Damn, Nyx doesn't play around. I was holding out for a potential throuple got my hopes high with hot tub party. Elena is my no 1 chick in the novel but Layla is a close second. Zero sum for me :confused:
yeah it fucking sucks but it is what it is, Elena will also hate your guts anyway after what you did to Layla so no winning here... unless she makes some absolutely ridiculous shit. The girls are way too close to each other to simply forgive MC, even if Elena learns why he did it

So the impact of sleeping with Layla on relationship with Elena is unclear for now? Speaking from variables perspective.

I mean sleep with Layla = solo Layla route
and not sleep with Layla = solo Elena route?

maybe cause Layla is more of in the middle how I rank LI in this game and i see Layla more as a friend not a LI. While sucks to make her cry I didn't feel like a complete asshole the way you break things off with her to attempt to be with Elena , since the MC had the balls to do it right before he could of had sex with her when he realized what was going to happen. While yes the MC is a asshole for leading Layla on longer than he should of when it seemed he started to like Elena more granted it was was somewhat late into the game / relaationship.

I am not very content about the fact that Nyx handled the branching just right before sex after a date, yes losing virginity is a big deal but it is not like Layla is that-level prude and it was not like that they would be in a serious relationship. Also the fact that MC starting to daydream Elena after the hot tub party is a bit rushed. So Elena would be like: "they have fucked and I can't be interested in MC anymore." Real life feelings doesn't work like that, I guess. MC tries to be the good guy for the sake of the plot, which feels contradictory to the essence of "Intertwined" imo. the branching and potential break up could have been way organic and dramatic if been left for later.

these are the variable changes if you choose Elena... so we won't know for sure until the next update(s)

I don't know if it is because I find I'm able to get hooked / easily entertained onto things easily some people consider bad or just okay when it comes to tv / anime. Or I just don't look that deep into things when it comes to entertainment because of that but I honestly always found her believable to some extent at the very least. Might be because the trauma Erynn suffers from it's easy for me to find some of things believable that others wouldn't. I don't know why I find her believable when others don't to be honest or if it's what I mentioned about earlier about me being easily entertained . Not saying she is or isn't as I believe that is more on a person by person opinion.
What catches our focus plays a huge part.
Can be said in several cases what is relatable by personal experiences.
Be it from observation or direct involvement.

Witnessing trauma of a rape-victim or experiencing it.
Gives different focus of its validity(point of references).
Those whom have not or do not.

Have limited perspectives on aspects being more legit/believable.
Does not make anyone less or more, just different.
However, it says a lot about a person expressing said events.

When it comes to matters in bonding of two vested into each other.
Events there are no mistaking the outcomes of.
More often then not, people peg it with what they know.

Even if it's only observations.
Identify in their focus, believe'ability value.
Of said story in question.

Some inconsistencies are hard-core for those whom lived it.

At times it feels like I am one of the few who all my VN without mods nothing against them is it really that hard to multiple saves
I don't play with mods either unless it's something that adds music might add a gallery mod but usually only add that one after I beat my first Playthrough as looking at a gallery can sometimes spoiler how close to the end of the game you are. It's not like these games are like Skyrim where mods feels like a must have.

I almost never use mods (unless you count enabling the console and remapping quicksave) -almost everything I do when stuck at something involves rpaextract tho.

I'll gladly play a game without mods. I CANT play games without console.

If you are on the Elena route, you can choose to not sleep with Layla and instead confess to Layla that you like Elena.

Also, once you get enough Elena points to help her with her cheerleading, you can feel like a bit less of a jerk by choosing other girls in interactions rather than Layla, primarily Valeria (like hugging only Valeria before the race, saying Valeria is the prettiest, etc.) and generally minimizing the Layla points accumulating. Layla’s reaction will still be the same, but it’ll make you feel less like you were unfairly stringing her along.

Yeah I mean I'm not worried about ntr scenes going down because a)i know this game wont go there b) even if it did i can handle it, ive played a ton of ntr games, but more I meant it just felt weird. Like why are we seeing this? What does this have to do with the story? (To be fair, a lot of the prior Erynn scenes often invoke a similar feeling, only way I can describe it is like you're reading the buildup dialogue in an ntr game, but then there's no sex scene - like all the talk about the Erynn escort business and photoshoot and zane - just weird, it feels like you're looking at a puzzle with pieces missing all over)
Nyx just seems to love to tease with pseudo-NTR-ish stuff. Not sure if it's her just trying to broaden the world so that everyone isn't about the MC, but between the girls all findng some teacher hot, Erynn going off about John (who is likely her dad) being hot, Iris grabbing Emily's ass, Erynn's escort services and naked modeling, and pretty much everything with Val... it's definitely kind of odd.

Speaking of realism and behaviors, this is certainly one of them. We all do it...talk about other men and women like this...even when we are in a relationship. But there is a lot to what you are saying about world-expanding. Nyx has talked about it in Discord. And it is a constant battle with how much to expand but balance people getting upset about it approaching the NTR realm.

When it comes to real life, I cannot stand this game that people play with each other. Flirting with someone else when the one you really want is right there. Why play with jealousy when you can just be an adult and tell them how you feel? Fucking blows my mind that grown adults still play this game. So, it is obviously naturally occurring...and highly annoying.

BTW, Erynn is just doing what models do. They take photos in and out of all types of clothing. They go to events as hired arm candy. And she hates it.

Someone played Val's route, man I thought the part where you actually start hanging out with her was really weird, and the part where she's at the gym is really weird, anyone who played that route, what did you think of that part?

Hey, I am not a Val expert. But I loved it. The photobooth and her talking with her mom. Loved that whole thing. What made you feel weird about hanging with her?

Completely agree. There's a distinction between reality and game, and to some extent (depending on the kinks/fetishes in the game, of course), I think a lot of adult games tend to be more about ego stroking. That can make sitting there listening to your three LIs talking about how hot someone else is (or Val seemingly being into Darryl even though she's also seemingly into you) frustrating.

I do think that's why people like tags to be clearly communicated. I don't have a problem with NTR in games as long as I know it's coming (and for the record, this hasn't been one at all... imo, it just veers wildly between every LI finding you attractive and then some of them opting instead to play the game as you put it or being blackmailed into nebulous off-screen interactions), but when people feel blindsided, it can get nasty.

Someone played Val's route, man I thought the part where you actually start hanging out with her was really weird, and the part where she's at the gym is really weird, anyone who played that route, what did you think of that part?
Definitely got a new perspective on her as a character from the gym/beach scenes. Feels a lot less authentic than how she came across at training camp.
