Well in my case it is and it isn't. It is in my values to try and be nice and helping to everyone. I'd feel guilty anyway if I didn't. And it's not like I struggle to be "nice" it comes to me naturally.

But I also have no self esteem to speak of and I'm a starved for love needy son of a bitch so I will try to make people happy at my own detriment. I'm taking pills about it.
I used to be like that, I mean ...I still mostly am, I have no self esteem, or any of that, but I just don't care about most people any more. If you are cool with me, I will do almost anything I can to help you, but I am tried of getting stabbed in the back, a lesson I have to keep relearning every few years, so I try to keep the people close to me limited.
Mostly I found pot which keeps me in a good mood (and curb a lot of pain and other problems I have), I do my damnedest to avoid drama, and I work on things that make me happy.

I can feel that. I don't really mind people "using" me for stuff, if I was gonna do it anyway. But I do want people to like me. I try not to let tht dictate my befaviour, be too obvious and a lot of times it comes impulsively but eh.

Since we still have 6.5 chapters to go, I'll just assume someone steals the Vanguard there.
Let the speculations commence!
6.5? I thought the fourth chapter is almost complete, or at least it will appear this month.
Do you have any confirmation that it is only half done?

Morning!
I rejected Trisha on my canon playthrough, but professionally though, I'm not a monster ;)
I kept my options with Trish, never reject an opportunity to get precious infos in close combat contact.
I suspect that this is because, in fact, you have never had the pleasure of playing your own game.

And by that, I mean you have not had the pleasure of playing H5 with a newness/innocence of not knowing where your choices are going to lead.

I ALWAYS* go back and replay the game differently, or, at least, "scroll back" a bit to see where the other choice might lead... are you saying you don't play that way? With the twists and turns and numerous branches, we just get more bang for the buck (or I am hoping we get the bang anyway) with choices.

So the fact that so many of the hard core followers have played your game in every conceivable manner is really a testament to the developers skill.




*That is, when the game is worth a shit.
Well said sir!
This reminds me of a quote from Caméra Café (don't laugh, I'm a fan).
Very literal translation:
Sylvain: "Hervé, have you ever done something in your interest but against your conscience?"
Hervé: "Never! It's one of my core values!"
Sylvain: "Ok..." goes away
Hervé (alone): "My conscience always listens to my interest. It's a core value..." *cackle*
Ah ah ah, i'm a fan too.;)
Lovely!:love:
True. Being cognizant of that is the first step towards recognizing when it happens, although that recognition is often too late. Hindsight is 20/20? More like hindsight is a fucking electron microscope. Given the way Notty writes I wouldn't be surprised if the MC (and others) look back after they've solved the problem (assuming they do) and kick themselves for being blind to it in the first place.
Yeah, That's why i will never question myself again about the MC abilities... he is a human after all!
Rah lovely!!:love::love:
I don't want to think about Ophions, my head already hurting with enough mysteries and conundrums without that can of worms,

Remember that accident Notty mentioned. They crashed because they were obsessed about the landing gear.;)
Bad joke Akamari, you're better than this... let me help you.

Well done Sonia but you left the crew behind... are you Thea?:unsure:


And all these talks about core values,good or bad... good or evil?
Remind me my Nietzschean years, nein danke!

Still better than grinding doing chores for a shower peek though, no? :)
Is bloody awesome ;) Not just the great game with brilliant writing. A good story teller lets you escape reality for a while, a great story teller keeps you thinking long after story has been told. With a lot of games here I sit and find plot holes galore and pointlessly wait for the filler that never comes, with your game I find things that don't quite add up and go what am I missing? What could explain this?

Glad to be here, has already become my safe place to retreat to. Great group of people with good sense of humour.

Just notes lol, I can't fit the board in the taxi to work on while earning the rent.

My eyes!:eek:


Oh yes, a lot! I'm looking forward to it very much. It will be very interesting to roleplay from a different perspective. :)
Well I rarely play FeMC games on this site, since I do kinda dislike having to corrupt her or get raped by douchebags to see any action 99% of the time and it is easier to immerse with a male MC for me. (So I actually need a game to be better with a FeMC to get my interest to start with), but I most likely will have at least one or two play-throughs with a FeMC just to see what differences it makes.

And with about 20% different story too! :)

Yes! I'll definitely be playing it, will you be adding it at the end or sooner?
I thought the roadmap said at the end, no roadmap is final though till a game is finished. :p
Defo at the end. There's a bit to add on writing wise and render wise so not something I could do on a current chapter basis. Hell, it takes me long enough as it is! :)

Thank you :)

Yep, no plot holes for sure. Some stuff that maybe doesn't make sense yet but that's because either the MC doesn't know (or indeed you as the player may not have found it in your path) or because it's very subtle so far.

I do expect to catch a few of you out with things. No harm in that providing I'm fair of course. As long as at end of day I can say "See that? And that? And do you remember when X said Y?" I'll be happy.

Your mileage may vary of course :)

Same for me. No one makes the female MC games to my liking.:(

Which is why I'm excited about being able to play a female MC the way I want to play thanks to Notty. With her brilliant writing I'm sure it will finally fill the gap in adult games for me! :)

I have no problem with immersion as a female character. In general (including non-adult games here), I do choose male option first, if games give a choice, but I like to do second runs with a female. The important part, however, is to have different dialogues to an extent. I like when NPC's react differently based on the gender of the PC.:)
