Except Max isn't an alpha like Eric, he's a perv who got a lucky break, so it makes sense to me he'd need help, just like he needed it with all of the other girls. Alice reasoned with Ann after getting caught, so it would make sense if she turns out to be the driving force as the story progresses, perhaps going to Kira at some point and coming up with a new movie to smooth the transition...
I don't necessarily think that Max is incapable of Alpha moves -- as I already stated in an earlier post, I think Eric is an example of a dominant alpha gone wrong. I mean, well, most of Max's moves are boyish and pervy in-game, but there are others which I consider borderline Alpha -- washing dishes, doing tutoring, spanking his siblings, buying his family clothes. Max just hasn't figured out when to do those things so that it matters a lot -- DS didn't implement it in-game, that's why I don't harsh on Max too much.
FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
When I was a young kid, my mom and my sisters didn't want me to set foot in the kitchen. I learned early on how to clean and cook well, so I gained their trust and respect with regards to providing for them through kitchen duties. I did not do these things at random, though -- washing dishes every day doesn't matter much, but washing dishes for my sister when she had a long bad day counts for something a whole lot more.
The key is to make the other person understand what it means when I do something for them -- I'm not just washing dishes at random (like in BB), I'm doing it because I love my family, so I do stuff I don't like for other people when it matters the most. This is real life family stuff, doesn't mean I wanna bang my sisters or my mom, but I can generally make anyone in my family do whatever I want within reason. I also got to bang a lot of girls because of my domestic skills (among other things), but that's a totally different ball game altogether.
WITH REGARDS TO MAX'S SERIOUS ALPHA MOVES IN-GAME:
Back to BB, for me, the logical time for Max to bang his Mom is when he started giving 500 dollars a week for expenses, getting her clothes every Saturday, and quitting his pervy peeping (or maybe not getting caught for one or two weeks
). Couple that with spanking Alice for smoking and helping Lisa with homework (helping, as in doing homework with her, not just doing it without her collaboration), then Max is on his way to being a decent Alpha sorta guy. In the first couple of days game-wise, I could help Lisa do her homework with her, so I know this is already implemented in-game. A couple of weeks of game-days later, this option disappeared, so maybe it's just a matter of bringing it back in-game? As of right now, it is already possible to spank Alice for smoking, so it's just a matter of making this mean something in-game beyond giving Max a chance to grope Alice.
IN SUMMARY, I don't necessarily think it's difficult to change the game to make Max more of a sensitive, considerate dom -- it just takes a bit of tweaking of some dialogues arising from the good actions he does to mean something much more beyond temporarily lifting the mood scores of Ann, Lisa and Alice.
