I assume this is the bet in Ch 2 when MC didn't know it was Kelly? I took it.
I did on my latest, it may not hold true depending on what happens in the next scene...

Ofc I took it. It's Kelly and Chris ain't winning!

I did not. I challenged her attitude, but then I let it go. I didn't feel the need to compete for a girl that I've never seen, nor to puncture her ego in this particular manner.
I simply didn't have enough information at that point to go with it for the fun of it, which I maybe would do if I knew anything about the girl (in addition to Chris' recount). Also, I was not interested in Chris enough on my main playthrough to do it in order to get closer to her.
I was of course ignoring the player knowledge of what Kelly looks like and who she is, when making this decision. To be honest, it would have been much more fun if Kelly had not been revealed to me before I actually met her. I would have probably got a good laugh from seeing that I dodged the bullet.

Why? I don't think the player needs extra protection over the MC. I would actually call this being unfair to my character.
I agree, it wouldn't feel so much unfair than freaking hilariousWhy? I don't think the player needs extra protection over the MC. I would actually call this being unfair to my character.

And we can say that with hindsight now peeps have got used to the way I do my game. Now, you'd be a -lot- more cautious. Back then it felt more like an unfair trap - and not everyone would be comfortable with the path.

I mean if the main character can be blindsided, so it should be for the player.
It's pretty obvious from the way Chris talks that there is something fishy about this, so although the player wouldn't know what it is, he would be able to make a calculated decision based on his observation. A bit of a missed opportunity, to be honest.

Tidying up the first three chaoters a bit as well for this one. Few loose ends, minor typos etc and shifting all the credits to the end of the chapter as opposed to credit, hit a key sorta a thing.

Not everyone would be comfortable with suddenly having a wager re his sister going on.
*made her judgement call*
So funnier for those who would find it so - not funny in the slightest for those who don't.

They can cancel the wager, can't they? It's not like they are doomed to go with it. It could end up with them just being pranked on. No hard feelings, no?
Well, it's your call ultimately. It isn't much of an issue to me anyway. The player always knows more than the characters, if not during the first playthrough then for the next one, and the next one, and the next one, and the... You get it

in ME2, my favorite weapon was the one used by pressing F, caution ain'tmy style...
to be fair... when on the rescue mission with Chris. I told her I like her but kept the wager... no guts no glory

Obviously, but this is about the first time experience, the canon playthrough. Most will simply declare the playthrough with most convenient consequences as canon for them, it's of course up to everyone to play however they like, but for people like me who like making the choices and accepting the consequences, it's best to know as much as the MC does. It's unfair to know more in the first run.
Like I always say to devs, all revelations need good timing.

Notty, notty, notty....
how sweet of you to be concerned over a bet.. almost as if you were trying to distract us from the real problem... if you remember, back in the days you mentioned how a choice in chapter 2 could compromise the whole mission... my brain got me thinking.... Trisha is the only one thinking the problem is within the software, while she could be wrong, I wouldn't exclude the possibility that she's right, not because of feminism but because it's the opinion of 1 sceintist versus 2 scientists so it would be interesting if someone specialised in geology would make a better diagnosis of the problem than mike the software guy. also if the LT doesn't go on the mission he will still dscover the batteries thingy... sure you like choices and paths but the key moments are fixed points in time... and while the LT chases a wild goose, Thea messes with the signal. on the other hand, if Trisha is Thea listening to her and even acepting her advances might be the downfall

Seems to me people react strangely to the in-game results of their actions. Because it's a game, they expect their character to get away with most everything... Well, tough! Bad shit happens when you do stupid, irresponsible things. They have to learn that actions have consequences.
I like the concept (and there's Becca, soDropping a series of "intermission" cards in their place.

Witcher 1 combat is pretty much a point and click system. The story is really good but everything else (graphics and VA included) didn't age very well.
Mass Effect 1 also has a great story and better voice acting than the first Witcher but dated graphics and gameplay.
In the end it depends on which you like more: a space sci-fi or medieval fantasy setting? Because both are really good series (i would start with ME).
Yen is like a forever young girl. Torrid sex but very immature personality, to the point that i keep thinking "why do i need to follow someone who tries to berate me at every opportunity she has?".
I quite like how much more mature Triss is in the games, owning up for her actions and learning from them, so when the decision came in W3 it was pretty much a easy choice my Geralt picked Triss. ♥♥♥♥
Wait... You don't think Chris would try to kill the doctor and disguise it as a acident? *Looks at Notty...
I don't have a cannon run yet but on my first time (without knowing yet that Kelly was the protagonist's sister) i didn't take the bet.
Mostly because it was very obvious Chris was trying to bait me into that bet and she looked very confident she was going to win, like she knew something i didn't, and Annie warned me about bets with Chris after i agreed to boxing with her.
Plus a earlier scene showed Kelly saying her surname (the same as MC) and Chris going all "interesting" like she made the connection.
On my second run i accepted because i want to know how(or if) i am going to escape the mess.

there's also Dragon Age: Origins... it has tons of choices and consequences.... I remember having to re-do the whole circle quest(fade included) because I didn't want to let Isolde sacrifice herself...if only companions conversation had consequences like in H5... sup morrigan, mages are cool and should be free... few minutes later... Sten, so your people thinks of mages as beasts? that's cool
