Nope. I'd much rather have a loving, caring Katie by my side than some she-bitch from the spawning dens of hell.Agreed, but what better form of retribution for them being such C U Next Tuesdays, than to have them completely at your whim?
Rich, pompous & arrogant, but desperately craving you.
You can do with them, as you please. Deprive them, or degrade them, if it suits you.
I think that's quite suitable.
It's certainly not romantic, but it is poetic justice.
A short note: both Ellen and Katie are hate figures for one of the party hosts in Chapter 2:
I only bring Katie to that party because I like the scenes with her afterwards at the MC's place, especially since I like to take screenshots of my favorite girls. I took Ellen once, and I took Vic once. I just like how going to that party with Katie and having her spend the night works in conjunction with scenes at the office the next day when he visits.
Please do not talk like that about Shanlon! She maybe a bitch, but she is MY bitch. Hahaha!Nope. I'd much rather have a loving, caring Katie by my side than some she-bitch from the spawning dens of hell.
I thought only Russians and Ukrainians could like "MY bitch" judging by my amateurish observations. Looks like Brazilian homies ain't indifferent to curvy women with attitude too, they seem to know how to properly cook this hard cookie
Yeah, I am very partial to Asian women, Japanese in general, like I said, if Katie wasn't in the game, I'd be all over Ellen like a rabid hyena, probably would've done stuff with Chandra too. But, alas, that's not the case.
Not all the brazilian guys are like that. Me, I am not really a standard brazilian.Looks like Brazilian homies ain't indifferent to curvy women with attitude too, they seem to know how to properly cook this hard cookie
When cooking rightly a bitchy attitude gives a delicious honey flavor and various undocumented life bonuses
I am just a crazy guy, politically incorrect and I do like "different" things(That is why I feel an Alien). Thats why I like Shanlon, because she is, in someway, "crazy" like me.
I was only nice to her, never did anything to her in the sexual sense. Carli hit me like a thunderbolt.Mark Takagi what about Mido in DA?
I guess her appearance is quite attractive, but if you didn't pursue her route it means her personality doesn't correspond to your criteria
It's usually the first girl I see in a game that hits my heart. In CoBD, you wake up to Katie. In DA, you see Carli first thing. You name the game in my sig, there's a 90-95% chance it's a love at first sight girl, and I am always right in the girls I've chosen to be loyal to.Mark Takagi what about Mido in DA?

I do like all the interactions, but canonically I brought Victoria to the party. Having dragged Katie down to the morgue in the morning I felt too guilty to use her as a human decoy in the evening. Doc deserved a break. Of the two remaining options, Victoria seemed like both a more useful ally and far less likely to draw unwanted attention from Alexis.
I skipped Carli's hooker scene the first time I played DA, so she didn't show up until later (and to far less effect). I wonder if that's part of why Carli never made much of an impression on me?
Most likely, yeah. She's a great ally in the game and her facial expressions in some scenes are amazing, not to mention her beautiful emerald eyes
Mark is truly evil
Well that's it, I caught you - you are just into femdom with bossy mature broads. Nevermind just kidding(...) I do like "different" things(That is why I feel an Alien). Thats why I like Shanlon, because she is, in someway, "crazy" like me.
About Victoria, she is gorgeous of course, but it is not for that why I am attracted to her. She is misterious, she is mature, she known what she wants and she known exactly how to perform her role in life. A woman with that kind of personality is very aphrodisiac for me.
What can I say my friend? Even though they're games, loyalty to me means a lot. I guess it was because I was cheated on a time or two in relationships while I had all the opportunities to do the same and never did it. That's probably why I'm like this, or at least, it only enhanced how I am.Mark is truly evil
He denies young girls their need for love. Judy, Christina, Mido, Chandra, Gloria - none of them will ever experience love in his playthroughs. Even for Matlock and Meredith such cruelty is out of character
Don't worry,I'm here to give our young ladies all the love they deserve. Your analysis makes sense,since Christina was my favorite in DA and Chandra is my fav in cobd,and I'm into that kind of girls in every game.Mark is truly evil

Let's rate Shanlon smartly with "H" - for da "Homies"

, I don't even fancy what it feels like.
Well,acting lessons was a step too far and Leah was a psycho so it's different. But I'd like to see a reaction not only from a person we cheated on,but also from people close to them. For example if we were in an exclusive relationship with Ellen,cheating on her should cause Gloria to dislike us,or Abby to dislike us If we were to cheat on Chandra (if we were exclusive ofc). It seems obvious that it should also inflict the story,let's say you cheated on Katie and your group got into a fight,and she can heal you or another wounded person. Normally she would treat your wounds,but If you cheated,she might choose the other person,Sad to hear of your negative experience
As for CoBD and DA, you didn't play any solo route beyond Katie and Carli and it looks like you will never do it even once just out of curiosity, am I correct?
On the cheating matter, I think it would be reasonable and immersive to reap negative consequences in CoBD for our poly-amorous attitude, at least with regard to Katie, might be to Victoria as well. However, by consequences I certainly do not mean atrocities in the spirit of Acting Lessons...
What do you guys think, which outcomes the cheating should or shouldn't cause in story-driven adult VNs? Is the wisdom "reap what you sow" appropriate for this genre?
Right. I used to initially play all the routes in games and then, after that, choose the "forever girl" for that game. Certain games, like Sisterly Lust or Parental Love were different. Melody was an easy choice, Avalon is more 3rd person kinetic, but I never did Poly stuff there. For many of my games, the "love at first sight" thing holds true. I do have routes for games that are not listed (Life with Mary, Lancaster Boarding House) that I also do solo runs with.Sad to hear of your negative experience

I originally started a solo Elly route on Parental Love but it felt to shitty to abandon everyone else again. I wish you could make it special and still stay. But like you 99% of the time it one LI if it's an option and I can live with the outcome. It just makes the whole experience much more enjoyable for me, I'm not the type of person that has to chase whatever is available.
I love Elly's route, just hate the shit out of Jenna, and don't want to leave Ada behind, which is why I do the Forbidden One now all the time, to me, that's the best route in the game
