I can't believe it's a question that was even asked lol. I mean, do you guys see a handsome muscled stud called Jamal or Tyrone in this game?

I wish more monogamous games would let you set up one of the LIs you don't pick with the best friend character, but I guess that still counts as meta-NTR. Or maybe quantum-NTR really because it is there in the game even though you can never see it. ;) :LOL:
(I had Lucy & Steve in mind, in case you were wondering.)

This is supposed to take place in the USA, at some other version of Hollywood, right? Every time they call "sweaters" "jumpers" it takes me right out of the game. That is UK usage, not US usage. Here, a jumper is a sleeveless dress.

There's a couple of other minor things at that, and further in the story it wouldn't bug me as much, but this is right at the beginning (I've just started a new runthrough yesterday).

Honestly, I thought I'd fixed that a long time ago. I have now changed all instances of 'jumper' to 'sweater.'

There's another big one you'll probably notice eventually, it first shows up near the start of the game and repeats once in a while. This one isn't a vocabulary difference though. ;)

Wow! Thanks! I didn't expect any fix, and really it's a minor quibble for such great writing. It just struck me on each runthrough.

Usually I am really good at "suspension of disbelief" when I read, and sure, some things are off here and there in many games. Boots vs. Trunks, Lifts vs. Elevators/Escalators, wheel or cars on the wrong sides. Not that big a deal if I'm already sunk in to the story.

So you can suspend belief that a late teenage girl has the personality of a 10 year old but you can't translate jumper to sweater? That's what takes you out of the game?? Fair enough but, to be honest, I find a lot of UK references in games. I'm starting to think that the AVN writers headquarters is in London. (Go Arsenal!) :)

I've never been "in" the Daz store, but what I've seen in the AVNs I've played is that most of the assets have an European flavor to them. Are the artists mostly from there and are just building what they know? Like car license plates are usually the wider short ones. Advertising of sports on TV is usually always soccer. Words on background signs have extraneous 'U's in them. That sorta thing. :)

Also, while you're at it: during the scene where Charlotte is telling Lucy about seeing the MC's tattoo (in the limo), she says this happens earlier that morning (Saturday), but it actually happens on Wednesday.

Totally possible. Then again maybe they're all written in Chinese and they use the same auto-translator which always picks jumper instead of sweater. :)

I find Emma's infantilism a bit overdone, but not outside the realm of possibility consider how sheltered she's lived since her mother's incident, and how she's being groomed and isolated by Zac.
