It's just that there's no build up. The game same she's your bestfriend or was your bestfriend and is great person or whatever, but I just don't give a shit about her.

In fact I liked the museum girl more by far. Hell, even the bookstore girl was nice. She was rude at first but once you get to know her you realise end of day she's just a kid and is actually pretty cool. I'm glad that you didn't have to have sex with her and could choose to be just a good guy (even though MC's inner dialogue wasn't as wholesome).

I just wish there was an option to say no to sex with Nikki.

fair enough not wanting to have sex with her honestly I just wanted to be a friend for her my first time by just giving her the money without sex till she showed up again that changed my opinion of her alot. Which is gonna be a thing in a future update ( Rework of Chapter 1)also well I heard show off their friendship a bit more. You post just took me by surprise cause I would want to at least help her and be a friends towards her even if I had no interest but that's cause im a bit too nice I guess.

Yeah I'd have given her the money too because she helped the mc in the past in however little ways she could. I just wanted to give it to her no strings attached. Even though it kinda pissed me off that she pretended she didn't know about the money and was just there to hang out.

But after that one when she goes and gets her life fucked again, at that point I didn't give a shit anymore. Magnanimity has it's limits as well.

I understand that point of view I may not agree with you since part of it was out of her control cause of her ex boyfriend and she was stupid. Then she seemed like she was scared to ask for more help and just spiraled. Which I can understand not wanting to ask someone for more help after them helping you alot already. Which to me showed she was willing to fuck her life up to not take advantage of the MC even tho he would of helped 100%.

When she showed up again she wasnt even asking for money this time which is why I kind of disagree with you here. Granted we get no player choice in the manner but because she was just looking for a place to stay for a night or 2 didn't really seem like it was being too nice or anything. Since it was the MC's idea to give her a job as a way to giver her money since from what I recall she wasnt asking for anything more than a place to sleep for a few days.

Sure I will give you her cutting contact with him hurt the MC and was stupid because she was scared. But after her explanation I can understand the why. Again this probably comes down to me being too nice.

Yeah I guess when you hate a character everything about them is grating. Like how she says "man" even other sentence. Although I guess that's the writing.

At this point I'm just being unreasonable lmao.

I think that's what the upcoming remake of the first chapter aims to address. A problem I've seen that some writers struggle with is trying to get the player to care about a character the same way the mc does. Like how ME3 tried to say that Shepard was so traumatized by the death of a random kid in a vent who didn't want to take the help she offered. There was no time spent developing the relationship in order to justify the emotional attachment that they want you to feel. Now compared to the start of The Last of Us that actually took the time to build up the relationship between the two characters I actually cried when the game began proper.

I could never hate Nicki
She is the reason I even tried the game in the first place
She is beautiful and you can tell she is a really kind person
I find that hot

100% this not just she is hot but she isnt super model hot which I found more attractive the more I played. She just feels like any average hot female out there. Which I admit I wasn't sure how hot I would find her personally at first as I was used to other body types in other games and im picky when it comes to short hair but boy her average body build sure grew on me to the point she is one of the hotter LI out there to me.

I played the first two and half chapters and I have just one question. Whether I play this game or not might depend on the answer I guess.

Can you tell Nikki to go fuck herself? Like I mean not give her money or anything just ask her to take a hike. Can you do that? Because not only do I not care for her, her being in a scene actively makes me want to hit the skip button until she isn't.

Oh no. Is this what it felt like for WW1 vets just before WW2 started? :p

Chp 1's getting a rework after the next update I think. That will require everyone to start fresh and will shore up a lot of issues with the 1st chp, like giving better character development for Nicki, as well as allowing you to choose to decline Nicki's sexual advances and just help her out with the money.

Just FYI, I definitely never hated Nicki like some of you guys, but she wasn't particularly my favorite I will admit and her content in chp 1 stands out as a substantial weakness (compared to everything else in subsequent chapters). But her development as the chapters have been chugging along has been great and she's a really likeable, layered character with multiple notable sweet moments. You can wait until the chp 1 remake and give her another chance. :)

Yeah I only like LI with big breast if it matches their body type. But not Mega Milkers. even tho I dont want Nicki to have fake breast I was thinking on a dark path what if the MC would make her get fake ones as a option. Just for fun but would be to much work with extra renders just for that. Only reason I got to thinking that I recall she did work that was close to porn basically for a year to get by so got me thinking a dark path pornstar look path could be a fun thing for the Dark path MC to explore.
