Am I the only one who likes to have one save in games like this? I feel like my decisions are more important if I only have the one.
And it will be the same when we need to restart.
I only ever have one save in every game now. I go for the most content possible, without considering the consequences, and bracing for the drama. that's when you get to know the LIs the most.
when I started AVNs, I had multiple saves, but the current AVN landscape is pretty much just "cut content" when you are not on a path. it's rare to see an actually good non-route content. BaDIK is the reference bar to pass for that kind of content, especially with Sage as a friend. this game manages to be above that bar with quite a bit of margin.
yeah I can't ever do 1 save for 2 reasons. I am a bit of completionist so I like to see most of the content unless there is a LI or something I really do not like or want to see. But that might be because I don't self insert but rather I see the MC as a tool and rarely care about them and I play from a spectator or viewer point of view. #2 with a game like this there is no way in hell I can just pick only 1 LI as I perfer solo paths if im picking 1 path / save to play im gonna be faithful to that one LI. I won't even flirt and get on another path even if I never have sex.
My take on completionist for AVNs is to seek every single line of content that was written in every alternate branch.
I don't self insert either, even though I do rename the MC. There is a good amount of empathy though. understanding motives and backstory for each character is one of the most important thing to me.
I agree with Dessolos, you'll be missing out on a lot of content. For this one I have 3 saves for the moment, one for Nicki, one for Ashe (though there isn't really an established romance yet like with Nicki but maybe later on), and one where I don't commit to anyone and just play the field (no raping people, just in a wholesome way)
what do you mean there isn't really an established romance for Ashe ? there is. she is pretty much in love with MC and almost lets it slip. she is also very possessive of him, especially after the trauma from her ex cheating. you don't get the official label, but she behaves like it and expects it from you too. you literally met her parents in an official manner, and her best friend knows all about you. what more do you need ?
sure you can, but not sure you can romance Nicki properly and for her to agree to be your girlfriend if you do that... it's possible, haven't actually tried it, but then you'd be cheating on her, which I won't do on that route.
when not being on the girlfriend path, she does say that she is ok with MC having one other girl. so, because of the unbalanced relationship and how she is with her boyfriend, she might forgive and let it go even on the girlfriend path. as long as MC is still the same loving and caring guy she wants, it might not be that important to her that he sees other girls. though it will sting when she finds out
I honestly didn't really think. I just thought Nicki would be okay with it. Neon said we can bang everybody without consequences, didn't he?
she is not ok with it. she is when you don't have the girlfriend label. even brent didn't cheat on her
if you go all romantic route on her, and the way MC presents it when he asks, there is implied exclusivity and loyalty. it's never said clearly, so he could be able to bend the truth and she could accept it. long term though, it's a risky bet.
maybe Neon said that for the current situation, but it might change in the future.
It's a state of mind, some people just don't like to cheat, especially when it comes to characters they care about.
I go for maximum drama
that's where the writer's skills are truly tested.
Damn guys you have me a bit nervous now. I just assumed Nicki would be totally cool and maybe even like that I banged Risa & Mason.
I'm going to have to think things through when we restart.
she might ok with threesomes and stuff where she is involved after being asked, but you are doing it all behind her back.
Mason says it. "I can keep a secret". when you do stuff with him with Nicki just waiting downstairs. it's fucked up
both Mason and Risa will interact with your official girlfriend knowing they helped you cheat. especially Mason's loyalty could waver if Nicki is the one that helps him.
