Sadly, the only harem will probably be in one of the Dark Guy endings where he has managed to blackmail enough of them. In the good guy run, sooner or later he is most probably going to need to make a choice and live with it. That's the way of the world. Nice guys finish last, if they ever finish at all.

With that in mind... Anyone else doing an "All Friends" run? Normally I wouldn't bother because with most games, it just means you skip all the sexy content. But the fact that Britanni is a little more flirtatious on her friends route, it got me wondering if the girls would get a little more forward with Guy with pursuing him rather him Guy pursuing them.

I wouldn't exactly call falling in love and living happily ever after with Mason, Nicki or any of these babes finishing last.

Honestly even if being nice meant you don't get any of the girls not worth it to be an asshole. As I dont see any reason to change who you are just to get a girl. There are plenty of assholes in the world that's why I'll never change beside just dont have it in me to be an asshole most of the time

Obviously being nice will get you /a/ girl. Maybe two. I think the main discussion is if you have a "nice Guy" harem and that's doubtful. It just strains credibility given the setting and the girls' demeanors.

a harem will certainly need some manipulation or something to make the girls depend on guy , like giving them a job , it seems like alot of the girls have this condition met...maybe nice guy can have a harem too if he plays it right

If we did get a nice guy harem ( I dont think we will) I think a nice guy harem wouldn't include everyone however but doesn't need to. As some girls like Ashe clearly won't be up for it.

Neon has already stated there will not be a nice guy harem...and a harm of sorts on the dark path.

Dev's do occasionally change their minds on things, I don't think Neon will. I'm still just standing by to know who you can end up with at the end on the good guy path... So I can friend zone the rest right off the bat.

One thing I'm going to try to do, is open up some of the corruption options so there's a little more flexibility/light path potential. You can already "just" be fuck-buddies with Nicki, without being romantic. A character like Mason or Risa would be amenable to a "situationship" without monogamy, because of their personal views on sex. I still plan on adding a light sugarbaby route for Gabby, and softening Ashe's corruption route so you can get on her light corruption route without being a dick. Chapter 10 has a character imply she might be interested in a no-strings situation.

Now, are you going to be able to marry nine girls at the end? No. But, I think there will be a way to have a less serious relationship with most of the girls.

Nah its time efficient. Instead of playing the same main story again and again for 10 LI, you could play it once for 10 LI.
eh I don't see it as that when I can use ctrl skip through content ive seen doesn't really feel like im playing the game 10 times. Even so I personally find the idea of harems boring and just takes me out of the game and the thrill of winning the girl over / finally getting them to be my girlfriend. As it just doesn't feel special to me when that is going to happen to the other 9 girls and they won't have a problem with sharing the MC / act like it's no big deal or it's normal most of the time. Not just that the relationships usually always feel really weird to me in harems in most games when the girls know about it. Doesn't mean I won't play them if I like the characters or story but just not for me at all.

That's why I agreed with him , I do get why many do like them as it's just a little bit more convenient not by much or it's just a fantasy they have and enjoy.

I'm not a fan of no strings attached

and I hate fuck-buddies

I have separate save files for each

and all I ask is the option to talk the girls I love into a monogamous relationship

with babies and everything
