Nyx's already fixed that bug right after v0.10.5 release, so the next update won't have it. She'll be aware of all possible errors players may come across before EP11 comes out, I'm telling you. Btw, that bug is one of the small ones that the re-coded scripts have.
Looks like you finally established contact with Nyx. That's great, because you're extremely good bug finder/exterminator (y) . Unfortunately, you never got the credits you deserve.
Now I'm more than confused o_O . If re-coded scripts are so fucked up, why Nyx doesn't release fix (v0.10.5.1) before episode 11. The point of rewriting was to deal with errors, so players can make new save files before next update. Latest update progress indicates that it will be a long wait for EP11. Please, help me to understand this logic.

Most of the bugs are not so critical to be dramatic about. None of them would break your saves, no matter which path you choose to be on. Yeah, I know the whole thing about them sucks, and I hate encountering them like any other player. But this isn't going away. That's how it all works. Just take it easy, mate.

Nyx's still getting reported on errors, and it will keep that way 'till Ep. 11 comes out, I suppose. No need to release a bugfix now since 0.10.5 is a kind of intermediate version for players to do all their paths from scratch due to the re-coding done and some new variables added. It was not an update to play through the continued story, it was for you to be able to play next time the story gets continued. It itself was a kind of bugfix, you know what I mean? Bugfix for bugfix? No, I don't think so. Usually a new episode gets a bugfix patch. So I think 0.11 is gonna be a big bugfix for 0.10.5 (there will be 0.11.1, 0.11.2... some time later). As Nyx said, there will be another bug checking before the new release, so logic is quite simple (???).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not on anyone's side here, rather trying to accept what I'm not able to change though. That's quite difficult, but not impossible. I just want Intertwined get any better. And if that's what Nyx wants either, so I'm about to put up with any issue she causes. She's a Dev, she's a Boss. Headstrong though:D

Nyx is not good at coding, never learned how to do it correctly. That's for sure. What she needs is to make more time on checking and rechecking the code she does.

So you mean Zach can take Vals virginity?
That would be epic here in the forum, I'm sure riots would start!
Was talking about Alexis
About Val I have no Idea why she put herself in the game and how she would feel about mmm... losing her visual virginity to Zach.... probably MC cause he is her dream boi :KEK:
She's more likely to do Darryl(if you ignore her she says Darryl is the guy she would bang out of their classmates, something along those lines) than throw Zach a bone.

So I just looked it up, as the way I've seen people use it on the boards has always come across as "Any girl the MC might be interested in isn't a virgin and/or it's implied/shown she's with someone else". And that's bad, mmmkay?

What it actually is:
"A genre of pornography where a 's or close associate is and taken away by an ."

So it could still turn into NTR if you don't succeed in helping Erynn I guess. As someone who doesn't care about NTR, I don't see a problem either way. It always comes across as someone having deep insecurities that they're unwilling to confront when they cry about it constantly. It's like that and "Is there incest in this game?" are the most brought up topics aside from "When is the next update coming out?"

I haven't played in a while, so not everything is fresh in my memory and I don't know if the rewrite fixed any of the issues.

We're told the MC was a shit-kid so to speak, but this isn't really reflected in his personality. Emily is immediately super happy to see him. Barely any dialogue to actually address the issues of the past. Only dialogue about the past.

Massive changes needed to have happened to the MC to change him this much over such a short period of time. I wonder if we're going to see any of it.

Emily and the real dad are framed as the good ones. But it doesn't make much sense:
- Emily sent MC away, because she couldn't handle him.
- Emily should be having some conflicting feelings about seeing him again and how she handled it.
- She should at least be surprised by his change.
- She should want to address the past.

Real dad:
- Quite the womanizer.
- Handsome.
- Fun.
- Handled the past with Emily poorly.
- Seems to be a bad husband.

Why are they framed as good people? Would at least suspect them to be framed as "Have become better people, but had a regrettable past".

