a child before so yes, why not. But we aren't anymore. The reason we don't care about our grandparents.. is him. Solely. He instilled the idea in us that they are the bad guys. Nothing proves them to be beside his words. They aren't able to defend themselves or even put up a counter arguement now can they so we are left to believe whatever dad says. A very convenient position to be in.
Its very easy to manipluate the reader/player if the player believes everything the narration says while it was told from the point of view of an in-game character. The idea here is that players think the writer wants them to tell the hidden truth. I can't tell you how many times i tricked my players with such false narratives. It always works. They always expect likable NPCs to tell the truth as if they know the truth and have no other agenda beside transmitting storyteller info.
I see the same here
Nightmarish isn't it
Don't think for a second that a writer can't (or won't) utilize this simple fact. Misdirection becomes just way too tempting for a storyteller not to use. Its too much fun.
it is absolutely possible to be deceived by the author, what you say is very credibleNightmarish isn't it
Sadly it doesn't. Maya will still treat this as if her interaction with MC was the most life changing experience ever. Whether you have sex with her or not makes little difference, if any. Not to mention some interactions with Maya are unavoidable. So you might as well go all the way in. At least this way it gives their reactions more credibility.
Yeah, that's kind of the way i thought it might play out reading what others have posted here. Cheers.
Also: Can't make retarded babies if DPC never implements a pregnancy system.
Yeah, I don't think of Tommy as antagonistic at all. Tommy's a massive dick, his character is aggressive but also loyal. I also think he may have brotherly feelings for Josy, he's just really bad at expressing them.
Don't know about Maya tho cause I took every chance I could get to spend time with her, but with Josy I tried it out. It's still a big revel and schock for everyone, the only thing that changed was at the bathroom. Josy said that he made a move on her and they kissed even tho he knew she was in a relationship.
Nah nah nah gotta stop you right there. The reason why I would've turned down Josy at that point would be because of the fact that she is in a relationship. After learning that her relationship was with Maya, you can still propose to them, nothing wrong with that. Just because you don't want to fuck someone who is in a relationship, doesn't mean you reject them. It's a matter of dignity and decency
I also think that way, the whole ''ShE rUiNs My FuN'' is him, deep down, just trying to protect Josy from the HOTs and all the lewd (maybe illegal as well ? Idk) stuff that comes with it
the player's motivations matter little though ...
No. Too early. Status updates aren't dealing with release date predictions yet.
the affinity mechanism excludes you from certain situations
