After playing the latest update, I'm putting Mason on one of the "Must Protect" love interests list.

Also wish we could have done more with Gabby on this update. Oh well, time to wait for the last part of Chapter 4.

Or you can act like a person with some some morals and don't accept sexual favors in exchange for your help.
To me is not about pronouns, it's about helping someone or taking advantage of their situation.
This is not exclusive to Mason path by the way.

In real life, I absolutely agree with you. Don't take advantage of people, don't misgender people, and don't do thing's expecting anything back.

But in the game, it seems like the most content is gained by being decent but with a lecherous edge.
Meaning you help someone but also take what is offered. For example, the gabby situation, you get the option to eat her out and start her route if you pull her back down and start fondling her, IRL I would never do something like that to someone, but it was hot and the best option for the romance path.

It's a weird choice, but that is probably going to be my cannon playthrough, be nice, but take what's offered while trying to treat them right. If more content gets added for being an actual decent human being, I'll go that route instead.

Side note: I really, desperately want to have a conversation with Mason about how they see themselves and more to the point their sexuality. This would go a long way towards if I'd actually have a relationship with Mason or not.
As others have noted I have a feeling misgendering Mason and refusing to accept her as a him will probably lead to a bad path for Mason but I kind of hope we can influence them into a more they/them situation where he doesn't mind being a "good Girl" for Daddy.

I also still really want to know if Mason changing their backstory depending on the route is just Mason lying to us or if the choices actually change the character's backstory?

Of course everyone shoud play how they want. If you want to go full evil go for it although I think that route can end really bad for Guy in the end.
My cannon playthrough is good guy mostly. In that route you can lost some scenes like Gabby or Mason but others like Nikki or Ashe are open to sex because they like Guy.

EDIT: For anyone reading this, the Nicki patch was just a little joke I put out to play with the fans here. Be aware that installing it will revert your game back to version .375, so if you really want to see it, install it in a back-up copy of the game.

Well, gang.. Here it is. People have asked for it. Screamed for it. I've gotten private messages raking me over the coals, people pledging to never play the game again, and a smattering of poor reviews. I know when to admit I'm wrong.

So, here is.. . If you install this patch into your main FiN folder and allow it to merge with the existing "game" folder, it will overwrite existing script script files, and add new images to support a new path. With this path, you can choose to excise Nicki entirely from the story.

Just start from the beginning and, when you get to the choice to help her or not, choose "Tell her to fuck off."

Ok so I'm happy to be on Nicki's "FUCK OFF" path. That bitch left with that idiot. So now I'm fucking happy with this situation and I'm never taking that bitch back into my life again. This was the best ending to this game. I've torn so many blood vessels because of that fucking bitch so thank you for ending this game in the best possible way. (y)

People have asked the harem question a lot, and my answer is basically that it's a harem game, until you get to a point that a girl expects a monogamous commitment. For some girls that may be relatively early in the game, and for some it may be closer to the end. Some girls will be okay with an open relationship of some kind, and some won't. There's a tease to that effect in the next update, for one of the girls.

But, there's also the possibility that you could have an all-corruption playthrough, ending with a harem of girls that are motivated to be with you due to the promise of wealth, power, or simple security.

I try to keep the game, and the personalities of the girls, rooted in some kind of reality. So I just can't see a future where like.. Gabby and Madison are willing to share you, while making it consistent with their personalities. It'd just break the reality of the game. But, I do have certain girl combos planned, and there's one girl who's polyamorous and will be cool with you dating other people.

Then I have to play all corruption playthrough

i was only to the bookstore part, enjoying the game quite a bit, till i made the mistake of skipping ahead a bit to the brittani photo session. now the rest of the game seems completely pointless until there is more brittani content. i hope you make her a huge focus of the game moving forward. this game could easily be in the top three if you do. great job, amazing game.

Everyone has his pair of shoes. I found Brittany very generic and not so interesting, for example, while i was really hoping in some event with Gabby, which i didn't get, but yet, oh boy... i think the scene with Mason might have been the hottest so far.
