Couple of things:Personally, I think the harem variable makes a big difference. If the variable is set to FALSE, you really have to be on a solo route, otherwise you'll lose the chosen girl, regardless of whether you're messing around with a LI or a SC. Annie's case in EP 8 demonstrates this very clearly.
If the variable is set to TRUE, however, Nancy makes a clear statement:
That includes Dalia. I'm not worried about her anymore.Python:if harempath: n "I'm a big girl, [mc]." n "I can handle rejection." n "I can handle... pain." n "But you're the first love of these girls. Be kind to them." mc "I want..." n "As “unusual” as our lives are, we're all still human." n "If you ever hurt Nova, Annie, Luna, or Alex... I'll be seriously mad at you, young man." show gp 83 n "Oh, and if you EVER hurt Penny or Dalia..."with dis12 n "I'll straight-up murder you." else: n "I'm still not sure of how you convinced me that this could work, [mc]." show gp 83 n "But if my daughters stop talking to me because of you..."with dis12 n "I'll straight-up murder you." play sound planks show gp 84 n "*Walking backwards* Just wanted to make that clear." with dis17 show gp 85 mc "*Chuckles* Got it." if harempath: mc "I love you all, Nancy. I swear." else: mc "I'll start working on it." mc "I love you, Nancy." show gp 84 n "Good." if harempath: n "We love you too." else: n "I love you too." n "And that's all that matters."
I'm not so sure about Calypso, whether she's in the harem or not. We'll see. What I probably know for sure is that the Calypso_interest variable will be crucial, which will be seen in EP 9. Since I'm playing both extreme paths, it will be interesting to see the differences.
1. I imagine being off Calypso's path will lead to Orion's death in 0.9. One major thing Caribdis has been implying since the very first batch of 0.9 sneek peeks is that this update will be the first one where it's possible to get Orion legitimately killed for good if you make the wrong decisions. The theory I've settled on is that, if you're on Calypso's path, she'll vouch for Orion, and prevent people like General Arannis from hurting him. She'll likely be the one to step in at the last minute and prevent his hanging. Because, by this point, she trusts him and, beyond that, loves him. However, if you're off her path, she'll regard Orion as just the guy who saved her, and nothing more. Therefore, she won't care much about him dying, and won't bother stepping in. That's my theory, at least.
2. This isn't really related to your post or my comment above; but, since you seem to be able to find, screenshot, and post the coding for the dialogue in 0.8, can you show me what happens if you're on Annie's path and you flirt with Eulalie during the date? I don't have the time to check it myself and obviously there's no videos of it, but I really wanna know what happens! So, can you show us?