I think the more egregious one is the step-dad though, he makes no sense to me whatsoever. For some reason he's presented as a complete asshole.

- He accepted MC as his son, even though it was clear that he wasn't his.
- He remained the father even after breaking up with the mum.
- He seems to be an OK step-dad to Nikki and Clara.
- He seems to be an OK fiance.

The incongruities:
- He hides his "new family" even though he has seemingly no reason to
- He cheats on his new wife-to-be, which is shitty. However this doesn't seem to align with his prior behaviour.
- He then punches the kid for calling him out, the kid he accepted and remained in custody off even though he had no reason to.

As such he is framed as the worst out of the 3 parents, but it takes multiple actions conflict with his prior established personality. To make it seem "reasonable".

I can't reconcile the framing with the reality of what we're presented. However, it's somewhat vague in my memory. So I might've missed some key details.

MC was a good kid until the Erynn "rejection", then he went off the rails and became a piece of shit. After time to get over Erynn (which wouldn't have happened while seeing her everyday living next door) he's gone back to being a good kid. Emily did the right thing by sending MC away, especially if she had found out the reason for him behaving as he was. Staying next door to Erynn he would have just got worse not better.

Not sure in what context you think the real dad has been characterised as a good person? We see he demanded Emily get an abortion and had nothing to do with Emily or MC when she refused. We don't see much else from him, he's not remembered especially fondly by Emily in her flashback from what I could tell.

As for Andres, yes he did well for MC standing in as his father. The question is his motivation for this, at first it appeared like he did it for Emily, but the speed of the deterioration of their relationship brings that into question. He also demanded that Emily never tell MC the truth about MC's parentage, even after their break-up, he couldn't refuse his parental responsibilities while making that demand so why he remained as MC's father in everyone's eyes is still unknown.

Hiding his new family may be directly related to the fact he was cheating on his new fiancee, he didn't introduce MC because he was playing the field and hadn't made up his mind who to be with, the question is why he decided to get married if he was not ready to settle down. From what we know from MC (who hasn't given us much information about his life with Andres) he wasn't aware of him having many girlfriends, but the likelihood is that he was just hiding them from MC (or hiding MC from them if he didn't want them to know he had a kid, not as much of an issue with a single mother).

I can actually forgive the punch to be honest (I'm in a tiny minority here I know), he was already mad at MC for sleeping with Nikki/Cara (depending on playthrough, obviously not a mitigating factor if sleeping with neither) then MC accuses him of cheating in front of his fiancee's daughter, making him more angry and he lashes out.

The problem with the contradiction is how little we actually know about him, he may have always had the short temper (I vaguely remember Emily mentioning it) so that's not against his characterisation. When MC sees Emily and Melissa kissing he gets mad and says that Emily was lying about the reason for her breaking up with Andres, suggesting that Emily had told MC that Andres cheated on her, but MC now believes it was Emily who cheated. So Andres' characterisation as a cheater was already there but only vaguely alluded to.

Santiago´s parents demanded an abortion not Santiago!
he was probably a playboy mommy´s boy so unlikely to go against his family!
you would be surprised how many fun hanging around tough dudes are unable to tell their parents no!

in my theory, Valeria´s mom was preggers from Santiago and his parents being friends with Val´s mom parents made it official!
so he was put in an impossible situation, and when his mother offered him an out he took it, just like most mommy´s kids!

Andres motivation, could be revenge. i suspect quite a few women do this, they marry dudes to get revenge on them and breaking them...
considering the logic of some divorces, totally feasible! some people are dark empaths who relish on such petty revenges,
you miss treated me that one time or for this 2 weaks when we started dating?
instead of learning the lesson that they are not compatible, they go into the relationship learn to manipulate,
get married, probably have 2 kids, and then slam the hammer for shit 20 years in the past to destroy the man that no longer exists
taking away his money. house, kids life and totally ruining his good name over the most stupid reason as "i am no longer happy!"

