Hiya, new patron (Agent) here for this nifty game. I am fairly satisfied with it so far. The only significant issues I have are the design choices that conflict with my min-maxing preferences.
This is relevant since there is no walkthrough (I understand to build one with all the paths would be super complex) and the game does not give any hint of the consequences of a choice (frustrating, but I can often cope by backtracking after a choice and taking note of its effects, or looking at the code). I would get too little fun from playing blind.
Moreover, my playstyle preferences compel me to build a playthrough that is a 'best of' in terms of character features I value, branching be damned. Broadly that means to make the PC as slutty and oversexed as possible, first and foremost, and then a competent badass in terms of mental and physical abilities. Therefore, I seek a playthrough that is kind of optimal for maximizing the slutty and promiscuous stats and choices, and goes as far as possible to raise the physical, mental, and confidence stats. Then I adjust the build by console cheating to cover the difference, Generally I do so just before the end of the Prologue or the first picking of kinks and sex skills as the case may be.
I notice that my pursuit of the slutty path inevitably drops the Sophistication and Stability stats to very low levels. I am OK with the former, and uncertain about the latter. Broadly speaking, I am satisfied with my PC eventually facing sexy failure, falling to corruption, and losing herself to the prostitution lifestyle or the like. However, I would be frustrated if it happens too soon and prevents me from seeing too much of the plot. Therefore, I am uncertain what to so when the game warns me about too low Stability.
Moreover, I am more than a little displeased that my pursuit of sluttiness inevitably makes Claire a bad student that needs to cheat in order to barely manage to graduate. Is this a side effect of low Stability and insufficent Learning and Discipline, to be remedied by appropriate Stat hacking? Or are there other hidden stats relevant to academic success that I should adjust, and if so which ones?
Broadly speaking, the path I have concocted so far maximizes the slutty stats and choices in HS and college, enrolls Claire in a gang and the partygirl sorority, and otherwise gives priority to the nerdy and athletic ones when possible. GY is bespoken for going all the way in the tribal path for kinky reasons, unless another path exists that is even more sexy and I am unaware of. Claire is the result of a drunken hookup with a young mother and an absent father and lives in LA. She is a Nordic bombshell according to my preferences. She generally embraces everything life throws at her. Is this playthrough optimal for my purposes?
