Yea. Shit like that happens all the time. You hang out with her proxy Layla. And if you choose to like her more than Layla you get all the consequences. Ergo you chose "drama" offered to you. You can have someone without drama but you choose to break some hearths and friendships because you want to do something you should not. It is as much drama as little kids throwing tantrum to get a candy when mommy said no. You could have met Elena first, but then you would be crying about Layla ?

This isn't fate or the divine at work here.

You hang out with Layla (as friends) and Elena at the same time, meet them at the same day (actually you meet Elena first).
I'm interested in Elena from the get to go, while having no interest in Layla romantically....so obviously i make a move on the girl i have no interest in, instead of the girl which actually interests me, because i can't ask the girl which interests me out on a date otherwise...makes absolute sense...:rolleyes:

If you'd meet Elena only when you are in a relationship with Layla it would be a different matter.

To make it even more jarring, you can make a move on pretty much any other girl, from the miles high club with a stranger to your teacher, but with Elena you can't and there is absolutely no fuking reason given as to why, with any other girl it is the players choice if you want to show interest.

So it is not "drama for drama" sake, but bad (unclear) storytelling ? As it should be obvious that Elena is staying away from MC at first (Layla called/implied dibs ) ? Also Nyx changed story so many times, the version I played/remembered Layla was first, Elena came later ( and was not even an option at the time). So, game (should)play out as Layla came first, you get to hang out with Elena because of Layla, like her and now have a choice to break Laylas hearth to continue to Elena. If that is not clear Nyx needs to rework that part of story (again!)...

Count them lol.

If makes easier, on standard layout, 1080 screen...there's 10 to the screen, so pretty easy to calculate within 30 seconds.

Yeah, I don't think I care them to count them one by one. Thanks for the info though. :)

Valeria kinda liked it. :cry: I was a little pissed, it made me post for the first time lmao.
We ain't worried about Darryl he's not a threat. The surfer dude on the other hand is an absolute gigachad. MC looked goofy next to him lol.

What does it matter if you hang out with Elena because Layla is the one who invites the MC ?
There is no romance going on at that point, why would Layla being interested in the MC stop the MC (player) to keep it friendly with her and instead go for Elena ?
The MC has feelings/interest for the girls we decide to.

Also Elena isn't staying away from the MC, you get the choice to spend time with Elena alone, like helping her with the cheer training at her home.

By the time the training camp happens you had time to spend time with Elena, you can reject Layla up to this point without breaking her heart and still be good friends with her...

No, it is drama for drama's sake.
If Nyx wanted to she could have given the choice to go for Elena at various points in the story, but she locks her behind Layla for drama.
She gives you the choice to go for Elena only at the worst possible time, not like when you were at the beach with Elena and she makes it pretty clear she is interested in the MC, it's obviously done for drama.

OK. What would your preffered solution be. Better reason for Elena to be behind Layla drama ( better writing ), or Elena as another option that has no conflicts with other parts of the story ? Or even have threesome with Layla and Elena as even better solution ?

I hope that whenever they rework the renders for pool/beach scenes they update the wet hair models as well cause man, it looks rough.

Poor MC dives in to the water and comes up with dry frizzy and somewhat thinning hair.

How about simply giving the players the choice to pursue Elena without being forced on Laylas love path, would be my favorite solution.
Makes sense story wise, you can still have conflicts, you can still cheat on her or do whatever you want to do, like you can create drama on any other path.

And while a threesome would be nice, it wouldn't make much sense if you aren't on a Layla path.

A good ingame reason as to why the MC isn't even considering pursuing Elena and you aren't given a choice would work too, but there just isn't any as the story is now.

You could have done it in a way where the MC only meets Elena when you are already in a relationship with Layla, in that case i'd agree with your earlier post, such things happen.
Or a reason which would go completely against the MC's character/conviction, as an other example.

possibly not and it becomes 3some ending.

Yes it sucks and unlikely to chance, Nyx loves her drama for drama's sake.

How is that "drama for drama sake" ? Or is it something you just type but have no idea what it means ?
