I'm not sure if the MC has even met Tessa, in my mind she's certianly a background character. As for the too many LIs then if I was calling the shots then there are loads of them that I'd sacrifice as just minor secondary characters, before I'd cut Isabella... hot tub installer girl, cafe girl, clothes shop girl... Ashe, though it's a bit late there, but she has some crossover appeal with Britt... maybe one leg girl.
I'd have focused on Nikki, Mason, Isabella & Britt, and Gabby... maybe with the receptionists in there if there if there were slots to spare... seems like a good mix.
Well, as always, in due time
Personally, I love all the characters so far and if Neon could clone himself, I'd beg for more
I appreciate the dark stuff for those that really like it but it's not my cup of tea. It's cool that the vanilla stuff is really compelling as well though. Ashe is an amazing girlfriend and going to set you up with her best friend so that's aces. Brittany is really sweet and Gabby is a little minx. Nicky just being a good friend with benefits rounds the group out really well.
Yeah, I was surprised how much I liked the romance stuff. Usually, it's so poorly written that I just have to roll my eyes and go make the dark choice because at least it's fun in like a shocking forbidden fantasy sort of way. But the romance in this game is excellent, it's converted me and made me realize I do like romance, it just has to be done right. Plus, it helps that the girls in this aren't super vanilla or too virgin or anything. That stuff tends to bore me, I like more experience and kink.
You are better off playing and finding out for yourself. For 2 reasons her content is getting a rework after the next update I believe. That and the community is split on her. Some like her and some don't you are better off making the decision yourself.
But if you really want to know here it is. But it is better explained in the game than what I can do and well I have a bias and I do like her she is one of my favorite LI in this game.
She made alot of bad decisions that all started with her EX boyfriend, which lead her asking the MC for money even tho she didn't want to but her ex kind of convinced her / talked her into doing it. (this decisions getting changed so you can give her money without sex). Then she didn't want to take advantage of the MC again asking for more money when everything went to shit cause of her ex. So she ghosted him for 3 months trying to get by without any help , failing at OF and eventually got paid by some weirdo just to take pictures and tattoo her self ( she never had sex with him). She gets tricked again thinking she would do one photoshoot for some creep and pay off all her debt that was cause by her ex. However it ends up being a porno shoot. She sneaks out of the back window and runs away and ends up at our door since she remembered we lived close by.
In my own head canon, she fucked him and submitted to the porno shoot too. It's more sad that way imo and makes for a sweeter love story. A lot of guys are turned off by "spoiled fruit" or w/e, but I see it as another wound to lick.
It does matter to the sad weirdos who get so upset over a fictional woman. They have never heard of the concept of character development. They also apparently don't think that people can change or improve.
Even when chapter 1 does get reworked, people will still find something else to complain about. They already have a negative bias towards Nicki, so they will latch onto any little thing to bitch about at length.
Yeah.. tbh, I try not to judge too harshly how people prefer to play the game or view the characters, as I think the ones with attitude are the main problems. But, I guess some guys have had real experiences of betrayal, and I can only imagine how unfun that is to dredge up when you're trying to relax. Or, maybe they just fear betrayal which ofc extends to the content they consume, that's unfortunately a common feeling these days. I personally think they jump the gun wayyyy too hard on Nicki; for me, it's pretty apparent she's a good person that just has an immense task of standing up for herself. I've seen a number of women like that; known a few, too.