as for your part of picking a single mother because he is a single father,... it proves he is considerate of the MC and a good guy!
i mean the MC is not far from adulthood, he could just kick him out at 18 but this way it proves he intends to keep the MC in his life!
the fact the MC as not known many girlfriends could totally be because the MC is a creep!
imagine!
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
so, the MC did not see many Girlfriends after this for obvious reasons,
he is a creep stealing his fathers girlfriends panties and shaming them after they sleep over!

i had a ret con over this in a previous post! Andres can have tried to hit on Melissa several times over many years until Mel tells EM whats going on!
this latest motivation of making him a dark empath could also work, he married her to ruin her life but,
she had to open the restaurant while still with Andres!
you do not get that location and such success in the 4-5 years ever since the MC left,
thats at least a work of a decade! Andres being a corporate dude probably helped her opening up the restaurant
and keep her books balanced, particulary in the 1st years were its the hardest
and you need support including emotionally, particularly with a kid and someone to stay with the kid during the high season
were stress and overtime is a killer!

It actually does turn it into NTR If you don't help her but it's off screen if you don't help her while she's being touched up and slapped by Ethan she ends up giving in and having sex with Ethan.

He mentions it when you go with Zach just after Zach punches you I believe but at that point if you're not helping her you're a monster who doesn't like Erynn so it's not NTR to those people but it certainly would be to people who are completionists who wanna do everything even if it hurts them or a character they like.

Yeah i read that once around here, didnt ever went that path though... iam not one of those who have to do "everything" to unlock 100%, especially not if it include some dark path iam really not comfortable with.

And even if i wouldnt care for Erryn (but i do, like her some how, way more than alexis), not helping her in that scene where Ethan is harrasing her? Come on... i would even try to help a complete stranger on the street... not that iam a "strong hero" type... i am afraid of any violence. But screaming out loud "help fire over here" does the trick pretty much everytime... Just screaming for "help" doesnt do anything, but mentioning fire? Oh boy you will be surprised how many people are getting to the scene in an instant, even in the middle of the night. Nevermind... point is... i could not go that dark path down, and overall, i think i doesnt really fit the MC too... cause even if you play like you dont care for Erryn, the MC doesnt really "act" like an asshole throughout the game, even if you try... he is way to nice most of the time, and your decisions doesnt really change his behaivior in a way where it makes sense that he simple doesnt help someone in heavy need. Especially if you consider that its Ethan there... cause no matter what, the MC always hates him. Not helping there just doesnt make sense. I think, it shouldnt be an option here... cause it doesnt fit anything the mc is doing so far.

Believe me I hope so I hope he did lie about it just to try and get a rise out of the MC But I also still see it as possible as him telling the truth because of how Erynn is in that scene both ways

If you help she just stops talking and when MC Says her name she just starts balling her eyes out and if you don't help she notices MC Walking by and is saying please in her head basically begging him to help in her head and that's where I think if she did give in that's where she broke and gave in because one of the only people she was comfortable opening up to about some of it just walked on by like nothing was happening.

Not gonna lie watching that scene broke me a bit. I picked it just to see the scene play out and after I saw that i went straight back and helped her ain't no way I'm gonna leave my girl Erynn hanging haha of course I'm gonna help her.

Shortly : Santi is written to be the good person which he isn't
We haven't really met him yet beyond a few minor scenes, but he's definitely not a good person the way he's written. We know he's dumped Emily after getting her pregnant, he's probably dumped his other family for a nubile track and field high school athlete Gabi, now we know he's already tired of her and probably, like DiCaprio, looking for a new barely legal GF that's literally old enough to be his daughter.

Laugh all you want, it's all fun and games until you learn Santi has been trying to bang Layla when the MC was busy with his wife.
trying? the dude as 20 years experience, he does not try he either does or chooses not to over moral reasons...

Also... who is Helena father? i wonder if they where Andres secret family...

At this rate, it won't take many years for her new girl to be young enough to be his granddaughter.
