In this sense, I think you're right: Eric is important because in order for an incest story to work from an Oedipus complex point of view, there has to be a father figure for Max to try and displace to get at her mom. When Max won against Eric, the next logical step should be for Max win his Mom, which didn't happen story-wise.If he was going to touch the women the Eric served no purpose especially considering his desire to not let Max touch them.
LisaGF was not a fully realized path but from V2 she came home from school and started talking about Alex and Olivia.
Eric was just a convenient way for DS to get around his mental block regarding Incest and allowing him to put sexual situations into a game. Cause he had no idea how to get them with Max since none of them fit the personality profile DS thinks is required to start Incest.
He certainly intended to write an incest game when he started and Eric may have been part of it, but he soon realized he had issue writing an incest story and made Eric what he became.
Currently playing around with the seduction mod,guys can someone help me please does there some mods that add story in this game please can someone pm me or link here thanks in addition
I like the way you are thinking in this post, just wanted to share ideas to incorporate both BDSM and Control into the Incest plots in the game and to tie it all together --The game could have ALL of those....Each Woman would have her own angle to the type of sex they will have...
Which is what makes MotH so great...Each character fits into a different track, One willing (Little Sister), One Hesitant/Conflicted (Mother) and one Dominated (Older Sister)
DS could have easily done the same thing in this game but he doesn't have the desire or the understanding to do that.
He doesn't get incest so all the characters are sexed up by BDSM and Control since that is what turns him on where Incest does not.
Wow, I'm actually surprised that anyone would even read my long rant. Rest assured that I have indeed played Man of the House (2 playthroughs) and while I am very fond of that game and will certainly play it again (if another version ever comes out), I still think that Big Brother is a somewhat better game. Also, MotH isn't exactly free of repetitive grinding.You my friend need to play a lot more games....Either that or define what genre you think this is the gold standard for, Cause it sure isn't the Incest Genre! LOL

For now, yes, but the two paths are being merged in the future.I guess going the Olivia route means LisaGF route is dead right?
Of course people lie. But these are fictional characters on a script at work. They say and mean whats written. It's written on at least 4 diffrent talks between characters ingame that "nothing" other then teaching verbally went on. After Eric steels Sex-ed from Max on the friends route you can get her back by grabbing a snappshot of Eric wanking off to Alice. He says, You want Lisa back?.. Ok have her. Shes young inexperienced and boring. (He doesent even try to convince Max otherwice because obviolsy the Sex-ed bores him as well and was a small price to pay.)Whatever helps you sleep at night man. You do know that people can and do lie.
They will be mergedI guess going the Olivia route means LisaGF route is dead right?
Because it's a fictional porn game. I don't believe that you want to see 2-years-transformation for characters presonality, right?One thing I noticed in DS' characters is that they have anything BUT consistent personalities.
For example:
Lisa plays the innocent little sister, so far so good, then she starts getting dirtier and dirtier with her brother untill they reach full fledged anal sex anywhere, then she goes back to "I want a boyfriend, someone who I can trust to give my first time" and starts going to dates with max just to shortly after that go back to "Meh, I don't mind you fucking other girls, as long as I can watch, maybe, just maaaaaybe I'll join".
Ann starts as the strict mother, that uses physical punishments (aka spanking) too "keep her children in line", but then she turns out to be a submissive woman who's not right in the head, then she turns bissexual with her own sister and then becomes porn actress, all that while still hypocritically using her strict mother persona.
Alice starts as the stereotypical elder sister, authoritative, loathes his younger brother but then turns out to be a submissive bisexual who would even let her brother fuck her if it pleases her dom, then she suddenly turns into a dom herself.
Yep, fickle as fickle can be.
Will they be merged from the Olivia side as well? Like if you started on the Olivia route, can you them move to the Lisa GF route?They will be merged
Niceee, I was hoping for that answer. Something something footjob requestThey will be merged
Nah, I get what you're saying. What I meant is that it all happens too sudden, way too sudden to be honest. It just feels... Strange.Because it's a fictional porn game. I don't believe that you want to see 2-years-transformation for characters presonality, right?
In reality, moments of self-reflection between important events in one's life triggers increasing self-awareness that transforms people's character and personality (TLDR: it's not time but experience that builds character, I can't help getting long-winded at times, so I beg for your indulgence on this.Because it's a fictional porn game.

Wow, such a long feedback. I agree that opportunities are a better version of quests and they make game more interresting for players. The most of the positive aspects of the game were introduced in first 3-4 updates. Afterwards, the development lost its sparkle/creativity. Sometimes is very hard to overcome your previos achievements. Nevertheless, BB is one of the best game in its category.Salutations, DarkSilver! Just played the game recently, and I just wanted to say I really liked what I played. One of the strongest features of your game is the Opportunities feature. I think the way the Opportunities feature of the game works, the number of opportunities present and its depth makes it possible for players to connect with your characters based on their progression in the Opportunities tab. I also like how progression in Relationship level is driven by progression in the Opportunities tab. This results in players filling in the gap in the overall story of BB so far, making the story of BB their own as we speculate what the progression in these opportunities mean to the characters of the story -- this is a stroke of genius that differentiates your game from the usual stat building mechanics of other games of a similar nature that designs events and sex-scene rewards based on attaining main character stats goals.
The Opportunities feature is a great narrative device that I have only seen in your porn game so far. I really appreciate this, and I hope you continue developing this in the future.

Lol, I agree, this isn't real life, it's a fictional porn game, and I'm with you in that respect. Just to connect this thought with what I said earlier about the Opportunities feature, though, I think the fact that there is narrative progression via the Opportunities tab implies that you are already telling a story that impacts how players view the characters in your story.
For instance, one great character in your game is Eric -- the fact that I hated him after that first conversation about his intentions on my mom and sisters made me hate him with a burning passion equivalent to a thousand suns. The fact that I have such a visceral hate towards him is great writing on your part. The fact that I chose to go to war with him right from the get-go after that conversation says something about how I want Max to be -- someone who has a fiercely protective attitude towards my family, which is who I am. There are feedback on these choices in the "Alpha Male" vertical tab of the Opportunities menu screen, and I think that's pretty good.
I feel what would be even better is an additional vertical tab in the Opportunities menu screen titled "Max's story so far...", it could be the first tab there, that shows the history of Max's choices when these narrative events come up. Such a tab would have 2 purposes: 1.) it's an easy way for the player to see if the Opportunities tab has updated or not based on their gameplay, 2.) it creates a sense that there is a history and a trajectory to Max's character based on WHEN he made those choices -- if he goes to war with Eric early, Max is shaping up to be a manly man, the Alpha lion who will defend his pride when necessary; and if he goes to war with Eric late (which I never tried, I hate Eric too much), he's a skeevy little prick. Even if this is not explicitly told in that tab, it's a Max character story that the players can make up for themselves, and could even discuss in these forums.
TLDR: thank you for showing up in the forums, I really appreciate your game a lot. I seldom play porn games, but yours hooked me and made me waste more time than I wanted -- that means you did a great job! I'm afraid I have to start weaning myself away from it, the two days I spent playing it means I'm starting to get addicted, lol.![]()
