I'm ok with the branching of the war path. And what you say here makes a lot of sense. My only problem with this extended confrontation path is how long it will take. I don't want to have to be dealing with Eric throughout 10 more updates until Max can finally be able to corrupt/romance the girls on his own.
Aleksey, I think is doing a better job, of handling the Eric story. I'm looking forward to 0.04, and hope to hear from you on his PATREON.
Here’s the thing with Eric. I don’t mind him fucking Ann. I can live with him banging Kira get a slightly harder time accepting Alice and want to keep Lisa to myself. Thankfully I don’t mind NTR so while I wouldn’t aim for things to go that way I don’t mind when they do. (That said I did restart BB when I realised Eric was giving Lisa lessons, but truth be told if we got to see them I might not have done)
That isn't really what was said, the thing is that if you choose the easy path and you only lose the content/interactions with Eric, I wouldn't mind, but the thing is that by choosing the easy path, you will limit yourself to content with the family and FUTURE characters, and that's not a good thing to do in a game. If I can't stand a character and I want to get rid of him fast why I as a player should be punished by it? In the end in both paths of war you will get rid of him, we don't know how we will get ride of him yet, so maybe in both paths MAx is the one doing it, but in one he just discover more things about Eric first. Hell if it's something like stoping Eric in the extended, it will give Max insight about being and alpha and things like that, the dev could do the same thing in the fast way but without needing Eric, studyin by himself, going to a club, things like that but without Eric. Limiting content isn't a good thing 10 times out of 10 in every game.
That doesn't really answer the question about how long will the extended war path be compared to the fast path, like if we can follow the fast path and get rid of Eric in the v0.5 in what version would we be able to get rid of Eric in the only good path of the war, the extende, like v0.6/0.7/0.8/0.50, etc. The answer you posted, you already posted it before. If all the paths of kicking Eric would happend in the 0.5, then he wouldn't even need to branch it.
You aren’t punished. You are rewarded with the content type you like. Yes there is less of it, but only to increase options and create more content that may appeal to more people
Limiting content, just because you choose to kick an character in a fast way, is always a bad move, it's like you want to punish players that don't like a character and want him gone as fast as posible. Many people that play this game and the original, didn't like Eric and wanted him gone as fast as posible. Now if you do that here, you get punished by limiting, future content, and that's not a good thing. Basically you are saying at those players that want him gone, fuck you, if you want to see all the future good content you need to play the game the way I the dev want. Because ther's no good points in kicking Eric fast, other than him not being there, if you will lose future content.
If you limit content, just because you choose to kick Eric fast, you are punishing those player, by not offering them all the future content.
Content isn’t being ‘limited’ though. Other paths have different content because they are different. You make a choice, the path you like, then you don’t get any of the stuff you don’t. I could argue to you that the vanilla path means I get less of what I like.
It's hard mode, bitch.
If all 13 opportunities say that, time to wait for next update. Some time in June.
First of all Aleksey said many times that he personaly dont like eric (information via maxbishup if i am not wrong).
