agn25, thanks for the clarification.Let me clarify my stance a little better. First off let me just say that Monica starting ep 4 at the farm doesn't mean that she will be permanently stuck there. I see that option as a early failed ending with her going to the farm as Marcus's "fuck meat". I hope Decent Monkey does a proper scene with that ending.
In my scenario I see Monica agreeing to go to the Farm but more on her terms. More of a way for her to discover who is truly behind her arrest and more so who actually is in control of the farm. I see her more as like a undercover agent who will need to decide which activities on the farm will benefit her goal. I can see her being allowed to come and go from the farm in certain situations much like Melanie was. She might become a recruiter for the farm to help her gain trust from the Farms leaders.
Starting at the farm doesn't mean she loses all her agency. Much like in ep2 when her corruption was brought on by her need for food, shelter and money. At the farm it would be her need for information or status or trust that could send her into many events that we would enjoy but Monica not so much.
As long as Monica doesn't give up on her goal of having her business and life return the game can continue into any scenario. Any alternate or early endings should be paths that she gives up that dream and settles for another life. Some of them we can see coming in ep3. I do think though that whatever the ending is that continues into ep4 needs to be one where Monica makes a big decision on how she will possibly get her life and status back.
A very graceful decision, I really like it. I don't think anyone would mind such a thing. And the great thing is that Monica still has options to try to get her life and status back, even through the Farm.
This thread is still getting questions from those players who don't fully understand how to do FB photo shoots properly. Thanks for your comprehensive and detailed reply, I've added it to the FAQ.For the event list to mark each photoshoot as completed you will need to do each shoot at least twice. Take note when you repeat a shoot of the dots on the arrows. They represent angles that you already saw the first time. Make sure you hit the arrows without a dot on the second shoot for the event list to be able to mark it complete.
The game doesn't need you to complete all the photoshoots twice. Once is enough for almost all shoots. There is 1 shoot that must be completed twice but other than that just doing the shoot is enough.
The pink dress shoot needs to be done 3 times for event list to mark it as complete. The shoot before the first public event at the hotel doesn't mark off any angles. The event list is wrong in saying that you need to complete the pink dress shoot for the Melanie shoot. All the shoots leading to Melanie's shoot only need to be done once.
I think you are somewhat underestimating the importance of the Farm in the Fashion Business. In my opinion, for a large number of "old" players (and not just old players), Farm is the ultimate sacred point of Monica's itinerary, where she a priori had to get to. Let the DM team people correct me if I'm wrong, but sending Monica to the Farm is the canonical ending that was originally intended for FB. It's too forbidden and sweet fruit to just ignore. Also, I read that DecentMonkey in the early development of the Fashion Business was inspired byI see it in a way like StiflerBR: For me and that is of course completly subjective, the farm is only secondary, the struggle and corruption are my driving force to play.
For me the game is very much about submitting and not only for Monica:
Claire is submitting to her desire and giving up willingly her "middleclass" life.
Melanie is submitting to her "mistress" Victoria and her new lewd lifestyle.
And finally Monica is submitting to her cirumcstances and come to term with her lifestyle, one way or another
Of course that does not mean, there is no room for the farm or your ideas, that are actually quite good.
But I don´t think that 90 % really want to see a such an focus on farm content. It has it´s fans, no question about that.
With farm content I would miss the lightheartness of the game, because thescenes have often not only an erotic, but also an humorous touch. I´m pretty sure the farm has the tendency to bit a harder
You must be registered to see the links
, so the fact that the Farm should be one of the main locations in the game sounds pretty logical and reasonable to me.For too long players have been teased about Monica's possible entry into the Farm and described everything that happens there too colourfully and vividly for them to simply give it up. I've seen too many questions from players saying like "When will Monica be on the Farm so we can take part in her adventures there?". So I think you can't just dismiss it and say, "We're kidding, the Farm is cancelled". Especially if the implementation of the Farm in the game, based on the current Patreon rules, is quite possible and would not be considered a violation.
