hmm.. i didn't change anything regarding the ui to the older builds
Yes we can XD
I don't want increased text box. I feel like this one chops enough of the background as it is.
True that, but it's even more than that. At this point in the game virtually every bit of dialogue -not only in the sex scenes, I mean- it's in some way modified by the player's choices and Ash's current state. Take in consideration this very minor example in the code:
Well, to be fair, you have to make allowances for what TV Tropes likes to call "Gameplay and Story Segregation." I mean, sure, you could read this as Eric is self-absorbed, he's only doing this Africa thing as a way to pad his CV, etc. etc. and he doesn't much care that he's leaving a relatively long-term, steady relationship just so he can have a bit of adventure or have something to look good on his resume, or whatever his motivations might be for doing this.
That's one reason why I didn't want to do a walkthrough. A walkthrough locks you on just one experience of the game and all these small differences are ignored. And many of these decisions are not even necessary to reach these scenes.
I figured it out. Whether or not you get the music video scene is now tied to your choice to "embrace your Instagram persona". That's the only way I've been able to trigger the route with pure Ash.
Doesn't it make sense that someone who doesn't feel comfortable with instagram would not want to dance halfnaked in a rap-video? Also if you told Tyrone you wouldn't do it with a black man, you won't get invited to the shot at all. So that choice is meaningful.
Yea, that's not an issue. I believe you won't even be able to get the interracial fetish choice later on in the game if you say no to him in the bar.
I don't know, I feel both things are not related: Ash can be interested in the interracial fetish but not in the limelight. With the videoclip being part of the "seeking fame route" in my mind it makes sense that she would avoid it even if a black dude she could be interested in is involved, maybe she can hook up with Tyrone (or Jacob, or another new black NPC) later, who knows, but not in that context; as she also wouldn't do the photoshoot in this update and that doesn't mean she will never be interested in photographers, lol.
Yea, what I don't like about it is you can have almost a completely pure game and choose the Instagram route and all of a sudden she's just taking semi nude pics and doing half naked rap videos. Just seems rushed and too much of a jump. Hopefully Eva will go back and address this.I don't know, I feel both things are not related: Ash can be interested in the interracial fetish but not in the limelight.

I think the key here is that we -as players- have to understand that when choosing to "avoid the limelight" we're not only ending the instagram career but all (or many) of the events related to the popularity career path; for example the same happens when Ash chooses not to deal drugs, you leave that "career" and stop having scenes related to Wilson and the gang (with some exceptions), but that doesn't mean Ash will not be interested in latin guys in the future. It's a game about choices, they had to have consequences... You can't have your cake and eat it too
Well, not necessary. I mean, you can have a Good Ash still doing the Instagran pics but in her underwear and not nude, and that chooses not to do the videoclip or do it but not hook up with Tyrone, or to not take part of the photoshoot or do it wearing lingerie instead of nude, etc...
Maybe, who knows. She is constantly making small changes to some things in the previous updates and sometimes even do big changes in the early game, like when she retconned the Eva corruption path or changed the sprites and all previous scenes of Iris or Eric.
