Interesting. I literally see his character as being a jerk overall.
I think it is just because of how I view Zach's role in the story. As I said Zach has now gained a new role of reacting to the MCs role of being the MC, the main focus of attention of the women in the game. Some games are more direct with it, such as having a character outright state the MCs actions may not be morally correct trying to charm or date several women. Zach has had several updates of build up establishing his relationship and his personality amongst the cast of characters before having him have that moment of calling out the MCs actions of being the MC and the women being attracted to him. In all honesty, if the role was reversed and Zach was the MC it very well could be his antics that get him all the women, but he is basically subject to being a side character and being overshadowed by the MC. Zach in himself very much reminds me of other adult game MCs in a sense. Even before last update, that is what compelled me about his character and why I don't think his actions made him a complete jerk especially in conjunction with his actual positive interactions with characters. I think if he can learn to be more accepting and aware of the wants of others especially over his own and also toning down some of his antics, he will go a long way.
If it was reversed and Zach's antics as the MC got him all the girls, I'd be thinking "This is pretty stupid" while playing through the game. The MC is popular because he has a charming personality and is confident with the girls. He also appears handsome to most of them. Big point here: he listens to them and responds appropriately.
I tend to agree. Zach's conduct toward the girls is inexcusable (especially the spying) but it should be obvious that it even makes the other male characters uncomfortable. I don't know about the head trauma, but he is certainly maladjusted and unable to function as an adult, which all the other college-age characters are supposed to be.
If you didn't like it before I'm not really sure you'll like Intertwined now. It's an amazing AVN, but maybe it just isn't for you if haven't like it from the beginning.
If going by that..... by it's self(alone), tells me it's not going to improve.
But Zach isn't reacting to the MC's dating several women because his behavior doesn't change when the MC limits himself to a single girl (or even no girls). He doesn't even react to how well you treat him! Zach is a small-minded jackass no matter what, pure and simple. If he'd been the main character and his antics were supposed to win over the girls, I very much doubt I'd have played the game long enough to see him punch his 'sensitive guy' sidekick.
I would run the Alexis path once because this path i found is currently the most dense, most finished and best staged path.
Alexis is such a rare wonder girl in all of gaming, even scarcer IRL. She be best at everything.
At first I thought this was too extreme, but then I realized this would probably save some poor girl from getting date raped. Zack is really entitled, pushy, and even creepy.
Yeah, i give it a try and Lexi got way more content over all, It was still mostly Cara, i had her in that run, and the flashback, but Lexi got enough time in to count and got a decent amount of progression.
Yes ia also tried all girls path...and it seems Nyx put a lot more attention and work into Alexis path than for any other girls yet...
...But i dont know if Nyx would add in older chapters any additional content to make Erynn or other girls more engaging and dense in future updates...i see very seldom that any devs are improving character storytelling/introduction in already released chapters of a game. Mostly they just add new progress to story..
