We talk a lot here about how little we can trust anyone in the game so I'm curious how everyone reacted to the opportunities to get to know Lana and Dizzy a little more intimately in your primary playthroughs. Also, what was it that made you say yes or no? Did you take a leap of faith, play it safe, blindly succumb to lust, or attempt to practice some bedroom politics? Me personally, I have to admit I took the path of the total horndog, but I had different reasons for my yeses.
The emotional backdrop of the scene with Lana was my character feeling distraught over what happened to Grace and failing the mission. I absolutely wanted to be comforted in that moment. I wanted to forget. I didn't want to feel like I was incompetent. I didn't want to feel like I got someone killed. Lana offered exactly the comfort and escape I was looking for at that moment. It mattered a lot who was doing the offering, too. Lana is the character I'm drawn to most in the game both physically and emotionally. What she was doing felt abrupt and out of character, but I didn't want to turn her down. I didn't want to lose the opportunity to get closer to her not knowing if I'd ever get another chance like that (actual answer is available in thread, but I'm in character right now dammit). Sure, there was a part of me said I shouldn't do it, that it was irresponsible, that it was a possible abuse of command, and even that Lana herself might want me to say no in the long run. That part of me totally got overruled in the heat of the moment. Horndog +1.
I was a lot less surprised by Dizzy's offer. Really, I felt like all of our prior interactions were leading us to this. I also felt less conflicted about accepting her offer. I knew there was no love or deep emotions involved here -- at most, there was affection and curiosity. I also realized it was quite likely that Dizzy had been ordered to get closer to me. The most obvious source of that order was Vera, and that's actually part of the reason I said yes. I'm open to aligning with Vera, and I was happy to potentially convey that openness in an enjoyable way. So I played a little politics and had a nice time with someone I like though don't necessarily trust. No regrets. Horndog +1.
Baby rattlers have zero venom control until they are adults. That means they unload all of their venom into any creature they bite. This makes the babies far more deadly than adult rattlers. Good luck with that too.
