The reason you can't its because Alex its in love with Jaye, regardless of player choice. Now I haven't explored much of the branching but I am pretty sure Jaye is too on all path, the player choses to go after her or the heritage.
Eh, if the MC can potentially leave Jaye to drown, I think it's fair to say there's *some* level of flexibility in his feelings towards Jaye.
Ya I'm kinda curious to see how that works with the two girls. In my playthrough I'm all-in on Jaye, and I've basically tried to friend-zone all the other girls. I seem to have a good, friendly relationship with Mallory, but still stuff happens at times, like in the file room where she gets on the MC and flirts with him a bit - like you said, I wonder when we can basically just say 'look, I just want to be friends only' and throttle off of anything sexual with the other girls. Mallory clearly picks up on something going on between MC & Jaye when she packs his lunch, so I would think at some point in the near future she'll "get it". Maybe it's there as a plot device for later? Dunno.
I think that there has to be at least a little bit of flirting because in that path the other girl is a romantic foil meant to complicate things and move forward the relationship with the main girl.
Maybe that's the intent. For me on this one, it doesn't even remotely complicate things in the choice department. In terms of hurdles, I'm more curious to see what Lisa does / what her role is in things after she caught them in the act. I think keeping the "taboo" relationship away from the other characters will be the challenge for Jaye & MC, so maybe Mallory will come into play there as well, as I really enjoyed her little teasing comments after she sees Jaye give MC the lunch, especially after she found the note, lol. Kept half-expecting her to start calling Jaye MC's "sister wife" just to fuck with him.
I share your pain. That such beauty is impugned so needlessly.what pain you give me....
Why would she even bother to keep the ''taboo'' relationship a secret from other characters ?
This is the law in the UK
While i find it silly to treat step family as incest, after their parents death their shouldn't be a problem legally.
Probably just "perception" mostly, but like "always86" noted above, depending on the applicable laws, it may be forbidden from a legal angle in terms of marriage.
i agree with some of this, the start where they wouldnt talk and shit kept happening to set them back was annoying, i wouldnt say take it out of the game because it makes it better for when stuff actually gets sorted but its definitely frustrating at the time
Nonsense. I'm a skilled complainer, I can find a way!
haha, i agree that it doesnt mean it has to be about incest 100% and that sometimes the tag is there just because its a option. Ive played a game before where it felt like it was making me go a certain route with someone that i didnt want it so i get it, i think its done here more because of his past with her and that they was in love from a young age. so story wise it makes sense that they would be confused in how they feel when they meet again.Nonsense. I'm a skilled complainer, I can find a way!
To be less tongue in cheek, just because the game incorporates incest doesn't mean the game has to be about incest 100%, to the exclusion of all else. I think it's entirely fair to say I find the incest percentage a bit too high, to the point it distracts from the story and characters that are also supposed to be an important part of the game.
Besides, I'm not complaining about the ability to pursue a relationship with Jaye, I'm complaining about the inability to turn down that relationship. Sooner or later we're going to be able to turn down Jaye once and for all. I'm just hoping we'll get that ability sooner rather than later. I think it would be a shame if we can only turn her down at the end of the story because I like the character, I just don't have any interest in the MC fucking her.
