VN Ren'Py Hillside [v0.16.1] [DarkBlue]

Not sure why I was quoted since I made a comment about the MC himself and not about anything that happened.
But seems I should clarify so you understand why I said the MC was either thick or oblivious.

Quickest way to prove my point is the last update MC talks to the cop Tells him he had to cancle the date because of the stalker.
yet totaly fails to notice the two slip ups in the cop's responce and not hushed slip ups but strait out loud enough to hear slip up's.
So ok you can forgive the MC missing one but two slip up's thats a bit of a stretch and he fails to notice when the cop gets control of himself he still seems keen she shouldn't miss the date.

Don't know about you but when I talk to friends or family or anyone I tend to instantly pick up of any slip up's.
I may not make total sence of them but I do notice if its a friend or family and I will pull them on it.

But despite that the best bit comes when the police have been after this Stalker for months and months with no idea and no clue.
Even when the MC starts to talk to the cop there's no knew's But the moment he talks to the cop about cancelling the date that the cop himself seems to want her to go on the stalker is suddenly not only known but arested.

And the only thing the MC finds strange is that a stalker would pay someone else to take pictures of who he's stalking.
And that is the only thing he actually get right it is strange.
It's just not the only strange thing thats happended he just hasn't notice any of the other stuff.

So where I would be more than happy to have the MC on myside in a fight I personally wouldn't trust him to look after my bike to stop it being nicked.

Still love the game though.

No, but she will be scared the fuck of him now.

Yup, it will be used as a "narrative obstacle" to slow down the MC-Charlotte romance that has been building in the last two updates. I suspect that Suzi's and possibly Emma's paths will be given time to catch up with Charlie's and Lucy's.

I was also wondering when we might be given more info on MC's military history, since he made such ominous comments about it regard how Emma might react if she knew the truth. That might be around the corner after how this last one ended.

Just started playing and the only thought I have so far is...

I can't really argue with you on your points, but he was not hired to be a PI and solve any case, he was hired as a body guard and has done a good job so far. The dirty cop was the one that was supposed to be solving the case but it was a rigged game from the beginning.

I agree he's not hired as a PI but a you say a bodyguard.
But to be good at their job's bodyguards need to be alert, need to be able to think, need to be observant, he need to pay attention. he may have done his job well sofar but if I remeber right a lot of its been more from luck.
just happening to be in the Right place at the right time more than anything I like the MC I do but he aint much of a thinker.

I respectfully disagree, for the reasons I outline in my earlier post. I see what you mean, but to keep the story focused on the Lloyd family and their relationship with MC, they will treat it as self-defense.

Edit: You could argue that it was mutual combat, in which case self-defense cannot be argued. But given the evidence that would be available for trial and Charlie's testimony, good luck convincing a jury.

I get it... and I read your post. It was well expressed and it made sense, especially the part about not using his gun, but I am generally of the opinion no one has the right to take another person's life unless it is a you or them situation. We can all argue, or just give me the beloved facepalm, what is self-defense and what is not, but at the end of the day, I will maintain there is rarely a need to kill someone and in this case, there was no immediate threat. "Could" there have been some future threat? Yes. "Could" all of their lives been in danger? Yes, but it's just as likely they could have found another less lethal way to deal with it. It's like the old argument, if you could go back in time and kill (insert favorite mass murderer here) before they committed a crime, would you do it?

I don't know what the right answer it, but for me, my answer would be no. If the dev had given the player the option, I would have also chosen no... but that's just me.

And yes... you're probably right about the approach the dev will take.

I get it. You're making the moral case, whereas I am making a strict legal case. I'd like to think that, had it been me, I wouldn't have killed him either. I agree that I would have preferred a choice there.

Also, if I ever facepalm anyone, I feel I owe them an explanation. Just seems the courteous thing to do.

If only this is a harem...

Hillside was already one of the best VNs on the site but this update moved it up a few notches. I love how the dev deals with the characters with love and extreme care. All the relationships are fleshed out and the latest episode moves the narrative enough to make it way more interesting. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Is hillside a harem?

Nope. It never will be.

Just remember, guys:

everytime a dude comes in this thread and asks for a harem path/ending / whether Hillside is a harem game, a fluffy kitten dies.

Let's save fluffy kittens. Let's fight the harem dudes.

Remember: Emma is the fluffiest kitten of all. Let's save Emma: I-want-every-game-turns-into-harem dudes must be silenced.

So... I just played through this game and didn't have sex in it one time lol. What did I do wrong?

 

[MrWally]

Oke, complete unexpected twist in the storyline here for me. Didnt expect this to happen. Officer out of the picture and normally it's also Zac out of the storyline here... although probably some reporter would have taken photographs. But for now the girls are probably in shock for most of the rest of there lives in a normal world
