Just use my link above.
I don't thnk you have to worry about that, the extended couch opportunity was all about Max trying to get her to do stuff without candy.
There is already a corellation in place: relationship, influence and mode don't depend on each other but instead tehy depend on common actions. The actions which raise mood or relationship also reduce Eric's influence.My thought is that the relationship stat should be given MORE importance. As Max builds a stronger relationship with each of the ladies more options SHOULD become available. For Alice the need for candies and blackmail should be LESS the higher the relationship. Lisa, more relationship would me she is more comfortable with Max (he can be in the room as she changes, or more kissing/massage options).
So far it SEEMS that the Relationship level DOES unlock new options, but the combination of Relationship and Mood should probably be better balanced. A MAJOR issue I have is that when we build a strong relationship the (EVIL Scum)Eric should have LESS influence. So far this seems to be a problem and while not as HORRIBLE as the original, this game DOES make things a bit unbalanced in the battle of GOOD (Max) vs EVIL (NASTY scummy (EVIL Scum) Eric).
I have no idea how to balance things in the game, but do feel that the 'Relationship' stat has been neglected, and could help with finding a good balance in the authority/respect between Max and the ladies.
Just a thought.
P.S. Of course I NEED the Chocolate Chip Cookie cheat that unlocks ALL (SEXY) fun content for Max.
Yeah, I hope that will be back at some point, maybe after the Olivia storyline progresses a bit and with Olivia bringing up that idea....
As example, there was an option to talk Lisa into going commando to the school in original game. I personally miss that
Expanding Alice's deal of no panties to her other clothes but jeans could be very pleasant, too.
There are "some" users here who call those who want to get rid of Eric a crybaby and tell them to go and play Glamour, because Eric is the only thing that makes this game interesting and challenging and that Max would be nothing without Eric.
Eric forces the player to focus more on game mechanics, e.g.
I'd like to be able to get rid of him eventually.
That's clear to me that if you don't like him and would like to get rid of him, you're called a crybaby. He's been a horrible character in the game for me since BB.
But in the end it's the same as with Max. He wants to fuck the whole family. Wouldn´t it be also boring? And there he goes ways that I as a player don't agree with. He takes advantage of Ann's unstable situation.
I would challenge that. Whereas I have already stated in my opinion Eric gives Max a reason to be as creepy as he is, Glamour does just fine without him and Max still has challenges (plus there is the option to bring Eric into the game if you want) . Arguably the focus to me should be on the storyline and not lost in mechanics. If you have time to think about that you have less time to enjoy the story. I'm playing Glamour right now and the amount for content is impressive, I thought I was almost done and last night two more events popped up. Coming back to BB_AS I can suggest that maybe not fluctuating the relationship stat could be used to anchor shifting between old and new reactions so that for every new level of the relationship older reactions are blocked (eg shower scenes) I'm not a coder so I maybe over simplifying that.
