Everyone has interests and tastes, and the art of making a game is to be able to cover a wide range of these interests and tastes. This is also a very difficult task. As a player, I can choose my favorite game according to my taste. If the game had several storylines, follow my favorite storyline. But I can not expect the game developer to make the game just according to my interests. I'm not a NTR fan at all. But it is not far from the mind that in the game, the player can put the game in the desired direction with his choices. In this game, the developer can make the events and storyline in such a way that it remains faithful to the generalities of the original game while the events and characters are completely different. The game developer had announced this in the past. Just imagine what would happen to the game if the game developer wanted to include all the requests and comments provided in the game. We have seen the result in a few games. As I said before, I did not like some parts of the previous game like many other players (like the presence of characters in the porn movie). But I can only suggest an alternative or hope that there are no things I do not like in this version of the game. My suggestion is not a reason that it will definitely be done because I am not the only player in this game. A game can have different storylines at the same time with or without NTR, each with its own fans. And it's the game developer art of how to manage it. It should not be judged until the game is finished.
Ok, so I'm not sure if this is still the plan or not. But a year ago, give are take, Aleksey was asked about porn movies. He said that porn movies will be in this game. He was then ask about Lisa in the movies, he replied "definitely not". As far as I know, the dev has never said if Eric will stay in the game on friend path. But he did say that we would see, at some point, how Eric would hurt the family.
The first is an Alliance with Eric.
You will be able to see how he'll mess up Max's family. Also, if you behave yourself and help Eric do it, you can even participate in this corruption.
And if you are very impudent and take risks, you will get something without Eric.
The second is the confrontation with Eric.
This option is divided into two more parts,
simple and
complex extended.
The first simple part is getting rid of Eric as quickly as possible. You will have a number of options for this deliverance.
But this path will limit you in some further opportunities and actions related to the dominance of Max in his family and over other characters.
The second difficult extended part is a longer confrontation with Eric, thanks to which max will have the opportunity to develop and consolidate his influence in the family and get rid of Eric.
This part will maximize opportunities and actions for Max.
