nah I love Layla as a character but I just don't see her as anything more than a best friend for the MC idk why just hard for me to see her as a LI, even after playing her path.

Not gonna get into a simp post of why I like Alexis but I just want to say while I don't disagree entirely even tho I do have some slight different point of views on some things. One of the main reason I like Alexis is if you are able to get past the bad she gets alot better and she feels like a actual girlfriend over Love Interest to me. Not many LI in these games give me that feeling and when I get a vibe like that they kind of automatically get ranked up alot higher than the rest as long as I don't totally hate them or consider them horrible people.

Edit : Forgot to mention how she is playful that is another thing I love from LI as well.

That's difficult to me because she never got to GF material, she was "gap filler" and went down from there.

And personally she just bores me with how lovey dovey she is, different strokes...

Now I don't know if she really is GF material id need to play her path again but while playing that path I just got that GF feeling with how playful she is and some of the other moments too after the camp. But what really sold that feeling for me is how she would call us or we call her every day while at camp to talk.

you mean the shold-have-been-ran-over chick? but wasn't so she should have been left and forgotten like that other city and everyone from it?

Full disclosure, i'm remarkably bored by these things even in real life, it's something i just go through the motions, barely listening... talking everyday when i have nothing to say always felt like a chore.
It figures it wouldn't do it for me in game either lol.

I'm Kramer lol

I think you are underselling how awful she was in that situation, she knowingly went behind the back of her best friend who she knows has unresolved feelings for this boy...
I think people making light of that aren't placing themselves in the characters shoes, if you had a friend that fully aware that you have a huge crush on a certain girl, made moves on her behind your back it wouldn't feel so good...

And her justification is that she was just "too involved", again much like you don't buy into what Erynn says, i don't buy into anything she's saying...
You became too involved in 2 hours? Upon seeing this guy that kissed you once, 5 years ago and you never saw again? A kid you barely knew?

And then there's the hypocrisy... if you tell her what she's done to Layla(pizza place scene), she gets on her high horse and judges you.
Plus other similar scenes where she gets to scold the MC for similar things to what she's done and it doesn't even occur to her.

From the POV of my initial plathrough of the game, i was banging Alexis because she (suppousedly)was offering no strings attached pussy, passing the time until someone more interesting comes along(but with potential to grow), she immediately started to show her clingyness which doesn't win you points but ok... but when it's revealed that she's hurting someone that i have a much bigger connection and much stronger feelings for, that's it... no coming back from that.

These and many more was mine reasoning too but I did put myself in Alexis' shoes, MC's shoes and Erynn's shoes and thought what would I do? I could not find a solution that does not make me bad.
I think you are downplaying MC's meaning to her. We also know MC is exactly her type also. So even if MC was a stranger she would fell hard for MC and he was not. MC clearly meant something more to her since she even kept the top from first kiss. He was her first kiss, even though it was childish and most likely her first crush.
She really tried to stay clear of MC also and gave in only after their 3rd random meeting. Everything MC did, somehow effected her deeply. Inner monologue about MC saying hi to her was an example for it. She did not choose to feel like that way, she even tried to deny it. I think that would be my first reaction also.
What she did to MC was terrible even inexcusable but yet understandable. She thought MC cute even before she knew who she was. At that moment she did not know why MC left then when MC revealed the reason, she noticed she was the reason MC left along with Ethan and Erynn. At this point MC hates Alexis as much as he hates Ethan. There was no way, she could have explained that. So she kept it to herself. Even MC admitted he would have acted differently if she told on the plane. Then their story goes like this for each of their encounters. Maybe she could have explained it after the concert but as she said she wanted to tell Erynn first.
What she did to Erynn was bad too but as far as we know, the moment she noticed she fell for MC she decided to tell Erynn. Erynn was the one who cancelled their talk, then immediately after thing blown up with MC. She could not know what to do, how to say. Like I said what she did was terrible but not without a reason.

From Erynn's shoes feeling betrayed makes sense but Erynn should have known that she has no claim on MC. Initial shock was on point, then after that forgiving Alexis made sense also. There were a few things in between but this is not a post about Erynn.

From MC's point, this is where it gets tricky. Irl, I would not give a fuck about Alexis' reasoning so her path would end for me there but if somehow, by some miracle, I'd hear her reasoning then I'd would forgive her and ask her forgiveness for being too mean to her.

