its probably fine as is but Lin specifically mentions being called dirty and whatnot so its a bit of a disconnect. the event itself i feel like doesn't have an issue but if you've got spare time and nothing to do maybe tweak the dialogue a little to reflect the new introduction better. Then again its a small scene that gets resolved within itself so i doubt most people will careNo you're right, she doesn't make fun of Lin's appearance much anymore, I didn't feel like that fit. Lin still wants to make her master happy and it's a bit of commentary on not needing to change ones self to make others happy, that can be done without trying to be fake. That's not the strongest event, but I think it still fits right?
Good luck sir, may the headpat be with you....always.Starting my 28th full-game run. Looking forward to it, especially due to the new dating system.
So I did find an issue related to Sylvia. I can't go to the sanctuary without an errorNo you're right, she doesn't make fun of Lin's appearance much anymore, I didn't feel like that fit.

This seems to be an error specific to your game. Corruption of installing incorrectly likely lead to this. You can install the update patch to fix this issue.So I did find an issue related to Sylvia. I can't go to the sanctuary without an error

It wasn't 3 hours, I was done in 1 an a half. if. Secondly, it doesn't matter how much is done to the system or earlier scenes, it's about the amount of content beyond the current save that really matters. And in terms of forward content, there wasn't much. Yes, several of the scenes were longer, but every one of the current storylines was just "teased". There was no real concrete momentum in any of them, just a lot of set up for the future. That's what I found irritating. They were all setups and none of them were continued. Like the Android's, "I'll need a few days for the transfer", you'd expect from how her story has worked in the past that you'd wait a few days and it'd auto trigger. Instead it was the end of her story.I'm not to sure on how to respond to this, but I'll try to be as diplomatic and non-confrontational as possible.
There was about three or so hours of new content in this update; revamped scenes from earlier in the game, an expanded gallery, advancement of several storylines, events with each girl, new lust scenes for the droid, Emma & Felicity in the dungeon together, twins pin-ups, a dating/Affection system...
It was a sizable lengthy update and one that I found very enjoyable. I guess we each have our own idea about what makes an update worth it, and we most certainly disagree on it.
Post Edit; 1100th post like. Thank you spacekun, fitting that it was a "facepalm." To me, that only means that my post was dead on target.
To be fair, the lust and dating systems are quite a lot.It wasn't 3 hours, I was done in 1 an a half. if.

Instead it was the end of her story.
So you can spend time on stuff from earlier in the game, you add or revise scenes, you can change systems and expand the gallery, but those are things you could release in a non-content update. A content update should be focused on just that, or you end up with a Half-length update like this one.
Everybody has their own pace and everybody looks at what they want to look at. There's a lot to do. A lot to read. the dating system dialogue is enough especially if you start from the beginning and see how the dates and the dialogue evolve from there.It wasn't 3 hours, I was done in 1 an a half. if.

Some people expect too much. Some people are happy with what they get, and others won't be satisfied no matter what you give them.This game has several types of content. If that makes sense.
You have story content. When you talk to the girls and advance their stories.
You have repeatable sex scenes content. All the repeatable sex positions and activities in the different outfits. The lust system too.
You have the dating & hanging out content. Hanging out at the beach, going to the café or the beach etc.
I think RoadWulf is talking about story content. Most of this update was on non-story content. The dating system, lust system and that sort of thing. So, if you don't care for that stuff the update was on the shorter side.
Have you tried checking the other rooms to see if she's there (especially downstairs)?Has anyone else encountered the bug where Ellen has disappeared from the lobby, but whenever you click on the desk, door behind desk or revisit the lobby her name pops up saying you have an email? It's persisted since the last version on my save I believe.
Check the laundry room or the hot springs first (most likely the hot springs), and see what happens. If she's not there, then it's probably a bug. I never personally had that one though.Has anyone else encountered the bug where Ellen has disappeared from the lobby, but whenever you click on the desk, door behind desk or revisit the lobby her name pops up saying you have an email?

I'm an absolute idiot and somehow didn't check the hot spring - which looks to have instantly solved the issue. God damn I feel stupid now.Check the laundry room or the hot springs first (most likely the hot springs), and see what happens. If she's not there, then it's probably a bug.

Many thanks!
Just keep making money from the bar (if you've built that up enough and invested in Advertising), and eventually you'll have enough to buy her. It takes a little time, just keep going.What do i need to do to have 7,5k to buy Sylvia ? God, she is so expensive !
I thought it was a clever way to add depth and characterization without much grind. You could easily use the same mechanic for the elves ("missions" instead of "dates", or some such).What does everyone think of the new repeatable date content? I know it's not exactly primary content, but I think it can make the game feel a lot deeper and like less of a grind.
It might be hard to notice unless you pay attention, but the locations are random and unlock throughout the story. And dialogue can be completely different depending on stats and friendship levels, so some things will only be seen on a fresh play through.
Lin and Android will probably get dates at some point as well \o/
