New player here - Is there (or will be later) a way in this game to skip some Li completely? Like, I don't want to do anything with Viola, will I have option to dump her later in game?

Considering this isn't a harem game, yes.

I know on the Dark path you can do dark path stuff and she goes away. I'm not sure if she will go away permanently or not if you dont. Cause I know there is good path option, dark path options and then there is just option in between that is being mean or an asshole. So im not 100% sure if she goes away if you choose the options that are in the middle and just mean to her or not.

From what I understand it was a joke because of some hate she got or something. I admit I have a bias opinion on her as she is my favorite in this game. But if you want a spoiler reason as to why.

You give her money because her boyfriends puts her up to it after putting her in debt even tho she was against it since she actually sees the MC as a friend first. Then she was stupid enough to give the money to her the boyfriend which put her in even more debt. After finding out all the things her boyfriend did to put her in a bad spot she broke with him. A year later she showed up after having no contact with the MC.

Here is where people really dislike her because they act like she is a gold digger when in fact she was only asking for a place to sleep for a few days. It was the MC's idea to giver her money by giving her a job. She fucked her life up and got into a bad spot instead of asking the MC for more money and help as she was scared and didn't want to ruin their friendship as she didnt want to take advantage of his kindness again since she sees values the friendship more. That's just a short summary but either people see her as a gold digger when she wasn't or they dont accept her reasons for going no contact with the MC for a year since that hurt him.

Cheers. Weird that people have such an issue with her considering some of the other characters in these games

I haven't started yet but what is people's problem with Nicki that they warrant a patch to remove her?

Nicki's detractors tend to come in a few different stripes:

1. Folks who consider her to be manipulative and a bad friend to Guy based on how she chooses to dress when asking for help

2. Folks who consider her actions while she was in Florida to be an NTR storyline like she dipped off to star in her own VN

3. Folks for whom her story of why she was gone and what happened during that time doesn't pass the smell test

4. Folks who just straight up hate colored hair and tattoos

5. Folks who wouldn't be happy if they were hung with a silk rope

I wouldn't go as far as to say that I'm Nicki's biggest fan, but I've often been astounded at how much hate she gets. She has her faults, clearly, but some people just see her as outright malicious. In fact, I might be in category 3 as I believe that there is more to the story of what happened with her boyfriend, Florida man, and the mafia I guess. Seriously, all those events could be their own DLC like "The Student Loan." In any case, the Nicki removal patch was the best trick that was played since the Devil convinced us that he doesn't exist. I laughed so hard that I probably broke a rib.

Good points, had a good fun unleashing my power with removal patch also.
for me the hate is mostly because you cant tell her to fuckoff. Lis that are Canon and have baggage bring a lot of controversial takes.

I am not exactly pleased as punch with Nicki's reasoning and her decision making herself, but I don't see it as reason enough to dismiss her entirely. IRL, I'd tell her to fuck off, sure, but in the game, I want to believe that it would be worth it to help her out.

After all, it's all fictional, nothing in this game is actually happening for real. Some of these critics of Nicki are immersing themselves too deeply to get over the "deception".

I see where you are coming from and understand it maybe im too nice and forgiving / understanding.

idk if this was me in real life I wouldn't tell Nicki to fuck off only because she wasnt asking for money the second time just a place to stay and that isnt a big deal to someone you know to me. Even if I moved on got married or something a few days wouldn't be a big deal and it's the least I could do to someone I considered a friend at one point. Not like the friendship ended cause she backstabbed you or stole either so be easier for me to do that much for her.

If she was someone I actually liked as at least a friend I wouldn't want to be to quick to write her off either. While I may be hurt or angry she ghosted you for a year id want to try to help a little I just wouldn't give money unless I felt like being nice and she didn't ask. That and I would want to see if your friendship is at least salvageable because to me friendships are precious especially if it's someone you enjoy spending time with.

No one cares about the pathetic fragile people in number 2 though

tldr; Working on Brittani's scene now, and it's all going nice and smoothly! I still need to finish up Nicki's scene, but I was getting a little bogged down in it, so I decided to switch to some of the 'main path' content. If I get discouraged or annoyed with a scene, it tends to result in me sitting around and pouting, instead of being productive. Switching to a different part of the project keeps things fresh, and helps me stay motivated. There's a lifehack for all the folks out there with ADHD.

yeah Honestly had no idea Brittani was gonna have a pornstar path either. I assumed if something like that was gonna be a thing would be Nicki or Viola. But makes sense since she did those hot modeling scenes.

She'll have two main paths, depending on how the player wants to guide her acting career. The porno path will be more of an explicitly corruption/evil path.. But, I do want to set it up so that Brittani could potentially get what she wants from it. After all, some porn stars have made the transition to legit acting roles..

We don't have to share her in porn route right?

Definitely not. I have enough people mad at me!

I know some people will wonder how MC can be a beloved philanthropist and a porn star, but to that I say, "How often do you really see the guy's face in a porno?"

But CAN we choose to share her in "porn path" *fingers crossed*

 

[Joshy92]

I love Brittani's look in that render
She is a beautiful woman

 

[Dark Silence]

If he did that, the mere thought of it being on an optional path will start a war.

Well you will if they have even the most flimsy "plot", but not all porn does and even that can be worked around, if he just picks the right roles. Motorcyclist who keeps his helmet on, doctor wearing face mask, hockey player, etc...

 

[Joshy92]

Guys I'm not greedy I'm only going to pursue
Nicki, Mason, Brittani, Gabby, Cassie, Ashe, Carolina, Pepper, Viola & Risa romantically
The rest I'll be friends with

Oh, and I might also try and woo Wren I haven't decided yet

Now I wish the MC was bald for when I play this route as I'm 100% gonna name him Johnny Sins

What's the difference between normal download and vanilla?

 

[NewTricks]

There is a real-life creepy, old, busted rich guy who almost exclusively does POV porn where he takes the girls out to the beach, Los Vegas, etc, while wearing a GoPro and they try hard not to look like they are in a hostage video when it is time to fuck. His name is Kim Nielson. Look up ATK girlfriends it is a hoot. The vids come off as unintentionally creepy and are totally something Guy could get away with.

 

[soprano31]

What's the difference between normal download and vanilla?

Friends Indeed (Vanilla) - The patreon friendly version that is void of any of the controversial tags/kinks, it's very vanilla compared to the other version. (This version can't be patched, the dark content simply does not exist within this version)

Friends In Need (unpatched) - It is also void of most controversial tags/kinks I'm pretty sure, and I'm not sure what the actual differences are between this version and Friends Indeed. (Probably is a bit less vanilla than the other version)

Friends In Need (patched) - Enables ALL the tags/kinks that aren't patreon safe to the extreme. This includes: sexual assault, rape, incest, blackmail, and the other really dark content. (I don't categorize incest as dark content by the way)

This is all just my understanding of it, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm really not certain how different the unpatched base game and the vanilla version actually are, I know that both are void of certain content, that's all I know really.

If I may recommend a fetish for future updates.
Multiple Orgasm torture.

Nothing is hotter than forcing a girl to cum over and over and over until it’s hurts and she begs you to stop making her cum but you just keep going and going.


Overstimulation is hotttt.