I also don't like how clingy she is, also she tries to move forward at every opportunity that is a big turn off for me. Like kill/fuck/marry game, if you choose marry Alexis option she immediately starts making wedding plans and not even joking about it, she is dead serious. Even though MC tries to play it off, it was a wtf moment for me. A few other stuff too, no need to make this post longer. So I like her, I'll play her path but she is not on the top list though does not share hate list either.

I mean the chick should-have-been-ran-over but could not because too awesome to write off and definitely not gonna be forgotten even if she was other side of the universe let alone mere 6 hours flight, yes.

I don't think i am downplaying, it's an established fact that they barely ever talked, they had no friendship and she didn't have a crush on him or anything, their relationship was so small that the MC has no idea who she was...
Alexis doesn't recognize him immediately but remembers after he mentions Erynn, the only thing you can sell me is that she has fond memories of that day, looks back at it like a cute story... but not much more than that.
And i can understand her getting the hots for the adult MC, but personally i think a friendship should be worth more than that.

She did a piss poor job trying to "stay away", let's recap, she was the one who invited him into the bathroom, (second meeting)she asked him to stay until she leaves the bar and invited him into her house and came back with a lingerie and (third meeting)she picked up his phone from Zach and bootycalled him the next day... that's as bad a job of "staying away" as it gets, she's the initiator every time, her words don't match her actions in the slightest.
In regards to Erynn i think you have that backwards, again established fact Alexis had multiple chances to tell her, didn't say anything and Alexis was the one that cancelled the concert with Erynn...
Alexis was the one scared of this conversation because she knew she had betrayed Erynn's trust, and that's why she kept postponing it.
Erynn didn't even know there was a conversation to be had... she talked to Alexis about being happy the MC being back in town to which Alexis must've answered "that's great" and witholding the fact that she was banging him while this conversation was going on.
Erynn reacted with fury innitially but has been tremedously understanding, supportive even, since that(despite the fact that it's hurting her inside).
It's no secret that you can be in a relationship with Alexis while still having Erynn in love with you... and she does a much better job keeping it in her pants than Alexis did(same thing applies to Iris).

We differ in the sense that i heard her reasoning and thought it was pure bullshit, can't say a single thing that landed with me "i was scared to tell you", "i got involved" (as i said before way too quickly for me to buy it) and "i tried to stay away"... that's a laugh, try harder...
Also, when i play a game like this i try to get myself in the headspace of the protagonist, one of the premises of this game is that the MC has a long, somewhat troubled, history with Erynn, and despite some wounds he still cares about this girl, that makes me automatically protective of her and caring about her well being, when Alexis actions harm this relationship it's an automatic disqualification.

I do agree with your general reasons why she's just not for me even if i were to forgive her initial actions.

Unresolved feelings for a boy she hasn't spoken to in over five years because he deliberately cut her out of his life. A boy who was only 13 years old when she last saw him. Do you honestly not understand how insane that is? Alexis isn't the awful one in that situation.

The main character has a good reason to be upset with Alexis for her dishonesty with him, but Erynn doesn't have a leg to stand on since she's been lying to Alexis about Ethan for years. It's completely hypocritical for her to be upset at Alexis now.

Is there something I don't recall? Cause from what I recall Alexis hates Ethan, so I dont think Alexis would care that Erynn did anything with Ethan. Other than he is the reason their friendship almost ended. The only other thing that comes to mind is how Ethan is her model agent or whatever, after she ended her friendship with him. Still I don't think Alexis would care other than she might want to maybe try to be a little protective because how much she hates and doesn't trust Ethan. Even then I can almost see why she didn't telling Alexis about that cause she probably doesn't want her to get involved seeing how she is being blackmailed not to mention it's not something that is easy for her to talk about.

The whole excuse behind Alexis actions is also her feelings from her one interaction with this 13 year old...
Erynn lying about what's going on with Ethan is something that only harms Erynn, it doesn't hurt Alexis at all, if anything she's keeping her friend from getting hurt.
Alexis actions hurt the MC and Erynn... i'd say that was pretty fucking awful.

haha looks like we had the same thought about his post when it came to Erynn not telling Alexis about Ethan. We posted almost at the same time as well
