"My concern isn't so much Eric at the moment. I rage when he comes into play, but in my game, I've completely shut his shit down with pills and blackmail. So he's no issue. My main concern is DS's fetishes. Let me rephrase that. His throwing this BDSM fetish down our throats. He's creating a game for everyone, not only himself. Yet nearly every character has been into BDSM play and he tries to justify it crazy events that happened in their past. "
My objection is more about how he is prioritizing the work, he of course is only going to make a game that interests him and we are free to play or not. I hate Eric, well actually I love how much I hate him. He is great if you want to have a conflict and the fact that we hate him is really cool. I have actually never disliked a game character as much as I dislike him.
But as people have posted we are playing as Max and he needs to focus on that or make this a game about peeping and having a power struggle with a jerk. How many months, before you actually feel like you have any impact on the game? Should not be talking about 4 or 5 here. I am also puzzled by a fundamental underlying in his game. I just shrug it off but... more than once we run into this attitude of "Shut up max or we will ship you off" or the "you are a pervert max" Really? Alice is a bisexual submissive, Kira a bisexual pornstar, the mother and eric would go to prison, as sex offenders. Not to mention Child protective services etc... Really Liza is the closest to normal. All max would have to do is make one phone call and the entire world for Mom and Eric would come crashing down, that one photo he took might put them in jail or at least cost mom her children. .... It just bugs me to see this dialog, Max in reality, is in a strong position. He is 18ish and could just walk out, setting the entire place on a metaphorical fire at will and Eric acts like he powerless. Given his age, court would do nothing or very little to him for peeping in some windows, cheating on some homework and what having sex with his elders? If I was on his jury, I would be wondering how Max did it and would want pointers, I would not be thinking prison. I can tell you I would be thinking about the max prison time for Eric and I would pulling Liza into a foster home.
