VN Ren'Py Eruption Imminent [v0.6.1] [MorriganRae]

[macky22]

Relationships are explicitly marked if you use the hint mechanic, none are forced. In fact, not a single sex scene is forced so far, even if you've already gotten involved with someone; you can opt-out of any intimate moment.

Sex with Zoey and twice with Fiona cannot be avoided. And I'd rather have an option to avoid the one with Fiona. I'd prefer Ashe having Lexi or Natasha as first experience.

You can avoid anything sexual with Fiona, just don't start your 'friends with benefits' relationship with her during episode 4. It's true about Zoey though, you need for Ashe to lose her virginity in the story, but that's it. Preferring to have Natasha as a first is certainly a choice But to each their own. Anyway, if you don't like Fiona in that regard, don't focus on her while masturbating on the couch, and you won't have any intimate encounters with her later on.

Thanks for the advice, did not know that.

So why don't you just install the incest patch from the OP like I guess most of us did?

I wasn't aware there was a patch when I made my comment, there is no link to it on the download section and I don't recall seeing an option when starting the game. Also that's besides the point, the premise of the game should make sense without needing a patch.

Even setting that aside, they story is interesting but all of the forced scenes with the mum just feel weird, I would just have liked a bit more player agency in choosing what content to engage with.

No problem. Like I said, if you have any doubts, don't hesitate to use the Choice Hints from the Preferences menu. It'll let you know when you can be locked in a romantic/sexual relationship or when it ends.

By the way, am i the only one to find the Branching System of EI terribly constricting?
Like Ashe being a duplo, and with such an amazing wide variety of characters it makes much more sense for Ashe to be Siren, Kitten, or Cuck depending on the circumstance and the character shes interacting with.
Not on the path chosen in Ep. 4.
For example I find it hot for Ashe to be domme with Vanessa, Lexi, Delilah while its hot for Ashe to be Kitten with Fiona, Natasha and maybe Cuck with Evelyn while alternating paths with Zoey.
This of course is personal preference, but that is the fantastic thing for this AVN. Most H-Scenes have 3 different options, to each their own. It just sucks that I can only view them in different Playtroughs altogether, and then in each playtrough Ashe is terribly one-dimensional. Even tough for her as a character it makes much more sense to be exploring different situations and behaviours.
Im so thankful to manscout for his mod removing the branch system, making the game much better.
But i believe this mod should be canon for this beautiful game.
Anyway im curios what you guys think.

Can you provide specific situations where this happened to you? I don't mean it in a weird way, I'm just genuinely curious.
It's been a while since I played the first 5 episodes, and the only recent one I have in my memory is the 6th one, but I can't recall any moment within the game where I felt that I lacked the ability to choose or that I was forced down a certain path or outcome.
The game provides a bunch of possibilities and variables, and I can't think of a single time where I wanted (or didn't want) to do something and it didn't follow my wishes.
The only 'forced' result is at the end of episode 4, if you've made very specific decisions leaning towards Ashe being a certain way, you might be locked to only one path out of the three available, but that's about it.
Relationships are explicitly marked if you use the hint mechanic, none are forced. In fact, almost not a single sex scene is forced so far (except losing Ashe's virginity to Zoey), even if you've already gotten involved with someone; you can opt-out of basically any intimate moment based on your choices. The only thing that has to happen no matter what is Ashe and Rachel, because that's a memory from the past and it's what drove them being distant for over a year.

I havent Played it completely trough yet im playing it as i am writing. I was thinking spesificly on the buying those Pills for the Blond girl and the Resturant when you get to the parking garage/house and your told you was only invited due to a some wierd scheme she had MC was even thinking it maby i should go and i would totaly Left if the choice was there i would have hated being used by others like that just my Opinion just a couple of examples of the top of my head.

I get what you're saying, but I personally like it that way, the routes not only affect the different relationships you can have (or the variables within those), but also Ashe's personality, which in turn will definitely have an influence on the plot as a whole, and the outcome of said relationships. It's straightforward, it makes sense for the story, and still provides a bunch of various choices and replayability even within a single route.
Also, it helps with consistency and in developing Ashe properly as a character. There might be exceptions in real life, of course, but I don't think it'd make a lot of sense if you enjoyed being assertive, but also submitting to others, and also letting others play with your feelings or cucking you. It's one thing if you as an outside observer enjoy the diversity of scenes, but story-wise it wouldn't work that well.
Moreover, people who stick to one path will most likely just want to watch anything related to it, while those who want to play two or more routes will want the full experience of each one of them, not mixing them up. For instance, I like her being a Siren, which is why that's my path, and I wouldn't want for her to be submissive with other characters and less to be a cuck with any others.
There have been some games that have tried to mix several LIs and different outcomes within each one without locking the main character to a specific route/behaviour, and in the long run they were a headache, or too much to handle and ended up being abandoned.

I really, REALLY want to fuck Siri but I've not been given that choice! What gives? lol

Ooh can't wait for ep 7 . I desperately want Vanessa to be a nice woman, my heart would break if she is a stereotypical mean rich girl who hates duplos

There has to be a way to rationalize her reaction. Probably beyond just "hey we were getting close and you didn't tell me you slutwhore!" I don't know though, if a hetero male was making out with a transwoman and they didn't tell him.. I imagine that would be quite infuriating. To be fair Vanessa just made her leave, she didn't say anything overly hateful or personally attack her.

Same, I'm quite invested in that relationship, probably the one that I'm looking forward to the most. What can I say? I love a mean and 'spoiled' girl that has a soft spot for the outcast and shy one. Here's hoping that her reaction is valid, and not simply based on prejudices or false pretenses.

 

[lazygamerxx]

I am pretty sure her reaction is either because she think ashe is working for her mother, that she as a bad experience with a dulpo in her past or maybe it was damage control she only kick her out to help her because if she stay who know what the others would say it better for her to leave now and not hear any hateful words or she was worried that ashe being a dulpo might effect her plans cause it seem van is about to do something extreme in order to escape her mother control.
