mmmm Seeing Red and exacting Vengeance are two different things...
i like playing this because of the story line keeps you going. Not everything will end up roses if you think this should be the choices. I know of 2 times in my life this story hits home. 1 was my best buddy all through growing up clear up till I left for the Army. His oldest sister had a affair with her choir teacher. He got all bent out of shape and tried to get her out of that relationship. She hasn't talked to him since then and they got married that was like over 35 years ago. The other one was a younger cousin that had affair with her English teacher. Her family found out and ruined his career. She left and they haven't heard from her in over 28 years. So better think before you do anything about it if it happens to you. Consequences
Ok Lets put this into context...
Actually "Seeing red" and "exacting vengeance" is that far from each other considering that someone whose "seeing red" will more likely lead them to commit an act of violence, which can eventually be chalked up to vengeance.
Yeah, anyone who thinks that the solution involves violence — and that includes Ptolemy, who suggested on Discord that it was his preferred method but that Viit was fighting him — is acting like a dim teenager. The most important thing is that Haley's not revictimized, and punching Klaus in the face (then ending up in jail) is one way that happens. But we also have a new concern: not victimizing Asian Haley, assuming she hasn't been already. The MC's being really horrible to her right now. She deserves better, especially because her stepdad is a sexual predator.
It would definitely be satisfying if another route is added.
I agree that MC going to jail would destroy Haley, she'd probably never forgive herself. As far as MC goes.. he's just looking out for his sister and is trying to get the truth out by any means. Of that was my sister I'd do the same personally. I get that the other Haley is a victim as well but she's not his sister or his responsibility, it's harsh but..
I'm not. You're the only person here talking about "support." I never said support/patronage dropped (at least recently), in fact I said the opposite, multiple times........
Because the MC is supposedly his own character and not just a stand in for the player, he is way too hot headed and a dumbass to not be going to jail, end of story. If we as players have some kind of control over the situation, then the MC would be acting out of character if he doesn't do something rash and stupid.
Let me break this down for you...
Ya... She does... thats why she should know... if he hasnt done this to her already that is... I totally agree with you.
As satisfying as watching MC get violent with Klaus would be I think doing something like that would work against us in the long run with Haley as it was recently pointed out. Regardless of whatever happens with the Klaus story line, he can't go unpunished for what he's done. For this situation to be resolved without anything happening to him would be the biggest spit to the face towards the players.
Its like this:
I don’t get why it’s so difficult to understand that seeing red... can lead to vengeance lol. *Guy walks in on his wife in bed with another man* *He’s now seeing red* *Kills then both* *Vengeance achieved*
Maybe lol but Haley 2.0 needs to know that her step-father's a sexual predator who targeted a young girl.
Put yourself in MC's shoes and then tell me you'd still think that. It doesn't matter what Haley wants or doesn't want. Klaus cannot go unpunished especially with the game hinting at him still having his nasty obsession towards Haley. In real life guys like him can't be allowed to keep roaming the streets. What if it turns out he's also abusing Haley 2.0 as well? Should he still be allowed to go about his way just because Haley says she doesn't care what happens to him or forgives him or something like that?
The primary objective in dealing with Klaus is to not further damage Haley, so what she wants or doesn't want is what matters. MC going berserk like some lunatic is just going to make the situation worse. Would damage MC and Haley's relationship, get MC in legal trouble, probably get him fired etc.
I wasn't strictly talking about violence but any sort of actions taken against him would work. My point being Klaus has to be punished for what he's done, and that the game can't end without him getting his comeuppance. What his punishment ends up being will be up to the Devs.
