I don't have any dark path. Unless the LI is a b*tch I just want to treat her well

I have paths for every play through so far, just to see the different contrasts in content, along with the dynamics of the relationships MC has with other characters.
The walkthrough provided in the OP's post is excellent and on point.

I prefer the light path because the dark path can get very DARK. But I really like the Ashe extortion path, the way she and MC go back and forth at each other is endearing in its own messed up way. It's probably my second favorite path after Nicki love path.

Mmm, I think that one holds a lot of promise myself. I can see Ashe getting pretty comfortable with their relationship, albeit a lot more cynical than the bubbly girl that she is on the true romance path. That is once she manages to wrap her head around how despite him blackmailing her into dating him, he paradoxically respects her more than other people do.

Beware BG3. It is consuming my life and I am not getting much work done on our game at all. My partner is obsessed with it too so we are basically fucked.

Doing that before she tells him about them would be kind of creepy though, don't you think? Now that she has told him about them, he can reveal it all to her a little later on.
Can't comment on BG3, the DOS series, or the Pathfinder series, but if anyone cares, I personally found PoE1/2 to be pretty disappointing in the writing department, especially regarding dialogue. Overall, it reads as very fan-fiction-y try-hard melodrama. PoE2 is the main problem, as I can't even finish any of my games I start. The world, its inhabitants, and the pacing just lose me every time. So many random NPCs who try to awkwardly dump their life stories onto you, which is a problem I guess with a lot of RPGs, but it especially stands out in #2 imo. It does have great gameplay, though, I'll give it that. I just wish there were RPGs whose writers didn't feel the need to make it another "the world is going to end unless our Mary Sue superhero hand-picked by the gods saves the day!" That's why IWD was so great; pretty basic simple story where the hero is just a guy (or multiple guys if you make a party). Also had one of the most interesting antagonist reveals as well. What a gem.
Anyways, back onto topic haha... I can't wait until Cassie appears. She's my #1 most anticipated character for every single path. She might even be the only LI that doesn't have a romance path, for obvious reasons, depending on how realistic Neon wants to be. Not that there aren't actual sibling fuckers out there, but... they're usually pretty damn rare. If there is a romance path, I personally hope it's the longest, most blue-balled one of them all because that would be very engrossing and believable to me and would make for an actual rewarding incest romance as opposed to most everything else on this site where they just kind of hop into your lap after a while without any issue or buildup. I guess what I'm trying to say is that lovingly fucking your sister should come with some pretty major roadblocks that need to be maneuvered around beforehand, if at all. None of that "hehe, big bro, if you wanted to fuck me, all you had to do was ask! Heehee!" shit. Our resident lesbian Viola should also be hard to romance, if at all possible. Looking forward to seeing how Neon's figured them out.

What do you have against viola ?
And why on earth would she be "our resident lesbian"?
And why would it be impossible for you to start a romance with her,
i would move heaven and earth to make this cute,blonde angel fall in love with me !!

At the end of Chapter 3 and loving the game so far. Just hope there's a Harem/Polycule ending, and seems like there might be incest planned. I like Nicki, Ashe, and Gabby so far, so I hope I don't have to choose. No relationship choices with Carolina yet, but I could see being with her too.

You put that part about Cassie into words better than I ever could
A lot of the incest games I have played the brother pretty much forces or corrupts his sister or mother into sex
But I really like when the incest is focused more on romance than sex
So, if we can romance Cassie, I'll definitely play that path
Because Neon does the romance stuff really well imo
So I know Cassie's path will be awesome

In order to discover that Viola is a lesbian you have to do something so awful to her that she tearfully apologizes to Gabi, the girl she loves.

My understanding was that she was a lesbian. She could also be bi, obviously, I don't know for sure, I'm just convinced she's a lesbian; even if she is bi, though, she could still lean towards women over men as many bi people have a preference. But, if she is a lesbian, her romance path would obviously have to be a considerable, if not impossible, challenge for the MC. So, really, her & Cassie should probably be the hardest, longest, most blue-balled romances of the game.It may even turn out that her romance path will in the long-run be infertile ground for the MC. What I mean by that is that there are lesbian women who dabble in hetero relationships, and maybe even some who convince themselves they're bi, but discover that they're confusing feelings of closeness and friendly love with romantic love. She might in the end discover something like that and end up pulling away from MC eventually. There are tons of stories of married women doing something like that, being in denial or confused, even ashamed etc. And depending on her cultural views on homosexuality, that shame aspect might heavily influence her decisions.
Or maybe MC ends up being the confused one projecting his own feelings onto Viola, where Neon allows the player to interpret her behavior however they want; i.e., MC goes in for a kiss and... Viola reciprocates! Maybe the player can interpret it as "yeah, she's into me" when the reality is that she thinks the MC is a really sweet guy, but she's so afraid for her & her mother's financial situation that she's swept by MC's tide that she feels almost powerless to resist, too afraid to say no, and so on; power dynamics and all that.
I obviously am just pulling from my ass at this point, but it's fun to try and anticipate story & character beats for this game

Hmm indeed lol. I think you're projecting...a lot. Even with her backstory from neon...I would doubt she is gay, bi or anything else. I would imagine it's a crush on a friend, one of the very few people she has got close to. She has probably never had any relationship of any kind whatsoeverI obviously am just pulling from my ass at this point, but it's fun to try and anticipate story & character beats for this game

viola is a lesbian? lmao of course the only non whorish character is a lesbian
since i see no tag for lesbianism, i don't think Viola will be a lesbian. i hope not anyway, Viola is definately an LI i want to see more scenes with.
