Well great, sucked it up to offer her more money, and you were wrong. Instead of getting to buy the villa, now she's trying to rope me into her dom sessions with Tiff. Yet more interaction now with my TWO least favorite members of the crew. This keeps getting better and better. Hopefully I'll be able to buy the damn villa without having to join any of their "sessions."
Let's then just hope she doesn't think the same about you when you lie on her operating table again, bleeding to death.
I stand corrected. I neglected to mention that part. Just ignore the sessions and next time you visit medbay you'll get to buy the villa. I don't like those two either, and while I guess they are essential to the crew, they're not getting any love from me.
Yeah, that's how it played out. I have 0 intention to check out the blue star when it shows up in Tiff and Julia's room, and I did get the purchase option for the villa the next time I went to the medbay after Julia introduced her S&M/bondage/whatever-I-don't-care-anyways sessions with Tiff. And I've said it before - I can understand the necessity of a doctor on board but with my focus 100% on salvage for profits I find Tiff to be whiny deadweight. I did very much enjoy the villa with Kara, so it all ended well I guess. Still a bit irritated I have to pursue relationship development with characters I despise in order to pursue the ones I desire. Regarding the last couple sentences of your spoiler, you're already right IMO, and I wish there could be but do not expect there ever will be an option to dump some of the crew... *sigh*
I have adjusted the dialogue option to "Are you trying to angle for a greater share of the earnings?". Hope this makes it a little clearer. Will be changed in the next version.
With the Kara Villa content, I wanted to put the Captain's personal funds to good use. In order to do this, I need an interface of some kind to allow the purchase. Hence this would require either a discussion with a character or placing it on the Captain's computer. The problem with the Captain's computer, is that I suspect most players would miss it entirely and never see the Kara content. This leaves character interactions with the logical one from a story perspective being Julia.
So the Villa is really focused on Kara's content in this current update. Is it possible to skip/bypass it if you're not interested in her? Will the Villa serve as a getaway for other girls as well?
Yeah, I was hoping the location was available after the scenario. Hopefully in a later update.
I understand your points, and I do believe you've done an excellent job of creating unique characters. I don't get why, if you've gone out of your way to create unique characters you expect that some players will dislike some of, you tie one character's development (and you have to admit, getting to intercourse with Kara is a pretty crucial piece of development) to another character. It's your game to design how you choose of course, and I'm greatly appreciative you give my input consideration in the first place. I do want to reiterate this point though: the only reason I knew what needed to be done to unlock the villa was that I follow this thread. There were no hints at all in the game to lead me to Julia (not sure why she's any more logical a purchase route than Alice, Tanya, or Rachel might be - would it be possible to tie the purchase option to more than one character?) and because I strongly dislike Julia and never choose to interact with her one on one, I would never have stumbled on the option to buy the villa without the metagame knowledge I picked up here.
Haven't really decided what else I will utilise the Villa for at this stage. I am contemplating the option of Kara / Rachel at the villa though. I have set a deadline to complete the game at the end of the year, which will likely mean that some compromises need to be made to the side content.
People have different preferences. As a very simple analogy, if you prefer blondes you will be less interested in those that aren't blonde. Similar things apply to their nature as well. Perhaps saying that they dislike may be a little strong, not interested, may be closer to the truth. I would note however that you do seem to dislike Julia. Also note that there are others that really like her. There is no right or wrong preference, it's just a personal preference.
wrong order = kick out
Dislike was your term, though you're right about me, if anything dislike is too mild a term for my opinion on Julia. Maybe I should put it this way: if you know players are going to be uninterested in some of the characters, why tie one character's crucial development hook to another character at all? Especially with no in-game driver to point to character B for the hook to character A's plot advancement? Especially in a sandbox where it is possible to only interact with some characters and not others, and most especially where the design of the "Wheel of Lust" means that for every interaction with a character you
At this point, I'm looking at the relationship level of the LIs that are inevitable and chose the one with the lowest score. I would expect that might be the way that LI initiative would work. The one in "greatest need for lovin'" would be the one to show up.
Don't mind the idea of girls showing up to try and seduce the MC to pick them.
"What are you going to do to me?"
It seems MC has to be on some path to actually open up dialogues at the table,
Took me a moment to realize what you're talking about, then I remembered.
