Don't agree, quite. Yes, she's definitely thinking above her skill level in that regard--whether she's going to adjust her expectations, increase her skills, or both, I don't know, but I hope she does at least one of these, because if she continues as she has done, she's going to get everyone arrested or killed.

But, leaving aside that she'd view it as a personal defeat (and there's no chance she'd willingly accept that, and there's no way the game's going to have MC treat her as a slave even though she technically is), what good does it do anyone for her to take up streaming again? Money in MC's pocket? By this point in the game, he has plenty. H-scenes with Maria? There's no shortage of them (though I admit I wouldn't mind more--while she isn't my favorite LI, she's probably the best-looking to me). Just something to keep her out of the way? That'd really suck for the story, especially with who her mother is. No, she has to be an active part of the resistance. How that's going to happen I don't know, but I don't see that her being a streamer is going to help.
Yeah, she just needs some less risky job ideas. lol

The real question, is how she perceives those events. Does she think of them as a huge success because of the end result, or does she see the flaws of how it went wrong, and want to do better?

What end result of the second event would have left her thinking it was a success? Unless it's that she got to steal the bracelet. The first, yes, it did end (thanks to Nia) with freeing Cira. But did they get anything at all out of the second?

Really, in anything like an IRL scenario, she's worthless as a spy. Cromwell and Beaumont know, if not exactly who she is, at least that she's closely connected with MC. Cromwell and MC both know who MC is, though they may not have made all the same connections. There's no way, going forward, that Maria gets anything out of them (or Cromwell's wife). There's no way she infiltrates anything where they're present. In terms of the kind of stuff she's been shooting for, she's cooked, and extremely lucky not to be in prison or worse.

There are, of course, plenty of things she could do on a smaller scale. Seducing/distracting a guard, for example, should be a piece of cake (even if it raises the unholy spectre of NTR). But she's aiming for the stars, and as yet hasn't been willing to do the work (which would be mostly-boring to watch in any event).

So I don't know what she's going to do going forward. If she continues as she has the last couple of events, either she gets in serious trouble (which would likely be very serious given her status as a half-elf), or the story gets extremely implausible--suspension of disbelief only goes so far. But she needs to be an active part of the resistance. So I guess I'm looking forward to seeing what form that's going to take.

The "success" would be learning the fact that Cornwall has a half-elf daughter. One that very well might not be registered correctly.

But I agree, she is going to have a hard time going forward, especially with Archon watching everywhere there is a camera. She really should have started smaller. She needs to avoid people who know her, for sure.

Haven't been able to for a while. Used to be a kitchen event.
But wouldn't it add to game play if did have it? only makes sense. I've played this game for a long time, but there has been times I wondered why it didn't have a collection of type ( kitchen with Lin have her show/ or remove clothing) but hadn't ever seen "take". only collection I have seen was photos (pin-ups), but a Panty collection would add alot to game. just an observation.

Unless Runey adds a feature to sell them online like pinups, I don't think it really adds much unless that's a kink you enjoy. For it to be an actual game play mechanic to add playtime, you'd need more than simply a menu option telling them to hand them over. Pinups at least require some initial leveling in stats and serve a function as early game money should you choose to sell them.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea - but currently as is, I think it needs more time in the oven to become something more.

The problem was that, for example, I took them, and never gave them back, but she would then have events where she would be wearing them, and he didn't want to have to remember to have two versions of every event to work with it.

Lin is a maid, she literally clean the whole hotel, do the laundering and then ask yourself if finiding a pair of underwear is that difficulty for her. That is even more true for Android. I'm absolutly sure they both know where your porn stash is.:WeSmart:

But she is a good girl, she would never take them back when she knows her master didn't want that. :sneaky:

No one else has mentioned it, so inclined to believe it's the manager. Are you able to use a torrent? RPDL has one.

probably. some of the sources have a size limit. try downloading it from the itch store.
